A growing body of research supports LED light therapy as a non-invasive treatment for melasma, hyperpigmentation and freckles. This therapy uses specific wavelengths of red (600-660nm) and near infrared (800-1000nm) light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular activity.
Despite numerous studies in support of using LED Light Therapy to treat pigmentation disorders, there is significant anecdotal evidence reporting that, for some individuals, LED therapy is making their melasma worse. Whilst it is evident that dosing plays an important part in optimising therapeutic outcomes from LED treatments, a recent review of published data suggests that skin type and tone, particularly based on melanin content, plays a significant role in determining the best treatment protocol.
