Sometimes the most powerful part of a treatment is the step you barely notice. LED light therapy might look simple — a panel of colored light placed over your skin — but it’s often the finishing touch that helps many skin treatments work even better.Â
At Lux Aesthetics in Seattle, our team of aesthetic experts frequently recommends LED therapy after facials, peels, and other services to support your skin while it’s already in renewal mode. Because it’s gentle, comfortable, and completely non-invasive, LED therapy fits beautifully into a variety of treatment plans. Think of it as a quiet booster that helps your skin recover, rebalance, and glow.
How LED Light Therapy Works
LED therapy uses specific wavelengths of light that interact with your skin at a cellular level. Different colors of light are chosen depending on what your skin needs that day. Red light is often used to support collagen and reduce inflammation, while blue light can help target acne-causing bacteria. The treatment itself is relaxing — many clients describe it as a warm, calming moment at the end of their appointment.
Because LED therapy works with your body’s natural healing response, it’s an easy addition that enhances many skincare services.
Why It’s Used After Other Treatments
Many treatments intentionally stimulate your skin to help it renew itself. LED light therapy helps guide that process by calming inflammation and supporting cellular repair. After treatments like the Lux Filter Facial, HydraFacial, chemical peels, or microneedling, LED therapy can help your skin settle and rebalance while still encouraging collagen production.
This is why it’s often added as a final step. Your skin has already been cleansed, exfoliated, or stimulated, making it the perfect moment to deliver light therapy that supports recovery and radiance.
What Concerns LED Therapy Can Support
LED therapy is surprisingly versatile and may be used to support concerns such as:
- Acne and breakouts
- Redness and inflammation
- Dull or stressed skin
- Early signs of aging
- Recovery after advanced treatments
Because it’s so gentle, LED therapy can also be used regularly as part of a long-term skin maintenance plan.
