And does it really work?
My skin has been looking pretty decent this past month and I’m giving all the credit to Samitra Salon in San Francisco. I’m willing to try anything and everything to get rid of my acne, so when Meetra, the co-owner of Samitra Salon, told me that my facial included light therapy, I gladly said yes! But before I talk about the facial itself, let’s talk about why light therapy is a must-try.
So what is light therapy?
According to Meetra,
“LED, which stands for Light Emitting Diode, is a light treatment, not a laser treatment, and is also referred to as LED red light or LED blue light. LED uses a specific color wavelength of light that penetrates the skin at varying depths. LED is a progressive rather than an aggressive approach and builds resistance over time to aging and external factors.”
Does it hurt?
Nope, I just closed my eyes during the treatment and I didn’t feel a thing!
“It’s a gentle, heat-free treatment that does not contain harmful ultraviolet wavelengths and therefore cannot damage skin tissue. It is clinically proven to be safe for all skin types, colors and conditions,” says Meetra.
What are the benefits?
According to Meetra, “the light energies cells to produce collagen, improve elasticity and increase blood circulation. Which is why it helps improve the skin tone, texture and rejuvenates the skin leaving you with a noticeable glow.”
Who is it good for?
Meetra explains that it “works great for people that have acne because it’s stimulating and destroys acne-causing bacteria. The light stimulates the natural processes even after the treatment has stopped. It is great for anyone who wants to improve the overall appearance of their skin. I recommend getting this treatment once a week for the first month if they have any concerns with acne and then followed by monthly treatments to help keep the skin healthy and beautiful.”
There are also red and green light therapy treatments for those who are looking for an anti-aging facial, but Meetra will customize a facial that fits your needs.
