5. What is LED light therapy?

Light emitting diode (LED) therapy is a non-invasive, no downtime skin treatment that uses varying wavelengths of light to address various skin conditions. It promotes a natural
photobiochemical reaction similar to the process of plant photosynthesis.

Originally developed by NASA, this treatment boosts your skin's ATP (the energy source of cells) and your skin's natural healing process.

It can help stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, calm inflammation, improve acne, and support overall skin health, all without downtime or discomfort.

6. What is microcurrent?

Microcurrent is often described as "a workout for your face".

It's a non-invasive, no downtime skin treatment that uses gentle, low-level electrical current that mimics the body's own electrical signals.

It is used to stimulate the underlying muscles of the skin to help tone, contour, and lift facial muscles, as well as enhance the performance of products by improving the penetration of active ingredients.

It can also increase ATP (the energy source of cells), support collagen and elastin production, and decrease inflammation.

Additionally, it can aid in wound healing, making it a powerful, restorative tool in skin health.
