Facial with LED Therapy, Can Improve Skin Texture

Dream - The development of beauty treatment technology is so rapid. There is always new technology to make the skin smoother, healthier, and glowing.

Various innovations are constantly developing to make it easier for women to perform beauty treatments. Moreover, technological advancements have also created many advanced treatments for skin care.

One trending treatment is the use of LED and infrared therapy in beauty clinics. Dream Buddy is curious about how this light treatment works?

Infrared Sauna and Its Benefits for the Skin

One of the trending light treatments is infrared sauna. This treatment is a type of steam bath surrounded by infrared rays in a room that is better than a regular sauna.

"Infrared sauna or known as FIRS (far-infrared saunas) is a type of sauna that uses infrared radiation to directly heat the body. Infrared heat is produced by special infrared elements that emit a wavelength," said Dr. Rahi Sarbazina, a beauty specialist.

The way it works is by using a lower temperature than a regular sauna, because the infrared heat penetrates deeper into the body and causes more sweat. The sweat produced by the infrared sauna has the benefit of helping to clean the pores, remove toxins from the skin, and contribute to making the skin appear healthier.

"Infrared heat can also help improve the appearance of the skin by reducing swelling and improving circulation, which can help make the skin glow overall," said Dr. Marisa Garshick, a dermatologist.

LED Light Therapy and Its Benefits for the Skin

There is also facial with LED light or low-level light therapy (LLLT). It is a skin treatment used in the field of medical aesthetics to address pain, swelling, and support tissue regeneration.

"The way it works involves the use of light emitting diodes (LED) to deliver specific wavelengths of light to the skin that enhance skin health and support various regenerative processes in the skin," said Dr. Rahi.

LED light therapy has become a popular skin treatment trend because it does not involve direct skin contact and does not cause burns or skin damage like UV rays. In addition to not causing pain, the colors emitted from the LED light also have a calming effect on some people.

In order to try this treatment, Dream Buddy should first consult with a doctor or skin specialist/beauty expert. This is to determine the condition of the skin and the necessary treatment for it to be appropriate.

When trying skin treatments using LED light therapy, you will get many benefits depending on the emitted light. For example, LED therapy using blue light can help fight acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation. Meanwhile, red light therapy can help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as improve overall skin texture.

Can You Have a Facial When You Have Acne?

Dream - In addition to using skincare products regularly, you are also advised to go to a beauty salon for optimal skin health. Usually, the routine treatments performed at women's favorite places are facials or microdermabrasion.

Both types of treatments aim to free the face from dirt, dust, oil, dead skin cells, and blackheads. Although beneficial, it turns out that these treatments are not always safe to do.

Dermatologist Listya Paramita revealed in one of her TikTok videos that facials should not be done when acne is inflamed.

"It's allowed to do a facial, as long as the acne is mild and not inflamed, without intense redness, without pus, without cysts. If there is intense inflammation, facial is not allowed," she said.

Doing a facial when acne is severe or inflamed will only worsen the condition. "It will make the acne worse. It will not heal the acne, it will worsen the acne".

In the end of the video, she emphasized that requiring facials for patients with red or severely acne-prone skin is a wrong action. Therefore, she advised people who experience it to seek the right treatment and solution for their acne and skin.
