Thirty minutes under a medical-grade LED panel, £40, or added to any treatment for £20
LED therapy
Thirty minutes lying under a medical-grade LED panel: red light for calming and recovery, blue for breakouts, near-infrared after microneedling and peels. Painless and gentle enough for redness and sensitive skin, £40 on its own, £20 added to another treatment, usually as a course of six once a week.
LED is the gentlest treatment we offer and the one with the most modest claims. The evidence is best for calming redness and inflammation, helping skin recover after other treatments, and blue light for mild breakouts. It will not lift, tighten or erase anything, and we will not say it does.
You lie under a curved panel of light-emitting diodes for twenty to thirty minutes with protective goggles on. Nothing touches your skin and nothing feels warm beyond pleasant. Red light is used for redness and recovery, blue for breakouts, and near-infrared after microneedling and peels to help the skin settle.
Because it is gentle, LED is where we start for sensitive and reactive skin, and for redness that a peel would aggravate. A course is usually six sessions a week apart; it works best alongside a sensible routine and SPF.
LED is not suitable if you are taking a medicine that makes you sensitive to light, have a condition affected by light, or have epilepsy triggered by light. We ask at the consultation.

Questions about lED therapy
Is LED safe?
For most people, yes: it uses visible and near-infrared light without ultraviolet. It is not for people on light-sensitising medication or with light-triggered conditions, which is why we ask about both first.
Will it help my rosacea?
Red light can calm redness for some people with rosacea, as a support to treatment from your GP or a dermatologist, not instead of it.
