LED Light Therapy in our Boston, MA Med Spa

LED light therapy is a soothing and effective noninvasive skin rejuvenation treatment for individuals experiencing acne breakouts, fine lines, rosacea, and scarring. This treatment, offered by DeRosa Center Facial Plastic Surgery & Med Spa in Boston, MA, minimizes acne and helps to soothe the skin by reducing the swelling, redness, and inflammation associated with common skin conditions. During LED light therapy, a combination of red and blue lights penetrate the top layer of skin and stimulate the production of collagen to smooth the skin. Contact DeRosa Clinic Facial Aesthetics to learn more about LED light therapy.

Your LED light therapy session will last between 20 – 30 minutes. The procedure is warm and comfortable and will not cause any pain. During your treatment session, a member of our team will cleanse and prep your skin before gently gliding the LED handpiece over your face. The handpiece will send wavelengths and energy through the top layer of your skin to promote healing and stimulate the collagen production process. LED light therapy can be added to a facial rejuvenation treatment or performed as a standalone procedure.

Following your session, your skin may be slightly red and sensitive but will heal quickly over the next day or so. Patients typically notice softer, healthier skin in around 2 – 3 days. Our team may recommend several rounds of LED light therapy to help you achieve your personal aesthetic goals. During each treatment, collagen production will be stimulated for results that appear within a few weeks. As such, touch-up sessions may be rewarding and help protect and prolong your results. 

Can LED light therapy burn the skin?

No, LED light therapy does not burn the skin. Unlike some other light-based treatments, LED light therapy does not use ultraviolet (UV) light or produce high levels of heat. It is considered a safe and gentle treatment for most Boston, MA individuals.

Is LED light therapy safe during pregnancy?

What does LED light therapy feel like?

LED light therapy is a noninvasive procedure that should not cause any discomfort. During the treatment at DeRosa Center Facial Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, you may feel a mild warm sensation on the skin, but it should not cause any pain. LED light therapy is found to be relaxing and well-tolerated by many individuals.

How do I prepare for LED light therapy?

To prepare for LED light therapy, make sure to remove any makeup or skincare products before your treatment. This will ensure that the light can penetrate your skin more effectively. You may also want to avoid excessive sun exposure leading up to your appointment, as this could potentially irritate your skin during the session. Our professionals will provide additional pre-treatment instructions, if necessary.

Is there a way to make recovery from LED light therapy easier?

To make recovery from LED light therapy more comfortable, our team may recommend using a gentle, soothing moisturizer on your skin following the treatment. This can help to hydrate and calm any redness or sensitivity. It is also important to avoid harsh skincare products that could potentially irritate your skin while it heals. If you experience any discomfort, feel free to reach out to our team for additional tips or advice.

How long does an LED light therapy session take?

An LED light therapy session typically takes less than an hour at our office, making it a quick and convenient option for individuals with busy schedules. The exact duration may vary depending on the specific concerns being targeted and the customized plan recommended by our team. During your consultation, we can provide a more accurate estimate of how long you can expect your session to last.
