Light therapy: great for wrinkle prevention but not for deep line reduction

Red and infrared light therapy with an LED device can indeed help with anti-ageing, skin healing and rejuvenation, giving skin a healthy glow and helping prevent skin laxity and fine lines and light wrinkles.

However, its effect is not strong enough to reduce nasolabial folds (smile lines), especially deep ones that have formed over years or decades.

Sure, LED ligh therapy in the red (~630nm) and infrared (~830nm) wavelengths can help partially prevent nasolabial folds but it cannot reduce them, unless they are recent and/or mild.

Years’ or decades’ old nasolabial folds represent permanent collagen changes inside the skin which cannot be reversed by LED light therapy.

Other surgical and non-surgical solutions for nasolabial folds

The fact is that for best results with nasolabial folds, surgery (face lift) is the only solution. However, many people do not want to go down the surgery route and explore non-surgical methods, such as fillers, RF, HIFU etc.

  • Fillers can fill the folds with hyaluronic acid but the result usually looks artificial (the usual “filler puff”)

  • Botox can stop you from laughing and smiling and subsequently from nasolabial folds from forming - but what life that can be without smiling and laughing?

  • Very high intensity HIFU and RF microneedling can in theory help, but their safety profile is atrocious, while low intensity versions simply do not work

Radiofrequency and LED therapy combined for nasolabial folds

Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency, the strongest SAFE skin tightening treatment available today, can help reduce nasolabial folds to some extent but not fully.

And the good news is that high-power red and infrared LED light therapy, applied right after radiofrequency treatment, can maximise the results of radiofrequency. This is due to the effect red and near infrared light exerts on cell mitochondria.

Sure, deep, strong radiofrequency cannot achieve the results of surgery, but as far as non-surgical methods are concerned, it is the best technology out there for skin tightening and rejuvenation, especially when RF treatment is followed by high-power LED treatment.
