get the led out…with led light therapy

With so many skincare treatments it’s difficult to discern which are just marketing ploys and which are effective at improving the health of your skin. let’s break down why LED light therapy is actually worth it.

LED (light-emitting diode) light therapy comes in a variety of different colors like red, blue, yellow, and green. each color treats various skin conditions and concerns, such as acne, fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, rosacea and psoriasis. for example, the red light is an anti-aging treatment as it helps stimulate collagen production, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and tightens skin. the professional-grade LED light that rebel + dart uses offers seven different LED colors. the beauty of LED light is that no matter what your skin concern is, there’s an LED color to help remedy it.

LED light isn’t Ultraviolet light, so it has no harmful, sun-damaging side effects. LED light is painless and treatments usually last 10-15 minutes. some medications like antibiotics and tretinoin can cause sensitivity to light. folks who regularly take these photosensitizing meds are contraindicated for LED therapy treatments. i would also caution against having an LED treatment the same day you’ve used a retinol product, as retinol can also cause light sensitivity.

to see significant results, a series of LED treatments works best. rebel + dart offers a $200 LED light therapy series comprised of four, 30-minute sessions, ideally to be done once per week. a brief consultation and skin analysis determines which LED color is best suited for you. the 30-minute treatment includes skin cleansing and steam, 15-minute LED light and moisturizer application. continue your treatment each month to keep the results going or change up the LED color to see different results.
