LED LIGHT THERAPY

For acne and rosacea, optimal results are achieved with six to eight, bi-weekly sessions.

For general skin maintenance, optimal results are achieved with one, monthly session. Different wavelengths of light in LED lights, including blue and red, penetrate the skin at different depths. This penetration may trigger biological processes that help the skin rejuvenate and heal.
