LED FACIALS

Light Emitting Diode (LED) Phototherapy is a non-invasive treatment that targets specific non-thermal light to energise cells which triggers a cascade of bio stimulatory responses. It is scientifically proven for a wide range of indications including skin rejuvenation, acne and pigmentation to wound healing, and psoriasis.

There are over 3,000 independent clinical studies supporting LED Phototherapy but only three wavelengths (nm) have been shown over time to deliver significant therapeutic outcomes; Blue 415nm, Red 633nm and Near Infrared 830nm.

Blue Light - Blemish fighting light destroys the bacteria causing spots whilst improving skin clarity without irritation. Also provides a calming effect for problem skin.

Red Light - Rejuvenating light energises the cell to accelerate renewal, boost collagen and elastin production and increase hydration for smoother firmer skin. Ideal for restoring vitality and glow.

Near Infrared Light - Regenerating light offers advanced rejuvenation benefits, promotes healthy skin, calms redness and irritation and reduce pigmentation.

Dermalux is a relaxing, pain free experience with evidenced wellbeing effects. The treatment does not generate heat but a feeling of natural warmth is common due to the increase in blood circulation.

The treatment will take place in one of our modern and clean treatment rooms for added comfort.

LED therapy is included in our 60-mins SIGNATURE facial session (£75.00) that can include the following for a comprehensive treatment:

• Fine facial cleansing

• Facial steaming

• Light Enzyme Peel

• LED therapy

• Radiofrequency

• Targeted mask

• Professional, medical-grade skincare

in most cases visible improvement can be seen after a single session (subject to indication and severity).

However as with many procedures, results are cumulative and lasting results occur over a course of treatments.

Treatments taken in quick succession will generally achieve faster results.

For best results and to reduce the risk of complications avoid doing these prior to your session:

Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks prior to treatment.

Avoid the use exfoliating agents such as retinoid products (e.g., Retinol, tretinoin, retinaldehyde) and high levels of AHA and BHA products for approximately 7 days prior to treatment.

Avoid use of photosensitizing medications (e.g., antibiotics, St John’s wort), you may be treated if your last dose was 7 days ago or more.

*Consult with your physician before temporarily discontinuing the use of any prescription medications.

Avoid waxing, threading or other form of hair removal on the area in 7 days prior to treatment

Avoid microdermabrasion, skin peels, micro-needling, laser or IPL 4 weeks prior to treatment

Use a mild cleanser for the next 2 weeks

Use an intensive moisturiser for at least 1 week as your skin may feel drier or tighter after your treatment

Apply sunscreen with an SPF 30+ on a daily basis and with regular applications for a period of at least 2 weeks post-session. We suggest you take other sun protective measures such as using sunglasses, wide brimmed hats, UPF clothing, seek shade when possible.

Reactions: As with the use of any products, there is also a small risk of reaction to the use of products on the skin. If a reaction occurs, discontinue the use of all supplied or purchased products.
