This is what you need to know about this innovative treatment Hollywood swears by:
- LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, which is a computer chip encased in a glass-like resin, which emits therapeutic wavelengths (or colours) of light energy.
- Light therapy was originally developed to fast-track the healing of wounds and post-surgery scars; however, it was later found to also rejuvenate healthy skin. A happy coincidence indeed!
- If the therapeutic light energy is in the correct wavelength, the cells in the dermis layer of the skin will convert that light energy into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the fuel that the cell uses to do its job.
- The fibroblast cells in the dermis layer have the job of producing collagen and elastin, thus, LED gives the cells a full tank of fuel and these fibroblast cells start to produce collagen and elastin like when one was 20-25 years old.
- LED is the only aesthetic device that has no contra-indications of any kind. It is good for all skin types, colours and conditions.
- In-salon treatments are recommended two to three times a week for a course of four to six weeks. Ideal for pre-wedding prep or before a big event.
- One session only takes 20 minutes.
