LED light therapy can help provide the perfect foundation for great everyday skin when used as part of an intelligent skincare regime. A full-body LED treatment can help balance the body and supply equilibrium. In addition, it also benefits the circulatory system and nearly every tissue and organ through reactions triggered by correct wavelengths of light.
When creating The Light Salon full-body and top-to-toe treatments, Co-Founder Laura Ferguson said, 'We wanted to differentiate ourselves from the full-body beds, considering the treatment experience and results. Combining nurturing touch with the incredible benefits of light, we've succeeded in creating a full body cellular workout and all- encompassing well-being treatment'.
Your treatment
Your LED light treatment starts with your therapist treating the back area by applying a layer of moisture-boosting hyaluronic acid serum on the entire body length. They'll then work with the unique infra-LED light, targeting the base of the neck, spine and the back of your knees. The treatment sends a response signal to the hindbrain, which helps control our sensory neurons and helps ease aches and pains.
Laura adds: 'targeting the dorsal entry zone (base of the spine) will trigger a cascade of activity that travels systemically up through the spine to the brain and around the body, treating all areas and both nervous systems (peripheral and central). The nervous systems are in charge of voluntary and involuntary actions within the body, such as breathing, blood flow and experiencing pain or an ache. Supporting these systems will help manage pain and general repair and relaxation of the body.
Once the back has been treated, the client turns for the Top-to-Toe, the face is cleansed while the light is on the feet, hands and face. Using the lights in the front of the body will boost the immune and lymphatic system, stimulate blood flow, carry nutrients and oxygen around the body, further support the nervous system and encourage repair – all whilst the light's warmth allows the mind to switch off.
While the treatment is not a sleep aid, it does good things to enable your body to go through the correct process to get into a natural rhythm. Photoactivation of a cell will boost the production of nitric oxide* throughout the body, release feel-good endorphins and reduce cortisol, triggering a positive feeling in the body and offering a better sense of well-being.
The treatment's final element involves applying hyaluronic acid and light to the décolletage, tummy and legs, during which your head, face, and shoulders are massaged, completing a luxury and uplifting experience, resetting the body and mind.
Both treatments take place in a private treatment room. Co-founder Hannah Measures says: 'We are delighted to expand our menu with these two additional treatments.
Clients have asked for it, and we have wanted it for ourselves and are very proud of the unique offering. Those who experience the treatment have shared with us they come out of the treatment room feeling like they are floating in the air from a sense of well-being and feel stronger.
