POLY PRO CLEAR LED LIGHT THERAPY


​Poly LED light therapy, also known as light-emitting diode therapy, is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses RED & BLUE wavelength energy of LED lights to address various skin concerns. It involves exposing the skin to red or blue colored LED lights for a -research-based amount of time depending on the treatment focus and goals of therapy. 
​The Science of Light Therapy:
LED light therapy, also known as photo-biomodulation, is a non-invasive therapeutic approach that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity in the body. It involves the use of light-emitting diode (LED) devices to deliver controlled doses of light energy to targeted areas of the skin.

The science behind LED light therapy involves the interaction between light and the cells of the body. Different wavelengths of light have different effects on cells, tissues, and organs. LED light therapy primarily utilizes RED and BLUE light, although sometimes other colors like green or yellow may also be used.

Red LED light (wavelengths of around 630-660nm) has a deep penetrating power and is absorbed by the mitochondria within the cells. This stimulates the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the energy currency of the cell. Increased ATP production enhances cellular metabolism, leading to improved tissue repair, reduction in inflammation, and increased collagen production for skin rejuvenation.

Blue LED light (wavelengths of around 415-470nm) has a shallower penetration but possesses anti-bacterial properties. It acts on the sebaceous glands, reducing the production of oil and targeting the bacteria that contribute to acne. Blue light therapy is often used to treat acne and other skin conditions.

LED light therapy has gained popularity due to its non-invasive nature, minimal side effects, and potential therapeutic benefits. It has been researched for its applications in wound healing, pain relief, skin rejuvenation, and treating various skin conditions. However, while LED light therapy has shown promising results in some cases, further research and clinical studies are ongoing to fully understand its mechanisms of action and all its potential applications.

POLY LED features 1820 LED lights, is safe, gentle, and effective for all skin and body types. It can be position to treat any part of the body. It is non-invasive and requires NO downtime, and no recovery time between treatments.
Benefits of LED Therapy
  1. Anti-Aging: Poly LED lights stimulate collagen production, which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This treatment can improve skin elasticity and firmness, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
  2. Acne Treatment: Blue LED lights have been shown to effectively kill the bacteria that causes acne (P. Acnes), reducing inflammation and minimizing breakouts. It can also help regulate sebum production and promote healing of blemishes.
  3. Skin Brightening: LED light therapy can even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, sunspots, and age spots. It can enhance cell turnover and promote a brighter, more radiant complexion over time.
  4. Wound Healing: Poly LED light therapy has been used to accelerate wound healing and minimize scarring. It can stimulate the production of new skin cells and improve the overall healing process.
  5. Improved Skin Texture: In combination with other skin treatments, LED therapy can help improve skin texture, smooth out rough areas, and reduce the appearance of enlarged pores. This treatment can promote a smoother and more refined skin surface.
  6. Hair Health Support: LED light therapy increases blood circulation to improve nutrient delivery and oxygenation that is vital in stimulating hair follicle for healthier and stronger hair growth. It helps to accelerate the growth phase of the hair cycle through stimulation of proliferation and division of cells, resulting in improved hair density and thickness. LED wavelengths penetrate deep into the scalp to stimulate the mitochondria (energy activators) within the cells. Chronic inflammation can lead to hair thinning and loss, which red light LED is perfect at reducing. There are also some studies showing that LED therapy helps to reduce dihydrotestosterone (DTH) activity that is responsible for hormone related hair loss.
  7. Non-Invasive and Safe: LED light therapy is a non-invasive treatment with no downtime or side effects. It is suitable for all skin types and can be combined with other skincare treatments to enhance results.
It is important to note that while LED light therapy can provide noticeable improvements to the skin, results may vary depending on individual skin conditions and the frequency of treatment sessions. 

Who is Not Suitable for LED Light Therapy?
LED therapy, is generally considered safe and non-invasive. However, there are a few contraindications and precautions to consider before undergoing LED therapy:
  1. Photosensitivity: LED therapy involves exposure to light, which may trigger photosensitivity reactions in some individuals. People with conditions such as lupus, porphyria, or any other light-sensitive disorder should avoid LED therapy.
  2. Active skin infections or conditions: LED therapy should not be performed on skin areas with active bacterial, viral, or fungal infections. It could potentially worsen the condition or spread the infection.
  3. History of skin cancer: People with a history of skin cancer, especially melanoma, should avoid LED therapy. The light exposure may potentially stimulate the growth of cancerous cells and are not seen.
  4. Epilepsy or seizure disorders: LED therapy involves bright lights, which can flicker and could trigger seizures in individuals with epilepsy or other seizure disorders.
  5. Pregnancy: Although there is limited research on the effects of LED therapy during pregnancy, it is generally recommended to avoid any unnecessary treatments during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester.
  6. Medications: Certain medications, such as isotretinoin (Accutane) or other photosensitizing medications, can make the skin more sensitive to light. LED therapy should be avoided while taking these medications.

Common Questions

What is LED light therapy?
LED light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses different wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin. It helps to rejuvenate and heal the skin by promoting collagen production and reducing inflammation. We have options for RED and BLUE light therapy with our POLY LED.
How does LED light therapy work?
LED light therapy works by using specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity. Different wavelengths target different skin concerns, such as reducing acne-causing bacteria, promoting collagen production, and reducing inflammation.
What are the benefits of LED light therapy?
LED light therapy has multiple benefits, including reducing acne, improving skin texture and tone, reducing wrinkles and fine lines, promoting healing and reducing inflammation, and stimulating collagen and hair production.
Is LED light therapy safe?
LED light therapy is considered to be safe for most people. It is non-invasive and does not produce any UV radiation, making it a safer alternative to some other light-based treatments. There are a few conditions that are not suitable for LED therapy, including pregnancy, lupus and other active skin conditions, seizures, and skin cancer.
How long does a LED light therapy session last?
A LED light therapy session typically lasts between 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the specific treatment and the area being targeted.
How many LED light therapy sessions are needed to see results?
