Ezentials is pleased to introduce this state-of-the-art skin care technology to the Greater City of Sudbury! LED (light-emitting diodes) is a noninvasive treatment that uses light technology to produce smoother, tighter, and more radiant-looking skin!
This new skin rejuvenation system has recently garnered considerable media attention, receiving positive reviews from many in the industry including Dermatology Times, Skin Inc, and Day Spa as well as the public media such as ABC’s Good Morning America and shows like Extreme Makeover. Worldwide research during the past 10 years from organizations such as NASA has demonstrated that light applied to the skin at certain wavelengths results in intercellular communication and subsequent skin rejuvenation.
With this exciting new field of noninvasive light therapy treatments comes a slew of LED systems rushing to the market. Of course, not all LED devices are created equal. But, as always at Ezentials, we’ve sorted through the masses to select only the best! Our LED system was developed by dermatologists, FDA approved, and offered through Éminence Organic Skin Care - our favorite and most trusted skincare company.

What are the main benefits of LED?
LED is a safe and effective way to promote youthful, healthier-looking skin. With multiple treatments, LED helps to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots. It improves moisture to the skin, reduces large pores, and promotes collagen regeneration. In addition, LED has been FDA approved as an effective treatment for acne.
What is LED and how does it work?
LED (light-emitting diodes) is a noninvasive treatment that uses light technology. When used for cosmetic purposes, LED provides a safe and effective way to produce smoother, tighter, and more radiant-looking skin.
Specifically, the LED system uses photo-pulsation or low-level light therapy to reduce the signs of aging. The LED emits this visible therapeutic light at different wavelengths to deliver energy to all layers of the skin. Since the skin cells are photoreceptive (i.e., responsive to light), the light stimulates the cells to produce energy (in the form of ATP) and collagen. This effect dramatically increases circulation to the skin and helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Do I need an initial consult before receiving LED treatments?
Yes. During an initial consultation (up to 30 minutes), your esthetician will review your skin care concerns, discuss relevant health history, review details about LED, and answer any questions you may have. Also during that time, your esthetician will make specific recommendations for a course of LED treatments that is specific for your skin care concerns.
What is involved in each treatment?
To prepare the skin for LED, each treatment will begin with cleansing (to remove make-up and improve penetration of the LED lights), followed by a toner and therapeutic serum (to enhance the benefits of treatment). LED light therapy will then be administered and a moisturizer will be applied at the end of the treatment.
How long does a treatment take?
Each LED treatment typically lasts 10-20 minutes, depending on the condition of the skin. During your initial consultation, your skin care specialist will determine the length of treatment required to address your concerns.
How many treatments are required to see results?
The number of treatments required varies depending on the age and skin condition of the client. In general, it takes six treatments to achieve desired results with maintenance treatments every four to eight weeks. Ten treatments may be required for certain skin types and conditions (e.g., severe acne).
How often would I need to come for treatments?
For the first course of treatment, we recommend treatments once every seven days for Red LED (for anti-aging) and twice a week for Blue LED (for acne). Once the desired results are achieved (typically after 6 to 10 treatments), treatments can be spaced further apart for maintenance.
Is there any discomfort during or after treatment?
No. In fact, the treatment is quite relaxing and there is no recovery time afterward. It is so convienent, you can slip in and out during a lunch break!
Does LED work on all skin types?
LED is effective on all skin types, regardless of ethnicity.
Are there any reasons why I would not be able to have LED treatments?
LED is not suitable for you under the following circumstances:
Absolutely. The LED light uses less energy than a night light. The treatments have no undesireable side effects, no down time, and do not utilize any ultraviolet light. In addition, our LED Light Therapy's cool temperatures cannot harm the skin in any way, and the disposable plastic pulsator covers assures that only a sanitized pulsator touches the skin.
What is the cost of the treatments?
The cost varies according to the treatment time required. On average, each treatment ranges from $45 to $65. Discounts are available for specific pre-paid packages of treatments.
