Customer Testimonials

"Very informative webinar! Especially the underestimated use of the small block ... thanks Lynton."

"Brilliant thank you."

I love this machine! The EXCELIGHT® is so easy to use; It is excellent. My training with Gill (Lynton Clinical Trainer) was excellent too, she is so professional and explained everything so well and made it easy to understand - absolutely spot on in every way, I did the Level 4 course 3 years ago and it refreshed all my knowledge and I learnt even more. She is a fantastic trainer! I love working with Lynton, your customer service is fantastic. Score 10/10.  

Judite De Jlere

The launch process and support from Lynton for their new device, Focus Dual, has been brilliant throughout. The explanation of new marketing strategies has been interesting, and I have seen that they have been of great benefit to fellow participants of the launch programme. Lynton have helped me to quickly fully understand the technology I am working with, so I have been able to seamlessly introduce the uses of the device into bespoke treatment plans for my clients. I’m looking forward to seeing some fantastic results!

Lynton are absolutely brilliant. I purchased the LUMINA and have achieved fantastic results. It is very easy to use and is very reliable. In regard to support, again, fantastic. There is always someone on the end of the phone and someone happy to help me, for example, talk me through a particular client and how to best treat them or even giving me marketing materials and support.  

Laser Clinic North Wales

In 1999 DEKA pioneered minimally invasive treatment of localised fat deposits by introducing Laserlipolysis® which achieved worldwide success. Today DEKA has taken one step further. DEKA’s unceasing search for new sources and applications has led to the invention of a completely non-invasive system, which specifically destroys the lipocyte membrane, just as the laser did. In very few sessions (usually 4-5), the Coolwaves™ in the ONDA system are extremely effective in reducing the localized accumulations of fat in areas like the abdomen, back, trochanter and lower limbs. And that’s not all! Coolwaves™ make it possible to treat cellulite even in the most advanced stages and skin laxity. This is a completely painless procedure, with no side effects, which is safe and comfortable for my patients, who were enthusiastic about this innovative treatment.

Expansion of Premises to Facilitate Entry into Export Markets

To facilitate its entry into new export markets, Lynton Lasers Ltd required increased manufacturing space, as well as new demonstration and training facilities. To this end, LEADER Funding was applied for, and won, to support the refurbishment of an adjacent business unit (Unit 9d) as well as the re-arrangement and refurbishment of the existing business unit (Unit 6) on Holmes Chapel Business Park.

This Project was part funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development
