WHAT IS PHOTOTHERAPY?
Phototherapy is an advanced approach to maximise facial rejuvenation using Light Emitting Diodes (LED). Instead of heating the skin, lasers and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) rely on thermal injury to prompt the skin to repair itself.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Phototherapy stimulates the skin’s naturally occurring regeneration and repair processes also increasing collagen production for a more youthful and radiant complexion.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
Due to the nature of Phototherapy, photosensitising medications as well as illnesses that cause photosensitivity are considered contraindications to the treatment. While the light used during this treatment is similar to natural day light and is not expected to cause any allergic reaction, some clients may experience momentary redness following a treatment.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE TREATMENT?
At the end of your treatment course a maintenance program of homecare and further treatments will be individually prescribed to ensure you get the very best out of your skin results.
