Empire Tech LED Therapy
History of LED in skin care
Among the latest advances in antiaging and healing skin care technology is the incorporation of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) into skin products and treatments. Initially tested in plant experiments in space, where the power requirements as well as the thermal properties of traditional lighting sources limited their use, NASA scientists soon discovered that LED lights successfully aided plant growth.
Questions grew regarding the additional application of the technology, and additional tests proved that LEDs could fulfill and even surpass many of the capabilities of traditional lighting, including their medical use to accelerate the healing of human tissue and skin. The red light-emitting diodes, grow plants in space and heal people on Earth.
Personalized color therapy
Many LED products allow you to choose the color of your LED therapy. - Choose red light therapy to help with collagen production, hyperpigmentation and wound healing.
- Choose blue light to help treat acne caused by bacteria.
- Treatment of psoriasis - In two separate studies, patients with psoriasis resistant to other forms of therapy showed resolution of psoriasis after 2 x 20-minute sessions with 48 hours between sessions for 4 or 5 weeks.
- Reduction of wrinkles - After 12 sessions of LED therapy, 87% of participants reported experiencing a significant reduction in the appearance of wrinkles.
-Laser alternative - because LED light is less concentrated than laser light and therefore covers more surface area, dermatologists are beginning to choose LED therapy as an alternative to laser therapy for treating larger areas of tissue requiring treatment
- Increased collagen production – Collagen, which is crucial for the production and rejuvenation of skin cells, decreases in production as we age. In a test group, LED therapy has been shown to increase collagen production.
LED use and benefits in skin care
The first hand-held application of LED skin therapy was initially deployed on the front lines of the military as a first responder to treat minor skin injuries as well as pain. Despite holding 80 times the power of a 250-watt heat lamp, the device remains cool to the touch. Since then, the device has been proven effective in treating scarring, muscle spasms, arthritic pain, and many other skin, tissue, and muscle conditions. Since then, dermatologists have perfected this technology to treat aesthetic problems ranging from sun spots, scars, acne and fine lines, depending on the intensity of the light. Due to its effectiveness and non-invasive nature, it is now recommended by dermatologists. Below are just a few of the ways LED technology has proven its health benefits.
- Pain Relief - The original LED device relieved arthritic pain, helped relax tissues, and could even temporarily help promote local blood circulation.
- No downtime – One of the main reasons many dermatologists now recommend LED treatment is that it is extremely effective and yet requires no downtime after the treatment.
