Will doing LED light treatments affect my dermal fillers?

Question

I have heard that when heat touches dermal filler it is broken down and absorbed very quickly will doing some LED treatments on my skin cause this to happen? Thanks

Dennis Gross, MD · Answer

The technology for LED Light Therapy (or Light Emitting Diode Therapy) was originally created by NASA years ago as a way of growing plants in space. Today, LED Light Therapy is a light treatment that can be used to stimulate collagen production (reducing fine lines and wrinkles) and kill acne-causing bacteria on the skin, improving skin clarity—with no pain and no downtime. It is completely safe and will not affect any dermal fillers, nor will it break them down quicker.

LED or light emitting diode / Low level laser treatments are very very weak in their delivery. They do not penetrate down to the level of the filler and will NOT degrade fillers. Even in longer wavelengths such as 630 nm red light, it will only penetrate 1.5 mm at most. RegardsDr Davin LimLaser and cosmetic dermatologistBrisbane, Australia. westderm.com.au
