THE LED GLOW FACIAL

Now available at Shine, Newington Green with with Becky Clarke

A heavenly bespoke facial which combines the biodynamic power of Dermalux LED phototherapy and a holistic facial.  Prepping the skin before the LED, I use a combination of hand-crafted organic products and a range of serums depending on your skin’s needs.

DERMALUX LED PHOTOTHERAPY
Multi award winning light therapy

Dermalux LED phototherapy is a non-invasive treatment that harnesses the power of pure light to accelerate the skins natural rejuvenation and repair processes.
Dermalux light therapy is clinically proven to treat many skin concerns from acne to skin ageing and sensitive skin conditions such as rosacea, psoriasis, and eczema.  The visible effects are immediate - one treatment instantly energises skin cells to revitalise a dull and tired complexion and irritation is calmed.  A course of treatments offers dramatic and long-lasting visible results in the appearance and health of the skin.

Dermalux LED phototherapy is recommended for treating:

Skin rejuvenation
Acne and problem skin
Eczema and Dermatitis
Pigmentation
Rosacea and redness
Environmentally damaged skin
Wound healing and scarring
Muscular and joint pain relief

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE TREATMENT?

The treatment starts with a double cleanse using hot basalt stones to gently relax the facial muscles.  Next an exfoliator packed full of natural fruit enzymes to gently slough away dead skin cells for an instantly brighter complexion.  A serum is then applied before the LED is positioned over the face (the LED helps the actives in the serum penetrate deeper into the skins layers).  Whilst you relax under the light for the next 25-30mins, I will massage out any tension in your upper back and neck, your arms, hands, and your feet.  By this point you should have drifted off into a deep meditative state.  After the LED has finished, I will apply a divine cold pressed facial oil and massage the face with a blend of flowing massage strokes, lymphatic drainage, pressure points and focus on the jaw and masseter muscles which contribute to TMJ symptoms and tension headaches.  I finish off by sweeping cold marble stones over the face and neck to gently awaken the nervous system and aid any residual drainage of toxins. This is lovely as a stand-alone treatment to perk up your skin and get an instant glow.  However, if you have specific concerns, it’s much better to commit to a course of treatments to see long lasting results.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

LED light therapies are based on research by NASA which shows that certain frequencies of light trigger the body to convert light energy into cell energy.  This increased energy enhances cellular metabolism which in turn builds collagen, increases elasticity, kills bacteria, boosts circulation, and accelerates tissue repair.  Lab studies have shown that skin cells can regenerate themselves up to 200% faster when exposed to certain LED wavelengths and hydration can be increased by up to 600%.  The results are immediate and can increase over 3 days.  It also has positive influences on the body overall, increasing Vitamin D production and boosting energy.

RED LIGHT THERAPY 633nm - Repairs, rejuvenates and revitalises the skin.

Rejuvenating red light accelerates cell renewal and repair, boosting collagen and elastin synthesis for smoother firmer skin.  Excellent treatment for sensitive skin conditions such as rosacea, eczema, and psoriasis.

BLUE LIGHT THERAPY 415nm - Powerful antibacterial properties.

Blemish fighting blue light destroys the bacteria which causes acne and helps in the prevention of further breakouts.  It normalises oil production and is an effective alternative to medication.

NEAR INFRA-RED THERAPY 830nm - Anti-ageing, pigmentation, wound healing, and scars.

Near Infra-Red is the most deeply absorbed wavelength by skin tissue and works synergistically with red light to achieve optimum rejuvenation and repair. Tackles pigmentation, tightens and firms the skin, prevents and reduces scars, relieves pain and inflammation, and improves healing time. For rapid and enhanced results, a combination of 2 or 3 wavelengths can be used in one treatment to tackle multiple concerns.

HOW SAFE IS IT?

LED Phototherapy does not contain harmful UV wavelengths and so cannot damage skin cells. Dermalux provides one of the safest ways to treat all skin types and conditions without risk of irritation, unwanted side effects or downtime.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO I NEED AND WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?

Following a treatment there will be an immediate visible change to the skin, it will have a healthy glow and look more luminous, but most improvements are seen gradually over a course of treatments.  How many treatments you need depends on age, skin type and condition.  A single session is a great pick me up, but as new skin cells take approximately 28 days to reach the top layer of the skin, this means that although you will see an immediate glow from the first session, many of the benefits will be seen progressively.

The Dermalux LED phototherapy treatment can also be added into any body massage with Becky - boosting your complexion without having to commit any additional time out of your day.  The LED can work its magic on your face whilst I work on the front of your body (the skin will just need a quick cleanse at the beginning).

The LED is also a perfect addition to a sports and remedial massage as it accelerates healing time and reduces inflammation dramatically.  Red light therapy is used by elite and recreational athletes in all sports to enhance performance, accelerate muscle recovery and treat muscle fatigue. Dozens of peer-reviewed clinical studies support the use of red-light therapy for sports injuries. From runner’s knee to shin splints, to lower back pain to tennis elbow as well as meniscus tears.

Only available at Shine on the Green with Becky Clarke.

I recently had the 'LED Glow Facial' with the lovely Becky Clarke. My skin has honestly never looked or felt better. I have had compliments from people since the treatment! Becky is a maverick of her craft, so I knew I would be in good hands. Becky instantly makes you feel at ease, she has such a warm and friendly presence. Not only did I get a stunning facial, with oils and products that Becky makes herself, followed by basking under a warming LED light, the mostpart of the treatment included dreamy head, arm, hand, shoulder, and foot massage. I got the complete best of both worlds, and am very grateful I booked in!

Thanks Carla, we will pass on the great review to Becky.

This was a facial but not as you know it because Becky brought with it both her incredible skills as a massage therapist and her handmade organic cleansers and serums. It's a bespoke facial and I needed both some pepping up of tired-looking skin as well as addressing an area of congestion around my chin. The whole experience was a series of soothing sensations combining facial massage, hot cloths and a cold roller to apply the divine-smelling products. While the LED was over my face, Becky gave me a deeply relaxing massage of my arms, hands, shoulders, chest and feet (not just any old massage as Becky is a highly experienced massage therapist), so I wasn't just lying under the light. This facial is done with such care and thought – I left feeling renewed in mind and body, and my skin looked radiant. The area of congestion calmed over the next couple of days and my skin looked clear and healthy. I can't recommend Becky highly enough.

Thank you Lisa, we really appreciate you taking the time to give Becky this review.

Very pleased with the instant results the LED Glow Facial had on my mild but lingering hormonal acne, which cleared after just one session. Becky is very knowledgable about what can be achieved/treated with the different coloured lights. I had a combination of red and blue. This is also a lovely treatment for general wellbeing as it includes a relaxing head and neck massage as well as a facial boost. Seeing as research suggests the red LED light can stimulate collagen production over time I will definitely be booking in for more treatments!

We are so glad that you enjoyed it and reaped the rewards Sian.
