LED Light Therapy
LED Light Therapy uses a medical grade machine to improve the general appearance of your skin and decrease the effect of ageing on your skin. LED light therapy technology is a clinically proven, painless, non-invasive and affordable treatment. This treatment targets a wide variety of skin conditions by using specific colour wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin at varying depths, it works with the body’s own natural processes to counteract the effects of ageing. The different lights target specific cells, which are responsible for the synthesis and repair of the skins supportive structure.
Light therapy is a new and exciting addition in skin therapy and the benefits of light therapy treatments are widely recognised in modern medicine. LED Light therapy has been developed to harness the power of light, and deliver it as a safe and effective treatment.
