LED Light Therapy

LED light therapy, also called LED Photobiomodulation or LLLT (Low level laser therapy) is a revolutionary treatment which was first used by NASA in the 90's to grow plants in space. The LED lamps were ten times brighter than the sun and were used to accelerate the cellular production of the plants and the photosynthesis process.


As time went on, Photobiomodulation was tested on human skin and it was proven that light can stimulate the production of skin cells as well. This discovery led to the beginning of therapeutic LEDs treatments intended to combat skin damage, acne, rosacea, psoriasis, age spots, wrinkles, skin cancer and other skin problems.


This technology became more prominent in the early 2000s and today, spas all over the world begin using LED light therapy due to its extreme effectiveness and unprecedented results!

When beauty and science come together.

How it works?

The light emitting diode therapy (LED) comes in various wavelengths which are meant to treat different types of dermatology problems.


LED Photobiomodulation uses energetic light in the form of photons. When the skin is exposed to light, these photons penetrate the skin and transfer their energy into a form the body can use called ATP. 


Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is our body’s fuel for energy; the more energy we have, the more our body can use that energy to perform its functions effectively – such as rejuvenation and repair processes. 


By stimulating the internal functions of the skin from the outside, visible long-term results can be achieved. Since light therapy stimulates the regenerative abilities of the body it is thus a completely natural & harmless treatment.

How to use Genève Mask


STEP 1)

Clean and dry your face

STEP 2)

Put on your Genève LED Mask

STEP 3)

Turn it on and relax for 15-30 minutes

STEP 4)

Follow your usual skincare routine

The results.

Since light therapy is a treatment soft on the skin, it requires patience. We recommend a 20 minutes session every other day for about 1 month to see all the effects.


That being said, first changes are often visible within days – sometimes, you can even see a difference immediately after your very first treatment. Visible results begin to show in as little as 1 week (3-4 sessions). Depending on your individual skin condition, age and number of sessions, you may need 3 to 8 weeks in order to see optimal effects. 


Day after day, you can see the results of the treatment, your wrinkles diminish, your acne decreases, your face regains its glow and softness.
