When it comes to skincare treatments, microneedling has gained significant popularity in recent years. But did you know that combining microneedling with LED light therapy such as our clinically approved Near Infrared Mask can enhance the results even further? In this blog post, we will explore the expertise of Dr Lance Setterfield and the benefits of using LED light therapy after microneedling.
Who is Dr Lance Setterfield?
Dr Lance Setterfield is a renowned expert in the field of dermatology and skin rejuvenation. With over 30 years of experience, he has dedicated his career to researching and developing innovative skincare treatments. Dr Setterfield is particularly known for his expertise in microneedling and the use of LED light therapy to optimize results. According to Dr. Lance Setterfield, MD, LED light therapy should always be used immediately after microneedling.
What is LED Light Therapy?
LED light therapy, also known as phototherapy, is a non-invasive treatment that uses different wavelengths of light to target specific skin concerns. The light energy penetrates the skin at varying depths, stimulating cellular activity and promoting healing.
How Does LED Light Therapy Complement Microneedling?
When used in conjunction with microneedling, LED light therapy can enhance the overall effectiveness of the treatment. Here are some key benefits:
Increased Collagen Production
Microneedling already stimulates collagen production, but combining it with LED light therapy can further boost this process. The specific wavelengths of light used in LED therapy penetrate the skin, particularly the Red Light promotes type 1 collagen synthesis and improving skin elasticity.
Reduced Inflammation and Redness
Microneedling can cause temporary redness and inflammation, especially immediately after the treatment. LED light therapy, particularly blue and red light, has anti-inflammatory properties that help calm the skin and reduce redness.
Targeted Treatment for Specific Skin Concerns
LED light therapy can be customised to target specific skin concerns such as acne, hyper-pigmentation, and aging. By selecting the appropriate wavelength, the treatment can address these concerns alongside the benefits of microneedling.
Accelerated Healing and Recovery
Combining microneedling with LED light therapy can accelerate the healing process. The light energy stimulates cellular activity, promoting tissue repair and reducing downtime after the treatment.
Long-Term Skin Rejuvenation
Regular sessions of microneedling with a LED light therapy Mask can lead to long-term skin rejuvenation. The combined treatment stimulates collagen remodeling, improves skin texture, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Dr Lance Setterfield recommends incorporating LED light therapy into microneedling treatments to maximise results.
