Benefits are cumulative and are best maintained with regular treatments
Dull skin, redness, blemish-prone skin, and supporting skin recovery
Most of us ask a lot of our skin. Early starts, long days, central London pollution, changing weather, stress, travel, and the occasional run of late nights can all leave it looking a little less bright and refreshed than we’d like.
LED Light Therapy uses specific wavelengths of light, which are absorbed by cells within the skin. Different wavelengths can be selected depending on your aesthetic goals. Red light is commonly used to support collagen production and promote smoother, brighter-looking skin, while near-infrared light penetrates more deeply and can be incorporated into treatments designed to support the skin following other aesthetic procedures.
Unlike treatments that exfoliate the skin or create a controlled treatment response, LED Light Therapy is gentle and non-invasive. It is suitable for all skin types and can be enjoyed as a standalone treatment or incorporated into a wider aesthetic plan alongside treatments such as microneedling, skin peels, and medical-grade skincare. At Medikaur, we use professional BioNovu LED technology, which allows us to select different light programmes according to your skin and what you would like to achieve.
Some people choose an at-home LED device to continue regular skin-focused treatments between appointments or make light therapy part of their usual self-care routine. We currently offer the BioNovu NovuMask, a flexible, wearable LED mask designed to make regular facial LED treatments easy to incorporate into your routine at home.

There is no expected downtime, so you can return to your usual activities straight away. Your skin may look fresher and more radiant after treatment.
Skin may continue to look calmer and more refreshed, depending on your individual skin and the reason for treatment.
With regular LED sessions, gradual improvements in the appearance of skin tone, texture and radiance may become more noticeable.
LED benefits are cumulative, so regular treatments can help maintain brighter, smoother and healthier-looking skin over time.
You can continue with occasional in-clinic sessions, a recommended course of treatments, at-home LED, or a combination depending on your goals.

Some people choose an at-home LED device to continue regular skin-focused treatments between appointments, while others incorporate light therapy into a wider self-care and wellbeing routine.
Depending on the device you choose, at-home LED can be used on the face, scalp or larger areas of the body. This makes it a flexible option whether your focus is maintaining brighter, healthier-looking skin, supporting the appearance of the hair and scalp, complementing your in-clinic aesthetic treatments, or simply making regular LED sessions part of your routine.
At Medikaur, we offer selected BioNovu home LED devices and can help you choose the option that best suits how you would like to use LED at home.
The NovuMask is a flexible, wearable LED mask designed for regular facial treatments at home. With multiple targeted wavelengths and six treatment modes, it can be incorporated into your routine to support:
Its flexible, cordless design makes it easy to use regularly at home, whether you want to maintain consistency between clinic appointments or make LED Light Therapy part of your usual skincare routine.

That depends on your skin goals and whether you’re using LED therapy in clinic, at home, or alongside other treatments. Consistency is usually more important than intensity.
Yes. LED therapy is commonly combined with treatments such as microneedling, skin peels, facials, and medical-grade skincare plans.
Some people choose LED therapy as part of their wider scalp and hair wellness routine. It’s often combined with other approaches aimed at supporting healthier-looking hair and scalp condition.
High-quality home devices can be a useful way to maintain consistency between clinic appointments. Jane or Dr Gill can advise whether home LED therapy is likely to suit your goals.
Often, yes. LED therapy is generally considered gentle and suitable for many skin types, including sensitive or reactive skin, although suitability should always be assessed individually.

LED light therapy may sound simple, but choosing how and when to use it effectively requires clinical judgement.
Jane Paterson is an Advanced Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner with more than 20 years of experience in aesthetics. Her approach focuses on supporting your skin health in a measured, long-term way rather than constantly chasing aggressive treatments.
For some patients, LED light therapy becomes an important part of maintaining calm, resilient, healthier-looking skin between other treatments. For others, it may be recommended during periods when the skin feels stressed, reactive, or compromised. It can also be a wonderful treatment to help prepare your skin for a special event.
Jane’s broader understanding of skin health and aesthetic treatments means she can help you decide how LED therapy fits into an overall skin health plan rather than treating it as an isolated trend or gadget.
Whether you’re looking for occasional skin support, a calming post-treatment add-on, or a more consistent long-term routine at home, LED therapy can become a valuable part of your skin journey.
