Microcurrent

We easily get a lot of microcurrent devices in the market, they use small amounts of electrical currents to stimulate our skin which ultimately gives an instant face lift and upon regular usage, results in a proper lifted face.

The stimulated facial muscles results in the production of energy currency underneath the skin which is the main ingredient of elastin and collagen. Wondering what elastin and collagen is? they are the protein components which the skin produces to give itself some volume and shape. So, when we lose it upon age, wrinkles and fine lines appear!

These microcurrents ultimately simulate the production of these proteins and gives you that youthful and plumper lifted looking face with consistent usage.

One more very important thing to discuss it the puffiness, yes, they help in that too. It stimulated lymphatic drainage (muscle movement) results in reducing the all over puffiness and gives a sculpted face.

LED Light Therapies

LED Light therapies are very subjective, proper research proofs are there only for red and blue light. Though expensive, they give results like boon. Extremely worth the investment you make, they do exactly what products like vitamin c, retinoids, niacinamides, collagen jelly does but without them.

Different lights in the visible spectrum have different wavelength and frequencies so a different penetration level into our skin like red light works on skin elasticity whereas blue is great for acne and green believed to be for pigmentation. Let’s dive deeper!

Red Light Therapy

These lights on average being on 630nm is used worldwide for anti-aging and collagen production. When our skin cells get exposed to Red LED lights with a proper wavelength, they reduce inflammation and energize the cell.

With more energy, the cells function optimally increasing its cell turnover rate, production of collagen and intense healing. It gives the same results as a microcurrent device, the only difference being not draining out lymph. They cannot reduce the puffiness.

So, on the whole, Red LED helps in inflammation, fine lines, wrinkles and discoloration sometimes. When used at proper wavelength they can even half the healing times of wounds and scars. Higher wavelength also helps in hair growth.

Blue Light Therapy

Another most studied and proved light therapy is the blue light. The light used is a natural blue to violet light. Along with acne, it can also help improve skin texture and reduce enlarged oil glands. This can also treat sun damage and destroy very early cancer cells.

This light usually targets oil glands and reduces their activity so that less or the required oil is being produced and the bacteria or the fungus which grows eating up the oil just gets destroyed ultimately. When used along with red light, this light also has the ability to even kill the bacteria present underneath the glands, so is great to treat acne.

Green Light Therapy

Green light has the ability to pass further the epidermis i.e. deeper than where the red and blue goes. This especially targets calming down (anti-inflammatory) the stiff muscles and changed the overall texture of the skin. Also helps in pigmentation, lighten hyperpigmentation spots and gives an overall smooth and bright effect.

Yellow Light Therapy

Very similar to red light, yellow light penetrates deeper than blue light. Though studies beyond green light are not completed, yellow light is believed to reduce the melanin production.

Alleviates redness from inflammation, sunburns, and rosacea. Also stimulated lymphatic system. So mainly yellow light focuses on reducing redness.
