Illuminating the Path to Radiant Skin
LED light therapy is a versatile treatment for skin concerns like acne, fine lines, and psoriasis. It utilizes red and blue light, each offering unique benefits to skin cells. The Ava MD dermatologists and estheticians often combine red and blue light therapy to address specific conditions. This treatment is frequently paired with creams, ointments, and facials for optimal results.
What is Red/Blue Light Therapy?
Light therapy uses both red and blue wavelengths, utilizing LED lights to induce a cellular response in the body and enhance cellular turnover. That’s because red and blue light reduce chronic inflammation at the root of major diseases and skin disorders. When it comes to the functions of blue light versus red light, blue light destroys acne-causing bacteria, while red light reduces inflammation and improves circulation.
Benefits of using red and blue light therapy include:
- Stimulating collagen production: Red and blue light therapy is renowned for its ability to stimulate the production of collagen, a crucial protein responsible for skin elasticity and firmness. By increasing circulation and promoting cellular turnover, this therapy results in smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin.
- Reducing inflammation: Incorporating anti-inflammatory properties, red and blue light therapy effectively diminishes redness and inflammation in the skin. This makes it invaluable when treating inflammatory skin conditions, including acne and rosacea.
- Improving skin texture and tone: The dual benefits of red and blue light therapy extend to enhancing skin texture and tone.
- Promoting faster healing and recovery: Scientifically proven to expedite the healing process, red and blue light therapy plays a significant role in reducing the healing time of wounds, scars, and other skin injuries.
This non-invasive treatment option penetrates deep into the skin—safely. LED light therapy does not contain ultraviolet rays, like the sun, making these devices safe for regular use.
Where Can Red/Blue Light Therapy Be Used?
Red and blue LED light therapy have gained popularity in recent years for their benefits on the skin. However, they have different applications for different areas of the body. When comparing the two, blue light has a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency than the energy associated with red light, which can penetrate deeper into the skin.

How Is Red/Blue Light Treatment Different From Other Treatments?
Both therapies have incredible benefits and are commonly used to treat a range of skin conditions. Red light therapy is a must-have anti-aging treatment when it comes to skincare due to its ability to stimulate collagen production and improve elasticity. Blue light therapy is the holy grail for diminishing breakouts, controlling oil production, and reducing hyperpigmentation.
Red light can be used for:
- Improving skin tone
- Wound treatment
- Repairing tissue
- Stimulating hair growth
- Treating sun spots
- Preventing cold sores
- Diminishing scars
- Alleviating inflammation
