Radiant Skin:

The Power of LED Light Therapy in Oakland


Have you heard of LED Light Therapy? Originally developed by NASA for wound healing, this technology offers a transformative solution for rejuvenating your skin and unveiling a radiant complexion. Whether you're struggling with acne breakouts or seeking to diminish the signs of aging, LED therapy offers a non-invasive solution to address a variety of skin concerns. 

At LV Aesthetic, we are excited to bring professional-grade LED therapy to our Oakland clients. Backed by thousands of clinical studies, our devices harness the power of specific wavelengths of blue, red, and near-infrared light energy. Experience the unparalleled power of light to stimulate collagen production, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, combat acne, and restore youthful elasticity to your complexion. 

What is LED Light Therapy?

LED light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation or low-level light therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive treatment method that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate various cellular processes in the body. LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, and these diodes emit specific colors of light that can penetrate the skin to different depths.

In the 1990s, NASA began studying LED’s effects in promoting wound healing in astronauts by helping cells and tissues grow.

Today, dermatologists and estheticians commonly use LED light therapy to treat a range of skin issues. Here's the science behind LED therapy works:

  • LED therapy devices emit specific wavelengths of light, typically in the visible and near-infrared spectrum. When these light waves come into contact with the skin, they are absorbed by cells within the tissue.

  • Once absorbed, the light energy interacts with mitochondria, which are the powerhouses of the cell responsible for producing energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This interaction triggers a cascade of biochemical reactions within the cell.

  • Enhanced production of collagen and elastin, proteins needed for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.

    Accelerated cell regeneration and repair, which can help heal wounds, reduce inflammation, and improve overall skin texture.

    Reduction of oxidative stress and inflammation, which are associated with various skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, and aging.

Benefits of LED Light Therapy 

LED therapy is considered non-invasive: it does not involve any penetration of the skin or the use of surgical procedures. This means no pain and no downtime, which makes it an incredibly versatile and popular treatment. Here are just some of the benefits and applications of LED light therapy:

  • Improves circulation: LED light therapy can enhance blood circulation in the treated area, which can help deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the cells while removing waste products more efficiently.

  • Stimulates cellular activity: Different colors of light penetrate the skin at different depths and are absorbed by the cells. This absorption can stimulate various cellular activities, such as increasing the production of ATP, which provides energy for cellular processes.

  • Reduces inflammation: Certain wavelengths of light, particularly red and near-infrared, have been shown to reduce inflammation in the body. This can be beneficial for conditions such as arthritis, muscle soreness, and skin inflammation.

  • Promotes collagen production: LED light therapy, especially when using red light, can stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins for maintaining the skin's elasticity and firmness. This can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improve overall skin texture.

  • Acne treatment: Blue light, in particular, has been shown to have antibacterial properties and can help kill the bacteria that cause acne. LED light therapy can thus be an effective treatment for acne, reducing both inflammation and the presence of acne-causing bacteria.

  • Wound healing: LED light therapy can promote faster healing of wounds, cuts, and other skin injuries by stimulating cellular repair processes.

  • Hair regrowth: LED is highly effective for thinning hair: it involves the use of specific wavelengths of light to stimulate hair follicles, promoting increased blood flow and cellular activity on the scalp. 

Professional-Grade LED Therapy vs. At-Home LED Machines

 you’ve been following LED therapy, you know that at-home options are widely available on the market. So, what is the difference between the devices you could buy for home use and the professional-grade devices at our studio?

Professional-grade LED therapy involves the use of high-quality, powerful equipment administered by trained aestheticians. With professional-grade therapy, we are able to customize the treatment parameters, including light intensity, wavelength, and duration, based on your skin type, problem areas, and desired outcomes. Compared to at-home LED treatments, professional-grade therapy offers more advanced features and customization options, which means more significant and noticeable results. 

If you are looking to address concerns such as acne, wrinkles, inflammation, and wound healing, you will find that the right professional LED therapy delivers results much faster than an at-home device would.
