EXPERIENCE SKIN PERFECTION
When NASA found that the Red-Light therapy activated natural plant growth in space, they started researching medical applications for people. NASA’s findings demonstrated health benefits from specific wavelengths that the red light delivered through light emitting diodes (LEDs).
The medical science community took notice and over the last 3 decades, there has been extensive clinical research on the various medical applications of red-light therapy. The results are extremely encouraging for people seeking natural, non-invasive treatments for a wide range of medical conditions.
Biologists have found that cells exposed to near-infrared light from LEDs grow 150 to 200 percent faster than cells not stimulated by such light. The light arrays increase energy inside cells that speed up the healing process.
Red LED Light rejuvenates and tightens the skin at the same time, reduces hormone levels, minimizes fine lines, wrinkles and pores, eliminates skin discoloration and pigmentation, diminishes scars and prevents stretch marks. In Addition, the Red-light therapy can improve general joint problems that are unrelated to arthritis.
A 2015 systematic review on Lasers in a Medical Science research facility found that red light therapy plus ultrasound show strong results for treating hand osteoarthritis on women, with a major decline in pain. This meta-analysis also documented extensive, positive results for the use of light therapy for arthritis in the knees, neck, back, jaw, and other areas.
Another systematic review in The Australian Journal of Physiotherapy researched 11 clinical trials of light therapy for chronic joint disorders in the knee. Across all these studies, light therapy reduced pain while improving overall joint function.
Studies support the (blue) LED therapy for dermatological applications.
A study published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, proved that using LED light with frequencies of 415 nm (blue), 830 nm (infrared), and 633 nm (red), showed promising results for treating many medical conditions, including wound healing, psoriasis, acne vulgaris, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma in situ (Bowen’s disease) and actinic keratosis. LED therapy has also demonstrated significant positive results in cosmetic applications.
In another study published in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, shown that the use of LED light could promote skin rejuvenation. Moreover, the study concluded that LED therapy is safe and aesthetic device that can be used on all type of skin conditions.
The Blue LED light eliminates harmful bacteria and toxins while simultaneously inhibiting excess oil to effectively treat and prevent adolescent or adult acne, reduce redness and inflammation, heal the sebaceous glands and, over time, reduce age and dark spots significantly while minimizing pores.
Once the right wavelength of light from an LED is applied, it stimulates the cells to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the energy form used by the cells of the body.
Fibroblast cells in the dermis of the skin use ATP to produce collagen and elastin – two important structures that maintain skin firmness and elasticity. Hence, by enhancing energy stored in the skin, LED therapy may stimulate the renewal of connective tissue and reduce the appearance of premature skin aging.
LED therapy is also suitable for improving uneven skin tone, reducing pores size and improving firmness of the skin, rejuvenating the youthful glow of the skin, and brightening the skin.
In short, LED light therapy has many applications in dermatology. It is a non-invasive, safe, and effective treatment ideal for all skin types. With its safety and efficacy, it’s no wonder the LED light therapy is emerging globally as a new skin treatment.
