The rise in popularity of non-invasive
treatments which improve the quality
and condition of the skin continues.1
In
particular, there has been a rise in the
use of non-invasive devices, with a total
of 280,815 procedures last year in the
UK.2
Particular technology that I’ve found
gaining momentum in my clinic is Light
Emitting Diode (LED) phototherapy, which
refers to the use of low-level light energy
at defined wavelengths to elicit a range
of cellular and regenerative benefits.3 The
mechanisms of action are based on the
same principles as photosynthesis, known as
photobiomodulation, which means that light
is absorbed by target cells to activate specific
biological functions.4
In addition, there are
multiple reported pathways by which clinical
benefit is achieved.5
LED phototherapy
positively impacts cellular metabolism by
triggering intracellular photobiochemical
reactions, which…
