What is LED light therapy, and what can it do for your skin?
LED light therapy is a painless treatment that places your face under panels of colored light for about 20 minutes. Different colors are chosen for different skin goals, and many clients use it to support clearer-looking, calmer or fresher skin.
There is no heat burn, no peeling and no needle. The light is not UV, so it does not tan the skin. It works best as a series and as a boost on top of other care, which is why it pairs so well with a facial. We do not present it as a medical treatment, and results vary from person to person.
Which light color is used for what?
Each color is chosen to match a skin concern, and your esthetician picks it after looking at your skin.
| Light | Often chosen for | What clients usually notice |
|---|---|---|
| Red | Dullness, fine lines, tired-looking skin | A fresher, more even glow |
| Blue | Breakout-prone, oily skin | Skin that looks clearer |
| Near-infrared | Sensitive, stressed skin | A calmer, more comfortable feel |
| Combined | Mixed concerns | A balanced result across the face |
General guidance for what each color is commonly used for, not a promise of results.
How much does LED light therapy cost?
A 30-minute LED light therapy session is $65. It is one of the most affordable treatments in our technology menu, and it adds easily to other services.
| Option | Time | Price |
|---|---|---|
| LED light therapy | 30 min | $65 |
| Acne facial | 1 hr | $115 |
| Anti-aging facial | 1 hr | $130 |
Your skin consultation is free, and you can see the whole menu on the prices page. Ask us whether to book LED alone or with a facial.
How many sessions do you need?
Most clients start with a short series and then maintain. Light works gradually, so one visit gives a nice glow, while a series gives a more lasting change.
| Goal | Typical plan | Maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Breakout-prone skin | 2 visits a week for 3 to 4 weeks | Every 2 to 4 weeks |
| Dull or aging-looking skin | 1 visit a week for 6 weeks | Every 3 to 4 weeks |
| Calming sensitive skin | 1 visit a week for 4 weeks | As needed |
| Event glow | 1 visit, 1 to 3 days before | None |
A typical plan, not a promise. We adjust it to how your skin responds.
What happens during a 30-minute session?
You lie back, the skin is cleansed, and the light does the rest. There is almost nothing to do except relax, and many clients find it the most restful appointment on the menu.
Aida Khazieva, a licensed cosmetologist and electrologist with 20+ years of experience, designs each plan. Learn more on the about Aida page.
Why a series, not a single visit?
Light is gentle, so the effect builds up. A single session can feel great, and a series is what most clients choose when they want skin that keeps looking better. If you are unsure, begin with one visit and decide afterward.
Skin changes with the seasons, stress and sleep, so your plan can change too. Some clients come twice a week for a month before an event, then drop to one visit a month. Others keep a steady rhythm year round. Bring photos of how your skin looks now, and we will compare them with how it looks in four weeks, so you judge the series by what you see rather than by a feeling.
How do you prepare, and how do you care for your skin after?
Preparation is minimal. Come with clean skin if you can, and leave the rest to us.
Before your visit
- Arrive without heavy makeup if possible; we cleanse first anyway
- Tell us about any medication that makes skin sensitive to light
- Remove contact lenses if they bother you in bright light
- Skip tanning beds and sunburn beforehand
After your visit
- Return to your day right away; there is no downtime
- Use your regular gentle skin care
- Apply sunscreen every morning
- Drink water and keep your routine steady between visits
Who should check with a doctor first?
LED is gentle, but a few situations call for a quick chat with your doctor before you start.
- You take medicine that increases light sensitivity
- You have epilepsy or are sensitive to flashing or bright light
- You are pregnant
- You have a skin condition that is flaring or an unexplained rash
Protective goggles cover your eyes during the session. If you are not sure whether LED fits your skin, start with the free skin consultation.
