LED light therapy with a clear purpose for your skin.
An LED session should have a defined skin goal rather than simply a colour choice. At MHB Aesthetic in Mayfair, discuss your concern, current skincare and any light sensitivity before deciding whether LED has a useful place in your treatment plan.

LED light therapy: key details
- Price
- The cost is confirmed in your individual quote. Check current prices and booking options.
- Sessions
- The number depends on the indication, device and your response. Ask for a clear review point and the overall cost. Repeating a treatment indefinitely is not a substitute for checking whether it is actually helping your concern.
LED stands for light-emitting diode. A treatment device exposes the skin to selected wavelengths of light without deliberately removing the surface as an ablative laser would. Wavelength, output, distance and exposure protocol affect the treatment, so one LED product cannot be assumed to behave like another.
Different settings may be discussed for different concerns, including some acne-related or skin-quality goals. Clinical benefit depends on the indication and device; a coloured glow is not evidence of a particular effect. LED does not remove excess skin, replace lost facial volume or reliably erase scars.
At our Regent Street clinic, the practitioner should explain whether LED is being considered alone or alongside another treatment. Ask what meaningful improvement is expected and how it will be reviewed. Persistent redness, painful acne or a rash should be assessed rather than automatically included in a cosmetic light session.
Concerns to discuss
- Skin-quality treatment options
- Acne-related questions
- A low-intensity facial option
- Light sensitivity
- Coordinating a wider skin plan
What can LED light therapy help with?
A consultation helps establish the changes that may be achievable and whether treatment is appropriate for you.
An intact-surface approach
LED does not intentionally resurface the skin with an ablative injury. That can be relevant when comparing treatment intensity, although a lighter procedure still requires suitable eye protection and a medical-history check.
Use a specific treatment goal
A device-specific plan can identify why light treatment is being considered. Ask how the chosen setting relates to your concern rather than assuming every colour treats every skin condition.
Review value over time
If several visits are proposed, agree when to reassess. A course should provide a worthwhile benefit for your particular concern and should not delay more appropriate medical or skincare treatment.
Treatment response and duration vary. Your practitioner should explain realistic expectations and alternatives before you decide.
Explore suitability & risks
Is this treatment right for you?
Tell the practitioner about light-triggered conditions, migraine or seizure history, eye conditions and all medicines or supplements. Some medicines and skincare products increase photosensitivity, which can affect whether exposure is appropriate.
Pregnancy, recent procedures, unexplained lesions and an active skin flare should be discussed before booking. Suitability depends on the actual device and protocol. A home LED mask and a clinic device do not establish the same evidence or treatment parameters.
Discuss your suitabilityPossible risks & limitations
Temporary redness, dryness, warmth, headache or irritation may occur. Unsuitable exposure or photosensitivity can worsen symptoms. Eye protection must follow the device's instructions; closing your eyes alone should not be assumed adequate.
Do not continue a session through uncomfortable heat, eye symptoms or a skin reaction. Tell the practitioner immediately and seek medical assessment for persistent eye pain, visual changes or a significant reaction after exposure.

Recovery depends on your treatment, the area and your individual response. Follow the specific written instructions provided by your practitioner.
Discuss your care planFor urgent treatment or aftercare concerns, contact the MHB team.
0755 447 7034Check light-sensitive products
Provide a current medicine and skincare list before treatment. Ask about recent peels, laser or other procedures. Do not stop a prescribed medicine to make an LED appointment possible without medical advice.
Follow device-specific care
If LED is used alongside another procedure, the more intensive procedure may determine recovery and skincare restrictions. Confirm which instructions apply rather than assuming the whole appointment has no downtime.
Review the skin concern
Continue the agreed gentle routine and sun protection. If the concern worsens or the planned course offers little benefit, ask for a reassessment instead of adding indefinite sessions.

LED light therapy: your questions.
Straightforward answers. And if you’d like to know more, we’re always happy to talk.
Ask us a questionIs LED a laser treatment?
No. LED devices use light-emitting diodes and do not act like ablative resurfacing lasers. The device and wavelength still matter, and the absence of intentional surface injury does not make every exposure appropriate for every patient.
Which LED colour is best?
That depends on the skin concern and the actual device, not simply the visible colour. Ask which wavelength and protocol are proposed, the reason for using them and the evidence relevant to your particular goal.
Can LED cure acne?
It should not be described as a guaranteed cure. Some light protocols may have a role in selected acne plans, but persistent, painful or scarring acne needs appropriate assessment. LED should not delay treatment that addresses the condition more effectively.
Will LED tighten loose skin?
It cannot reproduce the tissue repositioning of surgery or guarantee a visible lift. If laxity is the main concern, compare treatment options and their realistic limitations rather than assuming a light session will address deeper structural change.
How many LED sessions do I need?
The number depends on the indication, device and your response. Ask for a clear review point and the overall cost. Repeating a treatment indefinitely is not a substitute for checking whether it is actually helping your concern.
