At Affinity Acupuncture, we have 2 separate L.E.D. Light systems:
Lightwave and Platinum L.E.D. Therapy
Platinum L.E.D., is a 6 feet panel of L.E.D. lights, which addressess the whole body.
L.E.D. Therapy
Light therapy uses photostimulation to apply pure, beneficial red or infra-red light directly to the skin, using a low powered L.E.D. light. It won’t damage the skin or cause a thermal increase, like laser therapy and intense pulsed light.
This energy stimulates collagen and elastin production, increases blood flow, improves cellular nutrient intake and removes excess fluids and waste from the cells themselves. Treatments typically take around 20 minutes and are non-invasive. Research has found that cells exposed to near infra-red L.E.D. light can grow 150-200 percent faster than non-light stimulated cells.
Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy is used for pain relief and in skin care, responsible for boosting collagen and elastin production in your skin cells to revitalized aging skin, greatly reducing fine lines and wrinkles that can make you look older. This process is completed by improving hydration in the cells, stimulating blood flow to the treated area and removing toxins that may be trapped between the layers of your skin. It naturally improves the skin’s tone and texture for younger, healthier looking skin. It has also been found to repair problem areas like sun spots and other sun damage that can have an aging effect on the skin. In addition, red light therapy stimulates lymphatic drainage to restore skin tone and give you a more youthful appearance.
Infra-Red Light Therapy
Infra-red light therapy is a more intense treatment, though it is still safe and doesn’t damage the skin. This treatment goes deeper into the skin, providing you with additional healing elements that can help reverse the signs of aging. It increases cell permeability, which stimulates cellular pH equilibrium, improves nutrient absorption and eliminates waste byproducts. It reduces inflammation and promotes better healing.
