Healite II: How LED facials or LED treatments work:

LED facials and treatments can increase circulation and boost cellular renewal processes.
You’ll notice some results immediately or the next day; but over time, with several treatments, you’ll see an even bigger difference in your skin’s luminosity, circulation and/or texture.
Combining Low Level Light Therapy Facials (LED Facials) with the best skin care product lines (buy online) can help you find a holistic solution to having better looking skin.

LED-Low Level Light Therapy facials, including Healite II facials, CAN do wonderful things for your skin and appearance.

This is why LED-LLLT facials are some of our most popular skin rejuvenation treatments (#2 only after cosmetic injections such as dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections).

The most popular treatments typically requested by non-surgical patients is lip filler, dermal filler and anti-wrinkle injections.

The second most requested facial treatments tend to be Healite II – Low-Level Light Therapy (LED-LLLT) treatments or some of our pigmentation reduction treatments to treat uneven skin or sun-damage.

In order of popularity, Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) facial and body skin treatments come in just after Cosmetic Injections and lip augmentation dermal filler treatments by our top team at Melbourne’s Coco Ruby Clinics in Hawthorn East.

LLLT: Low Level Light-based skin treatments are often helpful to:

improve cosmetic surgery healing times
reduce surgery scar formations after cosmetic surgery procedures
facilitate the body’s natural cellular repair processes
help people heal from sporting injuries, including muscle strains, and wounds
improve circulation

How does LLLT work, in brief?

LED-LLLT treatments use concentrated light therapy methods to bring targeted light and warmth to the skin.
These light “waves” help to boost your circulation and improve your innate healing capacity.

Low Level Light Therapy: Definitions and Uses of LED-LLLT

Definition of LED-Low Level Light Therapy – What does LED and LED-LLLT stand for?

LED stands for Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology
LLLT stands for Low Level Light Therapy
Taken together, they are commonly abbreviated as “LED-LLLT” treatments
This means the delivery of targeted LIGHT energy that aims to achieve a therapeutic benefit

The technical description of how low level light therapy (or LLLT) works is photo-modulation cellular functions

That simply means it works at a number of different cellular levels.
There are different settings designed to achieve different therapeutic outcomes.
Some are healing, others are rejuvenating, and the time and intensity can be adjusted to suit a client’s needs.

What does LED LLLT help heal in terms of skin or other tissues?

The primary USES / INDICATIONS for LED-LLLT in therapeutic settings and medical clinics are to:

improve healing times (shorten recovery)
relieve pain (improve comfort)
reduce inflammation (relieve related discomfort and health problems related to inflammation)
treat acne (reduce skin bacteria)
enhance skin rejuvenation treatments (encourage skin cell renewal)
encourage collagen production (helping to slow down ageing, restore balanced skin functions, and repairing sun damaged skin)

What types of LED-LLLT equipment are available in Melbourne?

Lutronic’s HEALITE II, one of the latest models of LED therapy, is used by our Surgeons, Plastic Surgery Nurses and our Skin Care Clinicians at our Melbourne clinic.
There are others on the market, but this equipment is rated as one of the most popular state of the art LED-LLLT machines available.

We believe LLLT treatments are very effective – not to mention our clients and patients love them.

So we have several of them available at our Melbourne Clinics.

But there is also a HOME option (smaller, handheld device) if you want to give yourself a similar treatment at home.
IT’s not the same ineffectiveness, but it’s an effective way to give yourself some of the benefits of LED-LLLT if you’re not close enough to our Melbourne location to come in for a session.

The Healite II LED treatment equipment is our top Clinic choice for skin rejuvenation treatments and scar reduction after having surgery.

Healite II equipment allows us to offer clients a range of effective LED-LLLT facial treatment options and scar healing techniques.

Having a treatment with Healite II? What does it feel like and what’s the recovery time?

There’s literally very little downtime for LLLT treatments with the Healite II.
You’ll relax on a surgical table or reclining bed during treatment (you can also have a LLLT facial treatment sitting up if that’s your preference).
The skin needs to be clean, exposed and make-up free (if you’re treating an area of the body, you’ll need to undress).
Your skin may be a bit pink for a few hours and you should avoid sun exposure before and after, but otherwise, you’ll be good to go after finishing a session.
If you can, it’s best to avoid putting makeup on just treated skin (but typically you can). Instead, moisturise first or use a great skin serum.
It will feel warm and the lights will flash and change colour as you undergo treatment (keep eyes firmly closed and don’t look at the lights).
Wear your eye goggles if you’re having the deeper penetration settings – ask your Clinician.

The targeted light settings allow us to use light energy to penetrate different depths of the epidermis (skin).

Some are good for facial rejuvenation, others for healing incision lines after surgery.
All feel comfortable and have NO downtime (your skin MAY be a bit pink immediately afterwards, but it passes quickly).
Used properly, research into light treatments like Healite II indicate it’s a safe and effective facial treatment for suitable skin types.
It can even be used after some intensive facial treatments or facial surgeries.

Healite II Treatment Settings: What NM is best for what skin conditions?

Healite II Treatment setting options include 830/590 nm, 633 nm and 415 nm delivery of ‘light energy’ to improve your healing – and your skin.

When you visit with our Skin Care team or Nurses after surgery, they’ll work out a plan for what NM delivery is going to assist you with your healing or rejuvenation goals.
A series of treatments may be recommended.
Bring along your favourite music and headphones – relax and enjoy!

There are also home-use light therapy tools available for purchase (ask our Coco Ruby team for details). But the in-clinic system is more powerful. Ask us about our packages.

If you can’t come in for a series of LED LLLT treatments, investigate buying a home use LED treatment device.
Our in-clinic professional LED-LLLT systems deliver more concentrated light therapy, which has a far greater effect than a handheld device or LED Facial mask, and in a quicker time frame.
We can offer you a package or check out the SPECIALS pages for discounts on LED-LLLT treatments (every so often, we’ll feature a Healite II facial as a monthly special).
And if you need more OBAGI skincare, GloMinerals, Medik8, DNA Renewal or PCA skincare, buy online at our Melbourne online shop (free shipping or next day delivery options MAY be available). Conditions apply.

How does LED-Low Level Light Therapy actually work?

The technology behind low-level lights (LED style) skin therapy – such as delivered via the Healite II equipment – is simple.

Light therapy research indicates that different colour lights trigger different reactions beneath the skin (the epidermis).’
LED technology have a skin-enhancing effect, by improving circulation, stimulating tissue repair and encouraging cellular renewal for skin health.

These lights can also penetrate your skin at varying depths.

The light penetration and the warmth, as well as the colours, lead to the effectiveness of LED-LLLT therapy as a beneficial skincare treatment and scar healing aid.

LED therapy treatment times typically range from a few minutes (6 minutes or so) up to 18 minutes for a more intensive treatment.

Your Dermal Clinician or Cosmetic Doctor can advise you on how long your session should last, and at what Low-Level Light Therapy settings.

More about LED.

Treating acne usually involves a special setting on LED technology devices.

So, too, do special light-based treatments for sleep disruption.

Blue light therapy and jet lag -Blue and green lights have also been recommended by some Sleep Therapists as being helpful to improve sleep quality, reset body clocks or circadian rhythms, and reduce jet lag.

Skin Care uses of LED-LLLT Healite II treatments in addition to treating acne include:

facial rejuvenation
inflammation reduction after skin peels, Fraxel or DOT therapy
surgery healing

Using a mixed sequence of red light, interspersed with yellow light, helps reduce inflammation, boosts circulation, and improves healing times after having plastic surgery.

Red lights are also used to help speed up your healing processes after having surgery (or a deep facial treatment, such as a peel or DOT therapy session or CO2 facial rejuvenation treatment series).
Red light can also help stimulate natural collagen production, which means it can help reduce larger-looking pores and firm or tighten the skin a bit.

LED facial treatments are popular at our Melbourne Clinics for 5 key reasons:

LED facials are one of the most painless facial treatments on the market
In fact, LLLT treatments feel amazing (similar to relaxing on a beach on a perfect weather day)
They increase blood nutrients in treated areas, improving circulation, reducing problems relating to poor circulation, and helping with innate healing capacities
Unlike treatments that use micro-needling or skin peeling, LED facials are entirely non-invasive
No downtime is required – and you can wear moisturiser, sunscreen and makeup right away.

Healite II Facials or LED Facial Masks like Lightstim are another options

There are in-clinic treatments that use low-level light therapy Plus, there are at-home options such as an LED wand or a facial mask.

Shown above is an LED mask. Some surgeons use these for facial rejuvenation aftercare, but we feel they can be a bit heavy to wear after a skin peel or surgery of the face. The Healite II doesn’t touch or rest on the skin – so it is often a better solution for our own treatment regimes.
