Narrow-band visible and near-infrared light, used on the skin at wavelengths chosen for what you came in for. No ultraviolet, nothing ablative, and you can go straight back to your day.
Select any therapeutic wavelength to see how specific light frequencies penetrate skin layers. Which one is used depends on what you came in for.
Collagen & Elastin Synthesis, Tissue Repair, Fine Line Softening
Photons at 630–830nm penetrate into the deep dermis where they are absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase within cell mitochondria. Absorption is thought to raise cellular ATP production, support fibroblasts in laying down new collagen and elastin, and moderate the enzymes that break collagen down.
Pairs exceptionally with PRF Microneedling and Radiofrequency Tightening to accelerate collagen remodeling.
Photobiomodulation (PBM) is not a surface heating treatment—it is a photochemical reaction occurring deep within living cells, similar to photosynthesis in plants.
Specific light wavelengths pass through the stratum corneum and are captured by photo-acceptor chromophores inside cell mitochondria. The photo-acceptor understood to do most of this work iscytochrome c oxidase, an enzyme in the electron transport chain.
The proposed mechanism is that absorbed light increases mitochondrial production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the fuel cells use to repair damage, divide and build structural proteins, and that nitric oxide release improves local blood flow. How much of an increase, and in whom, is not settled — so no figure is quoted here.
Over the following weeks the skin is thought to lay down new collagen and elastin, and to moderate the enzymes that break collagen down. Changes of this kind appear gradually rather than after a single session.
Compare nanometer frequencies, tissue penetration depths, and therapeutic targets across the entire spectrum.
| Spectrum Color | Wavelength (nm) | Penetration Depth | Primary Target Organelle | Key Clinical Indication |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red & Near-Infrared | 630nm – 830nm | Deep Dermis & Subcutaneous (8–10mm) | Fibroblast Mitochondria (ATP) | Collagen synthesis, fine lines, rapid tissue healing |
| Blue Light | 415nm | Epidermis & Follicles (1–2mm) | Coproporphyrin III in P. Acnes | Destroys active acne bacteria, balances sebum |
| Green Light | 525nm | Dermal-Epidermal Junction (2–3mm) | Basal Layer Melanocytes | Hyperpigmentation, sun spots, evening skin tone |
| Amber Yellow Light | 590nm | Upper Dermis (2–4mm) | Capillary Endothelium & Lymphatics | Flushes swelling, calms rosacea & post-procedure redness |
| Dual-Band Purple | 415nm + 630nm | Surface to Deep Dermis | P. Acnes + Fibroblast Mitochondria | Adult acne, blemish clearing with concurrent anti-aging |
| Cyan Light | 490nm | Papillary Dermis (2mm) | Membrane Receptors & Capillaries | De-stresses irritated, chapped, or weather-sensitized skin |
| Full-Spectrum White | 400nm – 850nm | Omnidirectional Multi-Depth | Global Cellular Chromophores | Total skin revitalization, tightening, nutrient uptake |
While powerful as a standalone rejuvenation session, LED Light Therapy multiplies the clinical outcomes of other aesthetic modalities when added directly post-treatment.
Micro-channels created during PRF microneedling allow red light photons to penetrate even deeper. The surge in cellular ATP enables fibroblasts to process PRF growth factors at maximum velocity, reducing downtime from 48 hours to less than a single day.
Following a Floraessence Lactic or Salicylic Peel, amber yellow and cyan LED therapy instantly quenches chemical heat, down-regulates histamine release, and prevents post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
Paired with an Express or Intensive Skin Clearing Facial, blue 415nm light provides immediate deep-pore sterilization following extractions, preventing bacteria from recolonizing freshly cleared pores.
Everything you need to know about safety, wavelengths, session length, and results.
LED Light Therapy operates through photobiomodulation (PBM). Specific wavelengths of light (measured in nanometers) penetrate the epidermis and dermis, where they are absorbed by chromophores—specifically cytochrome c oxidase within cell mitochondria. Absorption is thought to raise cellular ATP production, support fibroblast activity, improve local circulation and moderate inflammation. That is the proposed mechanism rather than a measured outcome, and it is why results are described here in terms of what the light does rather than what it guarantees.
No. Clinical LED light therapy utilizes narrow-band visible and near-infrared light spectrums (ranging from 415nm to 830nm) that contain no ultraviolet (UVA/UVB) light. It is non-thermal and non-ablative — nothing is burned, removed or broken — and it is used across skin types. Whether it suits you is confirmed at your appointment.
When combined with regenerative procedures like PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) or microneedling, LED therapy acts as a biological recovery accelerator. Red and amber wavelengths stimulate cellular ATP, reduce acute swelling (edema), calm surface redness (erythema), and and is often added after a procedure for that reason. How much difference it makes to recovery varies from person to person, so no figure is quoted.
For acute post-procedure recovery and instant radiance, a single 30-minute session provides visible calming and glow. For ongoing concerns it is usually recommended as a course rather than a single visit, and how many sessions is decided with you at your appointment.
Your session begins with a gentle botanical cleanse to ensure optimal photon penetration. Protective blackout eye shields are placed over your eyes, and the calibrated LED phototherapy panel is positioned inches above your skin. Most people describe it as a gentle warmth, and the panel does not touch the skin. The session concludes with barrier-repair finishing serums and clean mineral SPF.
Yes. Amber yellow (590nm) and cyan (490nm) wavelengths are specifically indicated for reactive, vascular, and rosacea-prone skin. They strengthen fragile capillary walls, stimulate lymphatic drainage, and dramatically reduce facial redness without irritating the lipid moisture barrier.
Available as a standalone 30-minute relaxation session ($40) or as a rapid-healing add-on to your facial, peel, or PRF treatment.
