Photo Rejuvenation
Photo Rejuvenation or LED (Light Emitting Diode) light therapy is the use of light to create an anti-aging effect on the skin. It is non-invasive, and a safe way to help the skin become more radiant without heating or wounding.
Research for LED light therapy originated with NASA for the U.S. space program. Similarities were observed between plants that use sunlight to make chlorophyll and convert it to cellular building blocks, and human skin cells, which are actually photoreceptive. Red light stimulates fibroblastic activity and this aids in the repair process causing an increase in collagen and elastin, which diminish as we age. LED light delivers powerful therapeutic benefits to living tissue. Because of the high blood and water content in the skin layers, it absorbs LED light very readily, stimulating the body to heal itself. This process is known as photo-modulation.
LED therapy is becoming a reliable treatment for a wide variety of ailments both mental and physical including depression (seasonal affective disorder) to achieve a better mood, pain management, wound healing and in beauty and facial treatments for skin rejuvenation, acne and other skin conditions. Colors of light each have a different waveband therefore each color has a special effect on the body.
