LED Light Therapy Facial

Please try to arrive without face makeup on, as we would like to spend as much time as possible on the treatment itself. However, we understand that this may not always be possible.

Avoid all retinols and resurfacing ingredients for at least 72 hours prior to treatment.

Avoid all forms of exfoliation for at least 72 hours prior to treatment.

Ensure you have completed all required consent & pre/post care intake forms prior to your treatment

Please notify your Aesthetician of any concerns, changes in medication, etc.

Delivers heat in the IR spectrum to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature; for the temperary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, arthritis and muscle spasm; relieveing stiffness; promoting the relaxation of muscle tissue; and to temperarily increase local blood circulation.

LED is a very relaxing treatment. It uses a low light therapy to target your concerns and although it generates some heat, it remains very comfortable.

Consists of roughly 10-12 treatments over 4 weeks, allowing up to 3 treatments per week. This is for optimal results, although this can be further discussed and customized per your unique needs.

Acne: Using blue light as its dominant wavelenght, it will target and kill the bacterita that leads to breakouts, reduce inflammation/pain, pimples and redness. It is a powerful treatment backed by science.

Anti-Aging: Using red light as its dominant wavelength, firbroblasts will absorb the light and boost the ATP process, which includes collagen and elastin production. Collagen is necessary for firm skin and a younger and healthier complexion. Other benefits include reduction and prevention of cell death, development of new capillaries, increased blood flow and cell generation to replace old cells.

Wound Healing: Using red and IR wavelenghts, the epithelial cells absorb the light and boost the ATP process, cell migration and angiogenesis. This will promote safe and faster wound healing/recovery.

Pain: Using near-infrared as its dominant wavelength, it will create angiogenesis and result in a decrease of inflammation and pain reduction.

Blue: 465 nm

Least penetrating and targets the epidermal layer (surface concerns)

Red: 645 nm The second deepest, targeting the dermal layer

IR: 880 nm

Offers the deepest penetration, targeting the subcutaneous tissue

There are two positions that are optimal for results.

1. The device is cradled around the face (LED is closest to the face. This is the snugger option)

2. The device is tented over the face (no higher than 3 inches from face, but does allow for a bit more room under the LED)

Goggles are optional

Please note that with both options, there is visibility out of the top and bottom, improving its comfortability. If this is a concern for you, please contact us to discuss.

It is important that the LED remains as close to the skin as possible. When that light is distanced from the skin, it diminishes the ability of the tissue to absorb the light.

Fibroblast Cells: Responsible for producing collagen and elastin in the connected tissue

Keratinocytes: Provides structural strength, tone, texture and clarity to the skin

Mast Cells: Responsible for inflammatory reactions

Neutrophil Cells (Leukocytes): First line of defence in the inflammatory process, adequate numbers are important to protect the body from infection

Macrophrage Cells (Leukocytes): Plays a vital roll in activating specific immune responses

P-Acne Bacteria: A slow growing gram-positive bacteria linked to acne
