Dermalux LED Light Therapy
Clinically proven wavelengths of light and proprietary LED technology used to deliver safe and effective treatments.
LED phototherapy has many regenerative benefits. It works on the principle that all living cells absorb light and are influenced by it in powerful ways. Treatments effectively energise the skin’s cells, stimulating its natural repair process and gives the complexion a revitalising boost. It is also a highly effective non-invasive treatment for many different skin concerns including: ageing, acne, rosacea, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis and for aiding healing.
We use the Dermalux device, a multi-award winning British-made brand for professional LED Phototherapy treatment. The Dermalux device utilises clinically proven wavelengths of light and proprietary LED technology to deliver safe and effective treatments. There is no pain or discomfort or recovery time with LED which makes it a wonderful treatment on its own or in combination with other rejuvenating procedures.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Dermalux LED Light Therapy and how does it work?
Dermalux combines three lights: blue 415nm, Red 633nm and Near Infrared 830nm wavelengths to combat various skin conditions.
Blue Light
The Dermalux blue light helps to destroy acne bacteria by converting porphyrins (naturally found in acne bacteria) into a state that is harmful to them and kills them. This also normalises oil production, which reduces active acne, prevents future breakouts and improves skin clarity.
Red Light
The red light accelerates cell renewal and repair. By increasing cell turnover and circulation, the red light triggers the production of collagen and elastin, increases skins hydration and plumps the skin. This kick start light, works by increasing circulation also helps the lymphatic system to eliminate toxins, offering immediate visible effects in the skins tone and appearance.
Near Infrared 830nm
This light is all about repair and is the most deeply absorbed light by the skin and has similar effects on the skin as the red light. However, this light has additional healing benefits for soothing redness and irritation. Exposure to this light triggers the skins anti-inflammatory processes to expedite the skins repair and building strength of environmentally damaged and sensitive skin conditions as well as being effective in the treatment of age spots and hyperpigmentation.
How many treatments will I need?
Many people see immediate results after just one treatment. However, we generally recommend that you have a course of six Dermalux treatments to see maximum benefits.
Is Dermalux LED light therapy safe?
People often say that their skin feels better immediately after being exposed to sunlight. This is because natural sunlight contains a spectrum of visible and invisible wavelengths, only some of which are harmful (ultraviolet).
Based on this, Dermalux LED Light Therapy uses carefully selected near infrared, red and blue light to deliver the beneficial healing effects, moreover, it stimulates a cellular response, yet avoids the damaging effects of UV rays.
What does red light treat?
Red light has been proven to reduce lines, improve skin tone and texture. It stimulates the fibroblast cells which increase hydration, trigger the production of collagen and elastin, and plump up the skin.
What does infra-red light treat?
Infra-red light has similar effects and also soothes redness and irritation. Moreover, it has been clinically proven to accelerate skin healing, therefore it is an excellent therapy to follow other treatments, especially skin peels, laser and injectable treatments.
What does blue light treat?
Blue light helps to destroy acne bacteria. It does this by converting porphyrins, which occur naturally in the acne bacteria, into a state that is harmful to them, and kills them.
Blue light also helps to normalise oil production, which reduces active acne and helps to prevent future break-outs.
What else can I do with this treatment?
Dermalux LED Light Therapy is perfect as a stand alone treatment or as an add onto a host of other treatments. Those on our cosmeceutical ranges we advocate to use our Dermalux especially if they are suffering from increased sensitivity on their skin. It is also a great treatment for those who have suffered any bruising or tenderness from injectables or other treatments.
