Have you heard about our ‘happy light’?

This is one of our patients favourite treatments, its quick, simple and relaxing!

LED phototherapy is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment which accelerates skin rejuvenation and cell repair. As a result of ageing, sun damage or skin conditions (such as Psoriasis, Eczema and Dermatitis) cell renewal slows down becomes impaired and healthy cells are unable to renew themselves normally. LED phototherapy recharges and energises skin cells to aid healing and rejuvenate faster using a combination of lights. The treatment is pain-free, safe and suitable for all skin types.

Red light – rejuvenates the skin by improving its structure, increases collagen and elastin production thus leading to firmer skin, a clearer complexion and improves overall skin health.
Blue light – significantly reduces the P acnes bacteria which pre disposes to acne, reducing the appearance of spots and helping to prevent further break outs. It is ideal for teenagers and may be considered as an alternative to antibiotics.
Infrared light – reduces pigmentation and helps heal the skin, also reducing inflammation and pain associated with skin conditions.
All 3 wavelengths can be delivered concurrently to stimulate all cellular levels and target multiple concerns.
