We got an insight into Hollywood beauty with celeb dermatologist Dr Amanda Hill.
If LED therapy is a new concept to you, prepare to be amazed! I've been using it for years now and can honestly say it's one of the most effective skin treatments I've ever used. It's done amaaazzingg things for my skin, keeping wrinkles at bay and my absolute go-to for stopping breakouts in their track.
LED, aka Light Emmitting Diode is a small computer chip in a glass-like case that emits therapeutic wavelengths of light energy.
Originally discovered by NASA, they found it penetrated deep into tissues and stimulated cell growth and regeneration. It was originally used to heal wounds and surgery scars as your skin converts the light energy into the fuel needed to work effectively.
We spoke with leading dermatologist Dr Amanda Hill, who boasts an impressive celeb clientele including Jessica Alba, Cate Blanchett and Kate Winslet. Not only does Amanda work with global cosmetics brands including Estée Lauder, but she knows all there is to know about skin treatments.
Amanda explained to us why she believes LED light therapy is the least invasive and most effective skin treatment available right now. Plus, it's painless and can be done from home!
What it does all depends on the color of the lights. The most popular is Red, which penetrates 630 nanometers into the skin, microscopically hitting the bloodstream and increasing the elasticity of collagen fibers. In simpler terms, your skin remains supple and looks younger over time.
Blue is antibacterial in nature, so great for treating acne, and Green is the go-to for anti-redness and sensitivity. Yellow is used for draining and Pink for hyperpigmentation and scarring.
You can absolutely notice results after 1 treatment when paired with a good Serum and Moisturizing cream.
I recommend my clients use their at-home LED kits for 10 minutes, three times per week for maximum effectiveness. Results can last up to 3 weeks as it simulates ATP energy.
Other therapies offered in clinics and some at-home formulas are actually quite damaging to the skin.
For example, laser therapy penetrates deeper, but often damages collagen fibers, has negative side effects and is invasive and painful. LED therapy is non-invasive and has healing benefits.
You may need to add LED therapy to your routine, but in the long-run it's better. I encourage my clients to strengthen and support the skin for the long term benefits rather than looking for a quick fix.
A little exfoliation or micro needling beforehand can help open up the pores. I always use the UltraRadiance Collagen Boost Serum during treatment and the Polypeptide Moisturizer afterwards.
Avoid retinol and any form of facial peel as the LED light pushes the product into the bloodstream. I always use the same products as I know they're clean and healing.
None! There are no age limitations (I have used it on acne-prone teenagers). It is, without a doubt, the least invasive and most supportive treatment available right now.
There are truly no side effects, it's completely natural and produces real results.
My favourite LED product right now is actually portable and hand-held, the UltraRadiance™ by evercura. It's been a big part of my personal routine for some months now, and it's something I recommend to all my clients.
It's much, much cheaper than an in-salon treatment but gets the same results, and it has five color variations to cover all desired results.

Very good article, I'm tempted to buy the ultraradiance, can anybody vouch for this, whos bought one and did it work?
I bought this a month ago at full price and have been using this for a while now. I cannot be more happy with the changes in my face. Results are fast, my friends noticed the difference right away and wanted to borrow the device multiple times. I had to show them this link so they could get their own now that the promotion for half off is going on!
OMG guys I had to chime in and just let you guys know that so far I love it!!! I took some before pictures so after a few weeks of using it I’ll take afters and post them! Super easy to use! I just lay down on the couch and watch tv with it for 30min everyday... helped with my acne a ton and its really fun to experiment with the different led color settings!!!
How long does shipping take??
Hey Skyler, got mine after a week or so. Packaged really nice in a custom box with instructions and accessories for the device. Really loving the purchase and the company values. They really do care about their customers and the product shows it! Worth every penny
My order has arrived today! I bought one for my wife. Thank you for this great product! Here is a picture of her using the device lol
Hey Lois, this is what you need instead of spending money on those expensive face stuff you buy every week lol!
Wow, I love that so many celebrities use one, I just ordered two of them. I figured it would be a good present for my mom after seeing the reviews
Is it safe to use, any side effects and how long do you have to use it for
No side effects, except for positive ones that is! You control how long you use it for but I would suggest just to follow the instructions. They give out a plan depending on what you want to acheive. Really easy to follow and their customer support is really helpful.
Im one of those kind of people that thinks seeing IS believing! Naturally, i was pretty sceptical. Before ordering the ultraradiance, i researched and checked online regarding light therapy. Im still having a hard time believing the results.. This is only after almost two weeks.. I just can't believe the results to be this great!
Wow looks amazing, does anyone actually have one and has it been tested?
Yes, my sister and I love it! Totally easy to use and I just wished I had seen their 50 percent promo before I purchased mine at full price!
I just ordered mine! Cannot wait for it.
I want one so bad, going to buy it this weekend when my paycheck hits lol!!
Does anyone know how long the shipping takes? Want to buy one for my friend.
Hey Ethel, mine arrived after about a week
Your friend will be happy! Perfect gift for anyone that wants to fix their wrinkles or improve those stubborn acne problems
Great product and fast shipping! Best of all, my wife loves it
Love this device, I couldnt believe the kardashians use this... now I know their secret to how they look so good!
I was a skeptic ... bought one and was positively surprised. First of all, the price is incredible. Totally easy to operate. My husband is now loving how I look and he just cant stop complementing me.. I highly recommend it. Thank you so much guys!
I absolutely love UltraRadiance, had to get one for my daughter today since she wont stop using mine!
