LED skin treatment: will it take years off your face?

If you want to give your skin an anti aging boost you definitely should consider an LED skin treatment.

You may wonder what to expect, how LED light therapy compares with other forms of skin rejuvenation and – most importantly – will it actually work?

Light has long been know to have health and anti aging benefits – LED skin treatment harnesses the power of light to reduce or even eliminate some of the worst aspects of skin aging.

We all know about lasers in anti aging treatments – mainly for skin resurfacing. But there are harmful side effects and downtime which are also well known. Lasers have high power density and focused energy – that means they generate a great deal of heat which is definitely not good for skin and skin damage can be the result.

Red LED – Light Emitting Diodes – produce the same light frequencies as lasers but without the intense heat and tissue damage. LEDs produce a diffuse and even light that penetrates more deeply than laser light and is easily applied over the whole area of treatment.

For many people the results from LED skin treatment are immediate – fine lines, enlarged pores and broken capillaries are reduced, skin is smoother; pigmentation is more even, and skin is thicker and firmer.

If you choose your skin clinic carefully then they will be using a quality LED device with inherent safety built into the design. Excellent machines in wide use are Revitalight, Lumiphase and LumiLift – but there are many more. With a reputable skin clinic your LED skin treatments will be pain free – even relaxing and enjoyable – and there will be no recovery or downtime.

Recent research with cancer patients revealed the power of LED as a skin treatment. Researchers noticed that LED light therapy regenerated skin tissue, boosted collagen production and improved the appearance of the skin.

Skin clinics using similar LED skin treatments produced very positive results for rosacea, anti aging and sun damage.

Red LED skin treatment is the one to go for if you want to improve your rosacea, remove skin blemishes and sun damage and get younger skin. Blue light LED is used mainly to treat severe cases of acne.

The recommended frequency of red LED skin treatments is one 30 minute session every 7 to 10 days for 6 weeks. Maintenance treatments are recommended every 30-60 days.

The great thing about LED skin treatment compared to other methods of skin rejuvenation is that LED uses the body’s own natural processes to rejuvenate your skin. It is a totally natural form of non surgical face lift and is very appealing compared to facial surgery, laser resurfacing or other techniques which damage the skin and cause pain.

LED skin treatment is FDA approved, gentle, painless, safe and effective. Amazing though it may seem LED skin treatment is completely non invasive and non abrasive and yet the red light penetrates deeply into skin tissue.

Clinical results for red LED skin treatment have been excellent – subjects report: overall lifting and hydrating of skin, improvement in skin tone and texture, evening out of pigmentation, smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles and a feeling of well being and relaxation. There were no reported problems.

The costs are affordable too – especially compared to other skin rejuvenation techniques. One session of LED light therapy costs around $65 and if you have a full course of 6 treatments the total will come in under $400.

Don’t forget maintenance though – top up treatments are extra and you’re then looking at spending $65 or so for an LED skin treatment once every 4-6 weeks. In other words somewhere between $600-800 each year. It’s important to build this amount into your budget.

LED skin treatments are certainly one of the best value treatments for skin rejuvenation you can opt for at a skin clinic. From the comments I have looked at on review sites and forums – most people who go for them are glad they did and after a huge amount of time searching I have yet to find a seriously negative comment.

If you’re tempted by the benefits of LED skin treatments but hesitant about the cost – think about a home LED skin treatment device. The market for hand held LED skin treatment devices is quite new but there are some very impressive models already out.

Take a look at the review of Baby Quasar or compare the Baby Quasar and PerriconMD Light Renewal LED home skin treatment devices.

Whatever you choose to do – in my opinion – an LED skin treatment is a very effective anti aging choice and you are unlikely to waste your hard-earned money.
