DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN NATURALLY REDUCE SIGNS OF AGING AND TREAT ACNE THROUGH THE POWER OF LIGHT?
In my formative years in Germany and later as a resident of bustling New York City, I embarked on a luminous journey - quite literally. Entrusting my facial skin concerns to the capable hands of dermatologists, I underwent LED treatment. The first encounter unfolded within the clinical confines of a medical facility, while the second occasion indulged in the luxurious ambiance of a medical spa. To my delight, each session yielded tangible results, visibly diminishing my skin woes.
UNRAVELING THE STORY BEHIND LED's RISE IN SKINCARE
LED light for facials originated from NASA's research in the 1980s. They developed low-level light therapy (LLLT) to aid wound healing and tissue regeneration in space. Over time, this technology transitioned to skincare, harnessing specific wavelengths of light to target various skin concerns like acne, aging, and inflammation.
This clinically validated technique is gaining increasing recognition in mainstream medicine, with dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons, and pain professionals using it as a non-invasive therapeutic modality for skin and wound healing and pain relief.
DEMYSTIFYING THE MAGIC OF LED LIGHT THERAPY
It utilizes specific wavelengths of light energy to stimulate therapeutic benefits for various conditions in the skin or tissue.
High-intensity light-emitting diodes (LEDs) harness particular wavelengths of light to induce a natural bio-stimulatory effect in human tissue, similar to how plants use chlorophyll to convert sunlight into energy. LED phototherapy has been shown to enhance circulation, expedite tissue repair, reduce acne bacteria, alleviate inflammation, improve skin tone, texture, and clarity, minimize under-eye wrinkles, and relieve muscle and joint pain, stiffness, spasms, and arthritis-related pain.
Studies have shown that cells absorb photons of light, which are transformed into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy form utilized by cells. The resulting ATP elevation powers various metabolic processes, such as synthesizing DNA, RNA, proteins, enzymes, and other products necessary for repairing or regenerating cell components, promoting mitosis or cell proliferation, and restoring homeostasis. Simply put, the LED phototherapy source augments the energy of compromised cells, enhancing their performance.
For instance, fibroblast cells, which contribute to connective tissue formation, increase collagen and elastin production in connective tissue, improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and accelerating wound healing.
IS THERE DOWNTIME? DOES IT STING?
LED light therapy sessions are painless, non-invasive, and entail no downtime, making them safe for all skin types. The therapy is quite soothing. Research has also shown that red light therapy can enhance sleep quality.
SHEDDING LIGHT ON YOUR CHOICE: FINDING THE PERFECT LED DEVICE FOR YOUR NEEDS
With the abundance of LED devices available on the market, it can be challenging to determine which ones will produce the desired results and give you radiant skin.
Here is what you want to look for according to rigorous clinical literature:
The optimal options are devices that have received FDA clearance and emit polychromatic light, simultaneously providing blue (405 nm to 470 nm), red (630 nm to 700 nm), and near-infrared (880nm) light energy to safely treat the skin.
We recognize that it would be easier to just look at a table of energy measurements to decide which device is “more powerful”, but that would be ignoring the science of phototherapy and what it teaches us. More powerful is not necessarily better, and to deliver the therapeutic benefits of phototherapy, LED devices need to practice the science, not just mimic the technical performance.
WHICH DEVICE DO YOU GET TO EXPERIENCE AT SKIN FIT ROX?
We believe Celluma targets all the mentioned criteria. It emits between 3 – 10 J/cm sq., depending on which program is running at any given time. Unlike other less sophisticated devices, the Celluma is always emitting three wavelengths which are modulated as well as pulsed and controlled by proprietary algorithms.
Celluma is the most medically credentialed LED device on the market and was the first of its kind to receive CE Mark as a Class IIa Medical Device for Dermal Wound Healing by the European Medical Device Authorities. To gain these clearances and certifications, the manufacturer had to provide clinical and technical data to the FDA and to the European authorities to prove that the device does everything it claims.
RECOMMENDED TREATMENT GUIDELINES
LED LIGHTS: ANY RED FLAGS?
LED therapy is clinically proven to be safe, and has achieved “no significant risk status” for human trials by the FDA. Contraindications for using Low Level Light Therapy are few and most clients can safely enjoy the benefits.
It should not be used:
Over the breast or stomach of a breastfeeding or pregnant person.
Persons with epilepsy or seizure disorder.
Over known cancer tumors or metastasis.
If taking steroidal medications.
On infants or children.
Clients frequently express interest in obtaining their own LED device for home use after undergoing a few sessions with a service, given the many benefits and frequency of use. If you are interested in this option, simply inform us, and we will assist you in selecting the most suitable LED panel for your requirements.
