Lighten up with LED Therapy

What is LED therapy?

 I use the Celluma LED panel in my practice and I LOVE it! 

The Science behind LED technology

First developed by NASA, LED works by sending energy-producing packets of light into the deeper layers of the skin. LED technology is the application of light energy to the body for therapeutic benefits. It promotes a natural photobiochemical reaction similar to the process of plant photosynthesis. The energy delivered by the Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) has been shown to enhance cellular metabolism, accelerate the repair and replenishment of damaged skin cells, as well as stimulate the production of collagen - the foundation of a healthy and smooth skin. 

Research has shown that LED Light Therapy may help to smooth skin texture, improve skin firmness and resilience, increase the lymphatic system activity, restore skin's natural cellular activity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and superficial hyper-pigmentation. The treatment is for all skin types and it is non-ablative, non-invasive, painless with absolutely no downtime.

Who can use LED therapy?

If you have sensitivities, rosacea, acne, aging, dull skin, fine lines and wrinkles or if you just want to preserve your healthy skin LED therapy is a great choice from you. 

Reasons you wouldn't be able to use LED light.

Seizures, light induced migraines, photosensitivity, thyroid disorders, & cancerous lesions.

This is a pain free treatment! 

Blue Light LED therapy is FDA cleared to treat inflammatory Acne Vulgaris! Blue light LED works by killing the bacteria deep in the skin that is responsible for acne.

The recommended professional LED protocol is six treatments a week or two apart, followed by a maintenance treatment every month. Professional red light LED gives you plumper, firmer skin and a more youthful look. 

LED therapy is VERY relaxing! Almost every client falls asleep during their treatment. Its almost like laying out in the sun as the clouds pass over on a warm sunny day, EXCEPT this is healthy for your skin and has no harmful rays!

Professional LED treatments also help boost your mood during the long, cold, dark winter months.

LED therapy is a fantastic treatment option! It can be used as a standalone treatment or it can be added onto a facial treatment like microdermabrasion, post micro-needling, acne facials, anti-aging facials, post-IPL or laser. 

How much does it cost?

This treatment is very affordable. As a standalone treatment I charge 30.00 for half an hour. The skin is cleansed a serum is applied and you enjoy a nice relaxing treatment listening to spa music. The result is a glowing complexion that you will get compliments on! If you already have another treatment scheduled thats ok because you can add this in to your existing beauty routine.
