LED Light Therapy in Mason City, IA

Good candidates for LED Light Therapy at Bare Sugar Med Spa are patients who want to improve the health of their skin. This could be by increasing collagen production, decreasing the issues that promote acne outbreaks, and accelerating the skin healing process.

Other people may want to improve skin tone, treat rosacea, and address signs of aging. LED Light Therapy has even been used to treat some skin cancers! It’s completely noninvasive and nonsurgical, with no chemicals, mechanical processes, or lasers.

You should refrain from LED Light Therapy if you:

• Use Accutane for acne.
• Take medications that increase light sensitivity.
• Have retinal diseases (including diabetes).
• Have an active rash.

Though LED Light Therapy is safe for almost any adult to use for skin health support, some patients do experience a temporary photosensitive reaction, which may include:

• Skin redness.
• Stinging (similar to a mild sunburn).
• Acne flare-up.
• Hyperpigmentation.
• Eczema/hives.
• Slight peeling.

Again, all of these are temporary, and, if experienced, will clear up within a few days. They will lessen with continued sessions.

Amazingly, LED Light Therapy for health benefits was first discovered by NASA. Their scientists noticed that, while using LED light to boost plant growth in space, the people tending the plants also had any skin lesions heal faster. With more research, LED light was soon utilized to help wounded soldiers, athletes, and hospital patients—and from there it became adapted for aesthetic health purposes.

LED Light Therapy has been scientifically proven to have beneficial powers, and it has been proven effective for decades in real-world use. It’s a bright idea that continues to benefit us all!
