LED Therapy
At Gippsland Cosmetic Laser Clinic we are committed to helping our clients achieve the best results possible. As a result, we provide ALL of our clients undergoing skin treatments with unlimited FREE LED treatment. Our clients can come into the clinic at any time for free LED sessions.
How does it work?
The human body uses light rays for various purposes (such as metabolising vitamin D for example). The effects of light therapy depend on the wavelength of light used - which also determines the colour of the light. Red light reduces inflammation and promotes circulation, Blue light destroys acne-causing bacteria, and Infra-red accelerates skin recovery.
This therapy was first discovered by NASA scientists during experiments using cool-light sources to promote plant growth for space missions. They extended their studies to experiment on wound healing, and biologists have since found that cells exposed to near IR light from LED grow 150 to 200 percent faster thanks to the increased energy within the cells.
Gippsland Cosmetic Laser Clinic uses the LPL LED, currently the world's first and only specialised optimal lens array LED (which efficiently focuses light). More optical power results in more effective treatments and quicker treatment times. Standard power LED devices are incapable of efficiently focusing light. We use this device for standalone treatments, and also in conjunction with other treatments such as nano-fractional and PRP, to speed up healing times and further enhance results.
It's important to remember that results are achieved with multiple consistent treatments. Gippsland Cosmetic Laser Clinic has one of the most powerful LED devices in the world. Whilst our skin treatment clients receive free LED, our stand-alone prices remain amongst the lowest anywhere in Australia.
Muscle and Joint Pain:
LED therapy, specifically IR (infra-red), uses light to penetrate the skin and increase the metabolism of the mitochondria (the batteries within your cells). This increased energy boosts your cells metabolism which in turn stimulates healing processes in your muscle, bone, skin and subcutaneous tissue.
Traditional drug therapy only serves to mask pain, rather than heal it, and also has potential side-effects. LED and IR therapy is TGA and FDA approved, natural and non-invasive with no known side-effects.
Acne Treatment:
Specific wavelengths of blue light target the strain of bacteria that is responsible for causing acne for many people (not effective for cystic acne, blackheads or whiteheads/milia). The light causes the development of oxygen radicals that kill P.acnes bacteria without damaging healthy skin. As opposed to topical treatments, LED does not have negative side-effects (such as dryness or peeling), it is also pain free, and has no downtime.
Skin Rejuvenation:
Infrared therapy uses relatively long wavelengths which can penetrate the skin fairly deeply (1 - 1.5 inches), and stimulates the activity of fibroblasts, which are responsible for making the proteins collagen and elastin (which are responsible for supporting the skin and giving it elasticity). Replenishing these proteins helps smooth out wrinkles.
It’s important to remember results are achieved with consistent, multiple treatments, and should be viewed as a compliment to a good skin-care routine, including daily use of good quality sunscreen.
