Led face light therapy
Led light therapy is a non-invasive and painless treatment that enters the skin’s layers to improve the skin. During treatment, you might feel some warmth but no discomfort. People with any skin type and colour can use led light therapy as it doesn’t use ultraviolet (UV) light, so it doesn’t cause damage or burns to your skin.
How Does Light Therapy work? Using specific wavelengths of colour infrared we can deliver clinically proven doses of light energy to target receptors within our cells. When these receptors are stimulated, cellular activity is increased causing many different natural body processes to be activated.
To see improvement in your skin, you need to have regular treatments.
