You already tried or now how beneficial is LED light therapy, but what every color means and what are the specific benefits of each color?
A guide to LED light therapy colors that will spread the light and clarity on this fun treatment!
As bionic as it looks. all my clients say they see the results immediately! It’s true and that’s also why i love to add the LED light therapy to the treatments.
You can book it as a single treatment, as an add-on to your facial, as a series of treatments ( there is a deal to grab right now of 5+1 free treats!) and, it’s always a part of the Ultra Hydrafacial, ” The Mercedes of the treatments”:)
LED light therapy is a revolutionary treatment that can be used to address skin concerns of all kinds. While the most common colors of LED light therapy are red and blue, there a quite a few more that also have great benefits. In this guide, we will discuss all the colors, what they do, and what they can be used to treat.

Different lights of color will penetrate the skin to different depths. As you can see from the chart above, near-infrared light penetrates the deepest into the skin and blue light penetrates the skin to the smallest depth. Therefore, the color you need is most dependent on the condition or problem that you are trying to treat. Since acne appears on the surface of the skin, blue light works well to treat this. Red light is also often used to treat acne as that light penetrates deeper into the skins surface allowing it to fight against the acne that appears deeper. Since near-infrared light penetrates the deepest into the skin, it is often used to give an accelerated boost in treatment.
Combining colors
At Pure Natural Salon i will always combine multiple different colors together. This is a beneficial technique and can work to accelerate the healing process. Blue and red is sometimes combined to make purple and is very effective for acne. Blue and green can also be combined to get cyan and this is also helpful for acne and pigment stains.
After analysing your skin i will choose the best combination of LED light therapy colors to give you the desired results you want!
Plug in and relax….this treatment is so calming!
