LED Therapy Introduction
At PURE MedSpa, we believe that radiant skin begins with innovative, non-invasive solutions that work beneath the surface. LED (Light Emitting Diode) Therapy is one of the most effective and relaxing skin treatments we offer—capable of addressing a variety of concerns from aging and acne to inflammation and redness. Backed by science and developed by NASA, this painless, non-thermal therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate natural cellular processes and encourage the skin to heal and regenerate.
LED Therapy is an excellent standalone treatment or a powerful complement to facials, chemical peels, microneedling, or post-laser recovery. Whether you’re hoping to reduce breakouts, reverse signs of aging, or simply calm your skin, this treatment delivers rejuvenating results with no downtime. It’s safe for all skin types and tones and requires no preparation, needles, or recovery time—just a moment of rest under the gentle glow of therapeutic light.
LED Therapy is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses varying wavelengths of light energy to trigger the skin’s natural healing mechanisms. The light penetrates the skin at different depths, where it energizes cells, stimulates collagen production, reduces inflammation, and targets bacteria that cause acne.
Each light color serves a different purpose:
Red light stimulates collagen and elastin, reduces inflammation, and improves circulation.
Blue light targets and destroys acne-causing bacteria.
Green light helps lighten pigmentation, even out skin tone, and reduce sunspots.
Yellow light improves lymphatic flow and reduces redness or irritation.
Unlike lasers or intense pulsed light (IPL), LED Therapy does not use heat, making it comfortable, gentle, and suitable for sensitive or post-treatment skin. It’s commonly used to enhance skin clarity, improve texture, and maintain a bright, youthful glow.
LED Therapy is highly customizable based on your skin’s needs. At PURE MedSpa, we offer various wavelengths and treatment combinations to target different concerns and enhance your overall complexion.
This treatment uses red light to stimulate fibroblast activity in the skin, leading to an increase in collagen and elastin. It helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and promote a firmer, more youthful appearance. It’s ideal for patients looking to address sagging, loss of volume, and dullness.
Blue LED Therapy is specifically designed to combat acne by destroying Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria responsible for breakouts. It also reduces oil production and calms inflamed skin. This is a great option for teens or adults struggling with acne-prone or oily skin.
Green light targets melanocytes, the cells responsible for melanin production. This wavelength is used to lighten hyperpigmentation, sun damage, age spots, and freckles, helping to even out skin tone and enhance brightness.

LET’S GET YOU STARTED
At PURE MedSpa, your journey to revitalized skin and a refreshed appearance begins with a personalized consultation in our modern, welcoming environment. During this one-on-one meeting, our experienced providers will assess your skin concerns, discuss your aesthetic goals, and create a customized treatment plan designed to deliver the results you desire. This is your opportunity to ask any questions, share your concerns, and fully understand what to expect from your chosen laser treatment.
On the day of your appointment, you’ll be welcomed into our state-of-the-art medspa, where our skilled team will ensure you feel relaxed and confident. We’ll walk you through the treatment process once more, ensuring you’re comfortable and fully prepared before we begin.
Throughout your laser session, our advanced technology and expert techniques will work together to precisely target your skin concerns, promoting smoother, more radiant skin without the need for invasive procedures or prolonged downtime. After your treatment, you’ll receive personalized aftercare instructions to support optimal healing and enhance your results. Our goal is to provide you with a safe, effective, and enjoyable experience every step of the way.
Your LED Therapy session at PURE MedSpa begins with a quick consultation to evaluate your skin and select the most appropriate light wavelength. No preparation is needed—just clean, makeup-free skin.
You’ll relax comfortably under the LED device, which hovers above your face or treatment area without touching it. The light is warm but not hot, and most patients describe the session as calming or meditative. Sessions typically last 20–30 minutes and can be added to other treatments like facials or microneedling.
After the treatment, your skin may appear slightly flushed or pink, but there’s no discomfort and no downtime. You can immediately return to your day feeling refreshed and radiant.
There is no recovery time required after LED Therapy. This treatment is completely non-invasive, meaning you can return to work, exercise, or social activities immediately. The light does not harm the skin or cause irritation, even for those with sensitive or post-procedure skin.
To optimize your results, we recommend a series of treatments—typically once or twice a week for a few weeks, followed by maintenance sessions once a month. Your provider will help design a schedule based on your goals and skin type.
No special post-care is required, although it’s always wise to wear sunscreen daily to protect your skin and prolong your results.

LED Therapy works by using specific wavelengths of light energy to penetrate the skin and stimulate natural cellular functions. Red light boosts collagen and elastin production, which helps improve firmness and reduce wrinkles. Blue light targets and destroys acne-causing bacteria. Green light helps with pigmentation and sunspots, while yellow light reduces redness and supports circulation. The light energy is absorbed by the skin cells, triggering a response that accelerates healing, reduces inflammation, and enhances the skin’s appearance—without heat, discomfort, or downtime.
Yes, LED Therapy is safe for all skin types and tones. It’s non-invasive, non-ablative, and doesn’t use UV light, which means there’s no risk of skin damage, hyperpigmentation, or irritation. In fact, it’s a particularly great option for patients with sensitive or reactive skin. Since there is no heat involved, it is also ideal for those who may not be candidates for more aggressive treatments like lasers or chemical peels.
Some patients notice a healthy glow and reduced redness after a single session. However, more noticeable and lasting results typically develop after a series of treatments. Improvements in skin tone, texture, and clarity can begin to show after 4–6 sessions, especially when the therapy is performed weekly or biweekly. For concerns like acne, hyperpigmentation, or fine lines, your provider will likely recommend a longer treatment plan, followed by maintenance sessions once monthly.
The number of sessions depends on your skin condition and your goals. For general skin rejuvenation, a series of 6 to 8 treatments spaced over several weeks is usually sufficient. If you’re targeting acne, you may need up to 10 sessions to thoroughly treat bacteria and reduce inflammation. Anti-aging regimens may include maintenance sessions every 4 to 6 weeks to keep results long-term. During your consultation, your skincare provider will create a personalized plan tailored to your needs.
Absolutely. LED Therapy is one of the most commonly used add-ons in the aesthetic industry due to its ability to enhance and support other treatments. It’s often used after facials, microneedling, chemical peels, or laser procedures to reduce inflammation, accelerate healing, and boost overall results. It’s also popular between sessions of more aggressive procedures to maintain skin clarity and health.
No, LED Therapy is completely painless. Most patients describe it as a relaxing experience. You simply lie back while the LED panel hovers over your treatment area. You may feel gentle warmth from the light, but there’s no heat, stinging, or irritation involved. Many people actually enjoy the treatment as a calming moment of self-care during a busy day.
While the face is the most common treatment area, LED Therapy can be used anywhere on the body. It’s especially effective on the back and chest for acne, the neck and décolletage for aging skin, and the hands for sun damage or skin thinning. Treatments can also be customized to target multiple zones in one session, depending on your goals.
No, there is no downtime associated with LED Therapy. You can return to your regular activities immediately after your session. There’s no peeling, flaking, or sensitivity. However, we recommend applying sunscreen afterward to protect your skin and help maintain your results. Your provider may also suggest pairing LED with hydrating serums or calming masks for even greater benefits.
A typical LED Therapy session lasts between 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated and whether it’s being combined with another treatment. If LED is part of a facial or microneedling session, it may be used at the end of your appointment to enhance healing and boost results. The treatment is efficient and doesn’t require any recovery time, making it easy to fit into your schedule—even on a lunch break.
At Maryland Plastic Surgery & PURE MedSpa, standalone LED Therapy sessions typically cost between $65 and $125. However, many patients choose to bundle this treatment with other services for a discounted rate.
