What is Red/Blue Light Therapy?

Red/Blue light therapy is a low-level light treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and blue LED light to improve skin quality. Together, they provide a powerful, non-invasive approach to healing and rejuvenation.

This treatment uses the following medically optimized LED light panels positioned close to the skin:

  • Red light (around 630–660 nm) penetrates deeper layers to stimulate collagen, promote circulation, and calm inflammation
  • Blue light (around 415 nm) targets the surface to destroy acne-causing bacteria and minimize active breakouts

Each session typically lasts 20–30 minutes and can be customized depending on your skin’s needs.

Benefits of Red/Blue Light Therapy

  • Stimulates collagen production for firmer, smoother skin
  • Reduces inflammation, redness, and post-procedure irritation
  • Destroys acne-causing bacteria at the source
  • Improves oily skin and prevents future breakouts
  • Safe for all skin types with no downtime
  • Painless, relaxing, and fast-acting

What to Expect

The treatment is simple, painless, and requires no preparation. You’ll relax comfortably while a specialized LED panel delivers therapeutic red and/or blue light to your face.

Sessions usually take under 30 minutes, and many patients describe it as calming—like a warm, healing glow. No anesthesia, needles, or downtime needed!

Recovery and Results

Red/Blue light therapy does not require recovery time, so you can resume your regular routine immediately after treatment.

Red & Blue Light FAQ

Is Red/Blue light therapy safe for teens or younger patients?

Absolutely. Blue light therapy, in particular, is a safe, drug-free option for managing teenage acne. It’s gentle on developing skin and can help reduce reliance on topical or oral medications.

Will Red/Blue light therapy interfere with my skincare products or medications?

It generally does not interfere with topical products or most medications. However, we’ll review your current skincare routine and medications—especially anything that increases photosensitivity—to ensure compatibility and safety.

Is there a risk of UV exposure during Red/Blue light therapy?

No. Red and blue LED light therapies do not emit UV rays and are completely safe for the skin. Unlike tanning beds or sun exposure, these treatments don’t damage DNA or accelerate skin aging.

Can Red/Blue light therapy be used on areas other than the face?

Yes. While the face is the most common, red/blue light therapy can also be used on the neck, chest, and back (especially for acne) and other areas where skin concerns exist.

What does Red/Blue light therapy feel like?

Most patients describe the sensation as warm and soothing. There’s no pain, stinging, or discomfort—just gentle warmth from the LED panels. It’s a calming, spa-like experience many patients find relaxing.

Are there any side effects from Red/Blue light therapy?

Side effects are rare. Occasionally, some patients may experience temporary mild redness or dryness, which typically resolves quickly. Our team monitors your skin closely to ensure a safe and effective experience.
