LED Skin Rejuvenation - How It Works
Other skin rejuvenation technologies, such as laser treatments, are designed to produce controlled amounts of thermal damage to the dermis. A sub-clinical wounding is deliberately used to cause damage and thus invoke the wound healing process, which leads to the production of new collagen.
The use of LED light for skin rejuvenation is unique in that it does not produce any thermal damage. Instead of inducing thermal damage, LED light therapy induces a photobiomodulative reaction. By activating the mitochondrial respiratory system of cells, photobiomodulation stimulates fibroblast proliferation, collagen synthesis, growth factors and extracellular matrix production, and enhances cutaneous microcirculation. These five factors promote the development of healthy, younger looking skin and reduce or reverse the effects of aging.
LED phototherapy has all the benefits of laser skin rejuvenation without any discomfort.
Clinical studies have shown that LED infra red light therapy has been found to be beneficial for the treatment of hypertrophic scars
