What Is LED Light Therapy?
LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate natural processes in your skin. Unlike IPL or laser, LED doesn’t damage the skin’s surface — it works by delivering light energy that your cells absorb and convert into cellular energy, supporting healing, collagen production, and inflammation reduction.
At Equinox, we use a clinical-grade LED device that delivers significantly more power and consistent wavelength output than at-home LED masks or handheld gadgets. That means deeper penetration, more effective treatment, and faster results.
A session takes around 20 minutes. You simply lie back and relax while the LED panel is positioned over the treatment area. The only sensation is a gentle warmth — many of our clients actually fall asleep during their session.
How Different Light Wavelengths Help Your Skin
Our LED device offers multiple wavelengths, each targeting different skin concerns:
Red Light (633nm) — Stimulates collagen and elastin production. May help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture, and support overall skin rejuvenation. Suitable for all skin types.
Blue Light (415nm) — Targets the bacteria (P. acnes) responsible for inflammatory acne. May help reduce active breakouts and excess oil production. Often recommended as part of an acne management plan.
Near-Infrared (830nm) — Penetrates deeper to support tissue repair and reduce inflammation. Often used post-treatment to accelerate healing after IPL, skin needling, chemical peels, and other procedures.
Your therapist will select the appropriate wavelength — or combination — based on what your skin needs.
How much does LED light therapy cost in Perth?
LED light therapy at Equinox Clinic in Belmont (Perth) is $60 for a standalone session or $40 when added to any other treatment. It’s also included at no extra cost with every microdermabrasion session ($120).
What’s the difference between clinical LED and at-home devices?
Clinical-grade LED devices deliver substantially higher power output and more consistent wavelengths than consumer devices. This means deeper penetration, more effective cellular stimulation, and faster results.
Is LED light therapy painful?
Not at all. LED is completely painless and non-invasive. You may feel a gentle warmth. Most clients find it genuinely relaxing.
Can I combine LED with other treatments?
Absolutely. LED is one of the most versatile add-on treatments available. It pairs beautifully with skin needling, chemical peels, IPL, HydraFacial, and microdermabrasion. Add LED to any treatment for just $40.
Is LED safe for all skin types?
Yes. LED light therapy is safe for all skin types, including sensitive and reactive skin. It doesn’t damage the skin’s surface and has minimal risk of side effects.
How Does Professional LED Compare to At-Home Masks?
If you’ve been eyeing an at-home LED mask, here’s how they stack up against clinical treatment:| Clinical LED (Equinox) | At-Home LED Devices | |
|---|---|---|
| Power output | High (clinical grade) | Low (consumer grade) |
| Wavelength consistency | Calibrated and consistent | Variable |
| Penetration depth | Deep (reaches dermal layer) | Shallow (mostly epidermal) |
| Treatment time | 20 min | 10–30 min |
| Professional assessment | Yes — wavelength selected for your concern | No |
| Cost per session | $60 standalone / $40 add-on | ~$5–10 per use (after device purchase) |
| Results timeline | Faster visible improvement | Slower, subtle changes |
At-home devices can complement professional treatments as a maintenance tool — but they can’t match the power and precision of clinical-grade LED for specific skin concerns.
Who Is LED Light Therapy For?
LED light therapy may be a good fit if you’re experiencing:
- Post-treatment recovery — Speed up healing after IPL, skin needling, peels, or other procedures
- Skin rejuvenation — Support collagen production and overall skin quality
- Acne and breakouts — Blue light targets acne-causing bacteria
- Redness and inflammation — Calm reactive, sensitised, or rosacea-prone skin
- Dull or tired-looking skin — Boost cellular energy for a refreshed complexion
- General wellness — A relaxing, low-commitment way to maintain your skin
LED suits all skin types, including sensitive skin. There are virtually no contraindications, though we advise caution during pregnancy (as a precaution, due to limited research) and for anyone taking photosensitising medications.
Does LED light therapy actually work?
Clinical-grade LED devices deliver significantly more power than at-home devices and have been shown to stimulate collagen production, reduce inflammation, and target acne-causing bacteria. Results depend on the concern being addressed and the number of sessions.
How often should I get LED light therapy?
For best results, weekly or twice-weekly sessions are recommended initially, particularly for acne or post-treatment recovery. For general maintenance, fortnightly or monthly sessions work well.

Individual results vary. This treatment is not suitable for everyone. A consultation is recommended.
How long is a session?
About 20 minutes. You can combine it with other treatments during the same visit without significantly extending your appointment.
How many sessions do I need?
Depends on your concern. For post-treatment recovery, a single session can help. For acne management or rejuvenation, a course of 8 sessions (once or twice weekly) is typically recommended. Your therapist will advise.
Can LED treat acne scars?
LED can help improve overall skin quality and support healing, but for established acne scarring, skin needling, chemical peels, or Dermafrac are more effective. LED works brilliantly as an add-on to those treatments to support the healing process. See Scar Revision Perth
Can LED help with rosacea?
LED can help calm redness and inflammation associated with rosacea. The near-infrared wavelength is particularly soothing for reactive skin. For visible blood vessels, IPL vascular treatment may be more effective. See IPL Vascular Perth
Is there any downtime?
None whatsoever. You can apply makeup and carry on with your day immediately. It’s one of the few treatments with genuinely zero downtime.
Can I get LED during pregnancy?
As a precaution, we generally advise against LED during pregnancy due to limited research. Let us know and we’ll suggest alternative options.
What should I expect to feel during treatment?
A gentle warmth on your skin, but nothing uncomfortable. Many of our clients find it deeply relaxing — don’t be surprised if you drift off.
