Light Emitting Diode Therapy

Light emitting diode therapy is a new form of non-laser phototherapy, which has many beneficial medical uses. These include acceleration of wound healing, certain types of cancer therapy, and many dermalogic applications including treatment of psoriasis, acne and photo rejuvenation of sun damaged skin. The Facial Plastic and Laser Surgery Center offers LED light treatments as part of our comprehensive skin care program. This therapy helps reverse sun damage and skin degeneration by stimulating the increased production of collagen by the fibroblasts in the skin. It also decreases redness, fine lines and wrinkles, brown spots, and pore size in the skin over time. It is particularly beneficial in reducing redness and erythema after laser resurfacing, chemical peels, or a bad sunburn. LED therapy is another nonablative, no-downtime treatment modality, which is an integral part of an ongoing skin care rejuvenation program. It is used in combination with other modalities such as IPL photo facials, microdermabrasion, and Accent radiofrequency skin tightening, as well as Physicians Choice skincare products.
