Illuminating Healing: The Power of RED Light for scars and stretch marks

We all know the sun's impact on our skin – from warm rays to unwanted sunburns and sunspots. But did you know that the power of red light itself can be a powerful tool for skin rejuvenation and healing? At Inkworks SMP Studio, we're embracing the cutting-edge technology of LED light therapy to enhance our camouflage treatments, ensuring you achieve the best possible results.

Why LED? The Power of RED Light

LED (light-emitting diode) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that harnesses the healing power of specific wavelengths of light. Think of it as giving your skin cells a gentle energy boost, encouraging them to work more efficiently.

• Red LED Light: The Collagen Champion:

  • Red light stimulates collagen production, crucial for skin structure, strength, and elasticity.

  • It accelerates wound healing, reduces redness, swelling, and bruising, and alleviates chronic inflammation by improving blood flow.

  • Studies show it also boosts the body's antioxidant defences.

    
    

• Infrared Light: Deep Healing:

  • Working in synergy with red light, infrared light penetrates deeper into the tissue, providing warmth and promoting healing in damaged areas, such as scars and stretch marks.

    
    

• A Spectrum of Benefits:

  • Beyond collagen stimulation, LED therapy can reduce signs of ageing, DNA damage from UV rays, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and skin discolouration.

  • It can also be beneficial for mental health, particularly for those experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

RED Light Skin Preparation: A Game-Changer for Inkless and Camouflage Treatments

Pioneers in the camouflage industry, advocate for incorporating LED skin preparation into all camouflage treatments. At Inkworks Studio, we wholeheartedly agree

• Preparing Damaged Skin:

  • Since scars and stretch marks represent damaged skin, LED therapy "awakens" skin cells, kickstarting the healing process before camouflage procedures.

  • Hard, lumpy scars soften, and the edges of scars and stretch marks become less defined and more blended.

  • Hyperpigmented Scars lighten and fade faster.

    
    

• Enhancing Stretch Mark Treatment:

  • For deep and wide stretch marks, LED therapy rejuvenates both the surrounding skin and the stretch marks themselves, boosting collagen and elastin production.

    
    

• Improving Camouflage Results:

  • By preparing the skin with LED therapy, we minimise the need for extensive needling during camouflage treatments, leading to significantly better end results.

    
    

A Skin-Friendly Approach

Unlike steroid injections and creams, LED therapy offers a gentler, more skin-friendly approach to scar and stretch mark preparation. It's a powerful tool for optimising your skin revision and/or camouflage treatment and achieving a smoother, firmer, and healthier complexion.

Experience the Difference

At Inkworks Studio, we're committed to providing you with the most advanced and effective treatments. Suggested protocols are either prior to a treatment to wake the skin cells up. We also recommend for faster recovery 3 sessions a week during the healing phase.

Celluma PRO

The Celluma PRO is a professional-grade LED light therapy device, significantly more powerful than home-use models. It offers three modes: anti-aging, acne treatment, and pain management, using targeted red, blue, and near-infrared light. We use this in studio because of its flexible design which allows us to get optimal coverage, delivering effective, non-invasive treatments with no downtime.
