INFLAMMATION & REDNESS
WHAT IT IS Lumixa Skin Normaliser.
WHAT IT DOES From Italian scientists, Lumixa is an innovative fluorescent light-therapy treatment designed to help stimulate the skin’s healing process and address signs of inflamm-ageing. The Skin Normaliser uses a patented fluorophore with a specific energy profile that helps to regulate skin reactivity and minimise the appearance of redness and inflammation. The patented gel (which shares a similar consistency to aloe vera) is gently applied across the face and activated by a blue LED light machine. Pain-free, the gel harnesses Fluorescent Light Energy, motioning through the entire light spectrum to help strengthen the skin barrier and rejuvenate the complexion. Improving the overall tone, it’s also had significant results in treating stubborn issues such as rosacea and acne.
