Light-Based Skin Treatments: What Your Skin Actually Needs

Summer is beautiful, but for skin, it can be challenging.

Redness, pigmentation, sensitivity and breakouts are some of the most common concerns we see during and after the warmer months.

Light-based skin treatments are often recommended for these concerns, but not all light treatments are the same, and not every skin needs the same approach.

What are light-based skin treatments?

Light-based skin treatments use controlled light energy to support the skin’s natural repair processes.

Depending on the technology and settings used, they can help improve:

• uneven skin tone

• redness and broken capillaries

• pigmentation and sun damage

• acne and post-inflammatory marks

The key difference isn’t just the light itself, it’s how, when and why it’s used.

Why customisation matters

Skin is dynamic. It changes with seasons, hormones, stress and environment.

That’s why modern skin treatments focus on customisation, not one-size-fits-all solutions.

The same light technology can be gentle and calming (or overstimulating) depending on how it’s applied.

Professional guidance ensures treatments support:

• the skin barrier

• the skin’s current condition

• long-term skin health, not just quick results

Calming first, correcting second

When skin is reactive or inflamed, more intensity isn’t always better.

A skin-first approach prioritises calming the skin before correcting deeper concerns.

This leads to:

• better tolerance

• more consistent results

• healthier skin long term

It’s about working with the skin, not against it.

Is light therapy right for your skin?

Light-based treatments can be incredibly effective, when chosen correctly.

They’re best suited for clients wanting to address:

• redness and flushing

• pigmentation and sun damage

• acne-prone skin

• uneven skin tone

A professional consultation is essential to determine the right timing, settings and treatment plan for your skin.

At Inner Beauty, we’re always evolving our treatments to reflect what skin actually needs.

This February, we’re introducing a new generation of light-based skin technology designed to support sensitive, sun-affected and reactive skin with precision and care.
