LED Light Therapy is the use of specific types of light that give off energy that stimulates your cells, thereby increasing the production of collagen and elastin. In turn, this makes your skin firmer, less wrinkled, and younger-looking. This is known as LED Light Therapy. LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. Diodes give off energy in the form of light. These little diodes are compact, durable, powerful, bright, efficient, and, when used in the right combination (not all LEDs are created equal), produce rejuvenating effects on the skin. In the same way that we become more energized with the lighter, more prolonged days of spring, LED helps to stimulate energy in our cells, activating the natural, rejuvenating, healing process. Our body is a brilliant machine, and given the right tools, such as proper, effective skincare, and some of today’s safe, effective, cutting edge devices, like micro-current and LED, we can absolutely, correct and prevent the signs of aging.
People need specific wavelengths of light, similar to the way plants need sunlight to thrive. LED Light Therapy translates the process of plant photosynthesis into the workings of human skin cells, stimulating the body’s cells to build new proteins the same way plants use Chlorophyll to convert sunlight into cellular building blocks. Your skin and other body tissues can absorb light and use it as a source of energy to stimulate cellular regeneration. I always find it quite fascinating to see how our hair and nails grow faster more in the summertime and also as evidence of how our body uses light and the similarities between humans and plants. The light rays that are emitted from a quality device are beneficial for your skin, as they contain no UV rays. The problem with getting these same light rays from the sun is that you also get the harmful UV rays. These harmful rays can do more damage to your skin than good. With LED Light Therapy, when the correct wavelengths of light closely and intensely flow into the body, some pretty unexpected things start to occur:
LED lights help to heal 150-200% faster and decrease inflammation (the root of all disease and aging), which encourages the wrinkles in the top layers of skin. It also helps stimulate collagen & elastin, which creates a better surface. It is beneficial for so many skin conditions-discolorations, acne, wrinkles, dryness, and more! Another significant benefit of LED is the ability to help serums and healthy products penetrate the skin, making your skincare products more effectively.
LED Light Therapy is approved and recommended by Oncology Esthetics organizations, which, as you can imagine, have incredibly strict regulations as cancer patients in treatment are incredibly sensitive. Nasa has conducted tons of research on LED technology to help plants grow. The Agency has also worked with LEDs to help regulate astronauts’ sleep cycles on the International Space Station (ISS), where 16 sunrises and sunsets every 24 hours tend to throw off their internal clocks. I think it’s safe to say that LED is indeed safe.LED, like most treatments, is accumulative, meaning, just like working out, our cells continue to get healthier with time and continued use. This is incredible in the treatment room, as well as at for home use to prevent and reverse the signs of again. As I have said before, your cells don’t know their age, so why should anyone else?! Your secret is safe with me. At Lisa Eddy Skincare, we use and recommend LED light therapy for several skin conditions with excellent results and are happy to discuss and make any specific recommendations for you.
