What Is LED Light Therapy and How Does RE:BERRY Myeongdong Use It?
LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy uses specific wavelengths of light — red (630-660nm), near-infrared (830-850nm), and blue (415nm) — to trigger cellular-level healing responses in the skin. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, LED therapy is delivered via the Dermio Care system combined with LDM (Local Dynamic Micro-massage) ultrasound. It is used both as a standalone anti-aging and acne treatment, and as a post-procedure recovery enhancer after pico laser, Potenza RF, and injectable treatments. Zero downtime, zero pain, suitable for all skin types.
Photobiomodulation (PBM), formerly known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), has over 50 years of scientific research supporting its efficacy for wound healing, inflammation reduction, and tissue regeneration. Unlike ablative lasers that create controlled damage, LED therapy works by stimulating the mitochondrial electron transport chain — specifically cytochrome c oxidase — increasing ATP production and triggering a cascade of cellular repair mechanisms. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, the medical-grade Dermio Care device delivers calibrated wavelengths at therapeutic fluences that consumer-grade LED masks simply cannot achieve. Dr. Seung-Jae Baek incorporates LED therapy into virtually all treatment protocols, from acne management to post-Ultherapy recovery, making it a cornerstone of the clinic’s comprehensive care approach. The treatment is painless, requires no preparation, and patients typically experience immediate soothing effects with visible skin calming.

How LED Light Therapy Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
A gentle, non-invasive treatment that enhances skin health from the cellular level.
Skin Assessment & Wavelength Selection
Your dermatologist evaluates your skin condition and determines the optimal LED wavelength combination: red light for anti-aging and wound healing, blue light for active acne, near-infrared for deep tissue recovery. Combination protocols are common for complex skin concerns.
LED Photobiomodulation Session
The medical-grade Dermio Care LED panel is positioned over the treatment area. The session lasts 15-20 minutes. You feel gentle warmth but no pain. The specific wavelengths penetrate 1-5mm into the skin, activating cellular repair pathways. No protective eyewear needed for visible wavelengths; IR goggles provided for near-infrared.
LDM Ultrasound Enhancement
After LED, the LDM (Local Dynamic Micro-massage) device delivers dual-frequency ultrasound that enhances product absorption, stimulates fibroblast activity, and further reduces inflammation. This combination is RE:BERRY’s signature post-procedure recovery protocol used after laser and injectable treatments.
Hydration & Sun Protection
A hydrating serum is applied to the treated skin, and SPF protection is provided. You leave with refreshed, calm skin and zero downtime. LED therapy can be performed daily if needed, though weekly sessions are typical for maintenance protocols.

The Science Behind LED Photobiomodulation
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting medical-grade LED light therapy.
Mitochondrial Photobiomodulation Mechanism
LED photobiomodulation works primarily through absorption of light by cytochrome c oxidase (CCO), a key enzyme in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. When red (630-660nm) or near-infrared (830-850nm) photons are absorbed by CCO, they displace inhibitory nitric oxide (NO), restoring normal electron flow and increasing ATP production. This energy boost triggers downstream signaling cascades including increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) at physiological levels, activation of NF-kB, and upregulation of growth factors. Cells respond with increased proliferation, migration, and synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins including collagen types I and III.
Blue Light and P. acnes Photoinactivation
Blue light at 415nm targets endogenous porphyrins (primarily coproporphyrin III and protoporphyrin IX) produced by Cutibacterium acnes (formerly Propionibacterium acnes). When porphyrins absorb blue light, they generate singlet oxygen and other reactive oxygen species that damage bacterial cell membranes, leading to bacterial death without antibiotic resistance. Papageorgiou et al. (2000) demonstrated that blue light therapy reduced inflammatory acne lesions by 76% over 12 weeks. Combined with red light, the anti-inflammatory and healing effects further improve outcomes.
LDM Ultrasound Synergy
LDM (Local Dynamic Micro-massage) uses rapidly alternating dual-frequency ultrasound (3MHz and 10MHz) to create mechanical stimulation at the cellular level. This stimulates heat shock protein production, enhances fibroblast activity, improves microcirculation, and promotes lymphatic drainage. When combined with LED therapy, LDM significantly enhances the penetration and efficacy of topical actives applied post-treatment, making it an ideal complement to photobiomodulation.

What Patients Say About LED Therapy at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
“After my Potenza RF session, they applied LED and LDM. My face was barely pink the next morning instead of the 2-3 days of redness I experienced at another clinic. The recovery protocol here is remarkable.”
“I came for acne treatment and the blue LED sessions combined with Potenza and Exosome made such a difference. My active breakouts calmed down within the first week. The whole Acne All-Kill Package was worth every won.”
“I love that LED therapy is included in many of their packages. After pico laser toning, the Dermio Care session immediately soothed my skin. It felt cool and calm instead of hot and irritated. Very different from my previous clinic.”
Frequently Asked Questions About LED Light Therapy
Expert answers from RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s board-certified dermatologists.
Medical-grade LED therapy stimulates cellular repair, increases collagen production (red/NIR light), kills acne-causing bacteria (blue light), reduces inflammation, and accelerates wound healing. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, it is a core component of our post-procedure recovery and acne treatment protocols.
Yes, significantly. Medical-grade LED devices like RE:BERRY’s Dermio Care deliver 5-10x higher irradiance (power density) than consumer masks, meaning therapeutic doses are achieved in 15-20 minutes versus hours. The wavelength precision and power output of medical devices produce measurable clinical results that home devices cannot match.
No. LED therapy is completely painless. You may feel gentle warmth during near-infrared wavelength sessions, but there is no discomfort. Many patients find the experience relaxing and soothing.
For standalone anti-aging, 1-2 sessions per week for 6-12 weeks is typical. For acne, 2-3 sessions per week. As a post-procedure enhancer, LED is performed immediately after each laser or injectable treatment. Your RE:BERRY dermatologist determines the optimal frequency.
Yes. Blue LED (415nm) effectively kills P. acnes bacteria without antibiotics. RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s Acne All-Kill Package (₩690,000) combines Potenza RF, Exosome, and Dermio Care LED for comprehensive acne treatment.
Yes. LED photobiomodulation is safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types (I-VI). Unlike lasers that target melanin, LED works at the cellular level without thermal damage. There is no risk of burns or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
LDM (Local Dynamic Micro-massage) uses dual-frequency ultrasound to stimulate tissue at the cellular level. Combined with LED, it enhances product penetration, stimulates fibroblasts, improves microcirculation, and accelerates the healing cascade initiated by photobiomodulation.
Absolutely none. You can apply makeup and resume all activities immediately. LED therapy actually reduces downtime from other procedures when used as a post-treatment recovery step.
LED therapy is generally considered safe during pregnancy as it is non-thermal and non-invasive. However, RE:BERRY recommends discussing any treatment with your obstetrician first, as a precautionary measure.
Dermio Care is RE:BERRY’s medical-grade LED and cooling device that combines photobiomodulation with cryotherapy-like cooling effects. It is used after virtually all laser and injectable treatments to reduce inflammation, soothe skin, and accelerate healing.
A standalone LED session takes 15-20 minutes. When combined with LDM ultrasound, plan for 25-30 minutes total. As part of a package treatment, LED/Dermio Care adds 15 minutes to the overall session.
Yes. Red and yellow LED wavelengths have anti-inflammatory properties that can help manage rosacea symptoms. The gentle, non-thermal nature of LED makes it suitable for the sensitive skin characteristic of rosacea. Your RE:BERRY dermatologist can design an appropriate protocol.
Red and near-infrared LED at specific parameters have been shown to stimulate hair follicle activity in some studies. However, this application is separate from facial LED therapy. Consult your RE:BERRY dermatologist for hair-specific concerns.
Yes. LED therapy is an excellent complement to chemical peels, reducing post-peel redness and accelerating recovery. RE:BERRY Myeongdong routinely applies Dermio Care LED after peel treatments.
Standalone LED therapy provides gradual improvement in skin tone, texture, and radiance over 6-12 sessions. For more dramatic results, LED is best combined with active treatments like pico laser, Potenza RF, or skin boosters.
Yes. Medical-grade LED devices are cleared by both the FDA and Korean MFDS for various dermatological indications including wound healing, pain reduction, and acne treatment. RE:BERRY uses only MFDS-certified equipment.
Medical-grade LED therapy at appropriate parameters does not cause skin damage. Unlike lasers, LED operates at low power densities that stimulate cells without thermal injury. There are no known serious adverse effects from properly administered LED photobiomodulation.
Medical-grade LED devices at RE:BERRY deliver calibrated therapeutic doses (30-100mW/cm2) under dermatologist supervision. Spa LED facials typically use lower-power devices (5-15mW/cm2) without medical oversight. The clinical outcomes are significantly different.
Red light (630-660nm) and near-infrared (830-850nm) are the most evidence-based wavelengths for anti-aging. Red light primarily targets the epidermis and superficial dermis, while NIR penetrates deeper to stimulate collagen in the mid-dermis. RE:BERRY uses combination protocols for maximum benefit.
