The benefits of light therapy have been established for many years in the medical field. Now these benefits are available in the cosmetic field. LED light was researched and developed by NASA in order to find an effective way for injured astronauts to heal themselves in space. LED therapy uses pulses of visible therapeutic light over many wavelengths that deliver energy to all layers of the skin. Within these layers we are able to reach the source of wrinkles, cystic and bacterial acne, hyper-pigmentation, scarring, and much more with out any pain or downtime.
There are two different types of LED lights that we use in our practice: Red and Blue Light.
RED LIGHT: Red light helps to encourage collagen production and healing in the skin. It increases blood and oxygen flow to the skin and capillaries, therefore increasing cellular metabolism and strengthening the capillary walls. LED therapy can help tighten the skin without any downtime, making this treatment ideal for anti-aging. Red light is not only beneficial in anti-aging, it is also an excellent treatment for acne, scarring, and rosacea. By encouraging the skin to heal itself at a faster pace than it would on its own, we can help to prevent scarring. It is an excellent treatment for healing cystic acne.
Blue Light: Our Blue Light is the only one currently FDA approved for acne. Blue light kills surface bacteria on the skin and makes it an unfriendly environment for bacteria to form.
A series of treatments is suggested for maximum results. Packages are available as always.

Basic LED therapy $135 If repeated within the week $65
Specialty Enhancements:
Alpha Hydroxy Acid $20 Adding alpha hydroxy acids to an LED treatment provides a deep but gentle exfoliation. Exfoliating the skin is important for just about any skin condition, particularly wrinkles, pigmentation, and acne.
Extractions $25 Performing extractions is an excellent way to keep the pores clean and unclogged. In an extraction treatment, first a glycolic mask is applied to soften the grease deposits in the pore and then steam is applied to open the pores. Next gentle pressure is applied to the pore in order to remove the impurity. Extractions are important for preventing breakouts and avoiding enlarged pores that are cause by the lining of the pore stretching due to a buildup inside.
Acne Facial $55 Adding an acne facial to Led Therapy will greatly increase the benefits on acne skin. Adding this type of facial to the Led may reduce the amount of overall treatments needed. It may also reduce the amount of time until significant results are seen.
Microdermabrasion $55 LED with microdermabrasion is perhaps one of the most intense and beneficial treatments for many different skin types, particularly for anti-aging and scarring. Led therapy addresses the skin from the inner layers out, while the microdermabrasion works on resurfacing the outer layers of the skin .
