Light therapy
LED Light Therapy is painless skin-care treatment that uses light emitting diodes (LED’s) to restore skin’s normal, healthy activity. The energy delivered by the LED’s enhances cellular metabolism and accelerates healing. This in turn stimulates the body to build new collagen, increases circulation, and improves lymphatic function. The result is healthier, younger-looking skin. There is continued and gradual improvement with each subsequent treatment. With a series of 3-6 treatments, your skin will appear smoother, tighter, and more radiant.
How does it work?
The Red Light stimulates the fibroblasts that produce collagen, which gives young skin its plump look. It can also minimize fine lines and wrinkles, repairs sun-damage, and fades age spots.
The Blue Light is used to treat mild to moderate acne by killing the bacteria responsible for breakouts. It also reduces sebum production and minimizes pores.
The Yellow Light stimulates lymphocyte production which activates toxin elimination and reduces inflammation.
The Green Light helps to regulate melanin production, reducing redness and lighten pigmentation.
Is LED for everyone?
While almost everyone can benefit from the use of light therapy, these treatments will have the greatest impact on skin with sluggish metabolism and slow cellular activity showing visible signs of aging. Contraindications for Light Therapy include pregnancy and epilepsy, photo-allergy, and medications that cause light sensitivity (such as Tetracycline). Also, if you are currently taking steroids or cortisone injections, you should not receive Light Therapy.
Aesthetic Kinesiotaping
Is an increasingly popular therapeutic method that uses the body's natural self-healing processes. It consists of applying to selected parts of the body and face special tapes with structure similar to human skin in terms of stretch, thickness and weight. Kinesiotaping is very well known and used by physiotherapists in rehabilitation after injuries, torn muscles and other pains in the joints and spine.
In skincare industry we use this method for face wrapping, thanks to which we stimulate the lymphatic system, eliminate furrows and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and tension, and strengthen the facial muscles. This method is great for the appearance of the skin and prolongs its youth and freshness. We also recommend it in combination with other treatments, in particular with the face lift massage, to relax tense muscles and relieve the face of the stresses of everyday life. Kinesiotaping + massage strengthens the effects of skin rejuvenation and restores its natural tension, as the facial muscles are prepared through massage and exercise.
Benefits of Kinesiotaping
- may reduce swelling,
- supports anti-wrinkle and firming treatments,
- non-invasive and painless stimulation of the facial muscles,
- improves blood supply to cells and blood flow,
- improves tension and appearance of the facial skin.
Kinesiotaping is a safe method, but it is not recommended in the case of open wounds, skin allergies and after treatments with the use of electricity. Tapes are safe and hypoallergenic. Clients leave the office with patches on the face, which must remain stuck for 4 to 8 hours, depending on the condition of the skin and the effect we want to achieve
