LED Light Therapy Facial Costs in the UK
LED light therapy facials bathe skin in precise blue, red, or near-infrared wavelengths to calm acne, speed healing, and boost collagen. Clinics pair medical-grade domes such as Dermalux Tri-Wave, Celluma Pro, or Omnilux Contour with cleansing, exfoliation, and customised serums so light can penetrate evenly.
💡 London, Manchester, and Glasgow studios now run dedicated LED suites where therapists map your concerns, choosing blue light for breakouts, amber for pigmentation, and near-infrared for recovery post-peel. Expect safety goggles, pre-session cleansing, and hydration masks to lock in light-triggered results.
LED is often layered with other services - Hydrafacial, chemical peel, or microneedling - to shorten downtime. Review our guides on Hydrafacial treatments and chemical peels if you plan a combined treatment plan.

Factors that Affect LED Facial Pricing
🔆 Device grade
Medical-grade Dermalux Tri-Wave MD units deliver stronger irradiance and cooling fans, pushing prices higher than portable consumer domes.
🎨 Colour protocols
Multi-wave sequences (blue + red + near-infrared) run longer and use more energy, increasing appointment length and cost.
🧴 Prep + finish
Clinics that include enzyme exfoliation, sheet masks, or oxygen spray add £15 - £35 per visit.
🩺 Clinical oversight
CQC-regulated clinics tracking medical conditions and healing progress invest in consultation time and sterile consumables, reflected in fees.
📅 Course scheduling
Booking multiple sessions within four weeks unlocks package pricing but requires up-front payment.
How to Save on LED Light Therapy
📦 Buy bundles
Six-pack memberships reduce per-session cost to ~£60 instead of £95.
⏰ Choose off-peak slots
Lunch-hour or weekday morning appointments help clinics fill gaps, often giving free LED add-ons with facials.
🪞 Maintain at home
Use clinic-approved LED masks between pro sessions to extend results so you can book courses quarterly instead of monthly.
🎁 Referral rewards
Studios like The Light Salon grant £20 credit per referral, which covers most LED add-ons.
FAQs
How often should I book LED sessions?
Acne or pigmentation plans usually run 2 - 3 sessions per week for four weeks, then monthly maintenance. Expect total spend around £360 for an eight-session plan.
Is LED painful?
No, you simply feel gentle warmth. Clinics provide goggles and cooling fans for comfort.
Can LED treat rosacea?
Yes, red and amber wavelengths calm inflammation. Ensure the clinic uses medical-grade devices and gradual exposure.
Do I need downtime?
None - just apply SPF afterwards. LED is safe immediately before events because it reduces redness.
Conclusion
LED facials range from £35 add-ons to £150 advanced protocols, while multi-session healing bundles land between £300 and £520. Match colour wavelengths to your concern, invest in bundles for consistency, and lean on referrals or off-peak offers to keep glow therapy affordable. ✨
