What colour LED do I need?
RED Light Therapy: For calming and plumping
(Wavelength between 620nm to 750nm)
Used for its anti-aging benefits because of its ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Also believed to reduce cytokines, which cause inflammation.
At the lighter end of the spectrum, red light works to soothe inflammation and redness, while deeper shades penetrate the skin further to prompt cellular repair and circulation, resulting in a plumper, more vibrant complexion.
BLUE Light Therapy: For acne and breakouts
(Wavelength between 405nm to 420nm)
Used for its antibacterial benefits and therefore used in acne treatment. This specific wavelength stimulates the production of oxygen radicals that kill P. Acnes bacteria (the acne-causing bacteria), without damaging the skin.
Blue light is used to kill the bacteria that leads to breakouts, making it ideal for treating acne-prone skin. Blue light also helps purify the pores and regulate oil glands. Commonly combined with red light.
AMBER Light Therapy: For cell generation & skin irritation
(Wavelength of between 590nm to 620nm)
Used to flush waste from the skin, boost lymphatic flow and increase cellular growth, aiding in cell-turnover, or production of new skin cells.
Amber/Yellow light is known to have a shallow penetration level, making it perfect for several skin issues. With the stimulation of red blood cell creation, these red blood cells eventually help to improve the rejuvenation of skin cells and speed up healing for wounds and other scars, reducing any swelling and increasing radiance.
Infrared Light Therapy: For a collagen and elastin boost
Invisible to the naked eye, this light penetrates deeper than any other colour in the spectrum. It combats the signs of ageing by replenishing dermal and epidermal cells, stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin, and speeds up the recovery process.
