LED Light Therapy
Light-emitting diode phototherapy, also known as photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive treatment that uses selected wavelengths of visible or near-infrared light to support biological activity within the skin. It does not remove or damage the skin surface and requires little to no downtime.
- Acne
- Redness
- Rejuvenation
- Recovery
- Pigmentation
- Skin radiance
- Non-invasive and comfortable
- No intentional skin damage
- Little to no downtime
- Supports acne, redness and rejuvenation protocols
- Useful before or after selected procedures
- Suitable as a stand-alone treatment or part of a facial program
- Can be customised through wavelength and dose selection
Five wavelengths, five purposes
Rejuvenation and repair
Best suited for
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Dull-looking skin
- Uneven texture
- General rejuvenation
- Post-treatment skin support
- Visible inflammation and redness
A well-studied range for photobiomodulation, skin rejuvenation and inflammation support.
Skin cells contain light-sensitive molecules called chromophores. When the selected wavelength reaches its target, light energy influences cellular signalling, mitochondrial activity, inflammatory pathways and repair processes. Wavelength determines penetration depth and biological target; treatment dose depends on irradiance, treatment time and distance from the device.

- General rejuvenation
- Post-treatment skin support
- Visible inflammation and redness
Amber/Yellow light — Radiance and complexion
- Reduced radiance
- Visible redness
- Uneven-looking complexion
- Signs of photoageing
- Fine surface lines
- Calming and glow-focused protocols
Green light — Pigmentation and complexion
- Uneven-looking skin tone
- Visible pigmentation
- General complexion support
- Calming and soothing protocols
- Combination brightening facials
Near-infrared light — Deeper photobiomodulation
- Skin recovery and repair support
- Collagen-focused rejuvenation
- Post-procedure protocols
- Scalp and hair-support programs
- Combination red and near-infrared treatments
| Light | Typical wavelength | Main clinic use | What the technology does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blue | 400–470 nm | Acne-prone skin | Targets acne-associated C. acnes and supports reduction of inflammatory blemishes. |
| Green | 500–570 nm | Pigmentation and complexion | Used in cosmetic protocols for uneven-looking tone and complexion support. |
| Amber/Yellow | 570–590 nm | Radiance and redness | Used for glow-focused, redness and photoageing protocols. |
| Red | 630–660 nm | Rejuvenation and repair | A well-studied range for photobiomodulation, skin rejuvenation and inflammation support. |
| Red + Blue | Approx. 415 + 633 nm | Acne combination | Combines acne-focused blue light with the rejuvenating and calming role of red light. |
| Near-infrared | 800–850 nm | Deeper photobiomodulation | Penetrates beyond visible red light and supports deeper repair, recovery and rejuvenation pathways. |

We begin with skin scanning and analysis, cleanse the skin and remove products that block light. We then select the wavelength, dose, treatment time and eye protection for the client's acne, rejuvenation, redness or recovery goals.
Protective eyewear is fitted and the LED panel is positioned at the correct distance. The selected light operates for a measured time. Clients usually feel gentle warmth and rest comfortably throughout treatment.
The skin usually feels calm and comfortable, with no recovery period. Moisturiser and sunscreen are applied as appropriate, and normal activity can resume immediately.
An intensive course of 1–3 sessions weekly for 4–8 weeks is commonly used, followed by maintenance sessions. Wavelength, dose and frequency are matched to acne, rejuvenation, redness, recovery or scalp goals.
LED Light Therapy is a technology applied within a treatment, selected in consultation — it is not booked on its own. See the treatments it may be used within.
