LED Light Therapy
About This Treatment
LED Light Therapy harnesses specific wavelengths of light energy to penetrate the skin at varying depths, triggering natural cellular processes that promote healing and rejuvenation. Red light stimulates collagen and elastin production for anti-aging benefits, while blue light targets acne-causing bacteria to clear breakouts. Near-infrared light reaches deeper tissues to reduce inflammation and accelerate wound healing. Treatments are gentle, relaxing, and completely painless, making them suitable for all skin types including sensitive and reactive skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does LED light therapy do for your skin?
LED light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light energy to penetrate the skin at different depths, triggering natural cellular processes. Red light stimulates collagen and elastin production for anti-aging benefits, blue light kills acne-causing bacteria to clear breakouts, and near-infrared light reduces inflammation and accelerates wound healing. At our Coquitlam, BC clinic, LED light therapy is a gentle, painless treatment suitable for all skin types.
Is LED light therapy safe and does it hurt?
LED light therapy is one of the safest skin treatments available. It is completely painless, non-invasive, and uses no UV rays, so there is no risk of burns or sun damage. Most clients find the treatment deeply relaxing. It is safe for all skin types and tones, including sensitive and reactive skin. At our Coquitlam clinic, LED light therapy is also safe to use in combination with other facial treatments for enhanced results.
How often should I get LED light therapy treatments?
For optimal results, we recommend LED light therapy sessions two to three times per week for the first four to six weeks, then transitioning to weekly or bi-weekly maintenance treatments. The cumulative effects of regular LED sessions produce the most significant improvement in collagen production, acne reduction, and overall skin health. Our Coquitlam, BC clinic can help you design a treatment schedule that fits your lifestyle and skin goals.
Can LED light therapy help with acne?
Yes, blue LED light therapy is clinically proven to kill Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria responsible for inflammatory acne breakouts. The blue light wavelength penetrates the skin to reach the sebaceous glands where acne bacteria thrive. Regular blue LED treatments at our Coquitlam clinic can significantly reduce active breakouts and prevent new ones from forming, making it an excellent addition to any acne management program.
What is the difference between red and blue LED light therapy?
Red LED light therapy (wavelength around 630-660nm) targets deeper skin layers to stimulate collagen and elastin production, reduce fine lines, and promote wound healing, making it ideal for anti-aging concerns. Blue LED light therapy (wavelength around 415-450nm) targets the surface layers to kill acne-causing bacteria and reduce breakouts. At our Coquitlam, BC clinic, we often combine both wavelengths in a single session to address multiple skin concerns simultaneously.
