An illumiFacial® is a non-invasive light therapy treatment designed to target specific areas of the face in order to improve overall complexion and texture while reducing wrinkles.
It uses LED lights with different wavelengths to penetrate deep into the dermis layer of the skin where collagen production occurs.
The result is firmer, smoother skin with improved tone and texture as well as reduced fine lines and wrinkles.
