What is LED light therapy?
LED (light-emitting diode) therapy uses panels of low-level light at set wavelengths. Unlike lasers, the light does not heat or injure the skin; instead it is thought to act on skin cells directly. Blue light is mainly used for acne because it targets the bacteria involved in breakouts, while red and near-infrared light are used to calm redness, support healing and encourage collagen.
At Egg Clinic, the LED regeneration light is most often combined with other treatments, for example after Potenza, laser toning or an extraction facial, to soothe the skin and support recovery. It can also be booked on its own as part of a regular skin-care routine.
Who is a good candidate for LED therapy?
- Mild to moderate acne or frequent breakouts
- Redness, sensitivity or irritated skin
- Recovery after lasers, peels or microneedling
- Dull, tired-looking skin
- Anyone who wants a gentle treatment with no downtime
LED therapy is not suitable for everyone. People with light-sensitive conditions, those taking photosensitising medication, or anyone with a history of light-triggered seizures should tell the doctor first, and some may be advised to avoid it. It also will not replace medical treatment for severe acne or deep scarring, which usually needs a stronger plan.

Before & after at Egg Clinic
This photo shows a Joule BBL result. LED therapy works gradually and is often combined with other treatments.
What results can I expect?
LED therapy works gradually. Many people notice calmer, more even-looking skin after a few sessions, and acne-prone skin often benefits most from a regular course. When used after lasers or microneedling, it is mainly there to soothe and support healing rather than to produce a dramatic change on its own. Results vary from person to person, so the doctor will suggest how often to come back based on your skin and the other treatments in your plan.
