What is the treatment for?
It may be used to support skin recovery and comfort, including redness or sensitivity after a treatment, or as part of a wider treatment plan. Depending on the examination, it may also be considered as supportive care for some cases of acne or redness. It does not replace treatment for volume loss or marked pigmentation.
Who is it for?
For someone whose indication benefits from photobiomodulation, alone or as a complement to another treatment. Specific contraindications, such as certain photosensitising medications, are checked in consultation.
Areas concerned
Most often the face, depending on the protocol.
How a session generally unfolds
You are settled under the LED panel, eyes protected, for a defined time. The session is painless, with no burning sensation. No injection is performed during this phase alone.
What kind of result
The intended effect is support for the skin: comfort, recovery, a complement to another procedure. It remains discreet and variable.
How it changes over time
Repeated sessions are often more relevant than a single one. A ten-session package is offered when it makes sense.
Possible after-effects
After-effects are usually minimal. Slight skin sensitivity is possible. Report any unexpected reaction.
General precautions
Follow the instructions if LED is combined with a peel or microneedling: the after-effects are then those of the main procedure. Mention medications and products applied before the session.
Questions
Is LED enough on its own?
Sometimes as support. Often, it is part of a wider protocol. The indication is set in consultation.
Is there downtime?
Generally not. After-effects are those of any associated procedure.
Prices
Prices are indicative. The treatment plan and exact quote are confirmed during consultation, according to the clinical indication.
