LED LIGHT THERAPY
Our Approach to LED Light Therapy
At Dr Hadges Medical Aesthetics, LED light therapy is a calming, non-invasive treatment that supports skin healing, reduces inflammation, and stimulates collagen - all without downtime or discomfort. It’s an excellent complement to many aesthetic procedures or a gentle stand-alone option for maintaining healthy, radiant skin.
LED light works by delivering specific wavelengths of energy into the skin to trigger beneficial cellular processes. Red light supports collagen and wound healing, blue light helps reduce acne-causing bacteria, and near-infrared light penetrates deeper to calm inflammation and support tissue repair.
With over 35 years of clinical experience, Dr Stephen Hadges integrates LED therapy into holistic skin care plans - from post-procedure recovery to active skin concerns like redness, breakouts, or dullness. Treatments are medically guided, soothing, and suitable for all skin types.

TREATMENT JOURNEY
LED is safe for most, but we begin with a brief skin consultation to ensure it's appropriate for your concerns and current skin condition.
We will:
Assess your skin type and primary concerns.
Review recent procedures or skincare that may affect treatment timing
Choose the correct light wavelength(s) for your needs — red, blue, or near-infrared.
Integrate LED therapy into your broader treatment or recovery plan.
Each session is simple, relaxing, and completely non-invasive.
Treatment lasts 20–30 minutes.
You’ll lie back comfortably while light is gently applied to the skin.
No pain, no heat — just a warm, calming glow.
A series of treatments is often recommended for best results (e.g., weekly for 4–6 weeks).
LED therapy is often used as ongoing skin maintenance or alongside other treatments for enhanced results.
After your treatment, we:
Advise on skincare to support and extend your results.
Combine LED with facials, injectables, or laser for synergistic benefits.
Recommend session frequency based on your goals — from weekly healing to monthly maintenance.
Monitor your skin’s progress over time.
