LED and red light therapy in Durham

A gentle, relaxing skin treatment that supports healing, calms inflammation and enhances overall skin health, with no pain and no downtime. At Sirens, LED is used intentionally: as a standalone treatment, or added to other skincare treatments where the skin needs extra support, recovery or calming.

What is LED light therapy?

LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to support the skin’s natural repair processes. Red light therapy is commonly used to help stimulate collagen production, improve circulation and support skin rejuvenation, while other wavelengths may be used to calm breakouts, reduce redness or support healing.

The treatment is comfortable, non invasive and does not generate heat. It works by encouraging skin cells to function more efficiently, helping the skin recover and rebalance over time.

How we use LED at Sirens

LED is never a one size fits all facial here. It is selected based on what your skin needs on the day, and often used to support other treatments rather than replace them. We might recommend it when the skin needs calming or recovery, after other skincare treatments to reduce redness and support healing, as part of a skin plan for acne, inflammation or sensitivity, or simply when the skin looks dull, tired or stressed.

LED and red light therapy may help improve acne and breakouts, redness and inflammation, post treatment sensitivity, dull or tired looking skin and early signs of ageing. It is suitable for all skin tones, and often chosen when the skin needs support rather than exfoliation or active products. We will always advise whether LED is appropriate for your skin and how it should be used.

How many LED sessions will I need?

Some clients notice their skin looks calmer and brighter after just one session. For ongoing concerns such as acne or inflammation, a course of treatments may be recommended, typically 6 to 8 for long term improvements. LED can also be used occasionally as part of a wider skin maintenance routine.

Getting the most from the light

Before your session and aftercare

LED is one of the gentlest treatments we offer, with no downtime, and a little consistency is what makes it shine.

Before your session

Every session includes a consultation so we can tailor the light to you. Tell us about any medication, retinoids or skin conditions when you book.

Arrive with clean skin where you can, or we will cleanse before the light so it reaches your skin properly.

LED is extremely gentle and suits even sensitive skin, so there is nothing to rest or prepare beyond that.

Aftercare

Carry on with your day. LED needs no downtime, and makeup can go straight back on if you like.

Keep your skin hydrated and wear SPF daily, so the light’s work is protected.

Consistency is where LED earns its keep. Most clients see the best long term results with a course of six to eight sessions, and we will plan the spacing with you.

LED questions, answered

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, and many clients with rosacea, redness or post treatment sensitivity find it particularly soothing.

Can I combine LED with other facials?

Yes, and it is often recommended. LED can be added to many advanced or spa facials to enhance their effects. It is 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. For long term improvements like reduced breakouts, redness or fine lines, a course of 6 to 8 treatments is usually recommended for best results.
