Why it works: What you need to know about LED Light Therapy at Horwood House Hotel and Spa

Taking a fusion of Skin Elixirs packed with vitamins, peptides, hyaluronic acid and antioxidants, and encouraging them to go deep into the skin for smoother, brighter and firmer results from the first session, here's what LED Light Therapy at Horwood House Hotel and Spa is all about.

What does LED Light Therapy involve?

LED Light Therapy is designed to deeply hydrate, rejuvenate, and revitalise the skin using advanced electroporation technology, which helps deliver active ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin without needles.

Step-by-step, the treatment involved:

• Skin preparation: The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove makeup, oil and impurities.
• Exfoliation: A gentle acid peel is selected according to the client's skin type and concerns to remove dead skin cells and prepare the skin for maximum absorption.
• Needle-free Mesotherapy with Electroporation: A medical-grade electroporation device is used to create temporary micro-channels in the skin, allowing concentrated serums and active ingredients to penetrate much deeper than they would with topical application alone.
• Peel-off mask: A soothing peel-off mask is applied to calm and nourish the skin while locking in hydration.
• Relaxation massage: During the mask, a relaxing massage of the hands, arms and neck is performed to enhance the overall treatment experience.
• Finishing products: The treatment is completed with an eye cream, targeted serum and moisturiser to protect, hydrate and seal in the benefits.

Where does LED Light Therapy come from?

The treatment is performed using a medical grade electroporation device manufactured in Spain, designed to safely deliver professional mesotherapy treatments without needles.

• Deeply hydrate the skin.

Is there anything you do to enhance the effectiveness of LED Light Therapy?

To maximise results, each treatment is tailored to the client's skin type and concerns. The appropriate acid peel is chosen to prepare the skin, followed by professional mesotherapy elixir delivered using electroporation technology for deeper penetration and improved effectiveness. A calming peel-off mask and professional finishing products help soothe, hydrate, and protect the skin after treatment.

Is there anything you recommend clients do pre or post-treatment to get the most out of it?

Before treatment there's no special preparation required, but it is recommended that you arrive with clean skin where possible and inform your therapist of any medical conditions, allergies or recent skin treatments.

After the treatment, for the best results, we suggest that you:

• Keep the skin well hydrated with a suitable moisturiser.
• Apply SPF daily and protect the skin from direct sun exposure.
• Avoid retinol, exfoliating acids and scrubs for seven days.
• Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot baths and excessive heat for 24 to 48 hours.
