​

Light therapy uses is low-level photobiomodulation based on Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology.  It promotes a natural photobiochemical reaction similar to the process of plant photosynthesis.

Research has shown that LED light therapy may help smooth skin texture, improve skin firmness and resilience, increase lymphatic system activity, restore skin’s natural cellular activity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and superficial hyperpigmentation. In addition, current research shows
