Does Light Therapy Really Improve Skin

LED therapy has grown in popularity in the past few years. It promises to fight acne and signs of aging with the use of light technology. Pair that claim with cool fancy contraptions that make it look like you’re in the year 2145, and you have a trendy beauty treatment that everyone is dying to try. But how exactly can a device that emits bright lights help you get a clearer and brighter complexion?

HOW DOES IT WORK?
If you decide to go get an LED treatment along with a massage or facial at a spa, you really don’t have to do much but lie there. “After microneedling or microdermabrasion, we place LED panels a few inches away from the patient's face. ”
“Eye protection is also placed as the lights are quite bright. We treat [the skin] for about 15 minutes. At first, it feels warm, but patients report really liking the feeling of relaxation.”
The light doesn’t cause any burns or skin damage. It’s pretty much painless, and if you like lights, the colors can even be relaxing. “We typically recommend light therapy every one to two weeks if an important event is coming up.” .
“If it’s just for maintenance, we treat with our patients’ monthly microdermabrasion or micro-needling treatments.”
