Feeling sluggish? You’re not the only one. Dark, gloomy winter days can leave us feeling low but a mood-lifting dose of light can work wonders on your state of mind…and help you get a natural, healthy glow.
I’ve long been a fan of light-only skin rejuvenation and we’ve offered it in our salons for a number of years, for both the beauty benefits but also its amazing wellbeing effects. Developments in LED technology has gathered pace over the last couple of years and we just invested in a new breed of light therapy. Lightfusion cleverly combines both red and near infrared light in the same treatment, and the LED technology used are powerful and penetrate further and faster than we have ever been able to achieve in the past. With Lightfusion we can now achieve results in just a 10 ten minute session.
Favoured by celebs and beauty editors alike, this photofacial is a completely natural method of light-only skin rejuvenation with zero downtime. And although it’s a light therapy treatment, no harmful UVA or UVB are emitted. In fact, it’s so safe hospitals use it for its rejuvenating effects on skin ,as well as to treat a wide range of other conditions, including relieving some of the side effects of cancer treatments.
Pain-free (yes, really), heat-free and completely tailored to your skin needs, it also offers an amazing lifting and hydrating effect, instant improvement in skin tone and texture, balancing of pigmentation and smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles. In short, brighter, smoother, rejuvenated skin! It’s also gently anti-ageing too and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles will also look reduced. LED therapy is one of the most effective collagen induction treatments, with solid research evidence published over many years. Sounds great, doesn’t it?
Importantly, it’s also utterly relaxing. I find it one of the best ways to totally ‘zone-out’ for a few minutes. The red light emitted is known as a great mood booster for anyone affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder otherwise known as SAD. this is actually one of the most common uses of the device in Scandinavian countries.
It’s a quick treatment and takes just 10 minutes, which is pretty amazing when you consider the results. We offer this as a standalone treatment option, or combined with any other facial to really supercharge the results. . I love combining it with our Diamondtome microdermabrasion or Rejuvapen, for it’s healing and restorative effects.
Lightfusion LED Facial costs £48, or only £29 when added on to another treatment.
