Your Treatment Experience

Description

Medical LED Phototherapy with three clinically validated wavelengths (Blue 415 nm, Red 633 nm, Near-Infrared 830 nm). Non-invasive. Pain-free. No downtime.

  • ✓ For inflammatory acne & rosacea
  • ✓ Stimulation of collagen synthesis
  • ✓ Accelerated healing after aesthetic procedures
  • ✓ Medical LED system Class IIa (CE certified)

LED phototherapy uses defined wavelengths of visible and near-infrared light to stimulate specific cellular processes in the skin. Unlike cosmetic light applications, medically certified LED therapy works with precisely tuned wavelengths and sufficient energy density to achieve measurable biological effects.

The mechanism of action is called Photobiomodulation: Light photons are absorbed by chromophores in the skin — primarily by cytochrome c oxidase in the mitochondria — stimulating cellular energy production (ATP) and downstream repair and regeneration processes. A method well-supported by over two decades of peer-reviewed research.

“LED phototherapy is one of the few aesthetic methods whose efficacy is supported by hundreds of clinical studies. That is precisely why it is part of our medical treatment spectrum.”Dr. med. Thomas Ackermann

Three Wavelengths — Three Cellular Target Levels

In our practice, we work with three clinically validated wavelengths. Each penetrates the skin to different depths, addressing specific biological processes.

415 Nanometers · Blue

Antibacterial Effect

Blue light is absorbed by porphyrins in Cutibacterium acnes bacteria. Reactive oxygen species kill the bacteria — without systemic antibiotics.

Morton et al. 2005 — Reduction of inflammatory acne lesions by approximately 76% after four weeks.

633 Nanometers · Red

Collagen and Elastin Synthesis

Red light is absorbed in the papillary dermis. It stimulates fibroblasts and increases collagen and elastin production.

Lee et al. 2007 — Increase in skin elasticity by approximately 36%; Sadick 2008 — Improvement in skin texture by up to 79%.

830 Nanometers · Near-Infrared

Cell Regeneration and Healing

NIR reaches the deeper skin layers. It has an anti-inflammatory effect, promotes microcirculation, and supports regeneration after skin stress.

Whelan et al. 2001 — Increase in cell regeneration rate by up to 200%.

When it makes sense — the indications

LED phototherapy is a versatile, well-tolerated procedure. We use it for clearly defined indications — both as a standalone treatment and as a supplement to other therapies.

MedicalAcne

Inflammatory Acne

In active, inflammatory acne, the combination of blue (415 nm) and red (633 nm) works on two levels: antibacterial against C. acnes and anti-inflammatory in the tissue. A sensible option when topical therapies alone are not sufficient or systemic antibiotics should be avoided.

MedicalRosacea

Redness & Rosacea

Red and near-infrared light have a vasostabilizing and anti-inflammatory effect. In combination with primary medical therapy, LED phototherapy can help to alleviate redness flare-ups and calm the skin.

AestheticAnti-Aging

Skin quality & Wrinkles

The stimulation of collagen and elastin synthesis by 633 nm and 830 nm measurably improves skin elasticity, skin texture, and wrinkle depth. Suitable as a standalone course or as an adjunct to other aesthetic treatments.

Medical & AestheticWound Healing

Regeneration after treatments

After microneedling, chemical peels, filler injections, or other procedures, LED phototherapy accelerates healing, reduces redness, and supports a calmer recovery phase.

Two Application Contexts

With us, LED phototherapy is used both by doctors and by trained cosmetic specialists. The indication determines the setting.

Medical-Therapeutic

Therapeutic Application

For medical indications, the treatment takes place during the doctor’s consultation — with diagnostics, individual wavelength selection, and medical follow-up.

  • Acne as part of a therapeutic concept
  • Adjunctive treatment for Rosacea
  • Wound healing after aesthetic procedures
  • Perioral dermatitis and inflammatory skin conditions
Cosmetic-aesthetic

Skin Quality & Wellness

For purely aesthetic concerns, our trained specialists perform the treatment — as a standalone session or as an add-on to other cosmetic treatments.

  • Anti-aging treatments for skin quality improvement
  • and rejuvenation applications
  • Add-on after cosmetic cleanings or peelings
  • Preparation of the skin for other treatments

Treatment Procedure

LED phototherapy is non-invasive, pain-free, and requires no downtime. The treatment is performed while lying down in a relaxed atmosphere.

Skin analysis and wavelength selection

Clarification of indication, skin condition, and possible contraindications. Determination of the appropriate treatment protocol — single wavelength or combination.

Skin cleansing

Thorough cleansing to remove makeup residue, sunscreen, or creams that could block light penetration.

Protective eyewear and positioning

Special protective eyewear for the eyes. You lie comfortably, and the LED panel is positioned at an optimal distance above the treatment area.

Light application

The actual treatment typically lasts 20 to 30 minutes. You will feel no warmth, no pain, no stinging — only visible light. Many patients find the session pleasantly relaxing.

Completion and aftercare

Immediately afterwards, you can resume all your usual activities. Makeup, sun protection, and skincare are possible again right away. No redness, no swelling, no downtime.

Treatment FrequencyFor a clinically effective result, we recommend a course of several sessions — more frequent and shorter intervals for acne and inflammatory indications, and a longer-term approach for anti-aging applications. We will discuss the individual protocol during the consultation.

Realistic Expectations

LED phototherapy acts cumulatively and subtly. A single session alone rarely shows dramatic effects. Measurable changes appear over a complete course of treatment — typically 6 to 12 sessions depending on the indication: a calmer complexion, reduced redness, improved skin elasticity, and a more even skin texture.The method is not a substitute for more invasive therapies (e.g., microneedling, fillers, or medical acne therapy). It is an independent and complementary component in the individual treatment concept.

Contraindications

When not to treat

  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding — insufficient study data
  • Lupus erythematosus — photosensitivity risk
  • Photosensitive eczema and similar photosensitive skin conditions
  • Albinism — lack of natural sun protection
  • Active epilepsy
  • Photosensitizing medications — e.g., certain antibiotics, retinoids, St. John’s wort, diuretics
  • Acute, unclear skin conditions — prior dermatological clarification

During the medical preparation, we clarify your medication and pre-existing conditions to ensure a safe treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sessions do I need?

That depends on the indication. For active acne, we typically recommend 8 to 12 sessions in close succession (2 to 3 per week), followed by a maintenance phase. For anti-aging and skin quality applications, 6 to 10 sessions over several weeks is a common regimen. We will determine the individual protocol after your skin analysis.

Do I feel anything during the treatment?

No — and that’s intentional. LED therapy is non-thermal and non-invasive. You see the light through the closed protective glasses, but you don’t feel any warmth, stinging, or pain. Many patients find the session relaxing.

Are there any downtimes or side effects?

None relevant. Immediately after the treatment, you can resume all your usual activities, apply makeup, exercise, and go into the sun (with sun protection). Rarely, a temporary mild redness may occur, which disappears after a short time.

Can I combine LED with other treatments?

Yes — LED phototherapy complements other aesthetic methods well. Common useful combinations: after microneedling, after chemical peeling, after filler treatments for calming, or accompanying medical acne therapy. Timely coordination is important — we discuss this individually.

How does your LED therapy differ from a home application?

In two points: Firstly, in energy density. Clinical medical class IIa LED devices achieve light outputs that home devices cannot for safety reasons — and only these energy densities trigger the biological effects described in studies. Secondly, in medical diagnostics before and during treatment — this is crucial for medical indications.

What does a treatment cost?

Billing is based on GOÄ. The costs depend on the treatment zone, wavelength combination, and session duration. We transparently discuss the estimated costs during the initial consultation before a course of treatment is planned.

Note on the method: Our practice uses a medically certified LED system of device class IIa (CE-certified for medical application) with three clinically validated wavelengths (Blue 415 nm, Red 633 nm, Near-Infrared 830 nm).
