How Different LED Light Therapies Improve Skin Health: A Medical Guide
Posted by Peggy Demetriou, FNP, APRN-BC on 27th Sep 2024
LED light therapy is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to address various skin concerns by penetrating the skin at different depths.
Red light (630-700 nm) penetrates deeply to stimulate collagen production and accelerate cellular repair. It is commonly used to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and promote healing, making it effective for anti-aging and inflammatory conditions. At Qvita Health and Wellness we are proud to offer the LMNT One, for your home medical-grade option.
The LMNT One is an at-home, non-thermal treatment to protect from premature aging signs. The red wavelengths stimulate collage production and benefits can be noticed after 3 weeks of regular use. It is flexible for all skin types, regardless of age.
Other LED lights have their purpose as well and are listed below:
Blue light (405-470 nm) has antimicrobial properties that target *Propionibacterium acnes*, the bacteria responsible for acne. This light is widely used in the treatment and prevention of acne by reducing bacteria, controlling oil production, and minimizing breakouts.
Green light (520-560 nm) is used to treat hyperpigmentation by inhibiting excess melanin production. It helps lighten dark spots, including sun damage and melasma, while evening out overall skin tone.
Yellow light (570-590 nm) improves blood circulation and reduces redness and inflammation. It is effective for treating conditions like rosacea and calming sensitive skin, especially after medical procedures.
Purple light combines the benefits of red and blue light, targeting both acne and skin healing simultaneously. It is used to improve skin texture, reduce acne scars, and promote overall rejuvenation.
LED light therapy is non-invasive, safe for most skin types, and promotes cellular repair. Its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties make it a valuable tool for treating conditions such as acne, hyperpigmentation, and aging. Consistent, supervised use can enhance skin health and support other medical treatments. Check out the LMNT for your anti-aging LED at-home device at our store!
