How does Yellow Light LED therapy work?

Yellow light therapy works by delivering low-level wavelengths of light to the skin and tissues. When the light is absorbed by the cells, it stimulates cellular processes that are involved in healing and reducing inflammation. Yellow light in the 590-nanometre range is thought to affect the mitochondria, the part of the cell responsible for producing energy. The mitochondria contain pigment molecules called chromophores, which absorb light and convert it into chemical energy. When yellow light is absorbed by the chromophores, the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is stimulated. This a molecule provides energy to cells, an has been shown to improve cell function and reduced inflammation.

Yellow light treatments with a LED light therapy machine may also affect the production of free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can cause damage to cells. By reducing the production of free radicals and increasing the production of antioxidants, yellow light therapy may help to reduce oxidative stress.

Who is suitable for a Yellow Light LED therapy treatment?

Yellow light LED therapy is ideal for anyone experiencing unwanted redness, flushing, inflammation or who has experienced an unwanted reaction to a technology enhanced skin treatment like IPL or laser therapy. It may also be used to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scarring.

What results can clients expect from Yellow Light LED therapy?

The results of yellow light LED therapy can vary depending on the condition being treated and the individual person. Some people may experience a significant improvement in their symptoms after just a few treatments, while others may need more time to see results. In general, yellow light can produce anti-inflammatory effects from the first treatment, which may help to reduce inflammation and improve the appearance of certain skin conditions. Your clinician will be able to provide more information on your individual condition and how many treatments may be appropriate to achieve your desired result.
