KO Light Frequently Asked Questions

Q

What kind of treatment is KO Light?

A

KO Light is a light therapy treatment that exposes the skin to high-intensity LED light of two different wavelengths.

Q

What skin concerns is KO Light designed to address?

A

KO Light is used for skin care by people concerned about dullness, redness, and rough skin. Depending on the condition of the skin, it may be combined with peels or skin-nourishing treatments.

Q

Does KO Light hurt?

A

Unlike treatments that use needles or lasers, KO Light is considered a treatment that is unlikely to cause severe pain. However, since the sensation of light stimulation varies from person to person, please let our staff know if you have any concerns during the treatment.

Q

Is there any downtime for KO Light?

A

KO Light is a treatment that involves relatively little downtime. However, depending on your skin condition and the specifics of the treatment, you may experience redness or a burning sensation.

Q

Can people with acne-prone skin undergo KO Light treatment?

A

KO Light is also used for skin care by people concerned about acne or skin irritation. However, since the appropriate treatment varies depending on the condition of the acne and the degree of inflammation, we will assess your skin condition before determining the appropriate treatment.

Q

What is the difference between the red and blue lights on the KO Light?

A

The KO Light features two wavelengths: 625 nm red light and 465 nm blue light. Red light helps minimize downtime while addressing redness and stinging, and is also used to improve firmness and elasticity. Blue light targets acne, skin roughness, and excess sebum production. A key feature of the KO Light is its ability to select the appropriate light type based on specific skin concerns.

Q

Can the KO Light emit red and blue light at the same time?

A

Yes. A key feature of the KO Light is its ability to emit red and blue light simultaneously. It addresses multiple skin concerns by combining the benefits of red light—which supports skin recovery, firmness, and elasticity—with the effects of blue light, which targets acne and excess sebum. You can also select from red, blue, or a mixed color (pink) depending on your specific needs.

Q

How many times do you usually get a KO Light?

A

The number of KO Light sessions required and the intervals between treatments vary depending on skin condition and treatment goals. It may be used on its own as an ongoing treatment, or it may be combined with other treatments as part of a comprehensive skincare regimen.

Q

Can I wear makeup after a KO Light treatment?

A

With KO Light, you can apply makeup after the treatment as long as your skin is in good condition.

Q. How is the KO Light different from a standard LED light? A. The KO Light features two wavelengths—625 nm red light and 465 nm blue light—and is characterized by its ability to provide illumination using high-density LEDs.

Thanks to the high-density arrangement of LEDs, this light is said to penetrate deeper into the skin than conventional LED lights, and its design minimizes uneven light distribution.
