When one thinks of skin rejuvenation or therapies, the mind usually conjures up thoughts of retinol, sunscreen and serums. But thanks to gadgetry involved in beauty treatments, everyday routines are expanding and now include high-tech treatments. For instance, light therapy currently is in vogue for being the most sought after therapy to treat a host of skin related issues.<\/p>\n

In case you have visited a spa or a beauty store recently, chances are that you would have seen devices\/masks that are available for over-the-counter purchase, and other such products flooding the markets. These light-therapy masks are also slowly gaining popularity among beauty influencers on Instagram as well.<\/p>\n

In case you are contemplating taking the plunge, here are a few things you need to know about light therapy for your skin\u2026<\/p>\n

What is light therapy? <\/strong><\/p>\n

In the simplest terms, light therapy is the application of specific wavelengths of light to the skin to get therapeutic benefits. It is a non-invasive treatment<\/a> which makes use of non-thermal LED light to trigger the skin\u2019s natural processes to accelerate the skin\u2019s repair and rejuvenation. Light therapy is recommended by dermatologists to treat a number of skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, wrinkles, dermatitis and other skin related issues. Light therapy is also used to treat wounds and scarring of tissue and for anyone who is also looking to restore their skin\u2019s radiance.<\/p>\n

Light therapy is also sometimes referred to as photobiostimulation, photobiomodulation or photomedicine\u2014all terms which are used to describe the delivery of light energy to treat a number of medical and cosmetic conditions.<\/p>\n

How does light therapy work? <\/strong><\/p>\n

With LED light therapy, which is a \u2018low energy form\u2019, the light is absorbed by the molecules in the skin, which in turn alters the biological activity of the cells. Research has shown that LED light therapy can increase circulation, accelerate the repair of skin tissue, improve skin tone and texture.<\/p>\n

Over time, the skin cells get weakened due to ageing process, skin disorders or other trauma to the skin such as excessive exposure to the sun or scarring. LED light sources offer such weakened cells with that extra dose of energy to enhance their rejuvenation process.<\/p>\n

The kind of lights and what they do\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

A study by the American Academy of Dermatology says that people suffering from acne will see a visible improvement in their symptoms through LED light therapy[1]<\/a>. The skin uses light from the therapy as a source of energy to fuel the healing process of damaged cells. The energy simulates the production of collagen, boosts circulation and furthers tissue repair. While these are the combined benefits of LED therapy, each kind of light is known to provide different benefits.<\/p>\n
