When it comes to taking care of your skin, there's probably very little that you wouldn't do to keep your skin young, fresh, and healthy — and that generally includes professional facials every once in a while to give your skin a fresh start free of blemishes and clogged pores. But did you know that you could get a facial that could do all that with just a flash of light?

Beauty technology is improving and changing all the time, and if you want your skin to be the best, it can be it's best to stay on top of new procedures. So, if you're curious about what an LED facial is and how it can work for you, then here's what you need to know.

It Uses Two Kinds of LED Light

As the name might suggest, this isn't a facial that works on the power of natural ingredients and moisturizing creams; instead, it harnesses the power of LED light in order to do its work. The LED wand projects red LED light into the layers of your skin that sit below the surface, boosting your collagen production. It also projects blue LED for a completely different purpose: to rid your skin of impurities.

It Helps Clear Your Skin

If you suffer from persistent acne and redness in your face, then this facial is perfect for you. The blue LED light, in particular, helps to kill acne, which is incredibly helpful if your breakouts tend to dot your face with a ton of pimples. This clears up the redness in your face, giving you a more even skin tone along with clearer skin in general.

The red LED light clears your skin of fine lines and wrinkles, as it helps to stimulate your collagen production. The overall effect is that of younger looking skin which, when combined with the clear, even skin that the blue light gives, gives you a clear, beautiful, young-looking face.

It Doesn't Happen Immediately

Like all good things, however, these benefits come to those who wait — at least for a little while. You need a series of about six or seven LED treatments to really see the full effects of this type of facial and should keep it up with touch-up LED facials every few months. If you keep at it, however, this simple procedure can guarantee you younger skin for years to come.
