Pros and Cons of LED Skin Rejuvenation
Advertisement
Wrinkles, sun damage and scars are just a few noticeable signs of the aging process, but several of today’s advanced skin rejuvenation procedures have the ability to turn back the clock.
LED skin rejuvenation treatments are among the latest procedures that can activate cell receptors deep in the dermis and improve the quality and tone of the skin. This treatment is now readily available at many aesthetic center and dermatology centers around the country, and offers a number of benefits for patients with aging skin. Here’s a close look at the key benefits and drawbacks of LED skin rejuvenation procedures:
How LED Skin Rejuvenation Works
LED skin rejuvenation uses natural wavelengths of light to stimulate or inhibit cellular activity under the skin’s surface. This goes beyond the capabilities of treatment such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels and skin tightening procedures because it directly affects the skin’s ability to produce collagen and elastin and can even be administered in conjunction with dermal fillers and non-ablative lasers for advanced results.
The procedure itself is very relaxing, and involves sitting in front of a lamp that delivers a steady stream of LED energy. Since this treatment does not rely on thermal energy to manipulate the skin, there is no risk of damage to the surrounding tissues. The treatment takes between 20 and 30 minutes, and most people can return to work and regular activities immediately afterwards.
Key Benefits of LED Skin Rejuvenation
LED skin rejuvenation offers the best results when it is performed as a series, spaced 7 to 10 days apart. This ensures that the skin cells are continually stimulated and that collagen and elastin can be produced at their optimal level. Some of the key benefits of LED skin rejuvenation include:
- Strengthens and tones the skin
- Reduces appearance of wrinkles
- Reduces appearance of acne scars
- Less expensive than other light-based therapies
- Reduces the appearance of freckles
- Reduction of brown spots
- Helps eliminate skin redness
- Improves texture of the skin
- Can be performed on all ethnic skin types
- Gentle enough for sensitive skin types
Drawbacks of LED Skin Rejuvenation
While LED skin rejuvenation treatments offer a number of benefits, there are also a few drawbacks to this procedure. These include:
- Redness and tingling after treatment
- May require several treatments before optimal results are achieved
- Does not deliver immediate results, results are more progressive
- Treatment intervals may need to be expanded to three to six months
Overall, LED skin rejuvenation treatments offer a number of benefits for all skin types and can be an attractive alternative to some types of laser-based treatments that require days and weeks of downtime. In some cases, the LED light can be used to treat scars by inhibiting collagen production and may also help with the wound healing process.
