LED light therapy at Pause by Mel is a $20 add-on that takes about 20 minutes. Clinical-grade light is held over your skin once it has been cleansed, to calm inflammation, settle acne and encourage collagen. It is painless, there is no recovery time, and it is already included in The Tailored Pause.

Mel adds it after the cleanse and exfoliation rather than at the start, so the light is reaching skin that has actually been prepared for it. You lie back with your eyes covered while it works, which for most people is the quietest twenty minutes of their week.

What does LED light therapy help with?

It is not a one-off fix, and Mel will tell you that honestly. It works best added to a facial you are already having, and best again when it is repeated.

Inflammation

Redness and heat in the skin settle down. Useful if your face tends to react to everything and stay flushed afterwards.

Acne

Helps calm active breakouts and the congestion underneath them, without the stripping that harsher acne treatments bring.

Collagen

Stimulates the skin's own collagen production and supports general healing, which is the slow, cumulative part of the benefit.

How to have it

Add LED to any facial for $20, or book The Tailored Pause, where it is already part of the treatment alongside the Esthemax Hydrojelly Mask.
