Does LED light therapy help with dark spots?
Dark spots, and hyperpigmentation in general, are prime indications for the use of red and near-infrared light therapy. Red and near-infrared light, either from an LED or low-level laser light source, exerts an anti-inflammatory and a skin metabolism-boosting effect (due to stimulation of mitochondria).
Over several sessions, this results in hyperpigmentation reduction. Typically, 8-16 sessions are recommended for best results, as red/infrared phototherapy is a gentle treatment that provides natural, gradual results in a safe manner - as opposed to hyped-up “instant” one-off miracle treatments, which quite often have serious adverse reactions.
What LED treatment should I be using for dark spots and hyperpigmentation?
Just make sure you have treatment at a reputable clinic with the best possible equipment and well-trained therapists, for best results.
At our clinic, for hyperpigmentation we use high-power LED phototherapy with a mix of for red and near-infrared at a total power density of 60-120mW/cm2, for about 20 minutes, 2-3 times a week, for 8-16 sessions (for more stubborn cases, a few more sessions may be needed).
The mix of red (633nm) and near-infrared (830nm) light components is determined by each individual client’s needs.
Beware of cheap machines and cheap LED masks that may not provide what they state “on the tin. For example, with such devices, light wavelengths and power densities may be way off, making treatment inaccurate, ineffective or even unsafe.

Have a treatment in London with the cellulite experts
At LipoTherapeia we have specialised 100% in skin tightening and cellulite reduction for more than 25 years and 24,000+ sessions.
This is all we study and practise every day and have researched and tried hands-on all the important skin tightening equipment and their manufacturers.
As strong, deep acting radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation are the technologies of choice for skin tightening and cellulite reduction, we have invested in the best RF/ultrasound technologies in the world.
(Of course, we keep looking for new technologies every day and if/when a better technology materialises we will be the first to provide it. However, we will never follow the latest ineffective gimmick, just because it’s good marketing to offer the latest hyped up - yet ineffective and/or unsafe treatment.)
Furthermore, over the last two decades we have developed advanced RF and cavitation treatment protocols in order to make the most of our technologies, for maximum results, naturally and safely.
And for even better, faster results, we now combine our RF/ultrasound treatments with high-power red/infrared light LED treatment.
Our radiofrequency/ultrasound/LED treatments are comfortable, pain-free, downtime-free, injection-free, 99.5%+ safe and always non-invasive.
(No unsafe and ineffective RF microneedling or HIFU and no safe but ineffective acoustic wave therapy, superficial RF (bipolar/tripolar/multipolar etc), low power RF/cavitation, electrical muscle stimulation, lymphatic massage, cupping, dry brushing and no ridiculous bum bum creams.)
Our focus is on honest, realistic, science-based treatment, combined with caring, professional service, with a smile.
We will be pleased to see you, assess your cellulite, skin laxity or fibrosis, listen to your story, discuss your case and offer you the best possible treatment.
