Light emitting diode phototherapy is a fantastic treatment for both skin and mind. It is lovely as a stand alone treatment or as an add-on to microneedling or a chemical peel as it encourages the new tissue growth and wound healing we are trying to achieve with these treatments.
This is a hands-off, heat free treatment where specific lightwaves are used to target a variety of skin concerns. Skin prone to acne benefits hugely thanks to LED phototherapy reducing over activity of the sebaceous glands as well as having an anti-bacterial effect on the p.acnes bacteria. This treatment is also well known to have the rejuvenating benefits of cell regeneration. By stimulating collagen and elastin production the skin healing process is aided along with helping anti-ageing and reducing inflammation.
LED phototherapy is a relaxing treatment and whilst your skin will thank you for it, so will your mind as not only is it relaxing but it has the added benefit of boosting your serotonin levels.
I use a Dermalux device in the clinic and have a smaller, portable Celluma device which is available for clients to hire. Both are high intensity and have clinically proven results.
As with most skin treatments the best results are achieved as part of a course of treatments.
