LED light therapy has become one of the most sought-after non-invasive skin treatments in Australia, thanks to its ability to target a range of skin concerns without any downtime. At Results Laser Clinic, we offer advanced LED light therapy treatments to help rejuvenate your skin, reduce inflammation, and boost overall skin health. But one of the most common questions we get is: how often should you use LED light therapy for best results?
Let’s explore the ideal frequency and what you can expect from a consistent treatment plan.
What Is LED Light Therapy?
LED (Light Emitting Diode) light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to target skin issues at a cellular level. Different colours of light are used for different purposes:
Red light: Stimulates collagen production, reduces wrinkles, and promotes healing.
Blue light: Kills acne-causing bacteria and reduces breakouts.
Yellow light: Reduces redness and soothes inflammation.
Near-infrared light: Penetrates deeply to support circulation and tissue repair.
The treatment is painless, suitable for all skin types, and doesn’t involve any harsh chemicals or invasive procedures. It’s also a perfect add-on to other skincare treatments offered at Results Laser Clinic, such as chemical peels or skin needling.
How Often Should You Use LED Light Therapy?
For optimal results, the frequency of LED light therapy depends on your skin goals and the condition being treated.
For Acne and Breakouts:
If you're targeting acne, blue LED light therapy can be used 2–3 times per week during the initial treatment phase. This helps clear active breakouts and reduce bacteria on the skin. After 4–6 weeks of consistent use, you may reduce treatments to once a week for maintenance.
For Anti-Ageing and Collagen Boosting:
To stimulate collagen production and reduce fine lines, red LED light therapy works best when used 2–3 times per week for the first month. After this, you can shift to weekly sessions to maintain results and support ongoing skin rejuvenation.
For Post-Treatment Recovery:
LED light therapy is often used after more intensive treatments like microneedling or laser procedures. In this case, one session immediately post-treatment followed by 1–2 sessions per week can accelerate healing and reduce inflammation.
For General Skin Maintenance:
If you’re using LED light therapy as a preventive measure or to maintain healthy skin, a weekly or bi-weekly session is usually sufficient.
When Will You See Results?
Many clients at Results Laser Clinic report an improvement in skin tone, texture, and clarity after just 3–4 sessions. However, more significant and lasting changes—especially for acne, pigmentation, and fine lines—typically become noticeable after 6–8 sessions. The key is consistency.
Can You Overdo LED Light Therapy?
While LED light therapy is gentle and non-invasive, more is not always better. Overuse may lead to diminishing returns or skin sensitivity. That’s why we recommend sticking to a treatment plan designed by our experienced skin therapists at Results Laser Clinic. Each session is tailored to your skin’s unique needs, ensuring you get the best possible results without irritation.
Maximise Your Results with a Professional LED Plan
At-home LED masks have gained popularity, but they often lack the intensity and precision of medical-grade devices used at Results Laser Clinic. Our trained professionals use advanced technology to ensure safe, effective, and targeted treatments.
We also combine LED light therapy with a range of other skin services to address multiple concerns in one plan—whether it's ageing, acne, or dullness.
