Understanding LED Light Therapy: The Science Behind the Glow
LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy has transformed from a NASA innovation into one of the most powerful tools for skin care. Originally used to grow plants in space, LED light therapy harnesses specific wavelengths to stimulate your skin cells and treat a wide variety of skin concerns, from aging to acne.
This non-invasive, painless treatment uses light energy to penetrate the skin at various depths, where it’s absorbed by skin cells, triggering natural processes such as collagen production and cellular repair. LED therapy has quickly become a go-to for those seeking healthier, clearer, and younger-looking skin, whether used in clinics or at home.
                             How LED Light Transforms Your Skin?
LED therapy works by using different light wavelengths to initiate specific responses in the skin. Each wavelength corresponds to a different colour of light, and each colour penetrates the skin at varying depths, activating specific cellular functions:
  • Red light (633nm): Promotes collagen production, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and improves overall skin texture. Ideal for anti-aging treatments.
  • Blue light (415nm): Destroys acne-causing bacteria, reduces oil production, and helps clear up breakouts. It's perfect for those with acne-prone skin.
  • Green light (532nm): Targets hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and sun damage, helping to even out skin tone.
  • Amber light (590nm): Reduces inflammation, stimulates circulation, and accelerates cell rejuvenation.
  • Near-infrared light (830nm): Penetrates deeper into the skin to accelerate wound healing, reduce inflammation, and repair damaged skin cells.
                                           Benefits of LED Light Therapy
LED therapy is an incredibly versatile treatment, making it suitable for a wide range of skin concerns. Here are some of the top benefits:
  • Anti-aging: Red light therapy boosts collagen and elastin production, which helps reduce wrinkles and improve skin firmness.
  • Acne treatment: Blue light therapy kills acne-causing bacteria, helping to clear up blemishes and prevent future breakouts.
  • Reduction of hyperpigmentation: Green light targets melanin-producing cells, helping to fade age spots, dark patches, and uneven skin tone.
  • Inflammation relief: Both amber and near-infrared light help soothe irritation and reduce redness, making LED therapy suitable for people with sensitive skin conditions like rosacea or eczema.
  • Faster healing: Near-infrared light aids in the healing of wounds and promotes skin recovery after damage.
                          How Frequently Should You Use LED Light Therapy?
To achieve the best results with LED light therapy, consistency is essential. Most skincare experts recommend using LED devices between 3 to 5 times per week. Each session can be brief, typically lasting just a few minutes, based on the device’s settings. While results depend on the specific concern being addressed, many users notice visible improvements in their skin within a few weeks of regular use.
                                 Is LED Light Therapy Safe for Everyone?
Yes, LED light therapy is widely regarded as one of the safest treatments in skincare. It’s a non-invasive, pain-free option suitable for nearly all skin types. That said, if you are taking medications that cause photosensitivity or have underlying conditions like lupus, it’s a good idea to consult a healthcare provider before starting LED treatments to ensure it’s the right choice for you.
                                Incorporating LED Light Therapy into Your Routine
To get the most out of LED therapy, it’s important to use the correct wavelengths for your skin needs and pair it with a solid skincare routine. For example, combining red light therapy with anti-aging serums or treatments can maximize its collagen-boosting effects. Meanwhile, those with acne-prone skin can benefit from pairing blue light therapy with salicylic acid-based products to tackle breakouts from multiple angles.

When you invest in hair extensions, you're investing in more than just your look—you're investing in confidence, beauty, and self-expression. At DULGE, we believe high-quality
extensions and wigs deserve the best care to maintain their stunning
appearance and feel. But even the finest DULGE hair extensions or wigs


won’t last without proper upkeep. With the right routine, you can extend
the lifespan of your investment and keep it looking flawless. Here’s
your essential guide to caring for your DULGE hair extensions and wigs.

No Alcohol or Sulphate-Based Shampoos

The first rule of hair care? Stay away
from harsh chemicals! Alcohol and sulphate-based shampoos can strip your
hair extensions and wigs of moisture, leaving them dry, frizzy, and
prone to damage.

Pro Tip: Use only sulphate-free, hydrating shampoos and conditioners on your
DULGE hair extensions and wigs. Products designed for extensions will
keep them silky, soft, and as luxurious as the day you bought them.
Moisturized hair lasts longer, looks healthier, and feels smoother—so
choose wisely!

Detangle Like a Pro

Tangled hair can lead to shedding and
breakage, so it’s crucial to handle your extensions and wigs with care.
Detangle gently from the ends, working your way up to the roots, using a
wide-tooth comb or a brush designed for hair extensions.

Pro Tip: Always hold your DULGE hair extensions at the base to prevent
tugging and unnecessary stress on the bonds or clips. For wigs, place
them on a wig stand while brushing to maintain their shape and avoid
pulling on the fibres. Gentle care leads to longer-lasting results.

Washing: Less Is More

Hair extensions and wigs do not need as much washing as natural hair. In
fact, washing too frequently can weaken the bonds and lead to drying out
the hair, shortening its life span.

Pro Tip: Wash your DULGE hair extensions only when necessary, typically
every few wears, and always follow up with a rich, nourishing
conditioner. Make sure to use cool water and pat the hair dry with a
towel—avoid rubbing to prevent frizzing and tangling.

Heat Styling: Protect, Then Style

Love styling your hair extensions or wigs with heat? While they can be
curled, straightened, or blow-dried, excessive heat can damage the hair
fibres. But don't worry, you can still achieve your dream style with the
right precautions.

Pro Tip: Always apply a heat protectant spray before using any hot tools on your
DULGE hair extensions or wigs. Stick to low or medium heat settings to
prevent burning or drying out the hair. This small step will keep your
extensions silky smooth and extend their longevity.

No Swimming Allowed

Chlorine and saltwater are your hair's worst enemies. Swimming with your
extensions or wigs on can cause severe damage, including matting,
tangling, and colour fading.

Pro Tip: Never swim while wearing your DULGE hair extensions or wigs. If
you must be in the water, either remove them or wear a protective swim
cap. After any exposure to water, rinse and condition immediately to
restore moisture and prevent long-term damage.

Smart Storage: Keep Them Safe

Proper storage is essential to maintaining the shape and integrity of your extensions and wigs when not in use.

ProTip: Always store your DULGE hair extensions in a cool, dry place,
preferably in a silk bag or storage box to prevent tangling and dust.
For wigs, a wig stand is your best friend. This helps maintain their
shape and prevents unwanted frizz and damage. A little effort goes a
long way in keeping your investment looking fabulous.

Night Care: Protect While You Sleep

For those wearing hair extensions, nighttime care is a must. Extensions are more likely to tangle or mat while you're sleeping.

Pro Tip: Before bed, loosely braid or tie your DULGE hair extensions into a
low ponytail to prevent tangling overnight. Sleeping on a silk
pillowcase can also reduce friction, ensuring you wake up with smooth,
tangle-free hair.

Regular Maintenance: Professional Touch-Ups Are Key

Just like your natural hair, extensions and wigs need regular checkups.
Professional touch-ups keep them in optimal condition, ensuring they
last longer.

Pro Tip: Visit your stylist regularly to check the positioning and condition of your
DULGE hair extensions, and ensure they are properly adjusted or
reinstalled. For wigs, professional cleaning and styling help maintain
their original look and feel. Don't skip this step—it keeps your hair
looking salon-fresh for longer!

Keep Your DULGE Extensions and Wigs Beautiful for Longer

With the right care routine, your DULGE hair extensions and wigs can maintain their luxurious look, feel, and quality for much longer. These
essential tips will not only help protect your investment but ensure
that every day is a great hair day.

Experience premium hair care with DULGE and discover how easy it is to keep your extensions and wigs looking flawless.
