3 LED Light Therapy: Uses different wavelengths of light to target specific skin concerns. Red light stimulates
collagen production, while near-infrared light penetrates deeper layers for overall skin rejuvenation.
How to use
1 Choose the right equipment: Select an LED light therapy device that is designed for anti-aging purposes.
Devices emitting red and/or near-infrared light are commonly used for this goal.
2 Clear your skin: Start with clean, dry skin. Use a gentle cleanser to remove any makeup, dirt or oil.
3 Eye protection: If your device emits bright light, wear protective glasses to protect your eyes.
4 Understand Wavelength: For anti- aging purposes, focus on red light (about 630-700 nm) and near- infrared
light (about 700-1000 nm). These wavelengths penetrate the skin and stimulate collagen production, which
helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
5 Follow device instructions: Read and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Pay attention to
the recommended use time, distance and frequency.
6 Establish a consistent routine: Consistency is key for anti-aging results. Plan a regular routine, like using
the LED device 2-3 times a week.
7 Apply skin care products (optional): You can apply your regular skin care products before or after LED light
therapy. Some users prefer to apply a serum or cream before treatment to increase absorption.
8 Use the device: Turn on the LED device and place it at the recommended distance from your skin. Treat each
area for the specified period of time, usually about 10-20 minutes per session.
9 Move the device: If your device covers a specific area, like a mask or panel, move it around to ensure even
exposure on different parts of your face.
10 Be patient: Results may not be visible immediately. It may take several weeks or months of continued use to
see improvements in fine lines, wrinkles and overall skin texture.
11 Combine with other anti-aging methods: LED light therapy can be a valuable addition to other anti- aging
practices, such as a healthy diet, proper hydration, and protection from sun damage.

12 Consult a professional: If you have specific concerns or conditions, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist
or skin care professional before starting any new skin care routine.
Benefits: Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promotes collagen synthesis and improves skin
texture.
• Collagen Production: LED light therapy, particularly with red and near-infrared wavelengths, stimulates the
production of collagen. Collagen is a protein that provides structure to the skin, making it firmer and more
elastic. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines.
