Trio Skin Care heals with the power of light
CONCORD, CA (Oct. 31, 2024) — A new model of skincare services has emerged, driven by clients seeking a “less pain, more gain” approach to anti-aging and skin rejuvenation.
People want effective results with minimal downtime and affordability. A proven technology that meets these demands is LED Therapy (LEDT), also known as photo biomodulation.
This process involves exposing the skin to specific wavelengths of light, allowing the body to harness light energy to combat the signs of aging and promote faster, more effective healing.
Niels Finsen was awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine for pioneering the use of light therapy in 1903, but LEDT and LED machines didn’t gain mainstream attention until NASA studies in the 1990s.
NASA scientists determined that the exposure of human tissue to LEDs could stimulate collagen production and accelerate wound healing. Years of research and investigation have proven LEDT safe and effective in stimulating a variety of responses in the skin.
Blue light, a wavelength of 420 nanometers (nm), penetrates the skin’s surface and targets the sebaceous glands, producing a singlet of oxygen, a powerful bactericide that kills P. acnes bacteria. Blue light therapy has been shown to reduce both comedones (clogged pores) and inflammatory lesions associated with acne. More recent studies indicate blue light can also improve skin conditions such as rosacea and psoriasis.
Red and infrared light, 630 nm to 880 nm, use photo-stimulation in which light energy is converted into cellular energy. This stimulates fibroblasts – the building blocks of collagen and elastin, leading to skin rejuvenation. Unlike lasers that use thermal energy to induce a wound-healing response to promote neo-callogenesis, LED is a non-invasive, non-wounding modality that stimulates collagen production without downtime or discomfort.
Not all LED devices are created equally. When it comes to LED therapy, a device’s effectiveness hinges on the precise combination of wavelength, frequency and power. Each of these plays a critical role in how light penetrates the skin and interacts with cells. Without these three factors, a biological response will not occur.
Over the counter, at-home devices lack the intensity, precision and calibration of professional-grade machines. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) clearance is a critical distinction for professional estheticians and consumers. FDA-cleared devices have undergone thorough evaluation to prove their safety and efficacy for cell rejuvenation, unlike those merely claiming “approval” without formal clearance.
LED light therapy has gained widespread popularity in skincare due to its effectiveness and versatility. The cumulative effects are particularly beneficial, as repeated treatments amplify the skin’s natural repair mechanisms over time.
The immediate effects of LEDT are increased cellular activity, endorphin release, improved circulation and reduction in inflammation – resulting in a healthier, more vibrant appearance.
Beyond the immediate glow, LED therapy has profound effects on the skin’s long-term health. Increased collagen production improves elasticity and reduces wrinkles, while better moisture retention and enhanced lymphatic drainage support detoxification and overall skin repair.
LED therapy has revolutionized the skincare industry. Its non-invasive approach offers a range of benefits without downtime or risk. LED therapy enhances other treatments and is quick and convenient, allowing clients to easily fit this service into their schedules.
LED therapy has taken the lead in advanced skincare services, combining technology with holistic approaches to achieve lasting results.
