LED Therapy

Overview

LED therapy irradiates specific wavelengths of LED light onto the skin to stimulate cellular activity: red light (630-660nm) for collagen promotion and wound healing, blue light (415nm) for killing acne bacteria (C. acnes), and near-infrared (830nm) for deep tissue regeneration and anti-inflammation. As a painless, no-downtime treatment, it is widely used as a standalone therapy or post-procedure recovery aid.

Mechanism

LED photons are absorbed by chromophores within skin cells, particularly cytochrome c oxidase in mitochondria. This stimulates the electron transport chain, increasing ATP production and cellular metabolism. Red light activates fibroblasts for collagen synthesis; blue light generates reactive oxygen species that destroy C. acnes bacteria; near-infrared penetrates deeper to reduce inflammatory mediators and promote tissue repair.

Effects

Collagen stimulation and skin rejuvenation (red), acne bacteria reduction (blue), anti-inflammation and deep tissue healing (near-infrared), accelerated post-procedure recovery, and enhanced overall skin health.

Duration

8-12 sessions at 1-2 per week for initial course; ongoing maintenance 1-2 times per month; results are cumulative

Recovery

Absolutely no downtime. No pain, redness, or peeling. Can be performed immediately after other procedures to aid healing. Normal activities and makeup can continue without interruption.

Side Effects

Virtually no side effects. Non-thermal and non-invasive. Very rarely, mild warmth sensation. Not recommended for those with photosensitivity disorders or those taking photosensitizing medications. Eye protection should be worn during treatment.

Price Range

20,000-80,000 KRW per session

Target Audience

Those seeking gentle skin rejuvenation, post-procedure recovery support, acne management, anti-aging maintenance, and those wanting a completely painless, no-downtime treatment option.
