LED Lightwave Therapy

We’re proud to be Tucson’s leading provider of LED Lightwave® Therapy. It’s a painless, non-invasive way to heal your skin and reduce the effects of aging.

This technology uses low-level pulses of light delivered to the skin, without the pain and other side effects that sometimes follow from treatments using laser energy. LED Lightwave Therapy represents an essential breakthrough in the science of skincare.

The best LED light to treat a wide range of skin conditions

✔ Stimulate collagen production
✔ Repair wrinkles, lines, & sun damage
✔ Heal acne and reduce its scars
✔ Reduce stretch marks
✔ Facial rejuvenation

Safe, versatile, and long-lasting

First approved by the FDA in 2010 for multiple uses, LED Lightwave Therapy helps solve a wide range of skincare problems. For example, this breakthrough technology builds collagen in significant amounts and also fixes sun damage and wrinkles.

It also works wonders in reducing large pores. This technology can correct problems that were previously only solvable with lasers or chemical peels.

Most importantly, this therapy is safe, gentle on the skin, and long-proven. Many of our patients prefer LED therapy instead of relying on harsher treatments using laser light.

Early NASA research into the healing effects of light from LEDs

The idea of using light-emitting diodes for therapeutic purposes originated during research by NASA at the Marshall Space Flight Center. They were working with civilian laboratories to develop treatments to heal skin wounds during long space flights.

The rigors of space travel and the lack of healing sunlight caused astronauts to suffer small-yet-worrisome skin problems during their space missions. Skin healed slowly and aged quickly.

Researchers focused on finding optimal wavelengths for treating skin problems under harsh circumstances. Those early trials led to the development of LED light therapies.
Those early studies proved that the appropriate spectrum of light could heal wounds, promote cellular growth, and encourage new cell division. Treating skin with the right light gives it a healthier, more youthful appearance.
