LED light therapy exposes the skin to specific wavelengths of light. Blue light targets acne-causing bacteria, and red light is used to calm the skin and support collagen. It is generally well tolerated, but benefit and suitability depend on the device and condition.
What it treats
- Mild to moderate acne
- Redness and irritation
- Fine lines and dullness
- Skin recovery after other treatments
What to expect
You relax under an LED panel with eye protection for about 15 to 20 minutes. It feels like gentle warmth. A series of sessions usually gives the best results.
Where it is offered
Offered at all of our offices.
Q&A
Is LED light therapy safe?
LED treatment does not use ultraviolet light, but irritation and light sensitivity can occur. Eye protection and device-specific instructions matter. Tell your provider about photosensitivity and all medicines you take.
Can it replace my acne medicine?
LED therapy works best alongside a medical acne plan, not instead of it.
