LED Therapy in St Ives

LED therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to support your skin from within. At Avismo we use the Dermalux Flex, a gentle and relaxing treatment that can be tailored to your skin, whether you want to calm breakouts, support collagen or simply give tired skin a lift.

How LED light therapy works

LED stands for light-emitting diode. Different colours of light reach different depths in the skin, and each has been studied for a different effect. The treatment uses no heat and no ultraviolet light, and nothing breaks the skin.

Red light is used to support collagen production and help soften the look of fine lines. Blue light targets the bacteria associated with acne. Near-infrared light reaches deeper and is used to support circulation and skin repair. Your session is tailored by choosing the combination that suits your skin.

Because LED works gradually, the best results usually come from a series of sessions rather than a single one. That is why we offer a course of six Dermalux Flex treatments for £275, a saving of £25 on booking individually.

What a session feels like

LED is one of the most relaxing treatments we offer. You lie back comfortably with protective eyewear while the flexible Dermalux Flex panel is positioned close to your face. Most people feel nothing more than a gentle warmth, and many use the time to switch off.

There is no downtime, so you can go straight back to work or out for the evening. Some people notice slight warmth or pinkness for a short while afterwards, which settles quickly.

Because it is so gentle, LED suits most skin types and can be a good option when your skin is feeling sensitive or reactive and you want to support it rather than challenge it.

LED as an add-on

Dermalux Flex works beautifully alongside other treatments, and it can be added to another appointment for £30. After a chemical peel, dermaplaning or a Profacial, a session of LED is a calming way to finish and support your skin as it recovers.

LED also forms part of our Integrated Lymphatic Light Treatment, which combines pressotherapy with LED for the body. If you are unsure where to start with your skin, a skincare consultation with MC10 facial analysis can help us choose the right combination of treatments for you.

For lasting results, what you do at home matters too. Our team offers free skincare consultations to build a routine with ZO Skin Health or our own Avismo Skin range, and daily sun protection such as Daily Defence SPF50+ helps protect the progress you make in clinic.

Results

See real results at your consultation

We only show before and afters of our own clients, with their written consent, so there are none online for this treatment yet. Ask at your free consultation and we will show you examples in person.

On the day

What happens at your appointment

  1. 01 We check your medical history and any medication, as some medicines make the skin more sensitive to light.
  2. 02 Your skin is cleansed so the light can reach it evenly.
  3. 03 You relax with protective eyewear while the Dermalux Flex panel is positioned over your face.
  4. 04 The session runs for around 20 to 30 minutes using the wavelengths chosen for your skin.
  5. 05 Afterwards we apply moisturiser and sun protection, and you can carry on with your day.

Safety

What you need to know before LED Therapy

Every treatment carries risk. Nothing here replaces the consultation, where all of this is discussed with you before you consent to anything.

Not suitable if

  • Medication or supplements that increase sensitivity to light, assessed at consultation
  • A history of light-sensitive conditions or photosensitive epilepsy
  • Active skin cancer or suspicious lesions in the treatment area
  • Pregnancy, assessed individually
  • Eye conditions affected by bright light, assessed individually

Common and expected

  • A gentle feeling of warmth during treatment
  • Slight, temporary redness afterwards

Serious risks

LED therapy has a very good safety record when used appropriately. Serious reactions are rare and are most often linked to light-sensitising medication, which is why we check your medical history and current medication at every visit. Protective eyewear is worn throughout. Let us know straight away if you notice any unusual reaction afterwards.

Aftercare

  • Wear a broad spectrum SPF 50 every day
  • You can usually apply makeup straight away
  • Keep your skin hydrated with gentle, fragrance-free products
  • Keep to your course schedule for the best results
  • Let us know about any new medication before your next session

Questions

Does LED therapy hurt?

No. It is a gentle treatment with nothing touching or breaking the skin. Most people feel a mild warmth and find it very relaxing.

How many sessions will I need?

Results usually build over a series of treatments. We offer a course of six Dermalux Flex sessions for £275, and we will advise on spacing at your first appointment.

Is the light safe for my eyes?

You wear protective eyewear throughout the treatment.

Can I add LED to another treatment?

Yes. Dermalux Flex can be added to another treatment for £30, and it pairs particularly well with peels, dermaplaning and the Profacial.

Is LED suitable for sensitive skin?

LED is gentle and suits most skin types, including skin that is feeling sensitive. We check your history and medication first. Your consultation is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. It is where we check your medical history, talk through what you would like to change, and agree a plan together.

Does LED use UV light?

No. LED therapy does not use ultraviolet light and does not tan or damage the skin.

What is your cancellation policy?

Please give at least 48 hours notice if you need to move or cancel your appointment, so the time can be offered to someone else. Deposits and late-cancellation terms are explained when you book through our online booking system.

I’ve recently had a skin booster with Karen and have most definitely seen a difference. Karen has treatments to suit everyone so highly recommend her as there is absolutely no pressure. You always leave feeling good.
Yvette SWith Karen, Google review
★★★★★
Karen was warm, professional, and very knowledgeable. She explained everything clearly, which made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the treatment. I had microneedling and am so far pleased with the results. I was looking for a more natural way to rejuvenate my skin, and this feels like exactly the right treatment for me. Thank you, Karen!
Sophie TWith Karen, Google review
★★★★★
Karen is extremely knowledgeable and friendly, she has given me a variety of aesthetic treatments over the years and I have always been very pleased with the results. She has also advised me about skin care regimes to help optimise results.

★★★★★
I went through crytherapy treatment for skin tags on my face and chest area twice now with Karen. Both times the marks disappeared without a trace. The treatment is not painful at all however it could be a little unpleasant but Karen made it easier and more bearable with her professional approach and lovely personality. I will definitely recommend this place to everyone who wants professional support on affordable price.

Karen has done facial peels and also micro needling for me for over a year and I have been delighted with the results every time. She is a highly qualified nurse prescriber and, working in the NHS myself, I feel huge confidence in her skills and knowledge, and feel very safe in her hands.

I’ve tried laser hair removal at other places before, but this has by far been the best and most effective experience! I’ve noticed a real difference from my very first session. The space is incredibly clean and calming, and Andrea provides such a professional and thorough service, always making me feel comfortable and at ease. Highly recommend!

Karen is great! Really warm, professional and I’m over the moon with the results. I will definitely be returning for future treatments.
Ben MWith Karen, Google review
★★★★★
I had a really lovely experience at this clinic. The clinic itself is spotless, welcoming and professional, and the staff are medically trained, which gives you real confidence in the care and advice you receive. What really stood out to me was the holistic approach. Rather than focusing on one specific area or simply trying to make you look younger, the advice was centred on enhancing my natural features in a way that feels right for my age. The approach is thoughtful, personalised and genuinely rooted in medical knowledge. I felt listened to, reassured and in very safe hands. I cannot recommend this clinic enough to anyone looking for a professional, considered and natural approach to aesthetics.

I have been having treatments with Karen for 8 years, she is fantastic at what she does, a complete professional. When making decisions about ‘tweakments’ you want to be sure you’re in safe hands and you absolutely would be. I have recently started my laser hair removal journey with Lorna and I cannot recommend enough, I have seen a noticeable difference from my first session. Lorna makes you feel completely comfortable and explains the whole process. Thank you dream team!

★★★★★
Karen runs a really lovely clinic for aesthetics. I’d been wanting to give micro-needling a go for about a year and wish I hadn’t waited so long. Karen is super-professional and the procedure was not painful at all. Karen will put you at ease immediately.
Liv NWith Karen, Google review
★★★★★
I’ve been seeing Lorna for years now, and I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else. As always, she did an amazing job with my HIFU and [anti-wrinkle] treatments. What I really appreciate is how clear and honest she is from the start—she explains exactly what to expect (and makes it clear it’s not a facelift), which I find so reassuring. The results still speak for themselves though—I’m absolutely delighted. Lorna always takes the time to understand what’s right for me and never overdoes anything, which is why I keep going back. I trust her completely, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for natural, professional results.
Lisa RWith Lorna, Google review
★★★★★

I had my first appointment with Lorna for [anti-wrinkle treatment], I was nervous but I was soon put at ease. The treatment was done slowly and carefully, I'm 3 days post treatment, I have no bruising and looking forward to seeing the finished result. The clinic is lovely and clean and spacious, I cant wait for my next treatment in July.

Karen is brilliant at what she does, fills you with confidence both during and after your treatment and always has time for your queries. It's also very comforting to know that your practitioner is a trained nurse with many years of experience behind her.
