Eyes should always be protected,” says Shamban. But that does not mean all used in LED light treatments are created equal. “Think about shades in your bedroom — there are super sheer, semi-light blocking and total blackout versions,” she says. When it comes with face shield“the best possible type of eye protection is a blackout glasses which basically does not allow any light through. These glasses can be more of an oversized shield fit to cover the orbital region and block any and all potentially harmful or degenerative rays from the eyes,” she says. “Plus, they provide more than enough dimming so that the intensity for any LED light could not cause interference, discomfort or any sort of damage.” Never have any sort of light therapy or laser treatment without them. (Shamban also advises patients to keep their eyes closed during the treatment, even while wearing glasses
Home masks tend to be less intense than in-office treatments, but your eyes still need to be protected — and you need to make sure you follow the instructions to a T. “Just because some is good, more is not better or best. Following the directions and manufacturer guidelines of any home skin tool or device is paramount to its success and safety,” Shamban says. If the manufacturer advises using the treatment once a day for 20 minutes, doing even two or three sessions a day could be dangerous. “I always recommend you check with your board-certified dermatologist before starting any new protocol, product, tool or technology.”
Ultimately, the risk of eye damage is unlikely, says Shamban. “There would need to be a significant overload or cumulative exposures to bright and high intensity,” she says. “Generally, these treatments are simple, safe and controlled to achieve their skin goals, without any residual negative effects on the eyes.” benefits of LED therapy include treating active acne, stimulating collagen, regulating oil production, minimizing redness, fine lines, and wrinkles. It has also shown to be effective in treating sun damaged skin, age spots and uneven skin.
LED therapy does not include UV lights. This makes it safe for all skin types and tones with no risk of skin damage.
Using light in the visible spectrum of blue, yellow, green and red, as well as light invisible to the eye, penetrates deep into the skin making it a perfect natural skin rejuvenation therapy. The light is absorbed by receptors in the skin and each colour of light stimulates different responses in the skin.
What colour LED do I need?
Red Light: Skin penetration depth: 1-6mm
This is the deepest penetrating colour and results in skin cell regeneration, increased oxygen content in the blood for improved circulation, improved wound healing for acne, treatment for allergic dermatitis, promotion of collagen production, improved wrinkles and fine lines, and an effective treatment for maturing skin.
Red LED light is also thought to reduce severe inflammation while improving blood circulation to the skin.
Blue Light: Skin penetration depth: 1mmThis light has strong antibacterial properties and can be used for the treatment of acne (without irritating it), the reduction of oil production, prevention of future breakouts and offers a UV-free alternative for the treatment of eczema and psoriasis.
Sometimes blue and red light is used in conjuncture to:
Help treat acneDecrease scarringPromote anti-inflammatory effects Green Light: Skin penetration depth: 0.5-2mm Reduces the production of melanin and breaks down melanin clusters on the skin resulting in beautifully even skin. Green light therapy also sterilizes the skin, increasing the growth of new cells leaving you with smoother, younger skin.
Yellow Light: Skin penetration depth: 1-2mm
Promotes lymphatic drainage, improves damaged pigmentation and relieves rough and dry skin conditions by replenishing the skin's cell energy. Yellow light therapy also promotes skin immunity and is effective for treatment and prevention of cold sores.
When will I see results?Just like going to the gym on a regular basis to see results all LED skin rejuvenation therapy will require consistency. At least 4-6 treatments are recommended, but this can be very dependent on the client's skin.
Unlike other skin rejuvenation treatments there is no downtime. Skin can be safely treated on a weekly basis and works best when paired with other treatments like cosmetic acupunctu
