XEN LED THERAPY
LED is a well-recognised cosmetic and medical treatment that delivers a dosage of specific narrow-band light to targeted areas of the skin, stimulating the naturally occurring regeneration and repair processes.
You need this in your life!
This non-invasive treatment is a gentle and natural approach to delivering skin treatments much like the process of photosynthesis. (Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and certain bacteria to harness energy from sunlight and turn it into chemical energy.
Within the dermis the light energy is used to increase cellular Adenosine Triphosphate Production and reduce Reactive Oxygen Species by strengthening cells and reducing inflammation.
So what does that mean?
Well, that basically means that the cell has more power now to do what it needs to do. It has the power to heal faster. It has the power to divide quicker or draw in nutrients, dispose of waste. All of these processes that a cell needs to do to function, to heal.
LED can be used as a standalone treatment or as an add-on to existing treatments, providing enhanced outcomes with faster recovery times. AMAZING for after cosmetic injectables.
THE EXPERIENCE
Before your Xen LED treatment in our Dubbo skin and laser clinic, you’ll have an in depth consultation to help create a personalised treatment plan for you. This is based on an assessment of the treatment area, as well as your medical history. Client safety and care is of the utmost importance to all of us, and therefore this will ensure your happiness and well-being, and that you receive the results you deserve.
What To Expect
As a stand-alone treatment your skin is cleansed of all make-up, deodorants, cosmetics and sunscreen products with an antioxidant cleanser prior to commencing the treatment. Safety eye wear is required during the treatment.
The LED panel is placed over the treatment area, where you get the chance to relax and unwind.
After your LED session has finished, aftercare is followed with active serums, hydrator and of course SPF!
If you have decided to upgrade your skin or laser treatment to include LED (highly recommended), this will be the final step of your treatment, followed by aftercare.
It’s a relaxing procedure that simply requires you to sit back and drift off if you so wish. Your skin will be left plumper, firmer and soft to the touch. You’ll also notice a natural glow, improved mood, and a much more even skin tone.
LED Therapy is a completely safe skin treatment, with no reports of major skin complications or painful side effects.
