What is LED teeth whitening?
LED teeth whitening, also known as light-activated teeth whitening, is a cosmetic procedure that uses LED (light-emitting diode) technology to enhance the whitening process of teeth. It is a non-invasive and relatively quick method to achieve a brighter and whiter smile. The LED light used in this procedure does not emit heat, making the treatment comfortable and safe for the patient. The entire session typically takes around 30 with results seen after even one session. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired level of whitening.
How does LED teeth whitening work?
The process begins with the application of a professional-grade whitening gel, typically containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, onto the surface of the teeth. This gel contains active agents that break down stubborn stains and discolorations that accumulate over time due to factors like coffee, tea, tobacco, and aging. Once the gel is applied, a precisely calibrated LED light, emitting a specific wavelength, is positioned near the treated area. This LED light initiates a chemical reaction and activates the whitening agents in the gel, accelerating the release of oxygen molecules. These oxygen molecules penetrate the enamel and target the molecules responsible for staining, effectively breaking them apart and lifting the discoloration. As a result, the teeth gradually achieve a brighter and more vibrant appearance. LED teeth whitening is renowned for its efficiency and immediate results, with many individuals experiencing noticeably whiter teeth after just a single session.
By using specialized transducers, Ulthera can precisely direct ultrasound energy to specific depths beneath the skin—namely, 4.5mm, 3mm, and 1.5mm. Focusing energy into concentrated points within the thermal coagulation zones allows temperatures under the skin to surpass 60°C.
This elevated temperature initiates a process known as neo-collagenesis in the targeted area, stimulating the production of new collagen, and reduced skin laxity, resulting in a firmer and more youthful appearance.
At 1.5mm
The focus at 1.5mm targets the dermis, addressing more superficial layers and areas with thinner skin, such as the forehead and temples. This effectively addresses fine lines and tightens the skin on the dermis.
At 3.0mm
The focus at 3.0mm transducers address the deep layers of the dermis, targeting the skin structure to stimulate collagen growth. Additionally, at this depth, it also targets fat.
At 4.5mm
The magic of lifting takes place at a depth of 4.5mm. Using the 4.5mm transducer, the physician can precisely target and treat the Subcutaneous Musculo-Aponeurotic System (SMAS) layer. The SMAS is a crucial fibrous network comprising muscle, collagen, and elastic fibres—the very layer targeted by plastic surgeons during a surgical facelift.

Why choose LED teeth whitening?
LED teeth whitening is known for producing immediate results, with many patients experiencing a noticeable improvement in the color of their teeth after just one session. However, the degree of whitening achieved can vary based on factors such as the severity of staining and the individual’s natural tooth color. It’s important to note that while LED teeth whitening can effectively remove extrinsic stains caused by food, drinks, and tobacco, it may not significantly alter the intrinsic color of teeth that are naturally darker.
Non-Invasive and Comfortable: The procedure is non-invasive and generally comfortable for most individuals. Unlike some other teeth whitening methods, LED teeth whitening does not require the use of heat, ensuring a painless and hassle-free experience.
Minimised Sensitivity: LED teeth whitening is often associated with lower tooth sensitivity compared to some other whitening techniques. The controlled activation process helps reduce the risk of sensitivity while achieving impressive results.
Convenience and Speed: A typical LED teeth whitening session lasts 30 minutes, making it an excellent option for busy schedules. The quick treatment time allows you to achieve a noticeably brighter smile in a short amount of time.
Enhanced Confidence: A brighter smile can positively impact your self-esteem and overall confidence. LED teeth whitening can help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted, boosting your confidence and leaving a lasting impression.

Results were definitely very apparent and fast
Very good service from Dr Bernard! He sat me down for a long, thorough consultation and explanation of not just the service I was interested in, but of other similar treatments just so I could make a better comparison and final decision, with no pressure into deciding anything on the spot as well. Tried Ultherapy and Pico Sure Laser treatments on two different occasions, and each time I felt very well taken care of. I’m scared of pain, but the team and Dr Bernard always knew how to minimize any pain and ensure I always felt good with his steady hands. Results were definitely very apparent and fast. ...read more read less
