Light therapy information
What is light therapy? Through the ultrasound procedure, the dermis is stimulated to produce new collagen. The result is younger, and tighter-looking skin as the tissue provides more support to the skin. Improves both neck and facial skin
This facial therapy promotes cellular renewal and repair, tones facial muscles, increases blood circulation, encourages lymphatic drainage, combats puffiness and swelling, and improves skin care product penetration.
In addition to addressing the appearance of acne scars, ultrasound energy can be used to tighten and lift the skin for an all-over improvement in skin laxity and fine lines. It does this by encouraging increased protein synthesis that strengthens the skin – collagen.
Rejuvenate and revitalize the more petite, hard-to-reach areas around the eyes and lips. This innovative device is the result of years of in-depth research into Ultrasound and light technology, offering a less invasive anti-aging alternative for those wary of Lasers and fillers.
Ergonomically designed and easy to use, the device uses painless technology to help tighten, firm and lift the skin, intending to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles from the comfort of your home. The device uses 3 MHZ Ultrasound technology (the most successful intensity for skin treatments) and red and blue light therapy to stimulate dermal activity. The device transports the sophisticated and advanced agents in the serum to deeper levels of the skin. This helps create smoother and healthier-looking skin after regular use.
Red and blue light are at different wavelengths and therefore have other effects on the skin. Where red light therapy helps at the surface level of the skin — stimulating collagen and reducing inflammation — blue light therapy penetrates the pores and eliminates bacteria.
Reduce the appearance of aging, lighten pigmentation and smooth wrinkles & fine lines. The safety auto shut-off automatically controls the duration and prevents over-exposure.
During an ultrasound (also known as ultrasonic) facial, high-level sound wave technology penetrates deep below the skin's surface.
This facial therapy promotes cellular renewal and repair, tones facial muscles, increases blood circulation, encourages lymphatic drainage, combats puffiness and swelling and improves skin care product penetration.
The secret of its success is that with its application, both water-soluble and fat-soluble active substances can easily enter the skin. Applying the ultrasound method, the skin's metabolic processes intensify, and the nutrient and oxygen supply of the cells increases.
Thanks to the positive effect on the connective tissue fibers, the skin becomes tighter and youthful elastic.
The heat generated during ultrasonic treatment increases blood flow, nutrients and oxygen supply to cells.
LED means light-emitting diode. "It works by emitting infrared lights (causing heat) in different wavelengths/spectrums, which have different skincare benefits,". "Red light stimulates collagen and elastin and is most commonly used to promote circulation. Blue light penetrates the deepest and works to tighten and reduce inflammation and kills bacteria."
Benefits of LED Light Therapy
- Smooths fine lines and wrinkles
- Reduces inflammation
- Improves acne scars
- Prevents breakouts by killing the acne-causing bacteria
- Promotes circulation
- Stimulates collagen production
- Brightens skin

LED polychromatic light therapy involves light-emitting diodes (LED), delivering red, blue, and infrared light to the skin. These three (3) wavelengths stimulate beneficial innate cellular responses increasing circulation and activating the release of nitric oxide.
What is LED Therapy?
Light emitting diode is a photo-modulated (pulsed) technic known as
low-level light therapy (LLLT). The infrared and visible blue and red LEDs are
the heart of the smartXS therapy device, providing gentle but powerful
non-coherent light.
What is LED Light?
- PHOTO (light)
- BIO (biology)
- MODULATION (change)
- Every mammalian cell is built with specialized photo acceptors to receive light. Our cells require light for optimal function, so our bodies need light for optimal health. The body understands pulsed light as an instruction set triggering the release of nitric oxide and signaling the cell to produce anti-inflammatory and vital proteins. Most notably, the Noble Prize-winning signaling molecule nitric oxide is released with PLT.
How does Light Therapy work?
Natural light from the sun appears as a warm white color, but it is composed of all the colors in the spectrum; when viewing these colors collectively, our eyes see white. Wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation that we perceive as different colors of light have varying effects on the human body.
As light penetrates the outer layers of the skin (the epidermis), it reacts with light-sensitive chromophores in the cells. This reaction sparks different biological effects depending on how deeply the wavelengths absorb into the body.
Red light, for instance, penetrates up to 4 millimeters into the skin. At that depth, it can positively affect blood vessels, nerves, lymph pathways, and fibroblasts, meaning cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin.
Types of Light and what each wavelength does
Color therapy has been used successfully for centuries. The basis behind it is that each wavelength has a specific frequency. We only see a small fraction of this light, roughly between 380 and 780 nanometers (nm), and that’s what we refer to as visible light.
Light therapy has been used since the 1950s to treat various psychological and physical conditions. In the decades since then, scientists have made considerable advances in understanding the unique effects of each color in the spectrum of visible and invisible light.
Red and Blue Light
Blue wavelengths measure around 415nm. Blue LED light has antibacterial properties and is particularly effective against acne-causing bacteria, making it a popular acne treatment. Blue light has also been used to treat emotional disorders such as depression and addiction.
Red light therapy is a term that commonly encompasses both red and NIR wavelengths. It is the most popular and widely studied light treatment form due to its broad range of effects.
Red wavelengths (630nm to 660nm) are effective at treating conditions on the top layers of the skin, including:
- Stimulating hair regrowth (both male and female pattern hair loss;
- Reducing acne inflammation and breakouts;
- Reduction of fine lines, sagging skin, sun damage, and wrinkles;
- Elimination of psoriasis;
- Accelerated skin wound healing;
- Healing of non-melanoma skin cancers;
- Reduction of post-injury swelling and inflammation.
