Medial LED Light Therapy
Supporting Skin Recovery, Inflammation Control, and Skin Health
Medical LED therapy is a non-invasive light-based treatment used in dermatology and aesthetic medicine to support skin recovery and overall skin health.
LED (light-emitting diode) devices deliver specific wavelengths of light into the skin. These wavelengths interact with biological processes within skin cells and may help support healing, reduce inflammation, and promote skin recovery.
Unlike laser treatments, LED therapy does not rely on heat or tissue injury. Instead, it works by delivering controlled light energy that may support the skin’s natural repair mechanisms.
At CLEO Aesthetic, medical LED therapy is commonly incorporated into treatment plans to support skin recovery following procedures or to help calm inflammation in certain skin conditions.

Multi-Wavelength LED Therapy
The medical LED device used at CLEO Aesthetic delivers several wavelengths of light.
Each wavelength interacts with the skin in different ways and may support different biological processes involved in skin recovery and skin balance.
| Wavelength | Colour | Potential Role in Skin Support |
|---|---|---|
|
415 nm |
Blue Light |
May help influence acne-associated bacteria and support acne management |
|
520 nm |
Green Light |
May help calm inflammation and support skin circulation |
|
590 nm |
Yellow Light |
May help reduce visible redness and support sensitive skin recovery |
|
633 nm |
Red Light |
May support collagen activity and improve overall skin texture |
|
830 nm |
Near-Infrared |
Penetrates deeper into tissue and may support cellular repair processes |
Because these wavelengths work at different depths within the skin, LED therapy may be used to support several aspects of skin health, including inflammation control, skin recovery, and overall skin balance.
The specific wavelengths used during treatment depend on the individual’s skin condition and treatment goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is LED therapy the same as laser treatment?
No. Laser treatments use focused light energy to create controlled tissue effects, while LED therapy delivers lower-energy light that supports cellular activity without causing tissue injury.
Can LED therapy treat acne?
Certain wavelengths of LED light may help support acne management when used as part of a broader treatment plan.
Can LED therapy help sensitive or reactive skin?
Certain wavelengths of LED light may help support the skin’s natural recovery processes and reduce visible redness associated with inflammation.
Because LED therapy does not rely on heat or tissue injury, it is often used in dermatology and aesthetic medicine to help calm the skin following procedures such as lasers, microneedling, or injectable treatments.
In individuals with sensitive or reactive skin, LED therapy may help support skin comfort and recovery as part of a broader treatment plan.
Suitability depends on the individual’s skin condition and should be assessed during consultation.
How often can LED therapy be performed?
The frequency of treatment depends on the individual’s skin condition and treatment goals. Some individuals incorporate LED therapy regularly as part of skin maintenance.
Can LED therapy be combined with other treatments?
Yes. LED therapy is commonly combined with other treatments to support skin recovery and comfort after procedures.
