By imitating daylight, LED light therapy offers many health benefits: nothing like this to cure a winter blues! If it has already proven its effectiveness on morale, it is today for its beneficial properties on the skin that it is most sought after. You will find it in many institutes, combined with other actions such as macro-foliation. But why such a passion for light? How effective is it on the skin? Find out everything you need to know about light therapy.
What is LED light therapy?
Light therapy, light treatment
A therapeutic technique used to treat depression or insomnia, light therapy, also known as phototherapy, is characterized by a patient’s exposure to light rays that perfectly mimic the sun’s rays. In fact, it not only acts on the skin: it also sends signals to the brain to help it determine the different stages of the day.
So vital instincts and biological clock depend on its light. When this one comes to be lacking, the body and the mind undergo a disorder, finding themselves completely disoriented. This is why, when the days get shorter, the awakening becomes more difficult, fatigue sets in and sleep is agitated.
The benefits of light on the skin
LED Light therapy can be used to treat acne and certain skin diseases such as eczema, urticaria or psoriasis. The properties of light penetrate the skin and have the power to facilitate the micro blood circulation. It also promotes cell renewal and thus improves the appearance of the skin by repairing the skin tissue.
It is thus recommended to do regular light therapy sessions in order to better live the seasonal changes, avoid seasonal depression and rebalance the biological cycles. Without infrared or UV, the white light characteristic of light therapy lamps helps to regulate the internal balance, and this is seen on the outside!
How does light therapy work on the skin?
To give energy to cells and stimulate collagen production, the dermis needs light. Light therapy will emit light through light emitting diodes that will stimulate cytochromes, proteins that respond to light and color. A biochemical action that occurs naturally in the skin.
The Immediate Benefits of Light
Thanks to its bright and intense light and its direct action on the skin, light therapy allows the treatment of acne scars. Its light favours the micro blood circulation which would have a direct impact on the renewal of skin cells and thus facilitates the regeneration of the epidermis.
In addition, blue light therapy fights acne causing bacteria.
By compensating for the lack of light due to the change of season, light therapy guarantees you a good mood all year round! At 30 minutes of exposure per day, you can say goodbye to the fatigue as well as to the morale drops.
To rebalance your biological clock, artificial light treatment also works on your tone and vitality. Your biological cycles are harmonized, your mood improves and your digestion is facilitated.
