What Is LED Therapy?
LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to target skin concerns at a cellular level. Red light boosts collagen and healing, blue light targets acne-causing bacteria, and near-infrared light helps reduce inflammation. It's completely non-invasive, painless, and suitable for most skin types.
Common treatment goals:
- Reducing acne or breakouts
- Calming redness or rosacea
- Supporting post-treatment skin healing
- Boosting collagen production
- Improving dull, uneven skin tone
What to Expect
You'll relax under a light-emitting device for about 20–30 minutes. Depending on your goals, your practitioner will choose the appropriate wavelength or light combination. The experience is painless and requires no prep or recovery time.

What People Are Saying
My skin always looks calmer and less inflamed after LED. It's my go-to after peels or microneedling.

I was surprised at how much it helped with my breakouts — it's gentle but really works when you stay consistent.
