LED Light Therapy
Does LED Work for Acne Treatment?
L.E.D.( Light Emitting Diode) can help to prevent and control papules, pustules, and typical acne quite effectively if done properly. The L.E.D. penetrates into the dermis and slows sebaceous glands that create oils in the skin that can cause acne. Non inflamed acne such as whiteheads and blackheads tend to respond less effectively. Multiple treatments are required. Treatments are typically done twice a week for a few weeks. We offer L.E.D. treatments in office for $50 per treatment. A home regime would also be prescribed as needed. It is always best to have a consultation before treating any skin concerns.
Clinical Context
LED therapy uses specific colors of visible light without the heat of a laser. Blue light targets acne-causing bacteria on the skin, while red light helps calm inflammation and support healing around clogged pores. Because there's no heat or skin injury, LED is gentle but works gradually, so multiple sessions are needed to see visible improvement in breakouts.
