LED Light Therapy Facial: what it is and who it’s for
An LED light therapy facial uses specific wavelengths of light to support the look of your skin. At Vearitea Wellness Spa your skin is cleansed and exfoliated first, then you rest under red and near-infrared light, blue light, or a combination chosen for your skin. On our menu it is the LED Skin Tightening Facial: 60 minutes, warm, quiet and non-invasive.
Red and near-infrared light are commonly used for a smoother, firmer and more radiant look, so they suit dull or tired skin and early fine lines. Blue light at 415 nm is used for blemish-prone skin. Because the session is gentle and has no downtime, it also suits sensitive skin and busy schedules. Results build gradually over a series and vary from person to person.
We use in-spa devices rather than a home mask. The Perfectio X (red and infrared light) and the Sapphire X (blue light at 415 nm) are FDA-cleared Class II devices, and our FDA-cleared Elevare devices work in the 640–840 nm red and infrared range. A trained skincare specialist sets up every session at our Hulen Mall spa.
LED Light Therapy Facial benefits
A smoother, more radiant look
Red and near-infrared light are widely used to support a smoother, brighter-looking complexion over a series.
Support for blemish-prone skin
Blue light at 415 nm is used for blemish-prone skin and pairs well with a deep cleanse.
Gentle and relaxing
Warm, quiet light with no needles and no peeling. Many clients find it the calmest hour of their week.
FDA-cleared devices
Perfectio X and Sapphire X are FDA-cleared Class II devices; the clearance covers the device, not a particular cosmetic result.
How LED light therapy works
LED light therapy uses light-emitting diodes to deliver narrow, specific bands of light to the skin. Different wavelengths reach different depths: blue light at 415 nm stays near the surface, while red and near-infrared light, in the 640–840 nm range on our Elevare devices, travel deeper. The light is absorbed by skin cells, and there is no UV involved, so it is not a tanning treatment.
Research into how skin responds to light is ongoing. Red and near-infrared light are commonly used for a smoother, firmer and more radiant look, and blue light is commonly used for blemish-prone skin. Changes are gradual, which is why a series is recommended, and they fade without maintenance. FDA clearance applies to the device and is not a promise of a particular result; LED facials are cosmetic and are not intended to diagnose or treat any disease.
What to expect during your LED light therapy facial
Before
Come with clean skin if you can, and tell us about epilepsy, light sensitivity or any medication that makes your skin sensitive to light. Your specialist cleanses and exfoliates your skin, talks through your goals, and chooses red and near-infrared light, blue light or a combination for your session.
During
You lie back with eye protection while the light works. It feels gently warm, and there is nothing to do but rest, so many clients doze off. The light phase is part of a 60-minute appointment that includes cleansing and exfoliation, and your specialist stays close by and checks in with you throughout.
After
There is no downtime and no peeling. Skin may look slightly flushed for a short while, and you can apply makeup and go straight back to your day. Use sunscreen, keep your routine simple, and plan your next facial for one to two weeks later; a series gives the best chance of a visible change.

Red light or blue light?
Red and near-infrared light are commonly used for a smoother, firmer and more radiant look, so they suit dull, tired or maturing skin. Blue light at 415 nm is used for blemish-prone skin. Many clients receive a combination, and your specialist chooses the mix after looking at your skin. If breakouts are your main concern, our acne facial pairs a deep cleanse with a blue-light session.
In-spa LED or an at-home mask?
At-home LED masks are convenient and designed for frequent short sessions. An in-spa facial pairs professional devices with a cleanse and exfoliation, so the light reaches freshly prepared skin, and a specialist adjusts the plan as your skin changes. Many clients use both: a series of in-spa facials, with a home device in between.

LED Light Therapy Facial FAQs
How much does LED therapy cost?
Our LED light therapy facial, listed on the menu as the LED Skin Tightening Facial, is $250 for 60 minutes, including cleansing and exfoliation. Facial packages bundle 2, 3 or 4 LED facials with take-home daily products for $550, $800 or $1,100. Affirm financing is available.
Does LED light therapy really work?
Research is ongoing, and results vary. Red and near-infrared light are commonly used for a smoother, firmer and more radiant look, and blue light is commonly used for blemish-prone skin. Any change tends to build gradually over a series of sessions, not after one visit, and the effect needs maintenance. LED facials are cosmetic and do not replace care from a dermatologist.
What are the potential downsides of LED therapy?
For many people the downsides are small: results are gradual, they need a series and maintenance, and a few people notice brief redness or warmth. LED is not recommended with epilepsy, light sensitivity or medication that makes skin sensitive to light, and the eyes should always be protected, which is why we provide eye protection for every session.
What does Mayo Clinic say about red light therapy?
We cannot speak for Mayo Clinic, so we recommend reading their guidance directly. In general, medical sources describe red light therapy as an area of active research: some studies suggest benefits for the look of skin, but results vary and more research is needed. That is why we describe our LED facials as cosmetic, with gradual and temporary results.
Is LED light therapy safe?
LED light therapy is generally well tolerated when it is used correctly. Our devices emit no UV light, every session is run by a trained skincare specialist, and eye protection is worn throughout. We screen for epilepsy, light sensitivity, photosensitizing medication and pregnancy first. If you have a medical condition, check with your physician before booking.
Does an LED facial hurt?
No. The light feels gently warm, and there are no needles, no numbing and no peeling. You rest with your eyes protected throughout, and many clients find it one of the most relaxing treatments on our menu. You can return to your normal routine, including makeup, straight afterwards.
How often should I get an LED facial?
A typical starting point is a series of four to six sessions, often one to two weeks apart, then maintenance about once a month; your specialist will tailor the plan. Our facial packages of 2, 3 or 4 LED facials make a series easier to plan. Results are gradual and vary from person to person.
Can I combine an LED facial with other treatments?
Yes. LED pairs well with our other facials. Many clients alternate it with the RF Face & Neck Facial for a firmer-looking face, or book it after a deep cleanse when breakouts are the concern. We will plan the order and spacing of treatments with you, and we will not combine anything that does not suit your skin.
Are your LED devices FDA-cleared?
Yes. The Perfectio X, which uses red and infrared light, and the Sapphire X, which uses blue light at 415 nm, are FDA-cleared Class II devices, and our Elevare red and infrared devices are FDA-cleared as well. FDA clearance relates to the device itself. It is not a promise of a particular cosmetic result, and results vary from person to person.
