Is LED Light Therapy painful?

LightStim Therapy is completely non-invasive and painless. You may feel the warmth on your skin from the LED light panels, but most patients report this as a soothing feeling. We understand every patient has different skin and different sensitivities, so we will make sure to assess this ahead of time to minimize pain or irritation. Because it is so painless for many clients, LED Light Therapy is a popular treatment for dealing with acne and scarring, allowing clients to repeat the procedure as often as needed without having to worry about side effects.

How many appointments will I need?

Light therapy treatments can be done as frequently as you’d like. The number of treatments you need will depend on the condition of your skin. When you call us for your free consultation, we can discuss what your needs and goals are, to better assess how many appointments you may need. For larger scarring areas and severe acne, we tend to recommend a series of follow-up appointments so that the skin can continue to improve and react to the treatment each time.

How long until I see results?

Your results will depend on what your problem areas are, and what you are looking to achieve. For light scarring and acne, results can be seen after a few weeks or a month. This is also contingent on the amount of times you return for follow-up treatments. The more you schedule regular LED Light Therapy treatment sessions, the more potent your results will be.

Can I combine LED Light Therapy with other procedures?

In a nutshell, yes! It’s a great therapy to pair with other skincare treatment options offered at our clinic, including a HydraFacial or Ultherapy . We have a range of specialized skin treatments on offer at our clinic. Talk to your doctor during the consultation to discuss which treatments you would like to combine. From there we can give you a more detailed description of treatment time, cost, and any other factors you will need to know about.

What are the risks associated with LED Light Therapy?

There are no risks associated with LED Light Therapy. It is painless, non-invasive, and time-efficient. If you have any concerns about skin conditions or problems, it is best to discuss this with the doctor during your consultation. As LED Light Therapy is compatible with all skin types, we like to ensure there are no other extenuating factors that may cause adverse reactions before getting the treatment.

LED LIGHT THERAPY

Introduction

LED Light Therapy is one of the signature treatments that we use to treat acne and other types of scarring. Not interested in any sort of invasive or surgical treatment? You have made the right choice in La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic, as we offer a range of treatments and procedures that improve your skin, and bring vibrancy and youth back to your appearance, all without going under the knife. We know how important your confidence is, and with our advanced technology, we offer only the best in the San Diego area when it comes to leveling up your looks.

What is LED Light Therapy?

The LED lights work by sending wavelengths of light energy into the skin. These waves of energy can get below the surface of the dermis layer. There, they start stimulating the production of collagen and elastin within the skin. These are the substances that make your skin plump and firm, but naturally decline as you get older. Stimulating the production with LED lights can help give you back a natural, youthful appearance.

Wavelengths of light deliver energy to your skin, in the same way that the sun delivers energy to a plant. The light waves from the LED eliminate harmful UV rays and deliver only the light’s healing energy.

What are the Benefits of LED Light Therapy?

San Diego and La Jolla LED Light therapy offers many benefits and can treat many skin concerns, including:

Diminishing fine lines and wrinkles
Minimizing the appearance of pores
Killing acne-causing bacteria
Calming and reducing redness
Improving tone and refining texture
Revitalizing dull skin

LED light therapy can improve how your skin functions, allowing it to continue to improve over time. The light therapy can make the skin more receptive to products like serums and moisturizers, enhancing their benefits. It can also speed up the recovery of the skin, allowing it to heal from acne and laser treatments faster.

The LightStim treatment in La Jolla and the San Diego area is good for all skin types and tones. There are a range of different reasons people are interested in LED Light Therapy and how it can help them.

What’s the First Step?

If you’d like to learn more about treatments that work for your skin type, contact us today to schedule a complimentary consultation. During this phase, we will assess your skin type, and determine the amount of surface area that needs to be treated, how long the procedure will take, as well as how much it will cost.

During the consultation, you will be able to speak with our doctor about your concerns. The doctor will walk you through the process of how LED light therapy works.

What to Expect on the Day of LED Light Therapy Treatment

On the day of your treatment, we recommend wearing clothing that allows the area of skin being treated to breathe. This could be a sleeveless shirt or loose items that don’t irritate the treated area after treatment. After filling out the paperwork, we take you to our procedure room, and the doctor will talk you through the process.

You will be provided with some protective eyewear and then lie on your back as your provider places the LED light therapy device above your face. You will need to lie still during the entire treatment as the device works for optimal results.

Because LED Light Therapy treatment is painless and non-invasive, for many clients, the procedure is completed in under an hour. Following the treatment, we give you recommendations for topical pain relief should you experience any, as well as skin care steps to follow during the recovery process.

LED Light Therapy Recovery

The recovery process for LED Light Therapy is fairly minimal. Since there is no pain involved, for the majority of our patients, no pain relief is needed after the treatment. However, we do offer advice on topical, over-the-counter ointments that can help alleviate any irritation you may feel afterward. We do recommend wearing loose clothing around the treatment site, or wherever possible, avoiding tight clothing for a few hours to allow the skin to heal and return to normal.

How Much Does LED Light Therapy Cost in La Jolla & San Diego?

The cost of LED Light Therapy in La Jolla & San Diego will vary from patient to patient and each of our treatments is priced according to your needs. When you come in for a consultation, the doctor will assess the amount of area needing to be treated, how long it will take, and the severity of any skin issues you may have.

I never felt pressured to purchase any product/service. In fact, the doctor suggested I hold off on a service I was interested in to see if it was even necessary. I am genuinely looking forward to my next appointment”
