Why is a course of multiple LED treatments good for the skin?
To understand the benefits of LED light therapy, we need a little science lesson:
The quality and appearance of our skin depend heavily on the functioning cells. Each cell, like any living organism, consumes energy. When visible light comes into contact with the skin, 60% is absorbed by the skin cells. It turns into energy that stimulates our skin on a cellular level.
It is thought that light photons are absorbed by the skin and underlying tissue and trigger biological changes and healing processes within the body. Different wavelengths (and colours) of visible light act on different mechanisms within individual cells to promote healing and cellular regeneration.
The response within the skin continues for days after this non-invasive treatment, not just whilst the light energy is being delivered to the skin. This continuation of responses provides an opportunity to build on or add to this positive change. By having consecutive treatments ( 2-4 days apart), the skin can build on the positive changes happening within the cells.
We love our Max+ LED because the 6 different colours of light give versatility and choice of outcomes. The gentle delivery of light covers a large area including the neck, décolletage, and shoulders.
Examples:
Acne and inflamed skin can be some of the most responsive skin conditions to LED light therapy. We start with the antibacterial benefits of violet light to reduce the population of infection-causing bacteria, move on to the calming effects of green LED, and finish with the healing and anti-inflammatory influence of red LED. The change in an actively “breaking out” skin can be evident after just one treatment. But the process with consecutive treatments is outstanding, not to mention the confidence building this can have for someone struggling with acne.
Skin rejuvenation and all-over glow. Popular for a pre-event skin pick-me-up, be it a birthday, wedding, or holiday. The infrared LED gets to the cells promoting improved structure of the skin to firm and smooth the appearance, the blue LED helps to relax and soothe the nerves of the face, and the yellow LED gets the glow on.
When you enjoy a Max+ treatment at Plume Skin, it is not just about the benefits of this world-class technology, you reap the benefits of a nurturing and rejuvenating environment. With the option of a foot or hand massage whilst Max+ is working away to aid in the restorative benefits of rest and relaxation.
The accumulated effect of LED is obvious, not just in how your skin appears and functions, but also in how you feel. A win-win.
