LED Light Therapy in Holly Springs, NC
Some of the most effective skin treatments are also some of the gentlest. LED light therapy is a soothing, non invasive treatment that uses visible light and near infrared light to support healthier, calmer, more radiant-looking skin. No needles, no downtime, and no discomfort. At La Fleur Aesthetics, LED therapy is one of the newest additions to our growing wellness offerings, designed to complement your favorite facials and medspa treatments or simply give your skin a restorative reset on its own.
Whether you’re managing breakouts, easing redness after a procedure, or just craving a calming self-care ritual, LED light therapy can be a beautiful fit for a wide range of skin concerns.
What Is LED Light Therapy?
LED light therapy (short for light emitting diode therapy) is a skin treatment that uses different wavelengths of light to trigger a response inside skin cells. Unlike lasers, which use a single concentrated beam, LED light devices emit a broader, low level light across the visible light spectrum. Because the light source is gentle and non invasive, it’s generally safe for most skin types and requires no recovery time.
You may have heard of LED light therapy in the context of a dermatologist’s office, where it’s often used in clinical and aesthetic dermatology, or as an at-home device. At La Fleur, we offer both an in-office, professional-grade option and take-home devices, so you can choose the level of care that fits your routine.
How Different Wavelengths of Light Work on the Skin
Not all LED light is the same, and different wavelengths are used to treat different skin concerns:
- Red light therapy (red LED light) penetrates the skin at deeper levels than blue light and is widely used to support collagen production, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and calm inflammation. Red led light therapy is a favorite for overall skin rejuvenation and is often used to treat sun damage and support wound healing.
- Blue light therapy (blue LED light) works closer to the skin’s surface and is best known as a treatment to treat acne. Blue light targets acne causing bacteria beneath the skin, helping calm current breakouts and reduce future flare-ups.
- Near infrared light reaches the deepest layers of the skin and is often paired with red light to support circulation, ease inflammation, and encourage the skin’s natural repair process.
Because each wavelength reaches different depths of the skin, many LED light therapy devices combine red, blue, and near infrared light so a single treatment can address multiple skin concerns at once.
Our LED Light Therapy Devices
Celluma LED Therapy
Our Celluma Pro Plus is a professional-grade LED light therapy device that is FDA cleared to treat acne, signs of aging, and discomfort, and to support body contouring. It’s a wonderful stand-alone wellness treatment or a relaxing finishing touch after a facial or medspa service. Sessions typically run 10 to 20 minutes, making it an easy addition to almost any visit.
Celluma can be enjoyed on its own as a calming, restorative treatment, or added on to services such as:
- Facials
- SaltFacial® Skin Renewal
- Microneedling, laser treatments, and other medspa treatments
- Other wellness treatments as part of your ritual
SaltFacial LED Phototherapy
If you’re already a fan of the SaltFacial, its final step is LED phototherapy. A light therapy treatment designed to reduce redness and inflammation, stimulate cellular turnover, increase circulation, and support healing. This step can also be added immediately following other procedures, such as laser treatments, microneedling, or chemical peels, to help calm the skin and encourage a smoother recovery. The SaltFacial LED phototherapy step takes about 20 minutes and is a lovely way to close out your treatment.

For clients who want to continue their glow between visits, we also carry Omnilux LED masks in our online shop. These at home devices bring many of the same benefits as our in-office light therapy devices into your everyday routine. An easy, low risk way to maintain your results between appointments.
Frequently Asked Questions About LED Light Therapy
LED light therapy uses light emitting diode technology to deliver visible light and near infrared light to the skin, encouraging skin cells to repair and renew themselves. It’s a light therapy treatment that can be used to treat acne, redness, fine lines, and other common skin concerns, and it’s offered both as a light therapy device in a professional setting and as at home devices for daily use.
Yes, LED light therapy is generally considered safe across a wide range of skin tones, including darker skin tone and lighter skin tones alike, because it uses low level light rather than heat or ablative energy to work on the skin. That said, everyone’s skin is different, so we always recommend a quick consultation so we can review your skin history and any skin conditions before your first session.
At home devices, like our Omnilux LED masks, are designed for gentle, regular use and are a wonderful way to maintain results between visits. Professional light therapy devices, like our Celluma Pro Plus, typically use a stronger, more concentrated light source and combine multiple wavelengths, which is why many clients enjoy pairing both: professional treatments in-office and other devices at home for daily upkeep.
Yes, LED light therapy is considered one of the gentlest cosmetic procedures available today. Because it’s non invasive treatment with no needles, no anesthesia, and no downtime, it’s often chosen by clients who want visible skin benefits without the recovery time associated with more invasive skin treatment options.
LED and low level laser therapy have been studied as a supportive treatment for certain types of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia, by stimulating hair follicles to support a healthier growth cycle. According to the Cleveland Clinic, light-based treatments are among the options sometimes used to help manage hair loss, though results and appropriate candidates vary. If hair growth is a goal of yours, our team can help you understand whether LED therapy makes sense as part of a broader plan.
LED light therapy works gradually. Rather than delivering an overnight transformation, it supports your skin cells over time, so many clients begin noticing calmer, more even-looking skin after a handful of sessions, with more noticeable results building over about a month of regular treatments. Because LED therapy is cumulative, follow up treatments are part of what makes it effective. The more consistently you use it, the more your skin can benefit.
This is one of the reasons LED therapy pairs so beautifully with your existing skincare routine: it’s a low-commitment, feel-good treatment you can build into your regular visits or your at-home ritual, whichever fits your lifestyle best.
