![]() What is an LED or PhotoFacial? LED therapy is a skin care treatment that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) of various colors, normally red, blue, and infrared, to maintain healthy skin. LEDs produce a low-powered glowing light, which is positioned to shine onto the face or other area being treated. No heat is produced by the LEDs, and it should not be confused with laser therapy. The skin benefits of different colors of LED light have been identified through a broad array of studies. The most often cited study is the Whelan study, published in 2001 by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, which found that LED light helped speed up wound healing.
What Can I Expect? No special preparation is necessary. Simply arrive to your appointment on time, relax, and enjoy the treatment. After cleansing your skin I may also apply a serum or other facial products to enhance the benefits of your session, depending on your goals and the range of treatments offered. The LED device will be positioned on your skin, or up to a few inches away. Your eyes will be covered so that the light does not bother you. Relax and rest while the glow of the LEDs bathes your skin. Typically, no sensation is felt. Some people may feel a slight tingling, or see flashes in their vision temporarily as a result of having a light source close to their face. Keeping your eyes closed and covered during the treatment will help.

This seems like something I would be interested in, but I'm not sure what type of light I would need, as I have different types of concerns. Is this something we could determine together?
