What Are the Risks of LED Treatments? What are the benefits and risks of LED treatments?

A: Understanding LED

LED Light treatments consist of light emitting diodes that have been turned into medical devices. Generally, the treatment is safe for people for all skin types. It is non-invasive, pain-free, and does not cause cancer. In fact it can be sued as a part of treatment for skin cancer. LED light treatments have many medical benefits including treatment for aging and damage skin, speeding up the rate of healing, and treatment of mild to moderate acne. In fact, the FDA has approved LED treatment for periorbital (eye area) wrinkles. In particular, my office has noticed a significant improvement in the rate of healing following a laser resurfacing treatment with a high reduction in redness and noticeable increase in cell turnover.

All in all, the short exposure to LED light will not likely harm your eyes, it is still recommended that you do not look directly into the lights and during treatment. Patients should wear protective eye shields while laying until or near the light.

All the best,

Does LED Work for Acne Treatment? Acne - can't stand that nothing is working to reduce it. I read about LED light treatments and that could work on acne, but not going that direction unless someone can tell me it works. too expensive and time consuming if not.

A: Blue light LED works to improve acne

I have found LED blue light therapy very effective for treating acne but it does require multiple treatments.

LED light treatments in our practice are $35 per session and only $25 per session if done with another service such as a deep cleansing facial.

Typically patients will come in for two treatments a week for 3-4 weeks or until improvement is visible. At that point we gradually decrease the frequency of treatments. The treatment only takes about 20 minutes and does not leave any visible signs that you have had a treatment done.
