LEDWhat is LED?
LED (light emitting diode) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses different wavelengths of light to target a range of skin concerns. It’s a low-intensity treatment, generally well tolerated, and usually involves no downtime. Whether it’s suitable for you, and what it may help with, is discussed at your consultation.
What LED may help with
Different wavelengths of light are used to target different concerns. LED may be considered for:
- Skin quality — red and near-infrared light may support collagen production and the skin’s natural repair processes, which may help with skin texture and the appearance of fine lines.
- Acne — blue light may help reduce the bacteria associated with acne and may help calm inflammation.
- Redness and sensitivity — LED may help calm inflammation and redness, and is sometimes used for concerns such as rosacea and sensitive skin.
- Post-procedure care — LED is sometimes used to support the skin’s recovery after other treatments, such as laser or chemical peels.
Because different wavelengths suit different concerns, your clinician will discuss which may be appropriate for you.
*Important information
All cosmetic and medical procedures carry risks and may not be suitable for everyone. Cosmetic and medical treatments at The Skin Centre begin with a consultation, where your clinician will assess your skin, discuss the options that may be appropriate for you, and explain the risks, recovery and likely number of treatments involved. Not every consultation results in treatment. Individual results vary from person to person.
The information on these pages is general and does not constitute medical advice. Suitability, risks and expected outcomes are discussed during your consultation.
