LED Light Therapy

LED LIGHT THERAPY

What is LED Light Therapy?

Originally researched and developed by NASA, low-level light therapy, is the application of light energy to the body to obtain therapeutic benefits.

What does LED Light Therapy do?

LED Light Therapy applies specific wavelengths of light which promote a natural photo-biochemical reaction similar to the process of plant photosynthesis. The energy delivered by the LEDs has been shown to enhance cellular metabolism, accelerate the repair and replenishment of damaged skin cells, as well as stimulate the production of collagen — the foundation of healthy, smooth skin. Research has shown that LED light therapy may help smooth skin texture, improve skin firmness and resilience, increase lymphatic system activity, restore skin’s natural cellular activity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and superficial hyperpigmentation. LED therapy is also known for its ability to rejuvenate skin, treat acne, decrease inflammation and increase micro-circulation.

What conditions is LED Light Therapy used for?

LED light therapy can be used anywhere on the body. However, Dr Shyna uses it specifically on the face to treat mild to moderate acne, early fine lines and wrinkles, mild hyperpigmentation and mild skin inflammation..

Is LED Light Therapy safe?

LED Light therapy is based on light emitting diode (LED) technology developed for NASA-manned space flight experiments and has been widely researched. Dr Shyna uses CELLUMA Light Therapy which has been cleared by the FDA and is CE marked. CELLUMA Light therapy is non-invasive and safe for use on any skin type.

What is the process for receiving treatment?

The first step is to book your no obligation consultation. This will take place at a time convenient to you with Dr Shyna herself. At the consultation, Dr Shyna will undertake a comprehensive 30 minute assessment to identify your needs and to determine if the treatment is suitable for you and safe for you to receive. Following this assessment, Dr Shyna will give her recommendations as to what treatments may benefit you, including other treatments available. Prior to any treatments being carried out, the procedures and their risks and costs will be clearly explained. At this point, Dr Shyna recommends that you take a "cooling off" period of 48 hours to make sure you are happy to proceed. However, if, for your own convenience, you would prefer to proceed directly, the treatments can be carried out after the consultation, subject to your consent and appointment availability.. As part of the treatment process, before and after photographs will be taken following your consent. These photographs are strictly confidential, as are the rest of your records. After the treatment, you will given full post-procedure aftercare information.

What patients say...

“Adult acne haunted me for three years; I tried every product on the market. Often I had temporary success with expensive topical treatments, but nothing lasted. Using the Celluma daily healed my skin. After two weeks my cystic acne that spread across my face had diminished dramatically, eliminating deep painful blemishes. After six weeks I did not have inflamed acne blemishes. I have had clear skin for a year now. Celluma gave me my life back!”

Glowing testimonials...

“I've used the Celluma 3 times so far , twice on the anti aging and once on the acne setting and my skin already has an amazing glow to it. Can't wait to see how my skin looks after a few more sessions.”
