There are many ways to get glowing, acne-free skin. It is important to take care of your skin from the inside out, but the appearance of your skin is also impacted by what you put on it. If you are looking for a way to rejuvenate the appearance of your skin and treat advanced skin conditions, you should consider using LED light therapy at home.

What is LED Light Therapy?

Light emitting diode therapy is a treatment that uses a combination of light and energy to treat skin conditions including acne, psoriasis, alopecia, and vitiligo. The reason why LEDs are becoming more popular as a treatment method is because it has shown to be effective in treating certain skin conditions and to revitalise the appearance of your skin. It is a non-invasive treatment option for skin. LED light therapy has been in existence for over 30 years. In the past, Navy SEALs used LED light therapy to help heal wounds. The treatment led to improvements of more than 40% in musculoskeletal injuries in team members. It also reduced wound healing time. It was used initially as a way to treat malignant tumours but has since been used to treat the skin. Treatment is also frequently prescribed by dermatologists due to its proven effectiveness in addressing a variety of skin issues.

Light therapy is an advanced technology that uses specific wavelengths of light such as blue and red that penetrate the skin at different depths.


Blue LED light reduces activity in the sebaceous glands, which are small oil-producing glands in the skin. The reduction causes the glands to produce less oil which helps in improving acne symptoms. They also display antibacterial properties.

Collagen is a protein in the skin that plays a role in skin healing. As a person ages, the body produces very little collagen which causes the skin to show signs of ageing. It is also used for skin rejuvenation.
