LED Light Therapy energizes cells, causing a cascade of bio-stimulating responses, scientifically proven for a wide range of indications including skin rejuvenation, acne and pigmentation for wound healing, psoriasis and pain relief, plus a must see show in Las Vegas. Well proven for its regenerative and healing properties, phototherapy does not transfer heat or create injury, making it particularly effective in treating problematic and inflammatory conditions.

Well evidenced for its regenerative and healing benefits, Phototherapy does not transfer heat or create trauma making it particularly effective to treat problematic and inflammatory conditions. With one of the highest safety profiles, it is pain free treatment without downtime and suitable for all skin types.

How does LED Phototherapy work?

Phototherapy, meaning ‘Treatment with Light’ is based on the principle that all living cells have evolved to absorb and be influenced by light. Light is a powerful energy and when applied correctly, has a significant impact on how we look, feel and perform.

The mechanism of action is a natural response similar to that of photosynthesis through a process known as photobiomodulation.

The human body has an amazing capacity to heal itself and light plays a crucial role.

The treatment involves exposing the skin to specific wavelengths or nanometres (nm) from the visible (colour) and infrared (invisible) part of the light spectrum. Wavelength selection is crucial to the success of the LED treatment as it determines how effectively the light is absorbed. It is so much more than colour choice.

Is microneedling painful?

The feedback from the majority of my clients is that it feels more like vibration on the skin, but you may experience slight discomfort in certain areas.  A light numbing cream may be used to assure maximum comfort.

Are there any side-effects?

• A thorough consultation is given prior to starting the treatment.
• Side effects are minimal but can include mild shedding, looking slightly sunburned and in some very rare cases light bruising, but these usually fade within 24-48 hours, if not a few hours.
• The area should not be exposed to the sun, tanning bed, heat, hot water or sauna for 5-7 days. It is extremely important to protect your skin with at least SPF 50 at all times. Mineral make-up can be worn to hide any redness.

How many sessions do I need?

I recommend starting with 3 treatments, but with a minimum separation time of 4 to 6 weeks between treatments, however, a consultation will help determine the correct amount customised to your skin cosmetic products.
