LED light therapy has become a popular addition to many facial packages in clinics across Melbourne and beyond. As more people explore advanced beauty treatments, LED therapy stands out for its well-studied potential in supporting skin health
What is LED light therapy?
LED (light-emitting diode) light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that penetrates the skin’s layers to rejuvenate skin and aid wound healing. This therapy uses specific wavelengths of visible light to enhance cellular performance through photobiomodulation.
Light therapy is known for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties. It has various applications across many medical fields. Research shows that low-level light therapy can assist in supporting skin rejuvenation, promoting skin repair, and encouraging hair vitality. Additionally, it may assist with the temporary relief of muscle and joint discomfort.
Although LED lights have been in use since the 1960s, their application in skincare is relatively new. NASA originally developed these lights for plant growth experiments in space. Since then, LEDs have demonstrated promising results in wound healing and human tissue growth.
What type of LED Light Therapy is used at Skin Bottega?
At Skin Bottega in Essendon, we use the Healite II—a medical-grade LED light therapy system commonly used in professional skin clinics. Unlike generic LED treatments, Healite II delivers targeted wavelengths that have been studied for their effects on skin support and recovery.
We specifically use two advanced wavelengths with the Healite II:
-
830nm Near-Infrared Light
This deeply penetrating wavelength targets subdermal tissue to promote wound healing, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain. It works by increasing blood flow and stimulating cellular activity, making it commonly used post-treatment to support skin recovery and comfort.
-
415nm Blue Light
This wavelength helps calm the skin, reduce visible redness, and support healing. It’s especially effective after procedures like microneedling, peels, or laser—helping to soothe irritation and speed up recovery while enhancing overall skin tone and radiance.
Together, these wavelengths make Healite II a powerful option for clients seeking skin rejuvenation, post-treatment healing, or relief from inflammation and discomfort—typically without significant downtime or discomfort for most individuals.
Aftercare and What You May Notice After LED Light Therapy
After your LED light therapy session at Skin Bottega, you can continue with your normal daily activities. There is no expected downtime, and most clients do not experience redness or irritation.
You may feel a gentle warmth on your skin after the treatment. This sensation is completely normal and fades quickly. Many clients also notice a temporary refreshed appearance or slight plumpness immediately after their session.
The real benefits of LED light therapy become apparent over time. With regular sessions, your skin may appear brighter and smoother with consistent treatment.
Skin Bottega in Essendon, Melbourne offers LED therapy to support your skin health and appearance goals. You can arrange a complimentary consultation with us to discuss your skin concerns and determine if LED treatment is right for you.
