What Is LED Light Therapy?

Harness the healing power of light for an effective treatment for rosacea, aging skin, and other skin conditions. The soothing and deep penetrating LED light is ideal for minimizing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, improving uneven skin tone, illuminating the skin, and targeting active acne. LED light treatment induces faster healing by improving your skin’s internal function, making it a great therapy to combine with your skin care regimen.

Injectables and surgical procedures can provide aesthetic benefits. While some patients are not afraid of these procedures, others feel squeamish. Fortunately, LED light therapy is a non-invasive treatment known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Light energy can support skin cell regeneration, stimulate collagen and elastin, and promote a natural skin healing response using the correct wavelength and frequency.

How It Works

To help you get that radiating, wow skin texture you crave, our non-invasive LED (Light Emitting Diode) light therapy works at a cellular level to fight rosacea and active acne. The deep penetrating LED light targets deep into skin cells, improving their internal functions, stimulating dermal blood circulation, and creating faster healing so that your skin stays rejuvenated.

Many people struggling with various skin conditions often treat the symptoms instead of the cause of the problem. The way we see it, expensive moisturizers, antibiotics, and serums are wasted when your skin can’t live up to its potential. Using advancements in science, Anne Arundel Dermatology has combined LED light therapy and a localized treatment approach to bring out your skin’s natural glow.
