LED - Low Level Light Therapy
LED & Light Therapy has been a bit of a buzz word in the Beauty & Skincare world lately, understandably so!
Celluma is the LED machine we have in studio, it uses light energy to improve cellular health by accelerating the repair + replenishment of affected cells to naturally restore vitality. In the same way plants convert light into energy, LED uses specific wavelengths of light to trigger a natural repair + restore effect on the tissue.
The benefits include:
*Rejuvenating aging skin
*Killing acne causing bacteria
*Alleviating aches and pain
*Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
*Improving skin texture
There are three different settings that target different levels of the skin:
Red light - reaches into the layer of the skin that houses the connective tissue and enhances collagen + elastin production. We naturally lose Collagen + Elastin as we age, stimulating these fibers will help build stimulate production or boost the reserve you have.
Blue light - penetrates and kills bacteria that causes acne.
Near Infra Red - penetrates the deepest layer, increases tissue repair and decreases inflammation which is how we treat the pain.
LED can be incorporated to any massage or acupuncture treatment, the Infrared light works really well over joints - wrists, ankles and knees to help treat pain or inflammation. The use of LED in Cosmetic Acupuncture treatments enhances the effects of the treatment, stimulating collagen and helping balance redness in the skin.
Light therapy is contraindicated if you have Epilepsy, seizures, cancer or if you are on any steroidal medication or medication that causes photosensitivity.
