LED Light Therapy Cost: What Is Included in a $250 Session

What the $250 session includes

The 60 minutes are built in four stages. First is a cleanse to remove makeup, sunscreen and surface oil so the light reaches skin rather than product. Second is an exfoliation, which lifts dull surface cells and prepares the skin for the light phase. Third is the light phase itself, which is the longest part of the appointment. Fourth is a serum applied at the end, chosen to suit how your skin looks that day.

The light phase uses one of two devices. The Perfectio X delivers red and infrared light. The Sapphire X delivers blue light at 415 nm. Both are FDA-cleared Class II devices. That clearance covers the device itself and not any particular outcome, so we do not describe results as cleared or approved. What we can say is that many clients notice a temporary change in how their skin looks, often described as brighter or a little firmer, and that results vary from person to person.

Nothing in the session is shortened to make room for another service. If you have booked an LED facial, the light is the appointment. We think that distinction matters, and we come back to it below.

Red and infrared, or blue: how the device is chosen

The choice between the two devices is made in the room, after we have looked at your skin. Red and infrared light is the usual choice when the goal is a firmer, smoother look across the face and neck. Blue light at 415 nm is the usual choice when skin looks congested or has visible breakouts. Some sessions use both, with more time on one than the other.

If you have a diagnosed skin condition such as rosacea, melasma, eczema or cystic acne, a dermatologist or physician is the right first step before booking. We offer cosmetic services, not medical care, and we would rather say so plainly than let a facial stand in for an appointment you actually need. For a fuller description of each device, see our LED facial page.

Bronze, Silver and Gold: the per-facial math

We offer three facial packages, and each one bundles the same LED facial with daily products to use at home. Bronze is two LED facials and one daily product for $550. Silver is three facials and two products for $800. Gold is four facials and three products for $1,100.

Divide the price by the number of facials and you get $275 per facial for Bronze, about $267 for Silver and $275 for Gold. Those figures sit slightly above the $250 single-visit price, because the products are part of what you are paying for. The packages do not discount the facial. They set a fixed price for a short series plus take-home care, and they let you plan the series up front instead of deciding visit by visit.

If you only want the light and have no interest in the products, single visits at $250 are the lower-cost route. If you want something to use between appointments and prefer one decision rather than four, a package is tidier. Both are reasonable choices. The full tiers are listed on our packages page.

What makes a $25 to $85 LED add-on different

Many spas and salons list LED light as an add-on for somewhere between $25 and $85. It is worth understanding what that usually buys. In most cases it is a short finishing step, often ten to fifteen minutes under a panel or mask, placed at the end of a standard facial. The facial is the appointment. The light is an extra.

Our session works the other way around. The cleanse and exfoliation exist to prepare the skin for the light, and the light phase takes up the largest share of the hour. The devices are handheld units worked across the face in sections rather than a fixed panel, which lets us spend more time on the areas that need it. That is a difference in time, in equipment and in intent, and it is where most of the price gap comes from.

We are not saying an add-on is a poor choice. For someone who mainly wants a classic facial and is curious about light, it is a sensible way to try it. The comparison only goes wrong when a short add-on and a full light session are judged as if they were the same service at different prices. They are different services.

How many sessions, and what a series costs

A single session is a good way to see how your skin responds. A typical starting point for a visible change is a short series of three to four sessions spread over several weeks, followed by occasional visits to keep the look going. Results vary, and we would rather you see a first session before committing to a series.

Here is what the math looks like. Three single visits are $750. The Silver package is $800 and adds two daily products. Four single visits are $1,000. Gold is $1,100 with three products. Whichever route you take, the facial itself is the same 60-minute session described above, with the same devices and the same four stages.

Plan on sunscreen the day after and most days after that. It is not a spa rule, but it helps protect whatever brightness you see, and it is the least expensive part of the whole plan.

Before you book: who should check with a physician, and our policies

LED light is generally well tolerated, but it is not for everyone. Talk to your physician first if you are pregnant, have a pacemaker, have cold urticaria, have an active skin infection, or have had recent surgery. If you take a medication that increases sensitivity to light, ask the physician who prescribed it before booking.

A few policies apply to every service. We ask for 24 hours notice to cancel or move an appointment. Arriving more than 10 minutes late may mean we need to reschedule, since the light phase needs its full time. There are no refunds on services. Purchases made through Affirm have a 30-day refund window. Defective products can be exchanged within 7 days. Children are not permitted in the spa, and pets are not permitted except service animals.

We are open Monday to Thursday 11am to 8pm, Friday and Saturday 11am to 9pm, and Sunday 12pm to 6pm. Mall parking is free. If you have a question about the session that is not answered here, call (214) 447-7748 or email [email protected] and we will give you a straight answer.
