WHITE LIGHT

One of three ‘colours’ in the spectrum of LED light facial treatments. A bank of safe, UV-free lights are directed at the skin from a few inches away which feels like lying in intense (but safe) sunlight — something that’s also said to help those suffering Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) or the winter blues. White light promises to soothe, repair and reduce inflammation, red light is used to slow and reduce the signs of ageing to rejuvenate, stimulate collagen and promote healing, while blue light is effective for treating acne given its ability to kill off breakout-causing bacteria. About Face clinics use the Omnilux brand, offering it as a standalone treatment, and to reduce healing time after laser or IPL treatments.
