Treatment Overview
LED Light Therapy is a non-invasive phototherapy treatment that uses different wavelengths of light (red, blue, yellow, and near-infrared) to target skin concerns. In Korea, LED therapy is widely used for dark circles caused by poor circulation, inflammation, and thin under-eye skin.
Unlike lasers or injections, LED light is gentle and penetrates the skin without heat or damage. It stimulates collagen production, microcirculation, and cellular repair, making the under-eye area look brighter, smoother, and less fatigued.
Korean dermatologists often recommend LED Light Therapy as a complementary treatment to Carboxy Therapy, Rejuran i, or BB Laser for more dramatic results.
Purpose & Benefits
- Improves Circulation: Reduces vascular-based dark circles by enhancing blood flow.
- Boosts Collagen & Elastin: Strengthens thin under-eye skin.
- Brightening Effect: Yellow and red LED wavelengths reduce pigmentation and dullness.
- Anti-Inflammatory: Calms puffiness and eye fatigue.
- Non-Invasive & Gentle: Suitable even for sensitive skin, no downtime.
- Synergy: Works best as an add-on to regenerative injectables or lasers.
