light-based skin treatments
Angela explains: “Green cools and reduces redness, blue reduces swelling and offers antibacterial affects for the treatment of Acne, red rejuvenates and stimulates the lymphatic system, whilst yellow tones and smoothes the skin, as well as promoting the production of collagen.
“LED therapy converts light energy within the skin cells, like photosynthesis, which takes sunlight and converts it into food energy in plants. The LED lights stimulate natural processes to help rejuvenate the
skin.As with other pieces of electrotherapy equipment, the lower the Hz the deeper the current (or in this case, the light) will penetrate.When the selected colour penetrates down to the appropriate layer, that colour’s wavelength causes a change in the cells.”
SkinFirst Systems SuperMPL Combi features advanced IPL (known asmulti pulsed light orMPL) and both monopolar and bipolar radio frequency.
Angela explains further: “When the cells change, this results in the walls of the skin's capillaries being strengthened. This leads to improved oxygenation and detoxification of the skin. The skin’s water content (hydration) is increased and the ability of the skin to retain that moisture improves. Increased cellular activity, improved natural repair, and creation of healthy skin conditions also follow. Having a healthy skin condition also allows the cells to regenerate faster and more effectively.”
The new bt-accent LED utilises LED lights to offer solutions tomany skin problems.
Another benefit of LED treatments is your clients can relax knowing that although their skin is receiving a light-based treatment, they are not at risk. “The LEDs cannot produce harmful UVA or UVB rays, or infrared radiation; therefore, it is a totally safe treatment,” addsAngela.

types of LEDs, red and blue, and is fully adjustable to fit a variety of client and service needs. Simply adjust the machine and choose which colour will best aid your client’s skin complaint.
Alternatively, Omnilux LED Light Therapy, available from Cosmeceuticals, uses LED light therapy to stimulate specific cell processes to create advanced skin renewal. The two key wavelengths used by the machine for skin rejuvenation are Omnilux Revive (red) light at 633nm and Omnilux Plus (near infrared) at 830nm. These very specific wavelengths have been researched and clinically proven to increase collagen and HyaluronicAcid production in the skin whilst also improving skin healing and reducing redness.
The treatment offers clinical results when a course is completed but it also can be added to any facial treatment to boost results and create a deeper effect. The scope of clients that benefit is extremely wide as it can boost healing after procedures, be used for sensitive, Rosacea and inflamed skin types and improve problematic skins.
Because it can also be combined with treatments such as micro-skin needling, peels,Microdermabrasion or laser, it is extremely versatile. The treatment is very relaxing and completely painless as the wavelengths are simply made up of natural light and it also has very few contra- indications.
Training is available to all qualified therapists level three and above, devised into a one-day module that explores all wavelengths and treatment options to ensure confidence and results.
