LED phototherapy with Healite II™ is a gentle, non-invasive light treatment for a range of skin concerns. It uses different colours of light, including blue, yellow, red and near-infrared light, each targeting specific processes in the skin. The light is directed at the skin from a suitable distance, without touching it.
Depending on the wavelength, the treatment may be considered for acne-prone skin and inflammatory blemishes, pigmentation changes, redness or irritated skin. It can be used on its own or alongside other aesthetic treatments and can also support the skin’s recovery. During your consultation, we assess your skin and decide which wavelength and schedule suit your concern.
Treatment Areas
The treatment is mainly used on the face and, as a complement, on the scalp; other areas can be treated on request.
Skin Ageing and Texture
Near-infrared and red light can support collagen production and improve skin texture. As a result, the skin can look firmer, smoother and more elastic, with a fresher, more even complexion.
Acne-Prone Skin
For acne-prone skin and inflammatory blemishes, a suitable light colour is selected, including blue light. Specific wavelengths act on acne-related bacteria and can help to calm inflammation.
Pigmentation
Light therapy can be used as a supportive treatment for certain pigmentation changes and uneven skin tone. The aim is a more balanced, fresher-looking complexion.
Redness and Irritation
LED light may also be considered for redness and irritated skin. It can help to reduce redness and skin reactions following other aesthetic treatments.
Scalp and Hair Growth
Red light can promote circulation in the scalp and support new hair growth. The treatment may be considered as a complementary option for thinning hair.
How does LED phototherapy work?
LED phototherapy is based on photobiomodulation, a process in which skin cells absorb light energy that can support specific cellular processes. These include processes involved in skin regeneration and in the regulation of inflammation.
The treatment uses blue, yellow, red and near-infrared light. Depending on your skin condition and treatment goal, the light colour is chosen to target inflammation, skin recovery or skin structure. Red and near-infrared light can support the activity of fibroblasts, the cells that produce collagen and elastin, among other things.
Blue light is mainly used for blemished skin with a tendency towards acne. Yellow light can soothe irritated skin, reduce redness and support wound healing. How noticeable the effect is depends on the light source and the treatment protocol. Light therapy may be applied on its own or to accompany further treatments.

Why LED phototherapy at Aesthetics Medical?
Tailored Wavelength
We select the wavelength and intensity to match the current state of your skin and your goals. This allows the LED treatment to become part of your individual skin-care plan.
Medical LED System
We use the medical Healite II™ LED system, whose different wavelengths act on specific skin processes. This allows the treatment to be carried out in a precise and controlled way.
Part of a Treatment Plan
LED sessions can stand alone or be built into other treatment plans. After microneedling, peels or laser treatments, it can help the skin during its recovery.
Contact-Free and Easy to Schedule
Treatment takes place without touching the skin, and no significant downtime is needed. Sessions therefore fit easily into everyday life and existing treatment plans.
What does the treatment involve?
Consultation
We start by discussing your skin, your concerns and what you would like to achieve. We then determine the wavelength and intensity and decide whether LED will be used alone or as part of a broader plan.
Preparation
Your skin is thoroughly cleansed of make-up, skincare products and any residue. Depending on the area, you sit or lie comfortably, and special goggles protect your eyes where needed.
LED Treatment
The Healite II™ device is positioned at a suitable distance above the skin and used according to the selected protocol. All you feel is a gentle, pleasant light on your skin, without heat, tingling or burning. A session takes about 30 minutes.
Aftercare
Afterwards, you can care for your skin as usual and carry on with your day. Consistent sun protection with SPF 50+ is important in the first week, and we give you further skincare advice based on the condition of your skin.
Further Sessions
Depending on your concern, a series of LED treatments may be advisable. We set the schedule individually, often with around 4 weeks between appointments.
| Face | CHF 80 |
| Face, package of 6 | CHF 420 |
| Other areas | on request |

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the treatment work and how long does it take?
Once your skin has been cleansed, you sit or lie comfortably while the Healite II™ device is positioned above the area to be treated. The light is applied without contact, following the protocol agreed beforehand. A session takes around 30 minutes.
Is the treatment painful, and is anaesthesia used?
The treatment is generally not perceived as painful and is usually found to be pleasant. You only feel the gentle light, without heat, tingling or burning. Anaesthesia is not required.
What risks and side effects are possible?
LED phototherapy is non-invasive, uses no UV radiation and does not heat the skin. It is considered well tolerated, and skin irritation or rashes are generally not expected. Where needed, special goggles protect your eyes. We discuss your individual risks and suitability in detail before your first session.
What should I consider before the treatment?
Before your appointment, please let us know if you are pregnant or have a light-sensitive condition, and whether there are any wounds or skin infections in the treatment area. You will receive clear instructions on how to prepare. Make-up and skincare products are thoroughly removed at the clinic before the session.
What should I consider after the treatment?
For about a week after the treatment, avoid strong sunlight or use sun protection with SPF 50+. You can apply make-up again straight away and care for your skin as usual. At the end of the session, we discuss whether your skin needs any additional care.
How long does recovery take after the treatment?
A longer recovery period is usually not necessary. You can return to your usual activities straight after the session. As every skin reacts slightly differently, we give you guidance for the first few days where needed.

When do results become visible?
Your skin may look fresher straight after the treatment. The actual results develop over several sessions, and when changes become noticeable differs from person to person. We explain beforehand what course to expect for your particular concern.
How long do the results last?
Depending on the treatment series and your skin condition, the effect lasts around 4–6 weeks. We agree with you whether, and how often, the treatment should be repeated after that.
How many sessions are usually needed?
An initial series of 4–6 treatments at four-week intervals is often recommended. Treatment can then be continued every 4–6 weeks. The number of sessions and the intervals depend on your skin concern and goal.
Who is the treatment suitable for?
LED phototherapy is suitable for all skin types and may be considered for skin prone to acne, pigmentation changes, redness or signs of skin ageing. It should not be carried out in cases of acute skin infection, open wounds in the treatment area or certain light-sensitive conditions. Treatment is generally possible during pregnancy; we assess in your consultation whether it is suitable for you.
How much does the treatment cost?
An LED treatment for the face costs CHF 80, and a package of six treatments costs CHF 420. Prices for other areas are available on request. As an aesthetic treatment, it is usually paid for privately.
