LED Light Therapy in Seattle
LED light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to support your skin’s own repair process. It’s painless, there’s no downtime, and it pairs well with other treatments.
LED can help with:
Acne and breakouts (blue light)
Fine lines and loss of firmness (red and near-infrared light)
Prepping skin for other treatments, or as part of them
What the research shows
LED therapy grew out of NASA-funded research in the 1990s, after scientists noticed red light helped wounds heal faster. Clinical trials since then show red light can stimulate collagen and improve skin texture, and blue light helps clear acne.
