LED (light-emitting diode) light therapy uses specific wavelengths of visible light to trigger natural cellular processes in the skin — a technique known as photobiomodulation. Different wavelengths target different concerns: blue light works primarily through antibacterial effects to calm acne and support barrier repair, red light penetrates more deeply to promote collagen synthesis, scar healing, and overall skin rejuvenation, and yellow light has been shown to help reduce photoaging and uneven pigmentation. Clinical research has found LED therapy statistically effective for acne vulgaris, with additional evidence supporting its use for herpes simplex, psoriasis, and general skin rejuvenation.
Best for: Acne-prone or inflamed skin, fine lines and early photoaging, uneven tone, post-procedure redness and healing support, and general skin revitalization.
What to expect: A relaxing, completely non-invasive session with no pain and no downtime — many clients use it as a standalone treatment or layer it onto other services (like microneedling or paramedical tattoo aftercare) to support faster, calmer healing.
LED therapy is considered very safe with minimal risk of irritation, though as with any light-based treatment, we’ll review your health history and any photosensitizing medications during consultation.
LED Light Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to support your skin's natural function. In my practice, LED is one of the most flexible tools I use - it's calming enough to book on its own, and it pairs beautifully with the more active treatments in a broader plan.
Specific wavelengths of light penetrate the skin at controlled depths to support the skin's own function. Different wavelengths address different concerns, and the protocol is chosen based on your skin condition and goal.
A session is calming, non-invasive, and typically painless. You'll be positioned comfortably under the LED panel for the session, with your eyes protected. There's no downtime and you can return to your normal activities immediately afterward.
LED is one of the gentler treatments I offer and most healthy adults are candidates. Certain medications and conditions (including some seizure disorders and light-sensitivity conditions) may make LED inappropriate. I review your medical history in consultation.
LED can be booked as a single session, a short series for a specific concern, or as ongoing supportive care. Many clients incorporate LED into a broader plan alongside microneedling or paramedical work.

Every client's skin, concerns, and goals are different. A personalized consultation is the best place to determine whether this treatment is right for you.
