“Breakthrough technology meets beauty with LED facials – the new secret to youthful, glowing skin!”
What are LED Facials?
LED facials use specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and stimulate beneficial effects. Red and near-infrared light can reduce inflammation, boost collagen production, and improve skin texture. Blue light targets acne-causing bacteria to help clear breakouts. The treatments are painless, non-invasive, and have minimal side effects when done properly.
In my experience providing LED facials to clients, I’ve seen some impressive results. Clients with ageing concerns noticed their skin looked smoother and firmer after a series of treatments. Those struggling with acne saw fewer breakouts and faster healing. While individual results vary, many are thrilled with their glowing, more youthful-looking skin.
The research is promising but still emerging. More studies are needed to fully understand the optimal treatment protocols. But for a gentle, non-invasive approach to skin rejuvenation, LED facials are a great option to discuss with your skincare provider. With consistent treatments and the right expectations, LED facials can be a fantastic addition to your skincare routine.

Learn about the History of LED Facials
LED facial treatments started in the 1980s. They were first used to fight skin cancer. In the 1990s, they became more popular. Doctors used them for dark circles, blemishes, and wrinkles. As LED got better, so did the treatments.
Incandescent bulbs were big in the late 1800s. They were cheap and worked well. But they were too bright and hurt the eyes. In the 1960s, new tech made better lights. These were cheaper and softer.
LED facials have a short history but a big future. They keep getting better. They help our skin look good and feel good. LED facials could soon be a top beauty treatment.
How does LED Facials Work?
We’ve seen amazing results with LED facials at Wellaholic. Here’s how they work: LED lights penetrate the skin at different depths to target specific concerns. Red light boosts collagen production, which helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Blue light kills acne-causing bacteria and calms inflammation. Our customers love the combination of both lights for overall skin rejuvenation.
The best part? LED facials are painless and have no downtime. We often use them after other treatments to speed up healing. Many of our customers at Wellaholic notice a glow right after their first session. For the best results, we recommend a series of treatments spaced about a week apart. It’s a great way to give your skin a boost without any harsh side effects.
Benefits of LED Facials
We’ve seen amazing results with LED facials at Wellaholic. Our customers love how their skin looks brighter and smoother after just one session. The best part? There’s no downtime. You can get an LED facial on your lunch break and go right back to work looking refreshed.
LED facials offer so many benefits for different skin concerns. For acne-prone skin, blue light helps kill bacteria and reduce oil production. Red light boosts collagen to fight signs of aging. And yellow light is great for sensitive skin, reducing redness and inflammation. We often combine different colors to give our customers the best results for their unique skin needs. It’s a simple yet effective treatment that can make a big difference in how your skin looks and feels.
Different Lights Used in LED Facials and Their Benefits
At Wellaholic, we use different coloured lights in our LED facials to target various skin concerns. Each colour has its own unique benefits for the skin.
Red light is our go-to for anti-ageing treatments. We’ve seen it work wonders in boosting collagen production, which helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles[1]. Blue light is great for acne-prone skin. It kills bacteria and controls oil production, leading to clearer skin. For our customers dealing with redness or pigmentation, we often use yellow light. It helps calm inflammation and even out skin tone. Green light is another option we offer. It’s effective in fading dark spots and improving overall skin brightness. We tailor the light color to each customer’s needs, ensuring they get the most out of their LED facial experience.
Possible side effects of LED facials
In my experience providing LED facials, I’ve found them to be a safe and effective treatment for most customers. The vast majority see great results like brighter, smoother, more youthful-looking skin with no adverse reactions. However, a small number of people may experience temporary redness, inflammation, dryness or flaking after treatment, especially those with very sensitive skin.
When this happens, I recommend a soothing moisturizer and avoiding harsh skincare products or sun exposure for a few days. More severe reactions like burning, blistering or scarring are extremely rare but can occur if the treatment is done improperly with the wrong device settings. That’s why it’s so important to get LED therapy from a well-trained, experienced professional who uses medical-grade equipment.
I always do a thorough skin assessment and discuss any potential contraindications with clients before their first LED treatment. For those on photosensitizing medications, with certain skin conditions, or who are pregnant, I may modify the protocol or recommend waiting to do LED.
