What is LED Lightwave Therapy?
LED Lightwave Therapy is a noninvasive skin treatment offered at Mountain View Dermatology and Aesthetics in Tucson, AZ to address acne, eczema, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, and signs of aging. Using red and blue light, this therapy stimulates collagen, improves elasticity, reduces fine lines, and helps clear active acne, all with no downtime. Dr. Marc I. Epstein and our team customize each treatment to rejuvenate your skin.
Request an AppointmentHow Does LED Lightwave Therapy Work?
LED Lightwave Therapy typically takes 20 to 30 minutes and requires no recovery time. During the session, a handheld LED device is moved over your skin, emitting specific wavelengths of light that penetrate beneath the surface. Each wavelength has a different effect:
- Red light stimulates collagen production to improve texture, firmness, and fine lines and wrinkles
- Blue light soothes the skin, reduces inflammation, and targets acne-causing bacteria
After the session, a soothing cream is applied, and post-treatment care instructions are provided, including guidance on sun exposure. The treatment is gentle, painless, and relaxing, and it does not use heat or ultraviolet light.

Am I a Candidate for LED Lightwave Therapy?
LED Lightwave Therapy is suitable for adults experiencing hyperpigmentation, textured skin, acne, sun damage, rosacea, or other common skin concerns. It can also help restore a youthful appearance by stimulating collagen regeneration. Because it is so gentle, LED therapy is often a good choice for patients with sensitive skin or those who want results without downtime. Treatment plans are customized based on individual skin needs and goals, and Dr. Epstein will discuss how this therapy can best support your aesthetic objectives during your consultation.
