Customer Testimonials

“I’ve really enjoyed the step-by-step process from Lynton as part of the Focus Dual launch, it has kept everything really simple and easy to keep myself accountable! I especially love the networking and sharing ideas with other clinic owners, it really feels like a family. I’m currently launching the skincare side of my clinic, and this device is a perfect addition for me to bring high-quality treatments to my clients.” 

Andrea Davies, Director, Clinic 10

"The 3JUVE system has provided our clinic with an option for every rejuvenation client, from wrinkles to eye bags to thread vessels and pigment. Our clients love the results of all three technologies. It is the 2nd most used device on the premises after our hair removal laser.  Where applicable, client uptake for upkeep sessions is also at an impressively high level, which speaks volumes. I also love the fact that the IPL on the 3JUVE has the capability to treat individual skin lesions with the interchangeable light guides, which allows us to gain more new clients and provide more comprehensive treatments during our usual rejuvenation sessions."

It achieves what CO2 was meant to do, which is tightening fine lines, fixing overall sun damage and improving skin tone—and it does it while minimizing heat trauma with CoolPeel. What’s unique to CoolPeel is the pulse duration and delivery wave of the pulses. This maximizes ablation and minimizes heat distribution—which is what ultimately prolongs downtime and risk. The entire system is customized and optimized for easy use and predictability, with low, medium and high settings.

"I can't wait!!! Excellent opportunity to learn and relearn and form new but good habits! Thank you!"

I’ve been in this market for a long time, and I have never seen a manufacturer or supplier support a product launch for their clients the way that you are doing with this.

Richard Crawford-Small, Founder, https://www.aestheticentrepreneurs.com/

I spent a long time searching for the most suitable laser company as I wanted a piece of equipment that would be very effective, safe and reliable. The nice thing about Lynton is that they don’t have, to or wont, do the hard sell approach with you: their equipment does that for them! I invested in a LUMINA and it was the best decision I ever made for my business. The results are fantastic, which means my clients show and tell their friends, which then results in more word-of-mouth clients for the business. Lynton will help and guide you through the process of introducing laser & IPL into your business.

"I recommend Lynton based on the great results we are getting from our INITIA Diode Laser and their amazing customer service! One of the best companies I have worked with.”

Melanie Philbin, Beauty Matters

"I knew I wanted to expand my aesthetic business and the multi-functional platform of the Dynamix by Lynton has enabled me to do exactly that! I started by offering facial treatments including fractional resurfacing, IPL for pigmentation, acne and rosacea as well as laser carbon peels to reduce pore size, all of which complement my aesthetic business and regular patients. As a nurse practitioner it was important to have a device provided by a reputable company. The post sales and training support has been above and beyond my expectations from when I started this journey. I am continually amazed by the compact size of the Dynamix considering how many hand pieces/treatments it offers. I would certainly recommend it as a safe and reliable option which provides outstanding results." Michelle Worthington - Founder and Practitioner, MWAH

Lynton Lasers gives me the knowledge and reassurance that I have a team of experts just a quick call away to answer any questions plus, they have a really fast service response time.

The London School of Beauty

“What I love about this technology is the versatility to treat different phototypes for hair removal, and how easy it is to program and do the treatment. In our clinic, it has helped us to tend to a very wide range of patients, and to treat them in a very fast, effective, and extremely safe way”.

Dr. Jorge Baños, Clínica Zaneo

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
