What is Light Therapy, and Why is it So Popular?
Light therapy is rapidly gaining traction, and for good reason. From infrared saunas and LED face masks to red light panels, these various modalities all harness the power of light to benefit health. Most modern light therapy involves LED light sources, which stimulate cells within the body to work more efficiently.
Light Therapy at Städa Skin Lab: Meet the Soli-Lite Panel
At Städa Skin Lab, we offer our own light therapy solution with the Soli-Lite panel, a powerful LED light panel that can assist with lymphatic drainage, boost collagen production, and reduce surface bacteria that causes acne. In just a few short minutes, the Soli-Lite can deliver these impressive benefits, making it a must-try for anyone seeking healthier skin.
The Soli-Lite panel offers red light therapy for skin rejuvenation, blue light therapy for acne bacteria destruction, and near-infrared light for wound healing and pain relief.
Soli-Lite Red: Skin Rejuvenation and Healing
Soli-Lite Red works at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levels, increasing ATP production and fibroblastic activity, which accelerates the repair process and makes cells behave as though they’re younger. With 633nm wavelengths, this therapy can reduce inflammation, promote healing in both the dermal and epidermal layers, and treat a variety of skin concerns. These include:
- Photo damage (sun damage)
- Melasma (hormonal pigmentation)
- Stretch marks
- Redness and rosacea
- Burns
- Plaque psoriasis
- Vitiligo
- Other inflammatory skin conditions
Soli-Lite Red is also ideal for assisting the healing process after treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, laser treatments, injectables, and surgeries.
Soli-Lite Blue: Bacteria Destruction for Clearer Skin
Soli-Lite Blue targets superficial tissue using a 415nm wavelength, which is absorbed by porphyrins produced by P. acnes (the bacteria responsible for acne). This absorption triggers a photochemical reaction that leads to bacterial destruction through free radicals, effectively treating acne at the source.
Soli-Lite Yellow/IR: Deep Tissue Repair and Pain Relief
Using the deepest penetrating wavelength of 830nm, Soli-Lite Yellow/IR works through cell membrane absorption to stimulate complex cellular processes. These processes result in increased collagen, elastin, and growth factor production, addressing visible signs of photo damage and stimulating wound healing. This modality is best suited for:
- Post-surgical procedures
- Post-injectables
- Post-laser resurfacing
- Post-microneedling
- Pain relief
Pairing Soli-Lite Yellow/IR with Soli-Lite Red can further enhance healing effects for optimal results.
Why You Should Try Soli-Lite
In summary, the Soli-Lite panel offers a variety of potential benefits, including support for cellular repair, acne reduction, and wound healing. It can be easily incorporated into other treatments or used on its own during a quick session, depending on individual needs and preferences.
