LED Light Therapy
MD Flex LED light therapy in Soho uses red, blue and near-infrared light to support collagen and calm blemish-prone skin, with no downtime, from £40 a session.
The short answer
What this treatment is
LED light therapy is the gentlest treatment in our clinic: you rest under the MD Flex device while specific wavelengths of light go to work on your skin. Red light supports collagen production and calms visible redness, blue light targets the bacteria linked to blemish-prone skin, and near-infrared light reaches deeper to support repair and recovery. There are no needles, no heat damage and no downtime, which is why LED works so well as a standalone course of 10 and as the finishing step after microneedling, peels and facials. Sessions are quietly restorative: a rare pause in the middle of Soho.

Patient journey
What to expect
Consultation & preparation
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin, or we will cleanse it for you before the light goes anywhere near it. Tell us about any medicines you take, as some increase light sensitivity, and avoid arriving with fresh sunburn.
During treatment
Aftercare
There is nothing to recover from: no redness, no peeling, no restrictions. Carry on with your normal skincare and daily SPF, and keep to your planned session rhythm, because consistency is what makes a course of LED work.

FAQ
Common
questions
How much does LED light therapy cost?
A single session is £40, and a course of 10 is £360, which prices each session at £36. LED is also often added to facials, chemical peels and SkinPen microneedling as a calming, collagen-supporting finish. Klarna and Clearpay are available, and we will recommend an honest number of sessions at consultation.
Is LED light therapy safe?
Yes, for most people. LED uses visible and near-infrared light, not UV, so it does not tan or burn the skin, and treatment is painless with no downtime. It suits most skin types and tones. We screen for the exceptions at consultation, including photosensitive conditions and medicines that increase light sensitivity.
Red light or blue light: which one do I need?
Red light supports collagen and calms visible redness, so it suits dull, tired or reactive skin. Blue light targets the bacteria linked to breakouts, so it suits blemish-prone and congested skin. Near-infrared reaches deepest for repair and recovery. Many plans combine wavelengths across a course, and we will match the light to your skin.
How many LED sessions until I see results?
LED is cumulative, so think in courses rather than one-offs. Skin often looks calmer and brighter after a single session, but the meaningful changes, steadier tone, fewer breakouts, better resilience, build over a course of 10 with regular attendance. Individual results vary, and we review progress as your course goes on.
Can LED be combined with other treatments?
Yes, that is where it shines. LED is a natural finishing step after SkinPen microneedling and chemical peels, calming the skin and supporting recovery, and it layers neatly into facials. Within a bespoke treatment plan it becomes the steady maintenance thread between appointments. We sequence everything at your face-to-face consultation.
