LED Light Therapy Sunshine Coast

LED light therapy uses different wavelengths of light directed at the skin. It may be considered for concerns such as redness, sensitivity, or changes in skin tone. Suitability is reviewed on an individual basis.

At Dr Fraser-Kirk’s clinic on the Sunshine Coast, the process begins with a consultation where your skin and history are assessed. Dr Fraser-Kirk and his team take time to discuss possible options and explain what each approach may involve. The focus is on careful assessment, open discussion, and providing clear information to support informed decisions.

What Is LED Light Therapy?

LED light therapy involves the use of specific light wavelengths applied to the skin for set periods of time. Different types of light may be selected depending on the concern being addressed, such as red or blue wavelengths. Treatment plans are tailored during consultation based on individual needs and suitability.

Concerns That May Be Addressed

LED light therapy may be considered for patients with a range of skin-related concerns. These may include:

• Facial redness
• Skin sensitivity
• Changes in skin tone or texture
• Breakout-prone skin

Suitability is checked during the consultation, and treatment options are explained based on your individual needs.

LED Light Treatment Options

At Dr Fraser-Kirk’s clinic on the Sunshine Coast, LED light therapy can be used on different areas such as the face, neck, chest, and hands. Specific wavelengths of light are directed at the skin, and each wavelength has a different purpose:

• Blue light therapy – May be considered for breakout-prone skin.
• Red light therapy – May be recommended for general skin concerns and to support overall skin health.
• Near-infrared light therapy – May be used to reach deeper layers of the skin.
• Combined light therapy – Different wavelengths may be used together, depending on the concern.

LED devices are adjusted to suit each individual’s needs, with the wavelength and intensity matched to the concern being addressed. LED light therapy may be offered on its own or as part of a broader plan, and suitability is reviewed during consultation. During this time, Dr Fraser-Kirk and his team explain the available options, how sessions are carried out, and what patients can expect throughout the process.

Treatment Process

The process starts with a consultation where the skin is assessed and your history is reviewed. If LED therapy is considered appropriate, a plan will be outlined, including the number of sessions that may be recommended. Information is also provided on aftercare and any follow-up that may be required.

During each session, the light device is positioned over the skin while you remain seated or lying down. The length and number of sessions can vary depending on individual needs. Some patients may require multiple sessions, and this will be discussed as part of your plan.

Aftercare and Recovery

Recovery following LED light therapy can vary depending on individual skin type and circumstances, and patients may experience temporary redness or sensitivity after a session. These possibilities are discussed during consultation so that expectations are clear. Guidance is also provided on steps to follow after treatment.

Aftercare may involve protecting the skin from sun exposure, avoiding certain skincare products for a short time, and maintaining good hydration. Recovery time differs between patients and may depend on the areas treated. Patients are given clear instructions to follow after each session to help support the healing process.

Risks and Complications

All treatments carry potential risks and complications. For LED light therapy, these may include:

• Temporary redness or sensitivity
• Dryness or irritation
• Temporary skin tightness or warmth in the treated area
• Uneven response between treated areas
• Pigmentation changes (lightening or darkening of the skin)
• Allergic or adverse reaction to products used
• Infection if the skin barrier is already compromised

These risks are explained during consultation, and suitability is considered on an individual basis.
