LED Light Therapy in Philadelphia

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.
