LED (Light Emitting Diode) Light Therapy

January 22nd, 2010

At the SKN Holistic Rejuvenation Clinic we unite eastern medicine with western technology by incorporating LED into all of our Facials and Acupuncture treatments. This helps to heal the skin after extractions, reduces redness in clients with rosacea, aides in product penetration and general healing and rejuvenation of the skin.

We also incorporate the blue light for all acne facials to help dry up the excess oil in the skin and prevent potential breakouts.

To give you a little information about LED, what it is, how it works and why it is beneficial for your skin I thought I would write a little blurb. Read more…

December 4th, 2009

dec0409There are four main kinds of photo-facials: Acne, Rosacea, Sun-damage and Skin tightening (Skin Tyte)

What does IPL Mean?
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. The entire spectrum of light is penetrated through a Safire crystal. Because of this and the proper use of filters we can use IPL’s for a variety of treatments.
