LED Therapy
LED therapy is a non-invasive skincare treatment that uses light-emitting diodes to emit specific wavelengths of light that penetrate the skin at different depths. This treatment stimulates cellular activity, promoting collagen production, improving overall skin health. It is effective for treating a variety of skin issues, including acne, aging, and redness. With no downtime and a comfortable treatment process, LED therapy is an excellent option for those seeking to improve their skin. Multiple sessions are recommended to achieve and maintain the best results.

Combination Therapies
LED therapy can be combined with other skincare treatments to enhance results and provide comprehensive skin care solutions. Here are a few examples:
​
LED and Microdermabrasion
Combining LED therapy with microdermabrasion can maximize skin rejuvenation. Microdermabrasion exfoliates the skin, removing dead cells and allowing the LED light to penetrate more effectively.
​
LED and Chemical Peels
Using LED therapy after a chemical peel can soothe the skin, reduce redness and inflammation, and accelerate healing. This combination can lead to brighter, smoother, and more even-toned skin.
​
LED and Microneedling
Microneedling creates micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production. Following up with LED therapy can enhance this effect, further promoting skin healing and rejuvenation.
​
LED and Topical Treatments
Applying serums or creams rich in antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, or other beneficial ingredients before or after LED therapy can enhance absorption and effectiveness, leading to improved hydration, anti-aging benefits, and overall skin health.
​
These combination therapies can be tailored to individual skin needs, offering a more personalized approach to skincare.
Can also be used for areas like lines around the mouth, neck wrinkles, and to reshape the eyebrows.
