What is LED Light Therapy?
LED light therapy shines particular colors of light on the skin to stimulate activity in the cells, without heat and without damaging anything. Each color does a different job: red light reaches deeper to stimulate collagen production and reduce inflammation, blue light targets the bacteria behind acne, and near-infrared light reaches deeper still to speed up healing.
Treatment takes 20 to 30 minutes and requires no downtime. Most providers recommend a series of 6 to 10 sessions spaced one week apart for best results. LED therapy is one of the safest options available — it is safe for all skin tones and can be used as a standalone treatment or added on to facials, microneedling, and other procedures.
Common devices include Omnilux, LightStim, and Celluma. Medical-grade panels used in professional settings deliver significantly more power than at-home devices.
How much does LED Light Therapy cost?
LED light therapy nationally typically costs $50 to $75 per session. Most providers recommend a series of 6 sessions.

What to ask your provider
- Which color do you recommend for my concern, red, blue or near-infrared?
- What device are you using, and what is the output power?
- How many sessions do you recommend, and how far apart?
- Can LED therapy be combined with other treatments I am already doing?
- Are there any conditions that would make me a poor candidate (photosensitivity, medications)?
- Is this a standalone treatment or an add-on to another service?
