LED Light Therapy
This gentle, light-based treatment can rejuvenate and treat the skin with minimal downtime, and there's no risk of harming or damaging the skin through treatment.
What Is LED Light Therapy?
LED light therapy is a skin treatment that uses a combination of red, blue, and infrared light to heal and rejuvenate the skin. LED light therapy is different from most laser treatments in that is a much gentler procedure. Laser treatment are designed to exfoliate and penetrate the skin, while LED light therapy simply heats the skin with precise wavelengths of light to trigger healing benefits.
The LED light system produces no UV rays, so there is no risk of harming or damaging the skin through treatment. The diverse wavelengths of light produced can help with many conditions and symptoms, including:
- Acne
- Stretch marks
- Wrinkles and lines
LED Light Therapy FAQs
The cost of your LED light therapy will vary depending on the extent of treatment necessary. At Goodman Dermatology, we understand that each patient is unique and deserves a personalized treatment plan. We can provide a more accurate cost for treatment after we assess your treatment goals and develop your treatment plan. During your consultation, we will discuss your needs and come up with an exact cost. To make our treatments more affordable for our patients, we are proud to offer financing options through CareCredit.
LED light therapy treatment is safe and comfortable, and requires no anesthetic. Before the treatment, we will provide you with protective eyewear, as the LED lights get very bright and can be damaging to the eyes. Once situated, we will position the LED device above the skin and begin delivering the appropriate wavelengths of light to the desired treatment area. The lights will not get hot, only warm, so you can expect to remain comfortable for the duration of the 30 minute treatment.
After your LED light therapy treatment, you may notice some minor redness or sensitivity in the skin. These symptoms are common, and will typically fade within a few hours of treatment.
There is no downtime necessary after LED light therapy. In fact, you will be able to return to all usual activities immediately following your appointment.
The results from the LED light therapy treatment will develop gradually in the weeks and months following your treatment session. For best results, we often recommend several treatment sessions performed over the course of a few weeks. The number of treatments will vary based on your skin type, cosmetic concerns, and desired results. During your consultation, we will discuss these factors so that you know what to expect during and after your treatment.
