LED light therapy (Light Emitting Diode therapy) is a non-invasive skincare treatment that uses different wavelengths of light to treat various skin concerns. It’s popular in both medical and beauty settings and is known for being gentle, painless, and suitable for all skin types.
LED lights emit different colours, each penetrating the skin at different depths and offering unique benefits:
Red Light – Stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and improve skin firmness.
Blue Light – Targets acne-causing bacteria, reducing breakouts and calming inflammation.
Green Light – Helps with hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and brightening the complexion.
Yellow/Amber Light – Reduces redness and boosts circulation, often used for sensitive or irritated skin.

LED light therapy was originally developed by NASA in the 1990s.
Scientists were researching how LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights could help promote plant growth in space.
During these experiments, they discovered something surprising: red and near-infrared light could stimulate cell growth and repair in human tissues as well.
Following NASA's findings, medical researchers began studying LED light therapy for its potential healing benefits.
Early trials showed that red and infrared light could accelerate wound healing, reduce inflammation, and stimulate collagen production — all without damaging the skin.
Over time, this technology moved from hospitals and medical settings into the cosmetic and skincare industry.
Beauty professionals realised that different light wavelengths could treat a wide range of skin concerns, from acne to aging, and it became a popular, non-invasive option for skin rejuvenation.
Gentle, relaxing treatment

Enhances results when combined with facials or serums
Long-term skin health benefits with regular session

Temporary Redness or Irritation
Some people may experience mild redness or tightness in the skin immediately after treatment.
This typically fades within a few hours.
2. Dryness or Flakiness
The skin might feel a bit dry or flaky after multiple sessions, especially with blue light treatments for acne.
3. Increased Light Sensitivity
Rarely, LED light may cause photosensitivity in some individuals, especially if they are taking medications like antibiotics, retinoids, or certain acne treatments.
4. Eye Sensitivity or Discomfort
Direct exposure to the LED light can irritate the eyes. Proper eye protection (like goggles) should always be used during treatment.
5. Headache or Light Discomfort
Some people report mild headaches or discomfort from the brightness if they are light-sensitive.
