LED Light Therapy Before and After. What It Can Look Like.

Every caseWhat LED Light Therapy Does to the Skin, by Colour.
LED light therapy is a treatment in which the skin is exposed to specific wavelengths of light from a clinical panel, without heat or ultraviolet. Red light is used to calm the skin and support collagen, blue light to target the bacteria involved in breakouts, and near infrared for deeper healing. At Club 116 in Manhattan it costs $75 for a 20 minute session and has no downtime.
Different colours of light reach different depths. Blue light stays near the surface, where the bacteria that drive breakouts live, and disrupts them. Red light reaches the layer where collagen is made and nudges the cells there to work harder, which over time reads as calmer, more even skin. Near infrared, which you cannot see, goes deeper still and is used after procedures to support recovery. The panel sits a short distance from the face, you wear goggles, and the sensation is a mild warmth. A single session gives calmer skin the same day. The effect builds with frequency, which is why weekly sessions over six to eight weeks are the plan for tone, breakouts and fine lines, and why members use it as a maintenance treatment on a lunch break. It is a supportive treatment, not a medical one, and it does not replace prescription care for a skin condition.
Who it is for
Redness and rosacea prone skin, breakouts, healing after a treatment such as microneedling or a peel, and anyone who wants a maintenance treatment that fits inside a lunch hour. It is also the cheapest way to try something at this practice before committing to anything larger.
Why do it here
A clinician reads your skin under proper light before choosing the setting, red, blue, near infrared or a combination, rather than running the same programme on everyone. Nobody works on commission. If a facial would do more for your skin than a standalone LED session, or if a cheaper route is simply a change to what you use at home, you hear it first. Start with one, decide the rest later.
Before, During and After.
A short read of your skin under proper light, your history, any medicines, including any that make skin sensitive to light, and what you use at home. The clinician chooses the wavelength or combination for what they see. If LED is better added to a facial than booked on its own that day, we say so before we start.
A cleanse, then goggles on and the panel is positioned over the face. The light runs for the set time on the chosen setting. It feels warm and most people find it calming enough to nearly sleep. A serum and sunscreen finish it. When added to a facial, LED is the last ten minutes, after the mask.
Calmer, slightly brighter skin the same day. No redness, no peeling, no restrictions on makeup.
Calmer skin the same day. Regular use, weekly over six to eight weeks, is where tone, breakouts and fine lines improve, because the effect builds rather than arrives. After that, most people maintain with a session every week or two, or monthly as part of a facial.
Read This Before You Book.
Downtime and aftercare
None. Keep it simple for the rest of the day: sunscreen, no acids or retinol that night, and no sauna or hard training until tomorrow. There is nothing to protect and nothing to wait for.
Not for you if
You have an active cold sore, open lesions or a skin infection, a sunburn, or you have used isotretinoin (a prescription acne medicine that thins the skin) in the last six months. Tell the clinician about any medicine that makes you sensitive to light, and about pregnancy; LED itself is generally considered gentle, and each product used alongside it is checked.

LED Light Therapy Facial in NYC: Questions People Ask First.
How much does LED light therapy cost in NYC?
At Club 116 on Central Park South a 20 minute LED session is $75, and members pay $60. Added to any facial it is ten minutes at the end. Starter members get one session a month included. No consultation fee, no deposit to book.
How often should you do LED light therapy, and how long does it take to work?
Weekly for six to eight weeks is the plan that changes tone, breakouts and fine lines; a single session gives calmer skin the same day. After the initial run, a session every week or two, or monthly inside a facial, maintains it.
Does red light or blue light work better for my skin?
Red is for redness, calming and collagen support. Blue is for breakouts. Near infrared is for healing after a procedure. Most sessions here combine two, and the clinician chooses after reading your skin under proper light rather than asking you to pick.
Does LED light therapy hurt or damage the skin?
No. LED contains no ultraviolet and produces only mild warmth. You wear goggles to protect your eyes. There is no downtime and nothing to recover from.
Is LED light therapy worth it on its own, or only with a facial?
Both have a place. On its own it is a cheap, twenty minute maintenance treatment, and the most affordable way to start at this practice. Added to a facial it calms the skin after extractions and massage. Weekly standalone sessions are what build a result; the ten minutes inside a facial is a finish.
Can I do LED light therapy after microneedling or a peel?
Yes, and it is often recommended. Near infrared and red light are used to support recovery after treatments that work on the skin, and members frequently book LED in the days after a microneedling session. The clinician will tell you when.
