LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy is a non-invasive skincare treatment that uses different
wavelengths of light to stimulate cell activity, boost collagen production, and help with various skin
concerns.

LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy is a non-invasive skincare treatment that uses different wavelengths of light to stimulate cell activity, boost collagen production, and help with various skin concerns. The contrasting wavelengths produce unique colours which penetrate different layers of the skin in order to have a specific effect.


The energy from the light works by stimulating the mitochondria (the powerhouse of cells) and increasing ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production. ATP helps with cellular repair and regeneration, promoting collagen production, reducing inflammation, and enhancing skin renewal.
