LED light therapy, or phototherapy, is a non-invasive skincare treatment that uses different wavelengths of light to address various skin concerns.
LED lights penetrate deep into the skin cells, aiming to enhance internal functions, stimulate dermal blood flow, and promote faster healing. The treatment is known for its non-invasive and soothing nature.
LED light therapy has diverse applications, including reducing pain, decreasing acne, and potentially addressing other skin concerns. The treatment is adaptable to different needs.
Here are You Glow Aesthetics detailed pre and post-treatment instructions to help you achieve the best possible results from your session.
To prepare for your LED Light Treatment, arrive with a clean, makeup-free face. Stop using harsh actives (like retinoids, strong acids, or exfoliants) for about 2–3 days before your appointment. Avoid sunburn or overexposure to UV light in the days leading up to your session. If you have any skin sensitivities, recent procedures, or active breakouts in the treatment area, let your technician know so we can adjust your treatment plan appropriately.
After your LED Light session, your skin should feel calm and may appear refreshed — some mild warmth or glow is normal. Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers and avoid applying harsh actives (retinoids, strong acids, or exfoliants) for 2–3 days. Continue protecting your skin from direct sun exposure and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. Also avoid environments with extreme heat, steam rooms, or heavy sweating for the first 24 hours to keep the skin calm and support optimal results.
LED (Light Emitting Diode) Light Therapy, also known as phototherapy, is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate deep into the skin. It is designed to boost cellular function, stimulate blood flow, and accelerate the skin’s natural healing process.
It is a versatile treatment used for a variety of concerns, including:
Reducing active acne and inflammation.
Promoting anti-aging by stimulating collagen.
Reducing pain and soothing sensitized skin.
Improving overall skin tone and texture.
The experience is very relaxing and painless. Most clients describe it as a warm, soothing sensation. Unlike laser treatments, there is no “snapping” or discomfort involved.
Absolutely! LED therapy is often used as a powerful “add-on” to other skin treatments to speed up healing and enhance the final results.
