Phototherapy, more commonly known as LED (Light-Emitting Diode) or light therapy has three different colour variants and wavelengths, each helping the skin and promoting skin health and skin rejuvenation differently.
Red light (wavelength: 640 nm) promotes the production of collagen and blood circulation, stimulates cell activity reducing wrinkles and fine lines, helping the skin regain elasticity.
Blue light (wavelength: 423 nm) has a sterilizing effect, kills harmful bacteria, acts against inflammation (ideal for acne), cleanses the skin and activates cells. At the same time, it prevents overproduction of sebum and has a calming effect.
Yellow light (wavelength: 583 nm) improves metabolism and promotes blood circulation, reducing age spots and rebalancing the complexion. Calming and decreasing redness, inflammation and swelling.

FIVE COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT PHOTOTHERAPY
What is phototherapy, and how does it work?
Phototherapy is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light, such as LED or UV light, to address various skin concerns. The light penetrates the skin to stimulate cellular processes, promote healing, and target issues like acne, hyperpigmentation, or inflammation.
What skin conditions can phototherapy treat?
Phototherapy is effective for a wide range of skin conditions, including:
Acne and blemishes
Psoriasis
Eczema
Fine lines and wrinkles
Hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone
Redness or rosacea
Wound healing and scarring
Is phototherapy safe, and does it hurt?
Phototherapy is very safe when administered by a trained professional. It is non-invasive, pain-free, and has minimal risks. During the treatment, you may feel a gentle warmth on the skin, but it is typically a relaxing experience.
How many sessions of phototherapy do I need?
The number of sessions depends on the condition being treated and your skin’s response to the therapy. For acne or inflammation, you may see improvements after a few sessions. Chronic conditions like psoriasis may require ongoing treatment, to manage symptoms effectively. We often use phototherapy as part of a treatment plan alongside other treatments.
Are there any side effects or downtime after phototherapy?
Phototherapy has minimal side effects. Some people may experience mild redness or dryness, which usually resolves quickly. There is no significant downtime, and you can resume your daily activities immediately after the treatment.
