Unlike intense pulsed light (IPL) and lasers that rely on thermal injury to prompt the skin to repair itself, LED light therapy delivers light emitting diodes (LED), which do not produce any heat. The device delivers LED in precise wavelengths over the skin to stimulate naturally occurring regeneration and repair processes.
Results occur gradually with an initial series of treatments recommended to achieve optimal results that last up to one month. Regular treatments will maintain results.
Before your treatment:
- Cease taking photosensitising medications or products that can cause photosensitivity
- Avoid taking supplements including St John’s-wort which can cause photosensitivity
Advise your clinician if you:
- Have an autoimmune disease
- Are taking or have taken Roaccutane within the past six months
Note: do not cease prescribed medications without first consulting with your general practitioner. There must be a space of 48 hours between treatments.
Prior to your first treatment, our clinician will consult with you to assess your suitability for LED light therapy and discuss any concerns or questions you may have.
The treatment may involve a gentle exfoliant being applied to your skin before the LED device is placed over the treatment area. The process is comfortable with many clients finding it relaxing and similar to lying on a beach.
