LightStim® LED therapy — gentle light to boost collagen and calm breakouts.
Want to calm breakouts or soften fine lines, gently?
If you’re struggling with acne or looking for a way to reduce the appearance of scars, fine lines, and wrinkles, and/or even out your skin tone, LightStim® may be a good option. It emits UV-free rays that energize cells and promote your body’s own natural process to build new proteins and improve your skin. We may recommend this treatment in conjunction with a skin-boosting facial or peel.
A LightStim® treatment works through clinically proven wavelengths of monochromatic light that stimulate specific cells within the body. The specific cellular effect translates into decreased inflammation, reduced bacterial count in acne conditions, and an increase in collagen synthesis.
During the treatment, you’ll lay down with your eyes covered. A lamp will be placed close to your face for 7 to 15 minutes, depending on the skin condition. The treatment is painless with minimal heat sensation and will feel like you’re lying beneath a large flashlight. Most patients find it quite relaxing. For optimal results, you’ll likely require ongoing treatments.
You may be a good candidate for LightStim®:
A typical LightStim® treatment takes anywhere between 15-20 minutes, depending on your skin condition and aesthetic goals.
Patients treated with LightStim® often see:
There is no downtime with LightStim® so you can return to work and your daily activities right away.
LightStim is a professional LED light therapy that uses specific wavelengths of light to support the skin. Red light stimulates collagen and reduces the look of fine lines, while blue light targets acne-causing bacteria — a gentle, relaxing treatment with no downtime.
Red-light LED is used for fine lines, dullness, and overall rejuvenation, while blue-light LED helps calm active breakouts. LED is often added to a facial or used after other treatments to soothe the skin and enhance results.
LED works best in a consistent series and is safe for essentially all skin types. At ZENA Medical in Newport Beach, LightStim is offered under the direction of board-certified dermatologist Dr. Zena Gabriel. Book a session or add it to your next treatment.
