LED Facials Durham – Light Therapy for Skin Healing & Glow

What Is LED Light Therapy?

LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy is a non-invasive skin treatment
that uses different light wavelengths to target acne, inflammation, ageing, and
dullness. It stimulates natural cell regeneration, increases collagen production, and
accelerates healing, making it a favourite for all skin types.
At Sirens in Durham, LED facials are used both as a stand-alone treatment and as
part of our advanced skin packages. They’re safe, comfortable, and completely painfree.

HOW DOES LED PHOTOTHERAPY WORK?

LED Phototherapy is based on the principle that living cells are able to absorb and are influenced by light and the treatment has long been recognised for its regenerating and anti-inflammatory properties.

While we often associate light exposure with skin ageing and damage, light also has many positive influences on the body. It helps us produce vitamin D and provides energy and serotonin and can also accelerate our skin’s natural repair processes.

On-going exposure to UV light is very damaging but controlled levels of Red, Blue and Near Infrared light are clinically proven to be beneficial.

The LED Phototherapy treatment involves exposing the skin to low levels of this beneficial light energy from the visible and infrared part of the light spectrum which energises cellular function to stimulate the skin. Skin cells that are energised function better and regenerate faster which in turn leads to younger, healthy and radiant skin.

LED FAQs

Is LED therapy safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. LED therapy is extremely gentle and non-invasive, making it suitable for even
the most sensitive skin types. We can adjust the light wavelengths and duration to
suit your skin’s needs. In fact, many clients with rosacea, redness, or post-treatment
sensitivity find LED especially calming.

Can I combine LED with other facials?

Yes, and it’s often recommended. LED can be added to many advanced or spa
facials to enhance their effects. It’s especially effective after treatments like
microneedling, peels or barrier-repair facials to boost healing and reduce
inflammation.

How quickly will I see results?

Many clients notice a visible glow and calmer skin after just one session. However,
for long-term improvements—like reduced breakouts, redness or fine lines a course
of 6–8 treatments is usually recommended for best results.
