Whilst you do not require a full skin analysis with a Dermal Clinician or Dermal Therapist to undergo Healite treatments for skin rejuvenation or after surgery, it is recommended to book an initial consultation for more complex skin conditions.
Healite is an effective LED light technology, with no pain and no downtime, that can provide therapeutic treatment for a number of concerns. If you are having surgery, pre and post Healite treatments can assist with faster wound healing, reducing scars and reducing bruising and swelling. If you suffer from acne, eczema, psoriasis or rosacea, Healite can be used to support your healing as part of a treatment plan. Healite is also a great way to rejuvenate skin and address concerns of ageing too, like fine lines, wrinkles and laxity.
If I could only have 1 treatment for the rest of my days, this would be it!! It keeps our collagen factories ticking over and let’s be honest we want that process happening efficiently, for as long as possible!!

Here at the My Genesis Clinic in Canberra we use the Healite II as our LED system. LED technology, which stands for ‘light emitting diode’, uses different wavelengths that are emitted by special light globes – they are powerful enough to safely and gently affect the skin and its structures.
The LED technology works by delivering parcels of energy to the cells of the skin, activating the mitochondria (energy factories) of these skin cells to heighten their internal functions and stimulate blood flow which results in further nutrient and oxygen delivery to the skin.
Healite technology can be used as a standalone treatment or can be combined with other treatments in the clinic to enhance results and recovery.
For acne, Healite can be used in conjunction with active skincare products, to control sebum production, reduce inflammation and reduce the bacteria that are known to cause acne.
For wound healing and scar reduction, Healite technology stimulates cell regeneration by increasing circulation and boosting cellular renewal processes, which induces faster healing through repairing damaged cells. By supporting the healing process we can reduce scarring. Healite treatments can be used both pre and post surgery. Lymphatic drainage is also enhanced and supported with the Healite treatment.
For ageing skin, the Healite treatments stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, making a difference in your skin’s luminosity, circulation, laxity and texture. It forms a great ‘add on’ to any laser or light therapy or exfoliation treatment as the therapy to help soothe the area post treatment. Again, this can be done as a standalone treatment as a series of 8, or teamed with other treatments to enhance wound healing.
For rosacea, which is a combination of a damaged capillary network, redness and inflammatory lesions occurring on the cheeks, nose and forehead, Healite treatments can support the skins immune function to settle inflammation and strengthen the capillary network.
After a short review and discussion with your Dermal Clinician/Therapist, a consent form will be completed. When having Healite treatment for your face, any make up or skincare will be removed before your treatment begins. If the treatment is on an area of the body, you may need to undress but a robe or blanket can be provided. Healite can be used on nearly any part of the body.
The Healite treatment will feel warm on the area it is being used on, most patients find it very relaxing. The lights are bright so we use protective eyewear to keep you as comfortable as possible. The head of lights will be brought down and around your face, about 10cm away, which may cause some clients to feel enclosed. The equipment does not touch your skin. Let your Dermal Clinician/Therapist know if you are feeling unsettled.
The Healite treatments lasts for a pre-programmed time of 14 minutes. (You will be booked in for a 30 minute appointment to allow time beforehand to cleanse your skin and to apply products after the Healite treatment). The recommended treatment course is 2 treatments a week for 4 weeks. You will have a tailored treatment plan specific to your needs for the optimal outcome.
After your treatment, your Dermal Clinician/Therapist will apply appropriate skin care. Makeup can also be applied if you desire.
There is no pain, no downtime and side-effects are very rare. LED technology does not contain UV rays and cannot burn your skin.
Healite can be used on all skin types and there are no skin or hair colour restrictions.
