Photo facial treatments,How To Get Flawless Skin With An At Home Photo Facial Articles also known as photo rejuvenation, light therapy for skin, and LED light therapy, have become very popular and for good reason.  There is plenty of research showing that red and infrared lights have significant anti-aging benefits while blue lights are beneficial for treating acne.  LEDs (light emitting diodes) were originally developed for NASA space shuttle plant growth experiments and were then found to be helpful in speeding up healing in outer space.  This is the same technology that has now been proven to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet as well as an array of other benefits to the skin.

Benefits of red and infrared photo facials

It has been shown that red and infrared LED lights are able to effectively penetrate deep within the layers of the skin stimulating collagen production, increasing the energy inside the cells, and delivering powerful therapeutic benefits to living tissue.  Treatments are progressive so as you continue to use LEDs your skin will continue to get better and better.  A small sampling of the anti-aging benefits includes:

  • Minimized fine lines and wrinkles
  • Reduced crow’s feet
  • Reduced pore size
  • Improved skin tone
  • Rejuvenated sun damaged skin
  • Smoothed skin texture
  • Reduced redness
  • All natural
  • Non-invasive
  • Non-ablative
  • And more

Benefits of blue light therapy

One of the causes of acne is when there is a surplus of sebum.  When there is too much sebum, the p. acne bacteria (which feeds on the sebum) prospers and then leads to acne.  Blue light in a range of 405-420nm actually kills the p. acne bacteria that causes acne.  The bacteria absorbs the blue light and the light then kills the damaging bacteria, heals the acne, and prevents future breakouts.  Blue light therapy benefits include: 

  • Healed acne
  • Acne bacteria is demolished
  • Natural
  • Non-invasive
  • Non-ablative

Because light therapy is so effective, has so many benefits, and can be used for all skin types there are now many devices available for home use.  They range in price from $200-$400 and vary in size and strength giving you the opportunity to find one that fits your budget as well as your skin needs.

It’s then as simple as following the directions for the individual device.  Some require 3-5 minutes per area of your face while others are hands free and allow you to simply relax in front of the LED lights.  Whichever system you choose you will reap the reward of your photo facial and enjoy the great changes in your skin.
