At Meraki Holistic Health, we are always on the lookout for innovative ways to enhance the healing journey of our clients. One of our absolute favourite treatments to incorporate into almost every facial treatment (yes, even in our acupuncture sessions!) is LED Light Therapy.
And let us tell you, it works like an absolute dream!
What is LED Light Therapy?
LED Light Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses varying wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin at different depths. The light works at the cellular level to promote healing, reduce inflammation, kill bacteria, and stimulate collagen production. Different colours of light—red, blue, and near-infrared—target different aspects of skin health, making it a versatile and effective tool in a holistic health treatment plan.
The Benefits for Skin
When it comes to skincare, LED Light Therapy is a game-changer. Whether we’re using it for acne, inflammation, or overall skin rejuvenation, this treatment has proven to be a standout in our clinic.
Kills Acne-Bacteria: LED Light Therapy uses blue light to penetrate the skin’s surface and target the bacteria responsible for acne (Propionibacterium acnes). This light has been shown in multiple studies to reduce acne outbreaks by killing the bacteria that cause inflammation and breakouts. Think of it as your skin's secret weapon in the fight against acne. No harsh chemicals required!
Reduces Inflammation & Redness:If you struggle with inflammation or redness, the red light in LED therapy can work wonders. It stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, while simultaneously calming inflammation and reducing redness. This makes it perfect for skin conditions like rosacea, general irritation, or post-treatment inflammation. We often incorporate it into our facial treatments to help calm the skin after any extractions or deeper therapeutic work.
Promotes Healing: The power of near-infrared light lies in its ability to heal tissues beneath the surface of the skin. This light penetrates deeply into the skin to promote tissue repair, increase circulation, and encourage lymphatic drainage. That’s why we love using it for clients who may have more sensitive skin or need an extra boost in recovery after facial work or even acupuncture.
Medical Research on LED Light Therapy
A growing body of research supports the benefits of LED Light Therapy. One such study, published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, found that red light therapy significantly improves skin texture, reduces wrinkles, and enhances collagen production. The study also showed that blue light effectively kills acne-causing bacteria and helps clear breakouts. This research solidifies LED as not just a trend, but a proven, scientifically backed therapy in the world of skincare and healing.
Beyond the Face: Using LED Light Therapy for the Body
But wait—LED Light Therapy isn’t just for your face! We also love using our Celluma LED Light on the body for a range of therapeutic benefits. Whether it’s easing muscle aches, reducing pain, or even addressing energy imbalances in Chinese Medicine, LED Light Therapy works wonders for a variety of concerns.
Aches and Pains: LED Light Therapy is incredibly effective at reducing muscle pain and promoting faster recovery. The red light helps increase circulation and promote healing in injured or inflamed tissues. This makes it perfect for anyone who experiences chronic aches or muscle tension. Whether you're recovering from an injury or simply need a little relief from daily tension, this therapy is a great natural alternative.
Cold Wombs in Chinese Medicine: In Chinese Medicine, a "cold womb" refers to a state of imbalance where the energy in the uterus becomes stagnant, which can affect fertility. LED light therapy, particularly with near-infrared light, helps stimulate blood flow and warmth, which can benefit those struggling with this condition. By promoting circulation and warmth, LED Light Therapy can support your reproductive health, helping to restore balance and promote healing.
Why We Incorporate LED Light Therapy Into All Our Treatments
We’re all about taking a holistic approach to health, and we believe that LED Light Therapy aligns perfectly with this philosophy. Not only does it enhance the results of our massage facials, lymphatic and acupuncture treatments, but it also supports the body as a whole by reducing inflammation, boosting healing, and encouraging optimal skin health.
Whether you're receiving a facial, an acupuncture session, or body treatment, LED Light Therapy is the perfect addition to help you get the most out of your session. It’s gentle, effective, and most importantly—backed by science.
