Is LED Light Therapy Safe?
19 February 2019 by Omniya ClinicA Guide to LED Light Therapy and Its Uses
LED light therapy and HydraFacial are two of the most effective non-invasive skincare treatments available today. Both treatments target a range of skin concerns, including acne, pigmentation, and fine lines, while promoting skin rejuvenation and overall health. Combining these advanced technologies can maximise results, making them a popular choice for anyone seeking clearer, healthier, and more radiant skin.
Introduction to LED Light Therapy
LED light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to address various skin concerns. Whether you’re managing acne, fine lines, or uneven skin tone, LED therapy stimulates the skin’s natural repair processes, promoting collagen production, improving elasticity, and enhancing overall skin health.
What makes this treatment stand out is its gentle nature—no needles, no discomfort, and no downtime. With a soothing and meditative experience, LED therapy is suitable for all skin types, offering a safe and effective solution for many skin concerns.
How Does LED Light Therapy Work?
LED therapy utilises different wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and trigger specific biological processes:
- Blue Light: Targets acne by killing bacteria on the skin’s surface and preventing breakouts.
- Red Light: Reduces fine lines and wrinkles while boosting collagen production and improving elasticity.
- Green Light: Fades pigmentation and scars, leaving the skin brighter and more even-toned.

What Does LED Light Therapy Feel Like?
Imagine lying back under a gentle, warm light that soothes and calms your skin. That’s the experience of LED light therapy—it’s completely painless and often described as relaxing. Many clients look forward to their sessions as a moment of tranquillity amidst their busy lives.
How Long Before I See Results?
LED therapy and HydraFacial can deliver immediate benefits, but long-lasting results typically require multiple sessions. Here’s what to expect:
- Acne: Visible improvements after 4-6 sessions.
- Scars and Pigmentation: Noticeable changes after 6-8 sessions.
- Anti-Ageing: Significant results achieved after 8-10 sessions.
Treatments are spaced a week apart to allow your skin to regenerate effectively. For a customised treatment plan, book a consultation through our LED light therapy page.
