We are pleased to now offer a brand new add on treatment to compliment our existing facial massages and treatments. LED light therapy is a completely non invasive treatment for skin health. Using LED therapy to deliver energy into skin cells. LED coloured lights put the skin into a state of repair to boost collagen, elastin and hylauronic acid production which hydrates, brightens the skin, encourages cell regeneration and thereby appears to plump fine lines and wrinkles. The skin is left with a lovely glow which can last 3-4 days after treatment.

"This allows new blood vessels and skin cells to be formed, along with more collagen and elastin," he tells the BBC.
"PBM has also been used to treat acne as it has anti-inflammatory effects and reduces the amount of oil in the skin," he adds."

Glow Up: The Science and Benefits of Red Light Therapy – University of Edinburgh Science Media
"A randomized controlled trial that aimed to determine the efficacy of red light therapy for skin healing, including reducing the appearance of fine lines and skin wrinkles, supports this use! They found that the use of red light increased collagen density of those participants of the trials which they measured ultrasonographically and an appreciable improvement in skin complexion.
Unlike other techniques of skin rejuvenation, red light therapy alters cellular function using low-level, non-thermal LED light. This is known as photobiomodulation (PBM) or low-level light therapy (LLLT).
The application of red light has been shown to be safe, non-invasive and have multiple benefits to the body therapeutically, as well as ‘anti-aging’ the skin! It is very possible that we may begin to see the popularity of red-light devices increasing further as they become commonplace in the home, therapy and beauty"
