No needles or skin removal.
LED delivers light to the skin without resurfacing, puncturing or removing the skin surface.
SKIN HEALTH + LIGHT THERAPY
LED light therapy.
A gentle, non-invasive treatment designed to support skin quality, calm the appearance of redness and complement your broader skin care plan.
At Dermal Distinction, LED is selected according to your skin, your concerns and where it fits within your overall treatment plan.
ABOUT LED LIGHT THERAPY
Light selected for your skin.
LED light therapy uses specific wavelengths of visible and near-infrared light as a gentle, non-invasive skin treatment.
Different wavelengths interact with the skin in different ways, which is why LED is selected according to your skin condition, your concerns and the purpose of the treatment.
It can be used as a standalone treatment or incorporated into a broader skin plan, particularly when we want to support skin quality without adding additional downtime.
Different colours have different roles.
The wavelength selected depends on what we are trying to support within your individual skin treatment plan.
LED can complement other treatments.
It may be incorporated before or after selected skin procedures when appropriate for your treatment plan.
Designed to be gentle on the skin.
LED itself does not rely on heat, abrasion or resurfacing, making it a useful option when a gentle approach is preferred.
WHY ASSESSMENT STILL MATTERS
LED is not one single treatment setting for every skin type. We consider your skin, current concerns and other treatments before deciding where LED fits within your plan.
DIFFERENT LIGHT. DIFFERENT PURPOSE.
Which LED light do we use?
LED is not simply one colour of light.
Different wavelengths penetrate and interact with the skin differently. The light selected depends on your skin, the concern being treated and the LED system being used.
01
RED LIGHT
Skin support & recovery
Red wavelengths are commonly used in LED protocols focused on supporting skin quality and recovery.
02
BLUE LIGHT
Blemish-prone skin
Blue light may be selected as part of an LED plan for patients with blemish-prone or congested skin.
03
NEAR-INFRARED
Deeper light penetration
Near-infrared wavelengths penetrate differently from visible light and may be incorporated into selected skin and recovery protocols.
IT IS NOT ABOUT CHOOSING A COLOUR
You do not need to decide which LED wavelength you need. We select the appropriate light according to your skin and where LED fits within your overall treatment plan.
WHERE LED FITS
More than a standalone facial.
LED can be used on its own or incorporated into a broader skin treatment plan.
How we use it depends on your skin, the concern being treated and whether you are having other procedures at the same time. For some patients it becomes part of regular skin maintenance; for others it is used around selected treatments.
01
STANDALONE LED
A gentle skin session
LED may be selected as a simple, non-invasive appointment when the aim is to support overall skin quality without resurfacing or significant downtime.
02
SKIN PLANS
Part of a longer-term approach
LED can sit alongside other skin treatments when a combination approach is more appropriate for your concerns.
03
AFTER SELECTED PROCEDURES
Supporting the treatment journey
Depending on the procedure and your individual skin, LED may be incorporated after selected treatments as part of your post-treatment care plan.
04
INDIVIDUAL CONCERNS
Selected according to your skin
Different wavelengths may be considered for concerns such as blemish-prone skin, visible redness or general skin rejuvenation, depending on suitability.
THE IMPORTANT PART
BOOK AN APPOINTMENT
LED is not automatically added to every appointment. We consider whether it has a useful role within your individual treatment plan.
YOUR LED APPOINTMENT
What does LED feel like?
LED is designed to be a comfortable, non-invasive treatment.
You simply relax while the light is positioned over your skin. There are no needles, no abrasion and no removal of the skin surface.
01
ASSESS
We look at your skin first.
Your skin, current concerns and any other treatments are considered before deciding how LED should be used.
02
RELAX
The light does the work.
Protective eyewear is used where appropriate and the LED device is positioned over the treatment area while you relax.
03
AFTERWARDS
Return to your day.
LED itself does not involve resurfacing or skin injury, so it generally requires no recovery period. If LED is combined with another procedure, aftercare will depend on that treatment.
COMFORT
Gentle & non-invasive
DOWNTIME
Usually none from LED itself
TREATMENT PLAN
Standalone or combined
SUITABILITY
Assessed individually
IF LED IS PART OF ANOTHER TREATMENT
Your experience and aftercare may be different when LED is used alongside a peel, microneedling, laser or another skin procedure. We will explain this as part of your treatment plan.
LED AT DERMAL DISTINCTION
A simple treatment, selected for your skin.
LED can be a gentle standalone treatment or part of a broader skin plan.
If you are unsure whether LED is appropriate for your skin, book an appointment and we can discuss your concerns, current skin care and other treatments you may be considering.
