Does LED light therapy help with dark spots?

Dark spots and hyperpigmentation in general are prime indications for the use of red and near-infrared light therapy. Red and near-infrared light, either from an LED or low-level laser light source exerts an anti-inflammatory and a skin metabolism-boosting effect (due to stimulation of mitochondria), which results in hyperpigmentation reduction, over several sessions.

Typically, 8-16 sessions are recommended for best results, as red/infrared phototherapy is a gentle treatment that provides natural, gradual results in a safe manner - as opposed to hyped-up “instant” one-off miracles (such treatments can quite often have serious adverse reactions).

What LED treatment should I be using for dark spots and hyperpigmentation?

Just make sure you have treatment at a reputable clinic with the best possible equipment and well-trained therapists, for best results.

At our clinic, for hyperpigmentation we use high-power LED phototherapy with a mix of for red and near-infrared at a total power density of 60-120mW/cm2, for about 20 minutes, 2-3 times a week, for 8-16 sessions (for more stubborn cases, a few more sessions may be needed).

The mix of red (633nm) and near-infrared (830nm) light components is determined by each individual client’s needs.

Beware of cheap machines and cheap LED masks that may not provide what they state “on the tin” (with such devices, both light wavelengths and power densities may be way off, making treatment inaccurate, ineffective or even unsafe).
