The new high tech skincare trend of LED facial masks and devices can be seen everywhere from YouTube to Instagram…it’s especially popular with celebrities and celebrity estheticians. Why? LLLT (low level light therapy) is the new cutting edge anti-aging regimen.

What is LLLT and how was it developed? Well, it’s a bit of an “out of this world” story 🤣…Sources indicate that NASA first harnessed light-emitting diode (LED) power to enable plants to grow on the space shuttle in zero gravity. Later, NASA scientists utilized LED therapy to accelerate the wound healing for astronauts. (Read more here The Facial That Came From Outer Space)

What does LED therapy do for the skin? Essentially, various wavelengths of light penetrate to different depths of the skin. We view these various wavelengths as different colors. The most commonly used wavelengths utilized for benefitting the skin are red and blue. Red stimulates fibroblasts in the skin to produce collagen and speeds heeling/repair (diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles). Blue kills bacteria that causes acne. Additionally, some of the best factors regarding LED treatments are that they are painless and non-invasive with no downtime.

At Rox Skin Studio, LLC, I have previously utilized LED therapy in a variety of treatments and seen the results first hand. I’m excited to share that I have recently added a Celluma® PRO light panel to the treatment room. This panel allows me to treat the entire face at one time, and also allows me some additional LLLT treatment options. Here’s some inspiring before and after photos utilizing the Celluma® PRO.

Be sure to ask about how LLLT and Celluma® PRO could benefit your skin, and I’d be happy to share options for incorporating this amazing tool into your treatments.

See you Soon! – Roxanna
