How the therapy works
LED light therapy is offered as a targeted add-on to enhance a facial, using either blue or red wavelengths selected for your skin’s concerns. Blue light is chosen to help reduce breakouts, while red light is selected to help boost collagen and calm redness. The technician matches the light to your facial treatment and skin goals.
This short application sits over the face and delivers controlled light to the skin surface; it is non-invasive and typically comfortable for clients. Because it's brief (Duration: 15 minutes) it integrates into a facial appointment without adding significant time. Results depend on your skin's starting condition and repeat sessions rather than a single guaranteed outcome.
What to expect during treatment
As an add-on, LED light therapy is performed after cleansing and during your facial; the provider positions the LED panel and leaves it on for the selected color. The session lasts about 15 minutes and is calm and hands-off. Because this is an add-on service, scheduling aligns with your facial appointment and fits commuter-friendly late-afternoon or evening times.
LED add-on is not intended as a substitute for a full medical treatment; it's designed to complement facial steps and address surface concerns. The effect you experience will be shaped by factors like recent sun exposure, skin sensitivity, and consistency of appointments. We see higher demand in January, October, and December when clients seek relief for cold-weather redness or repair after summer sun.
Choosing red or blue light
Red and blue wavelengths serve different aims: blue is chosen to help reduce breakouts by targeting surface bacteria-prone areas, while red is used to help boost collagen and calm redness after exfoliating steps. Your aesthetician will discuss which color best fits your skin concerns and may recommend one or the other as part of the facial sequence.
Deciding between colors also depends on personal sensitivity, topical products you use, and any recent sun exposure. Tell us about increased light sensitivity, medications, or active skin treatments so the technician can tailor the light choice. Local clients from Carnegie, Mt. Lebanon, and surrounding suburbs often book add-on LED during quick after-work or weekend facial visits.
