The different wavelengths of light penetrate the skin at different depths. This penetration triggers biological processes to enable skin to rejuvenate and heal. At Artisan Wellness, we use:
Blue light (460nm)
Blue light is commonly used to treat acne. It reduces activity in the sebaceous glands, resulting in less oil and improving acne symptoms. Blue light can also kill acne-causing bacteria.
Red light (625nm)
Red light acts on fibroblasts and is absorbed deep into the epidermis to stimulate collagen production. This reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, reduces inflammation caused by acne, pigmentation and rosacea and gives a healthy glow! In addition, red light also helps promote hair growth.
Yellow light (592nm)
Yellow light is the perfect fit for anti-aging. It reduces redness, wrinkle-causing inflammation and fine lines and wrinkles all while boosting circulation for skin elasticity.
Infrared light (850nm)
Infrared light has the ability to infiltrate deeply into skin. It’s absorbed by the photoreceptors in cells and enhances blood circulation, which stimulates the regeneration and repair of injured tissues. Hence, infrared light does wonders for pigment suppression and melanin pigment destruction.
