Juliette's LED cure

Although I haven't managed to achieve the perfect skin I've always dreamed of, over the years I've managed to achieve a clearer, brighter, more even complexion. But then, in the midst of preparing for my wedding 3 years ago, I started to worry again. To have an unsightly pimple on the big day and have absolutely no control over the situation seemed unbearable. And even though I knew that the miracle recipe didn't exist, I spent nights on the internet looking for it.

That's how I ended up at a beauty salon in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, on the recommendation of Mathilde Lacombe, who was treating her rosacea. I spoke to the doctor at the practice, who explained that it was perfectly possible to control these light, temporary acne flare-ups with Miltaderm, a combination of LEDs and cold lasers. In concrete terms, LEDs are lamps that emit cold rays of light of different colors, depending on the desired effect: red light has an anti-aging effect, yellow light reduces redness and inflammation, and blue light acts at the heart of the cells to kill the bacteria responsible for acne. In this case, it's the latter that I've tested.

So I embarked on an 8-session course of treatment, and the results were truly amazing: my skin looked much better (LEDs also enhance radiance and hydration), and above all, there were no more pimples. A miracle for me, who used to wake up every other day with small, red, inflamed microcysts that were sometimes hard to hide!

Certainly, at €120 for a 25-minute session, it's a real investment. And it's not a miracle cure either, since like all treatments of this kind, it requires a minimum of maintenance. As far as I'm concerned, depending on the period, I need one or two sessions a month to maintain the result, but this varies from one skin to another. I'm really delighted to have found a solution that allows me, in just a few sessions, to have perfect skin on the day I decide (when my budget allows!). And with a few months' hindsight, having experimented with stopping the treatment (just to see if, by magic, the pimples had disappeared for good!), I'm now thinking of treating myself to one session a month: I see it as a complement to a healthy lifestyle and an effective skincare routine!
