Collagen phototherapy LED (light emitting diode) is a non-invasive skin care procedure that stimulates collagen and heals and repairs tissues. At Malone Facial Plastic Surgery in La Jolla phototherapy LED uses diodes to dispatch low-level light energy into the deeper layers of the skin.
As developed by NASA, there are two LED treatments: The red light LED triggers cellular stimulus that produces collagen resulting in plumper looking skin, reduces wrinkles and fine lines and treat other issues such as sun damage. The blue light LED destroys the bacteria that create acne beneath the surface of the skin.

During your consultation for phototherapy LED San Diego facial plastic surgeon Dr. Melanie Malone will provide you the opportunity to share your specific goals for treatment. You will be able to learn more about the possible options with this procedure and discuss the best solution for you.






“I would recommend her a million times over…”
Phototherapy LED treatment can boost collagen, improve skin tone and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Most of the procedures take a half hour or less and there is no downtime. There is no risk of burning with this treatment. Laser procedures deliver a blast of light at a higher energy level. These treatments are used for acne, broken capillaries, brown spots, facial redness and spider veins.
Collagen phototherapy LED in San Diego can work against aging and the rejuvenation of healthy skin. It is the fibroblast cells in the dermis layer that produce collagen that consequently give the skin its full and plump appearance and elastin that tightens and helps to regenerate the skin. It is a great aesthetic device for all skin types and conditions. The treatments are safe to the eyes and a painless procedure.
