Healite II LED Light Therapy Sydney – Non-Surgical
Increasing your skin health and tissue quality is the key to reducing signs of ageing, preventing inflammation, and recovering from surgery or invasive cosmetic procedures. After all, the skin is the largest organ in the human body. Taking good care of your skin is important.
Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) is a non-surgical treatment that helps skin healing.
LLLT can be delivered effectively using medical-grade equipment such as the Healite II, a high-performance LED system.
Treatments with the Healite II do not require a recovery period and can help increase circulation as well as promoting tissue stimulation and repair.
Specialist Plastic Surgeon, Dr Michael Kernohan uses Healite II to stimulate and repair skin, assist healing, and reduce skin blemishes. Healite II treatment is suitable for all skin types and ages.
What is Low-Level Light Therapy?
Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) is a therapeutic, non-surgical form of cosmetic treatment where non-UV wavelengths of light are applied to the skin. These wavelengths of UV-free light penetrate deep below the outer layers of the skin and are absorbed by the skin cells.
LLLT works to increase hydration, reduce inflammation, and increase regeneration of the skin, as well as a wide range of other benefits. LLLT is called low-level light therapy because it uses less powerful, concentrated methods compared to other treatments, such as laser ablations. The rays of light penetrate deep into the skin, creating a healthy appearance from the inside out.
LLLT can be delivered using advanced light-based treatment equipment such as the Healite II. The Healite II is a medically approved, medical-grade LLLT device that is used by clinicians across the world. While the LLLT is a non-surgical treatment, optimal results will come from a provider with cosmetic experience and medical training.
Dr Michael Kernohan is a Specialist Plastic Surgeon with extensive training in Cosmetic, Plastic, and Reconstructive surgery. He aims to provide optimal results to each of his patients through highly individualised care and the latest treatment techniques, including Healite II treatment.
Dr Kernohan offers Healite II LED Light treatment on its own, as a part of surgical recovery, or in conjunction with other cosmetic treatments.
What Are The Benefits of Healite II Light Therapy?
Healite II treatment is non-invasive and therefore requires no recovery time while providing results within days. This makes it a great potential option if you are unable to take time off work, don’t want to commit to a lengthy recovery time or want to look fresh for an event that’s coming up. There is no need to worry about post-treatment bruising, bleeding, swelling, or stitches.
LLLT, such as Healite II treatment provides a wide range of potential benefits to the body by making changes deep within the layers of cells.
Treatment with LLLT works to reduce the levels of inflammatory chemicals in the body, increase the production of collagen for skin vitality and reduce the visible signs of ageing or UV damage.
LLLT is shown to have a protective effect against UV damage in the future, as well as reducing the visibility of UV damage that the skin has already experienced. This means that Healite II can be used as a preventative measure against some effects of UV exposure, although this should never stop you from wearing a protective SPF moisturiser when outside.
Benefits of a Healite II Treatment
Increased Collagen Production
The healing benefits of UV-free light therapy include promoting the production of collagen, a connective tissue that makes skin firmer and tighter. It also increases levels of elastin, a connective tissue that allows the skin to recover after being stretched. A lack of elastin and collagen as you age will cause the skin to look less plump and wrinkle more easily.
By encouraging collagen and elastin to be produced in the body, LLLT:
- Reduces the appearance of wrinkles
- Smooths fine lines
Increased Circulation and Nutrient Supply to Tissues
Tissues in the body need chemicals such as nitric oxide, oxygen, and serotonin in order to heal effectively with minimal pain. The Healite II increases the supply of these nutrients and metabolites to healing tissues by increasing blood flow, which helps to speed up recovery time.
This increase in circulation also works to:
- Reduce pain in muscles
- Reduce aching in joints
- Reduce scar formation
- Reduce the appearance of stretch marks
Reduced inflammation
During treatment, the UV-free light penetrates deep into the skin, targeting acne-causing bacteria and reducing skin inflammation. This:
- Reduces redness from acne flare-ups
- Reduces acne scarring
- Shortening of active breakouts
- May help with skin conditions such as eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis
