What is Optimum Skin Health?

The skin is the body's largest organ and serves a multitude of essential functions that are vital for overall health and well-being. It acts as a protective barrier between the body's internal organs and the external environment, shielding us against physical, chemical, and microbial threats whilst also playing a critical part in the body's immune response when injured or wounded. It plays a crucial role in regulating temperature, excretion of waste products and synthesis of vitamin D while ensuring proper sensory perception.

Maintaining optimum skin health is essential for several reasons, both functional and aesthetic.

How does LED help?

LED light therapy is a non-invasive and safe treatment that can be used to restore and maintain optimum skin health and function.

LED light therapy is a non-invasive and safe treatment that can be used to promote optimum skin health.

Fibroblast cells are responsible for forming the connective tissue that maintains the skin's structural framework and the overall function of the skin as an organ. These cells produce collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid and play a crucial role in tissue repair and wound healing.

Red and near-infrared wavelengths penetrate deep within the skin's dermis (2–3 mm), causing photobiomodulation within the mitochondria of our fibroblast cells. Mitochondria generate the chemical energy needed to power our cells and fuel the biological processes fundamental to life. When stimulated by these wavelengths, the mitochondria produce ATP energy, or 'cell fuel', which boosts the fibroblast cell's efficiency and proliferation. This sudden surge of energy causes an increase in the production of essential proteins, collagen and elastin, as well as the vital humectant, hyaluronic acid.

The increase in activity of fibroblast cells following exposure to red and near-infrared wavelengths helps regenerate and rejuvenate the skin, supporting its structural framework, health and function. Following exposure to red and near-infrared wavelengths of light, the skin cells operate more efficiently and optimally, as though they are healthier or more youthful. The skin feels more comfortable and hydrated whilst looking visibly rejuvenated and healthy.

If the skin is suffering from another condition causing irritation, inflammation or infection, then an alternative wavelength of light can be used to treat the concern and once resolved, ongoing optimum skin health can be maintained with red and near-infrared protocols. For example the treatment of Acne with blue light (415nm) or inflammation with green light (520nm).
