Does LED light therapy help with vitamin D production?
Unfortunately, not at all. Vitamin D3 (i.e. cholecalciferol or simply Vitamin D) is synthesised after UV-B ultraviolet radiation (295-315nm) skin exposure.
LED light therapy treatments do not involved any UV light emission (<400nm wavelength). Most LED treatments involve red (~625-750nm) or near infrared (~750-2500nm) light. Some LED treatments also involve blue light, which is at about 400-500nm - still quite far from UV-B or even UV-A radiation.
So there is not a chance of synthesising Vitamin D if you have an LED phototherapy treatment.
How about blue light LED therapy?
The good news with that is that there is no danger of getting any unwanted harmful UV radiation from blue LED light therapy either, as long as you have blue LED light treatment at a reputable clinic with high-end equipment.
(Some low-end blue LED phototherapy machines may easily veer into the UV-A range (~315-400nm), due to cheap, low quality, low tolerance LEDs being used.)
For reference, low-pressure tanning booths produce mainly UV-A light (still not good for Vitamin D production), while high-pressure tanning booths produce mainly UV-B, which is good for Vitamin D synthesis but more harmful in high doses (the lower the wavelength, the higher the UV light energy and potential for harm).
Have a treatment in London with the cellulite experts
At LipoTherapeia we have specialised 100% in skin tightening and cellulite reduction for more than two decades and 20,000+ 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.
The Cellulite School™: Get advanced training in cellulite reduction and skin tightening
Why train with The Cellulite School™?
We all know that training in cellulite reduction and skin tightening is as basic as it gets. It is typically a 4-6 hour training, involving only basic instruction from the manufacturer on how operators can use the machine; lots of myths, erroneous information and misconceptions; and some basic health and safety on how to use the machine.
There is no proper, real training in the science or cellulite, skin tightening, radiofrequency, ultrasound and all related technologies is non-existent - worldwide.
Do you want to deeply understand radiofrequency, ultrasound cavitation, LED phototherapy, cellulite and skin tightening?
Get proper training based on 25-year theory and practical application of cellulite reduction and valuable insights from 24,000+ sessions and 4,200+ clients.
Now you can get instant access to our expertise and save yourself literally thousands of pounds, dollars or euros of expensive mistakes and thousands of hours of study, research and practical application by attending one of our half-day, 1-day, 2-day or 3-day professional consultancy / training courses.
Understand deeply - and get properly trained in - the science of radiofrequency, ultrasound cavitation, LED phototherapy, cellulite and skin tightening and confidently offer your clients the safest, strongest and most effective treatment possible.
