Radiance LED Blue and Red Light Therapy
Treat a Range of Conditions in Madison, WI
LED light therapy is an in-office treatment that employs narrow band light emitting diode (LED) technology. Available in blue and red light therapy, Madison’s Radiance Skin Therapy offers this completely noninvasive, non-ablative treatment, which is both safe and painless. LED lights are FDA approved and designed to treat a wide variety of conditions, including acne, photo damage, inflamed skin, and rosacea.
Red light therapy helps to calm inflammation and induce collagen production in the skin for increased support, thickness, and other benefits. We also offer blue light therapy, which tackles acne-causing bacteria and reduces breakouts of pimples. Another option we offer is to combine both blue and red light therapy for optimal results. A series of six to eight blue and red light therapy sessions once or twice per week is normally suggested for achieving clear, healthy skin. LED blue and red light therapy can also be added to an exfoliation treatment or performed as a single treatment to rejuvenate the skin and/or control breakouts. The right blue and red light therapy treatment strategy depends on the patient.
What Are Blue and Red Light Therapy?
Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy treatments involve the application of specific wavelengths of red light, which penetrate millimeters into the skin and are absorbed by cells in that area. The influx of energy pushes the cells into producing various beneficial molecules: collagen for pliability and structure, elastin for resilience, and more. Treatments can also improve circulation, allowing blood to deliver more oxygen
where needed.
While there are many cosmetic devices that make use of “red light,” even for at-home use, note that only specific wavelengths of red light have a healing benefit. It’s best to choose a provider who works with the latest, well-researched, and approved technology.
Blue Light Therapy
Like red light therapy, blue light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light—just of a different color. Unlike red light therapy, blue light therapy can also be used to activate special compounds, applied directly to the skin, that is especially effective at killing the bacteria that cause acne breakouts.
Blue light therapy may be applied on its own, or it may be combined with red light therapy. Your personal blue or red light therapy plan will depend on what condition or conditions are being addressed and other factors.
