What is an LED Facial and What Does It do?
An LED Facial, also known as Light Emitting Diode therapy, is a revolutionary FDA-approved skincare treatment that uses varying wavelengths of light, including red and blue, to improve the face’s overall appearance and health.
But there’s even more science at work behind the scenes: Red wavelength LED has been proven to transfer healing energy into cells, stimulating collagen production and helping to boost your mood, while blue wavelength LED has been proven to kill bacteria that cause acne.
At Mod Facial, we recommend LED therapy for anti-aging, correcting discoloration, healing acne, and reversing the effects of sun damage, among other common skin concerns.

Is an LED Facial Right For Me?
The Mod Facial LED modality is perfect for anyone who wants to revamp their skin tone, texture, and overall facial appearance. As a gentle, non-invasive treatment, LED facials are safe for most skin types and tones, but are particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with aging skin, wrinkles and fine lines, active acne breakouts, acne scars, and inflammatory skin conditions.
However, we do recommend that pregnant women and individuals with certain health conditions or those on specific medications that increase light sensitivity should call our Mod Facial team before undergoing LED facial treatments.
