Low level light therapy sits at the gentler end of our treatment spectrum — no downtime, no discomfort, no UV. For patients looking for a low-commitment option to support skin brightness and maintenance, or for those integrating it as part of a broader wellness approach, it offers a genuinely pleasant session with no recovery required.
What is this treatment?
LED light therapy uses specific light wavelengths delivered at low intensities to interact with cellular processes in the skin. Different wavelengths target different chromophores and biological processes. Red light is most commonly used for its association with collagen activity and skin appearance improvements. Near-infrared light penetrates more deeply. Sessions are entirely comfortable — panels are positioned above the skin while you relax.
How we approach it at Revitalize
Sessions are scheduled after a brief evaluation to confirm candidacy and select the appropriate wavelength protocol. You lie comfortably while the light panels are positioned over the treatment area. Sessions take ten to thirty minutes. No numbing is needed. No aftercare other than standard sun protection.
