LED light therapy to calm down irritated skin after superficial radiofrequency (the wrong type of RF to use for anything)
At most clinics LED light therapy is provided after radiofrequency as a means to calm down skin after a very superficial radiofrequency treatment, usually on the face, which can irritate the skin.
Low level light therapy (LLLT) in the red (around 630nm) and infrared (around 850nm) wavelengths is known to help calm and heal irritated skin and has been used for this purpose for decades.
At our clinic, however, we do not use superficial radiofrequency for skin tightening, on either the face or body, largely because it is pointless for this purpose: fibroblasts (collagen cells) are found in the dermis (middle skin layer), while superficial RF acts primarily in the epidermis (top skin layer).
We also do not use superficial radiofrequency for cellulite reduction because it is utterly pointless for this purpose. Fat cells and deeper seated collagen structures are found in the hypodermis (deepest skin layer), so superficial RF is really unsuitable for this purpose.
Unfortunately, most RF machines and treatments available today, for either face or body, are just too superficial. Superficial RF primarily overheats and irritates the epidermis before it heats the deeper tissues, such as the dermis and hypodermis - hence the need for red and infrared light therapy to then calm the epidermis.
The fact is that acting too superficially defies the whole reason of using radiofrequency, which is to heat up tissues deeper than the epidermis.
Red and infrared LED light therapy to boost the effectiveness of radiofrequency
At the clinic we use deep tissue radiofrequency for cellulite and body skin tightening, focused with great precision on the hypodermis and dermis, leaving the epidermis alone, as it should be for this application.
For radiofrequency facial treatments we focus, again with precision, on the dermis, leaving both the epidermis and hypodermis unaffected. Again no need for infrared and red light therapy to calm down the epidermis.
However, we still do use LED red and infrared light therapy but for another, more productive purpose than to calm down irritated tissues. We use LED light therapy, primarily in the infrared wavelengths, to maximise the results of our deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency.
It is now very well established that infrared and red light therapy stimulates mitochondrial function and consequently cell energy, and we have found that when used after radiofrequency treatment it considerably enhances the results of RF for both skin tightening and cellulite.
Our radiofrequency treatment effectiveness was already high but since we started combining it with high-power LED red/infrared light therapy results were more pronounced and clients were overall happier.
Pleasant, deeply relaxing treatment
In contrast to superficial RF treatments which can be painful, our deep tissue radiofrequency treatments are pain-free and downtime-free.
However, the LED light therapy part of the treatment is not just pain less, it is actually pleasant and relaxing, with most clients managing to have a nice nap (literally) during their (usually) 20 minutes of red/infrared light therapy after RF.
Have a skin tightening/cellulite treatment in London with the experts
At LipoTherapeia we have specialised 100% in skin tightening and cellulite reduction for more than two decades and 20,000+ sessions.
This is all we study and practise every day and have researched and tried hands-on all the important skin tightening equipment and their manufacturers.
As strong, deep acting radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation are the technologies of choice for skin tightening and cellulite reduction, we have invested in the best RF/ultrasound technologies in the world.
Furthermore, over the last two decades we have developed advanced RF and cavitation treatment protocols in order to make the most of our technologies, for maximum results, naturally and safely.
And for even better, faster results, we now combine our RF/ultrasound treatments with high-power red/infrared light LED treatment.
Our radiofrequency/ultrasound/LED treatments are comfortable, pain-free, downtime-free, injection-free, 99.5%+ safe and always non-invasive.
(No unsafe and ineffective RF microneedling or HIFU and no safe but ineffective acoustic wave therapy, superficial RF (bipolar/tripolar/multipolar etc), low power RF/cavitation, electrical muscle stimulation, lymphatic massage, cupping, dry brushing and no ridiculous bum bum creams.)
Our focus is on honest, realistic, science-based treatment, combined with caring, professional service, with a smile.
We will be pleased to see you, assess your cellulite, skin laxity or fibrosis, listen to your story, discuss your case and offer you the best possible treatment.
Advanced, infrared / blue / red light therapy treatments in London at LipoTherapeia
At LipoTherapeia we are passionate about phototherapy (also known as photobiomodulation/PBM, red light therapy, infrared light therapy, blue light therapy, LED light therapy etc) and we use the most powerful equipment available today (up to 200mW/cm2), for best results and treatment of large body areas.
We use specialised therapy protocols for skin rejuvenation / anti-ageing, pigmentation / post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), moderate/severe acne, skin redness, sensitive/inflamed/irritated skin, wound healing, sports injuries / musculoskeletal pain and overall wellness / well-being.
Our LED phototherapy sessions are comfortable, deeply relaxing and super-safe and are great to enhance our radiofrequency/ultrasound treatments for skin tightening / cellulite reduction.
On our booking page you can book stand-alone phototherapy sessions or combine them with our other treatments, as an add-on.
