What Is LED Light Therapy?

LED (Light Emitting Diode) Light Therapy, sometimes referred to as Red Light Therapy, uses specific wavelengths of medical-grade light to stimulate cellular activity within the skin and underlying tissue.

Each wavelength (or color) of light penetrates the skin at different depths, triggering unique biological responses — from collagen stimulation to inflammation reduction and bacterial control.

The treatment is:

  • Non-invasive
  • Completely painless
  • Safe for all skin types
  • Requires no downtime

 

LED therapy can be performed as a stand-alone treatment or incorporated into other aesthetic procedures to enhance results and accelerate recovery.

How LED Light Therapy Works

Light energy is absorbed by your cells, particularly within the mitochondria — the energy center of each cell. This process stimulates ATP (cellular energy) production, improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and supports collagen synthesis.

In simple terms:
We energize your cells so your skin can repair and rejuvenate itself more efficiently.

BENEFITS OF LED LIGHT THERAPY

  • Softening fine lines and wrinkles
  • Stimulating collagen for firmer, more toned skin
  • Calming redness and inflammation
  • Reducing acne-causing bacteria and minimizing breakouts
  • Promoting a brighter, more even skin tone
  • Enhancing post-procedure healing
  • Supporting local circulation and tissue repair
  • Producing a healthy, radiant glow

To ensure optimal results and minimize sensitivity:

  • Discontinue manual or physical exfoliation 3–5 days prior

  • Avoid products containing AHAs, BHAs, enzymes, micro-beads, or active exfoliants

  • Pause retinol or retinoids 7–14 days before treatment (depending on skin condition)

  • If experiencing active peeling, flaking, redness, or irritation, discontinue retinol for at least 14 days

  • Avoid sun exposure 5–7 days prior

Your provider will review your skincare routine during consultation to ensure your skin is appropriately prepared.

Yes. LED Light Therapy is often used alongside treatments such as facials, microneedling, injectables, laser procedures, and chemical peels. Because it reduces inflammation and supports cellular repair, it can enhance results and promote faster recovery.

At Project Glammers, we frequently incorporate LED as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to optimize both immediate and long-term outcomes.
