LED therapy is proving to be an all-star skin saviour for every kind of beauty woe.
Light therapy has been monumental in treating a broad range of health concerns since the early 1900s. Scientist Niels Ryberg Finsen treated nasty tuberculosis-related skin lesions with ultraviolet radiation (and won a Nobel Prize for it); NASA sent tiny electronic light sources into outer space to enhance the cellular activity in plants; and closer to home, devices that mimic sunlight are also used to make us happier. Turns out, exposing living objects to different wavelengths of the electromagnetic light spectrum has prolific uses. The latest is LED light therapy that can overhaul your skin’s health.
