What is LED?
This professional grade light-emitting diode device is for the treatment of periorbital wrinkles and pigmented skin. It helps reduce pore size, improve skin tone and texture and gives a vibrant, healthier looking skin after just one treatment. It’s a natural, non-invasive, painless treatment suitable for all skin types and conditions.
How does LED work?
Using two clinically proven wavelengths of light 633nm or red light and 830nm or near infra red light. These wavelengths have been shown repeatedly in clinical studies to be absorbed by cells stimulating ATP, the energy source of the cell and and a cascade of cellular processes that stimulate collagen and elastin production and improve blood flow and tissue oxygenation helping skin cells absorb topical skincare products. In addition red and infrared light helps reduce inflammation, accelerate wound healing and help reduce brown spots and pigmentation.
Is LED safe?
Yes, the LED device is tested to an international standard demonstrating its safety. Because LED used doesn’t expose your eyes to the light it’s less uncomfortable and less claustrophobic than traditional salon LED systems and you won’t need to wear eye protection.
Is LED different from Laser?
Yes, it is non-ablative, meaning it does not cut, burn or break the skin surface. Lasers work by using heat and this heat causes trauma within the skin that creates a wound that then repairs. This means that after a laser session, your skin will be very red, often painful and you will peel. The recovery time is anything from 3-10 days with a laser treatment.
Who should do LED?
Because LED creates no heat it’s suitable for all skin types, and is clinically proven to treat fine lines, hyperpigmentation, improve skin tone and texture and reduce inflammation.
Can I combine LED with other treatments?
Yes, it will enhance and accelerate the results from other treatments. You can combine with existing facials, peels, dermaplaning or microneedling. Even if you’ve had fillers or a laser treatment you can come in to reduce downtime. Because the LED system builds healthy skin from the inside out it compliments other treatments that work in other ways.
Can LED be used on other parts of the body?
Yes, the face panels can be used to treat the neck, décolletage, hands and other parts of the body, such as the abdomen. It can be combined with other body treatments.
Is LED claustrophobic?
No, unlike other LED systems that surround the face the device used in my treatment is specifically designed to deliver a comfortable photofacial to the skin, it does not cover the eyes or feel heavy on the skin. The LEDs used are the first of their kind to deliver two wavelengths at the correct energy from one diode, making the device lightweight and enabling treatment times to be reduced to just 10 minutes.
Does it matter that my whole face isn’t covered by LEDs?
No, light therapy works through primary and secondary mechanisms so even if the light does not cover a specific area, cells will still be stimulated in this area because of the biochemical cascade that takes place within and between the cells.
What results can I expect from LED?
After a single photofacial you will see firmer, tighter skin with a reduced pore size and skin will feel softer and smoother due to the instant hydration and enhanced absorption of the ingredients in the Hydrogel Mask. Your complexion will look more vibrant and fresher due to the increased blood flow, tissue oxygenation and increased cellular ATP.
How long do the results of LED last?
Results can last for several months following a course of 4 LED photofacials. However, maintenance sessions are advised to ensure longer-lasting results.
