WHAT IS IT?
Just like plants, our skin and other body tissues have the ability to absorb light and convert it into energy. LightStim LED light therapy delivers light energy in a similar way plants absorb light energy from the sun. It emits painless, UV-free, therapeutic light energy to the skin.
Lightstim is the only US manufacturer of LED equipment and has been leading the way in light therapy since 2001. The professional panel utilizes 1,400 of the most carefully designed LED’s on the market. Taylor Paige was the FIRST LightStim LED specialist in Santa Barbara, and we are proud to included it in all of our signature treatments!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. Diodes are semiconductors that convert electrical energy into light energy. This light energy is then absorbed light light-absorbing molecules in the body called chromophores.
LED therapy utilizes different wavelengths, or colors, of light in order to trigger a variety of natural intracellular reactions in the skin. When this beneficial light is applied directly to the skin it can reduce fine lines and wrinkles, temporarily increase blood circulation, treat mild to moderate acne, and much more!
There are different colors of LED light available. Each offers a unique benefit for the skin. Here’s a breakdown of how each works:
Blue light: kills acne bacteria and treats breakouts
Red light: reduces inflammation, promotes healing and stimulates collagen synthesis, promotes an even skin tone
Infrared light: similar to red light, but is invisible to the human eye and penetrates deeper into the dermis
Amber light: builds new collagen and elastin
WHO IS IT FOR?
LED therapy is beneficial for ALL skin types and is safe enough for daily use. Unless interested in purchasing LED therapy packages, there are no contraindications to be aware of.
