LED Light Therapy in Columbia, SC
What Is LED Light Therapy?
LED light therapy is a painless, relaxing way to treat mild to moderate acne and to plump aging skin by boosting collagen production. First developed by NASA, LED works by sending energy-producing packets of light deep into the skin, jumpstarting internal processes like circulation and collagen production and helping to decrease inflammation in the body. The machine used at Stacey O. Studio Massage and Esthetics is a DermaGlow machine, also used at spas like the Ritz Carlton, Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spas, and Kaiser Permanente. This professional machine is much more powerful than the LED lights available for home use and is completely safe.
LED (light emitting diode) rays are able to pass through up to 1 inch of tissue. Different colored rays benefit the skin in different ways. Red and near-infrared rays “kick-start” cells to immediately create more ATP (cellular energy) and increase DNA and RNA activity. The fibroblasts that produce collagen and give young skin its plump look can be stimulated by red light. Blue light combats acne. LED treatment also helps to minimize fine lines and wrinkles, treat sun damage and stretch marks, and reduce redness.
Clients should start to see improvements in their skin soon after their first treatment, but the results from cumulative sessions will be much greater. About 85 percent of clients who buy the LED series at Stacey O. Studio Massage and Esthetics end up buying it again the next time it is offered.

Is It Safe?
Not only is LED treatment effective, but it’s also relaxing and completely painless. No recovery time is required with LED, and it can be completed on all skin types, regardless of ethnicity. Contraindications for light therapy include pregnancy and epilepsy, photoallergy, and medications that cause light sensitivity (such as tetracycline). If you’re currently taking steroids or cortisone injections, you should not receive light therapy. Because light therapy uses spectral light instead of heat to activate the skin’s own biochemical healing process, it remains cool and comfortable. For the first few minutes, the light will seem extremely bright, but as you begin to relax, you’ll barely notice it. A medical-grade eye shield and goggles will protect your eyes during treatment, and no heat is emitted from the light, so you won’t feel a thing. LED treatment has also been shown to help users get into a meditative state. Your 20-minute session could be the perfect way to calm your mind. It can be more relaxing than a nap!
