How it works

 

In the same way that plants use chlorophyll to convert sunlight into energy, light therapy emits specific, proven wavelengths of light that can trigger a natural biostimulatory effect in human tissue.

 

Research indicates that cells absorb particles of light (photons) and transform their energy into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the form of energy that cells utilize. The resulting elevation of ATP is then used to power metabolic processes; synthesize DNA, RNA, proteins, enzymes, and other products needed to repair or regenerate cell components; foster mitosis or cell proliferation; and restore homeostasis.

 

Simply put, the LED phototherapy source provides compromised cells with added energy so the cells performance is enhanced. For example, fibroblast cells will increase collagen and elastin production in connective tissue to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in our skin and increase the rate of wound healing.​​

The benefits:

 

Research has shown that light therapy can: 

• Increase circulation

• Accelerate tissue repair

• Kill acne bacteria

• Decrease inflammation

• Improve acne prone skin, skin tone, texture and
  clarity

• Decrease under eye wrinkles

• Ease muscle and joint pain, stiffness, spasm,
  and pain associated with arthritis.

• Blue light therapy effectively treats bacterial acne.

• Red light therapy improves wrinkles, increases collagen production and helps treat
  rosacea.

• Near-infrared light therapy reduces pain.

​​

LED light therapy treatments are non-invasive, painless, require no recovery time, and can be used safely on all skin types.

How often can I have light therapy facials? 

 

For best results we recommend a course of 10 Light Therapy Facials, ideally 2 per week for 5 weeks. Course discounts are available.

 

You can add a 30 minute light therapy session onto almost any facial at Georgina Beauty Rooms.
