In recent years, LED light therapy has become one of the most sought-after skincare treatments – and for good reason. It’s gentle, non-invasive, and deeply effective at supporting overall skin health. Whether you’re addressing breakouts, dullness, fine lines, or simply want to boost your post-facial glow, LED therapy can be a powerful addition to your skincare routine.
At Spa 901, we offer LED light therapy as an add-on treatment, giving clients the opportunity to enhance their Dermalogica facial with targeted light technology. But how does it actually work, and how do you know if it’s right for your skin?
How LED Works
LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, and in skincare, it’s used to deliver specific wavelengths of light energy to the skin. These wavelengths penetrate at different depths, triggering natural cellular processes that help the skin repair and rejuvenate itself. Unlike UV light, LED doesn’t cause damage or heat – it simply energizes your skin cells in a way that promotes healing and balance.
Each colour of light has its own purpose. Red light helps stimulate collagen and elastin production, which can soften fine lines and support firmness. Blue light helps target acne-causing bacteria and reduces inflammation, making it ideal for blemish-prone skin. Some devices combine multiple wavelengths, offering a customized approach to address several concerns at once.
What to Expect During Your LED Add-On
Adding LED therapy to your treatment is seamless and deeply relaxing. Once your skin has been cleansed and prepped – a light energy mask will be applied to the skin, then the LED device is placed over your face. The light feels warm but never hot, and most clients find the experience calming and meditative.
While you rest beneath the gentle glow, the light is quietly doing its work – stimulating cellular renewal, calming redness, and encouraging healthy circulation. The session usually lasts approximately 10 minutes, depending on your skin’s needs and your treatment plan. It’s the perfect way to extend your spa time while giving your skin a visible boost.
The Benefits
LED light therapy can improve skin tone and texture, minimize fine lines, calm breakouts, and reduce redness. It’s suitable for nearly all skin types, including sensitive skin, and because it’s non-invasive, there’s no downtime – just brighter, smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Regular use enhances results over time, but even a single session can leave your complexion looking more radiant and refreshed.
Is LED Right for You?
LED light therapy is one of the most versatile treatments in skincare. If you’re new to facials, it’s an excellent introduction to advanced skincare technology without any discomfort or recovery time. For those already following a skincare regimen, it’s a simple and effective way to amplify your results.
