How LED Light Therapy Works for Skin Care​

LED light therapy devices use specific wavelengths to target various skin concerns:

• Blue light (415nm): Penetrates epidermis to kill acne-causing bacteria

• Red light (630-650nm): Reduces inflammation and stimulates collagen

• Near-infrared (800-1200nm): Reaches deeper tissue for skin rejuvenation

Professional vs. At-Home Treatments:
Dermatologist office treatments use stronger devices with longer sessions, while home devices (typically 10 minutes, several times weekly) can maintain results between professional visits.

Important Safety Considerations:

• Blue light may cause hyperpigmentation

• Avoid if you have lupus, melasma, or light-sensitive medications

• Always consult a dermatologist before use, especially for darker skin tones

• Red light is safe, unlike UV tanning beds

Selection Criteria for Quality Devices:

1. FDA-cleared technology with proper documentation

2. Effective wavelengths (red ≥630nm, NIR ≥830nm, blue 415nm)

3. Appropriate irradiance levels (masks ≥30-50 mW/cm²)

4. Reputable manufacturers with good customer support

5. User-friendly design and comfortable fit
