Our original, multi-award-winning Boost LED Face Mask. Clinically proven to trigger cellular renewal, transforming the complexion. 96% agree their fine lines appeared less visible in just four weeks.
Do you have to wear eye protection whilst using the Boost Mask?
The Boost Mask has been tested to the highest internationally recognised eye safety standards and has been deemed safe to use on uncovered eyes. However, we do provide a pair of optional eyeshields to use, if you have eye sensitivity to light glare.
Does the Boost LED Mask deliver light that is 100% UV free?
Red and Near-Infrared are on the opposite spectrum of light to UV and neither the in-salon treatment or the Boost LED mask contain any UV light.
Can my Boost device be used after Botox / filler/ face procedures?
Yes, the Boost can be applied post injectables. Swelling from injectables normally occurs about 8 hours afterwards, so best time to apply is 6-8 hours afterwards. LED will take down the swelling in a day but bruising tends to take longer to treat.
Can my Boost device be used straight after surgery?
LED is most effective in post-surgical treatment, if it begins 24 hours after the surgery, and continues for three days. However, you can continue treatment for as long and as often as you wish, as the treatment will continue to benefit your healing tissues.
What skincare can I use with the Boost Mask?
Boost skincare has been scientifically formulated to enhance the effects of LED, and is the only product range to serve this specific purpose.

A salon is a gathering of people held by a host. These gatherings often consciously followed Horace's definition of the aims of poetry, "either to please or to educate" (Latin: aut delectare aut prodesse). Salons in the tradition of the French literary and philosophical movements of the 17th and 18th centuries are still being carried on today.[1]
The salon first appeared in Italy in the 16th century, then flourished in France throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. It continued to flourish in Italy throughout the 19th century. In 16th-century Italy, some brilliant circles formed in the smaller courts which resembled salons, often galvanized by the presence of a beautiful and educated patroness such as Isabella d'Este or Elisabetta Gonzaga.
Salons were an important place for the exchange of ideas. The word salon first appeared in France in 1664 (from the Italian salone, the large reception hall of Italian mansions; salone is actually the augmentative form of sala, room). Literary gatherings before this were often referred to by using the name of the room in which they occurred, like cabinet, rduit, ruelle, and alcve.[2] Before the end of the 17th century, these gatherings were frequently held in the bedroom (treated as a more private form of drawing room):[3] a lady, reclining on her bed, would receive close friends who would sit on chairs or stools drawn around.
The history of the salon is far from straightforward. The salon has been studied in depth by a mixture of feminist, Marxist, cultural, social, and intellectual historians. Each of these methodologies focuses on different aspects of the salon, and thus have varying analyses of its importance in terms of French history and the Enlightenment as a whole.
Breaking down the salons into historical periods is complicated due to the various historiographical debates that surround them. Most studies stretch from the early 16th century up until around the end of the 18th century. Goodman is typical in ending her study at the French Revolution where, she writes: 'the literary public sphere was transformed into the political public'.[8] Steven Kale is relatively alone in his recent attempts to extend the period of the salon up until Revolution of 1848:[9]
A whole world of social arrangements and attitude supported the existence of French salons: an idle aristocracy, an ambitious middle class, an active intellectual life, the social density of a major urban center, sociable traditions, and a certain aristocratic feminism. This world did not disappear in 1789.[10]
In the 1920s, Gertrude Stein's Saturday evening salons (described in Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast and depicted fictionally in Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris) gained notoriety for including Pablo Picasso and other twentieth-century luminaries like Alice B. Toklas.
Contemporary literature about the salons is dominated by idealistic notions of politeness, civility and honesty, though whether they lived up to these standards is a matter of debate. These older texts tend to portray reasoned debates and egalitarian polite conversation.[12] Dena Goodman claims that, rather than being leisure based or 'schools of civilit', salons were at 'the very heart of the philosophic community' and thus integral to the process of Enlightenment.[13] In short, Goodman argues, the 17th and 18th century saw the emergence of the academic, Enlightenment salons, which came out of the aristocratic 'schools of civilit'. Politeness, argues Goodman, took second-place to academic discussion.[14]
The period in which salons were dominant has been labeled the 'age of conversation'.[15] The topics of conversation within the salons - that is, what was and was not 'polite' to talk about - are thus vital when trying to determine the form of the salons. The salonnires were expected, ideally, to run and moderate the conversation (See Women in the salon). There is, however, no universal agreement among historians as to what was and was not appropriate conversation. Marcel Proust 'insisted that politics was scrupulously avoided'.[16] Others suggested that little other than government was ever discussed.[17] The disagreements that surround the content of discussion partly explain why the salon's relationship with the public sphere is so heavily contested. Individuals and collections of individuals that have been of cultural significance overwhelmingly cite some form of engaged, explorative conversation regularly held with an esteemed group of acquaintances as the source of inspiration for their contributions to culture, art, literature and politics, leading some scholars to posit the salon's influence on the public sphere as being more widespread than previously appreciated.[18][19]
