Infrared/Red LED Light Therapy
Infrared/Red LED (light emitting diode) light therapy is a FDA approved, affordable, noninvasive, safe and natural skin rejuvenation techniques without surgery, lasers, peels or injections. Anti-aging LED light therapy was initially developed by NASA research. The effects of infrared LED light therapy on the skin and body have been reported in over 2000 scientific reports and documents. Red and infrared light emitting diodes (LED’s) are convenient sources of intense light at wavelengths. It was found that optimal LED wavelengths for tissue penetration are 680, 730 and 880 nm. All studies to this date show that LED pulsed light treatment is as effective as or more effective than laser treatment. LED light therapy reduces lines, folds and wrinkles, increase circulation, moisture and radiance, accelerates skin repair, stimulates fibroblast and collagen, elastin production, improves elasticity and skin texture. Lymph vessels open and drain more efficiently to remove toxic waste. LED light therapy also treats hyperpigmentation — age spots, freckles, uneven pigmentation due to sun exposure, etc: Most cases of skin hyperpigmentation even out over time from the use of infrared LED light therapy. In addition, LED light therapy can treat acne, shrink pore size, diminish the redness of rosacea . There is no “down time” after treatment. Cosmetic use of this therapy has produced no reported discomfort or side effects. It is safe for any age, color, and skin type.

Home Use LED Therapy Device
Therapy can be administered in the home, with units retailing between $500- $2,500. There is a variation in the lights used, with some having smaller, weaker 3 – 5 mm lights, whilst other [surprisingly cheaper] units boasting most powerful 10 mm lights known as ‘Super Bright’ LED.
Home use LED therapy device is now available. DPL System™ (Deep Penetrating Light Therapy DPL™ System ) is an affordable, portable home use system to treat wrinkles, and other signs of aging skin. Some other system are available on the market.
RejuvaWand, a LED anti-aging device for home use, was launched by Light Dimensions in 2007. It combines RejuvaWand combines relaxing massage Rejuva™Vibe with red and infrared laser light to invigorate the body’s own restorative process. Light from the RejuvaWand permeates the top layers of the skin, stimulating your cells to produce more energy ATP. Increased ATP promotes anti aging by stimulating collagen growth, improving skin structure, and reducing wrinkles. The wand works in tandem with Rejuva Gel. Anti-Aging skin Care Rejuva Moist, Rejuva Cleanse, and Rejuva Toner, come with the package are used to enhance the effect. The procedure is safe, affordable with no side effect at all, and only take 4 minutes to treat each area (forehead, eye corner, laugh line).
