LED Light Therapy in Westport
NASA and the Navy Seals have used LED light therapy for muscle regeneration and to speed up the healing of wounds. This technology is now being used as a painless, effective anti-aging treatment in skincare LED light therapy is simply the best thing that has happened in the beauty industry. It builds collagen, corrects surface damage like sun damage, destroy acne-causing bacteria wrinkles, and large pores.
Cells in the human body convert light into ATP, which is the fuel that powers life on a cellular level. Plant cells have a similar process called photosynthesis that develops chlorophyll, their fuel for life. When light therapy is used, this triggers cellular activity producing ATP and, once produced, the tissue uses it to carry out healing and rejuvenation in the treated area. LED light therapy is often used in combination with chemical peels, facials, microdermabrasion, and micro needling to further enhance treatment results.

Red LED Light Therapy
Aids in the stimulation of skin cells; thereby, triggering the release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a major energy source for most human cells; and, stimulating fibroblasts in the connective tissue which are responsible for collagen production, the essential protein that functions to hold cells together and promote skin elasticity and firmness. Red LED Light also targets the skin’s oil glands to reduce cytokines, a class of pro-inflammatory substances that play a role in chronic acne. It has many reduction benefits of: fine lines, enlarged pores, and broken capillaries. The skin will also appear: smoother, more even-toned, and firmer with each treatment.
Blue LED Light Therapy for Acne
The Blue LED Light targets the strain of bacteria that plays a pivotal role in causing acne for many people. The light causes the development of oxygen radicals that kill P. Acne bacteria without damaging healthy skin.
Green LED Light Therapy
Green LED Light Therapy is an effective treatment for skin conditions such as: pigmentation, sensitive skin, and rosacea. It has the ability to inhibit melanin production and diffuse redness and dilated capillaries.
Yellow LED Light Therapy
Partially permeates the dermis layer; thereby, improving cell elasticity through increased collagen production in the damaged area restoring normal levels; and increases lymphatic flow to clear toxins, waste products and other in-organic substances. This therapy works to purify the skin at the cellular level, leaving it healthy, smoother, and vibrant.
No down time necessary, this is a straight forward treatment. You are placed under the LED lights for 30 minutes to hydrate, plump or calm the skin. To finish with application of personalized cocktail of serums and creams.
What to expect during a session
There is nothing to brace for. You lie back, your eyes are covered, and the panel is positioned over your face at our Greens Farms Road studio. The light gives off no heat and no sting, and most clients drift somewhere between awake and asleep before it is over.
Afterward there is no redness, no flaking and nothing to cover up. You can go back to work or out to dinner with nothing on your skin but the serums applied at the end.
Who it suits, and when
Light therapy is a patient treatment rather than a dramatic one. It suits skin that cannot take anything aggressive: reactive, easily flushed, mid-recovery from something stronger, or tired after a long summer outdoors.
Clients also return through the winter, when months of indoor heating leave skin dull and slow to recover. The difference tends to build over a series rather than after one visit, and results vary from person to person.
A few things are worth telling us before you book. If you take medication that makes you more sensitive to light, if light has ever triggered a seizure, or if a doctor is treating your skin for something specific, say so and we will check before anything is scheduled.
How it fits alongside other treatments
We usually place the light at the end of an appointment, once the skin has been cleansed, resurfaced or needled, which is why it is added so often to a peel or a micro-needling session.
It also runs inside our Oxylight Therapy, where the light is one stage of a longer protocol. On its own it stays short and self-contained, which makes it easy to keep in rotation between larger appointments.
If you are unsure whether to book it alone or add it to something else, settle it during a consultation with Kataryna, a Licensed Aesthetician and Registered Nurse, who will look at what your skin is doing first.
