When you hear “LED light therapy,” you might think of calming breakouts or softening fine lines — and yes, it’s amazing for that. But here’s what many people don’t realize: red light therapy also plays a powerful role in hair restoration.
At Lux Aesthetics in Seattle, we incorporate LED technology into multiple treatment protocols, including our Rx Hair Revitalization Program, to support hair growth, reduce inflammation, and create a healthier environment for follicles to thrive. Here’s how it works—and why it deserves a place in your hair (and skin) routine.
How Red Light Therapy Helps with Hair Restoration
Hair thinning is complex. It’s often triggered by hormones, stress, aging, or inflammation, so a one-step fix rarely works. That’s why our Rx Hair Revitalization Program uses a layered strategy that includes PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin), prescription-strength serums, scalp treatments, and (you guessed it) red light therapy.
Red light (typically around 630–660 nm) penetrates the scalp and stimulates the mitochondria in your cells, improving cellular energy and circulation. The result?
- Better oxygen and nutrient delivery to hair follicles
- Reduced inflammation around the follicle
- Extended hair growth phases
- Increased thickness and density over time
It’s gentle, non-invasive, and completely painless—which makes it an ideal complement to regenerative treatments like PRF injections or Keravive by HydraFacial for scalp health.
LED for Skin: Acne, Redness, and Glow Goals
While red light works wonders for the scalp, blue light therapy plays a major role in our acne protocols. It targets P. acnes bacteria to calm breakouts and prevent future flare-ups. We often pair blue and red light to reduce inflammation, kill bacteria, and support healing, especially for clients in our Acne Boot Camp.
LED is also a great add-on after treatments like microneedling, chemical peels, or PRF. It helps minimize redness, accelerate recovery, and leave your skin feeling calm and balanced.
Why We Love LED at Lux Aesthetics
LED light therapy is one of those behind-the-scenes heroes. It doesn’t come with flashy downtime or dramatic before-and-afters. Instead, it works deeply and consistently to support your skin and scalp where it matters most.
At Lux Aesthetics, we use professional-grade devices and protocols that are tailored to your unique skin and hair goals, whether you’re focused on hair regrowth or smoother, clearer skin.
