Customer Testimonials

"I just wanted to express my thanks for running the webinar today about getting back to work following lockdown. I am due to go back to work tomorrow and have struggled to find reliable information on top of the BMLA guidance. The Laser I use is not one of Lynton's, it is actually still under warranty, and we have had no support or guidance from the company during this time. So, I’d just like to say the information and time that was given today for ALL laser practitioners has been invaluable and extremely generous! I will definitely be looking to enroll on some of the training that I have seen is available, following this webinar. Thank you once again!"

Kristy

Fantastic skincare that can be used on its own or alongside the illumiFacial to give your skin the natural filter and care it deserves.

Inside Out Laser Clinic

“It takes a truly incredible company to lead, support, and inspire during these unprecedented times. But this year wouldn’t have been the same without you. Without your ongoing technical, clinical, and educational support, it’s been second to none, you’ve really kept us all going.”

Katie Thompson-Ashton, The Beauty Editor

Once the sun comes out, so do your skimpiest clothes - so if you're considering laser hair removal, then the time is now. Harley Street’s Silk Skin Laser Care Clinic is one of the first London clinics to use the new Lynton hair removal laser from Lynton Lasers and we have to say that it's the quickest we've tried - keeping appointment times to a minimum. That, and the idea of cancelling all future bikini waxes, and we're hooked.

I would like to say how marvellous the Lynton company has been. We purchased a piece of equipment from Lynton in September as part of the Level 4 Beauty therapy delivery and the initial consultation was so professional and informative. Once purchased our training with Gill Herrick (Clinical Trainer at Lynton), she was excellent, this lady’s' knowledge was excellent, and she took time to deliver a system in a true professional manner. I have since had contact with this lady for various reasons and she has always acknowledged quickly my needs regarding delivery of services etc. I am delighted with the whole support that has been provided and this has allowed a confident approach in delivering services. Thank you for your support.

"Thank You Lynton for the really useful webinars this week. Keeping us all going strong."

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.

Laser Skin Solutions

The LIGHT PROTECT is an excellent product that my clients love. In fact, all of the Lynton products are very effective. The cleanser is gentle while still giving a good cleanse.

Royal Victoria Infirmary

I just wanted to extend to Lyntons my heartfelt thanks for the Covid-19 payment holiday scheme on service cover and your webinars relating to risk assessment etc. A very kind gesture of support and I will highly recommend Lyntons to anyone in the future."

Bente Rowe, Harrogate Health & Beauty

The clinic may be closed for now, but the training continues. I was excited to be part of the first virtual Core of Knowledge course today with Lynton Lasers. This is such an important course when working with laser and IPL, underpinning the safe use of lasers in clinical practice. Thank you Lynton for making this possible today!

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
