LED Light Therapy for Clear, Healthy Skin

LED Light Therapy is a non-invasive, non-medical aesthetic treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to support skin health, improve appearance, and enhance recovery—both as a standalone treatment and as an adjunct to other aesthetic or surgical procedures.

At Corrado Skincare & Aesthetics, LED Light Therapy in Philadelphia is used with intention. Each wavelength is selected based on the skin’s needs, the treatment goal, and—when appropriate—pre- or post-procedure skin optimization.

What Is LED Light Therapy?

LED Light Therapy utilizes clinically studied wavelengths of light that interact with the skin at varying depths. Unlike heat-based or ablative treatments, LED therapy does not damage the skin. Instead, it supports natural cellular processes involved in inflammation control, bacterial activity reduction, collagen stimulation, and tissue recovery.

Treatments are comfortable, require no downtime, and are suitable for most skin types when properly selected.

Understanding the Different Wavelengths

Each wavelength serves a specific purpose. Treatments may involve a single wavelength or a customized combination depending on individual skin goals.

Red Light (Anti-Aging & Recovery)

  • Supports collagen and elastin activity
  • Helps reduce redness and inflammation
  • Improves overall skin tone and texture
  • Commonly used post-procedure or post-surgery to support healing and recovery

Red light therapy is frequently incorporated following facials, chemical peels, lasers, and surgical procedures to help calm the skin and support recovery.

Blue Light (Acne & Bacterial Activity)

  • Targets acne-causing bacteria (C. acnes)
  • Helps reduce active breakouts
  • Supports clearer, calmer skin

Yellow / Amber Light (Redness & Sensitivity)

  • Helps calm reactive or sensitive skin
  • Supports reduction in redness and irritation
  • Often used for rosacea-prone or post-treatment skin

Purple (Anti-aging & Acne/Bacterial Activity)

  • Combination of red & blue light (synergizes the benefits of both therapies)
  • Targets acne and acne scarring
  • Supports cellular regeneration
  • Helps relieve muscular pain 
  • Minimizes stretch marks

Green Light

  • Reduces melasma and skin discoloration 
  • Blocks excess melasma from traveling to the surface of the skin 
  • Targets melanocytes, melanin-producing cells in the bottom layer of the epidermis

Orange light

  • Combination of red & yellow light
  • Gradually boosts cell energy 
  • Enhances metabolism

Combination Therapy

Many LED treatments utilize multiple wavelengths in a single session to address layered concerns—such as acne with inflammation, or post-procedure recovery with residual redness.

LED Light Therapy as Part of Pre-Surgical Skin Optimization

LED Light Therapy may be incorporated as part of a preoperative skin optimization plan to help calm inflamed or acne-prone skin and support reduction of surface bacterial activity. While this treatment does not replace medical evaluation, surgical skin preparation, or infection prevention protocols, it may help improve overall skin condition prior to surgery when used appropriately under medical oversight.

This approach focuses on optimizing skin condition, not replacing medical or surgical care.

What to Expect During Treatment

  • Skin is gently cleansed and prepped
  • Protective eyewear is provided
  • LED panel is positioned over the treatment area
  • Treatment typically lasts 20–30 minutes
  • The experience is relaxing and painless

There is no downtime, and patients may resume normal activities immediately.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

LED Light Therapy in Philadelphia may be appropriate for patients who:

  • Are acne-prone or experience breakouts
  • Have redness, inflammation, or sensitive skin
  • Want non-invasive skin maintenance
  • Are preparing for or recovering from aesthetic or surgical procedures
  • Want to enhance results of other treatments

Your aesthetician will determine the appropriate wavelength and treatment plan based on your skin assessment.

How Many Treatments Are Needed?

    • Some patients notice improvement after a single session
    • A series of treatments is typically recommended for acne, inflammation, or recovery support
    • LED Light Therapy may also be used as ongoing maintenance

    Treatment frequency is customized based on individual skin needs and goals.
