Dermalux LED light therapy is suitable for all skin types. It is medically CE certified to be used to treat acne, aid wound healing, and improve psoriasis and pain. Light therapy can address some cosmetic concerns by improving the appearance of pigmentation and redness, naturally rejuvenating the skin. The Dermalux Flex MD can also be integrated with other treatments to enhance and accelerate results.

However, there are some people who are not suitable for light therapy. Unfortunately, those who suffer the following conditions, cannot be considered for treatment for your own safety:

• EPILEPSY
• SEIZURES TRIGGERED BY LIGHT
• LUPUS ERYTHEMATOUS
• POLYMORPHIC LIGHT ERUPTION
• PHOTOSENSITIVE ECZEMA
• HYPOMELANISM (ALBANISM)
• ACTIVE CANCERS (UNLESS FOR PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY)

We also are precautionary in treating the following clients who have any of the following issues:

• PREGNANCY
• EYE DISEASE AND CONDITIONS
• LIGHT INDUCED MIGRAINES
• ST. JOHNS WORT
• RECENT INTRODUCTION OF NEW SKINCARE (PRESCRIPTION OR RETINOL – WE WILL COVER THIS IN YOUR FREE CONSULTATION

When you arrive for your first treatment you will receive a free consultation, our in house medical doctor or pharmacist will oversee all treatment plans ensuring that you are suitable for the treatment. Certain medicines and creams that you are given by your doctor are not suitable to be used in conjunction with LED light therapy so a full medical history will be taken  at your consultation. 

They will also discuss your aims, objectives and personal characteristics to assist you on your health and wellness journey. We offer three wavelengths which can be delivered in single or multi-wavelength modes. During your consultation we can discuss which wavelength is best suited to you. 

Blue Light: Anti-bacterial action without irritation, helps acne and blemish prone skin, improves skin clarity, anti-inflammatory effects and improves psoriasis. 

Red Light: Boosts collagen and elastin production, reduces fine lines, improves skin texture and tone, increases natural hydration, stimulates circulation and restores optimum cell function.

Near-Infrared light: Calms redness and irritation, reduces pigmentation, stimulates vascular repair, accelerates wound healing and is ideal for most sensitive skin types. 

This LED therapy device can be applied across both face and body, essentially wherever your main concern lies. 

The number of sessions you will require on the Dermalux Tri-Wave MD depends on the skin condition you are wanting to treat. If you have moderate to severe acne, for example, you will need a full course of 12 sessions. If you have mild eczema on your hand, for example, you may only need a course of six and so on. You can also experience Dermalux as a standalone treatment although optimum results are achieved from a course of sessions in quick succession. This will be assessed during the consultation.

Results with LED Phototherapy are accumulative which means, even though you will see results straight away and your skin will glow from the very first session, full rejuvenation can be seen up to 6 months after as the light increases collagen synthesis  in and between each session and after the course has finished. Results can last for several months and regular maintenance treatments offer lasting improvement in the appearance and health of the skin

Dermalux is an excellant, safe, natural and holistic anti-ageing therapy.

We will tailor a treatment plan for your needs. A typical treatment takes about 20 minutes.

In extreme cases, further sessions are required, but otherwise, a maintenance session every three to twelve months is enough.

Dermalux treatment is completely pain free, safe and non-invasive. You will find that the wavelengths of light actually give you a feeling of relaxation and well-being as the light gently warms the skin, increasing blood flow and serotonin levels which reduce stress and ease the mind. By the end of your treatment you will feel warm, calm, refreshed and relaxed. You may resume daily activities immediately after the treatment.

Beautiful skin is achievable for everyone with Dermalux. One treatment instantly energises skin cells too revitalise a dull and tired complexion. Following a single Dermalux® treatment, clients can expect immediate improvement in skin tone, hydration and overall radiance which will continue in the following days. Redness and irritation is calmed. 

However, most changes occur naturally over a course of treatment. A course of treatment offers long lasting visible results, stimulating the skin’s natural rejuvenation and repair processes to speed up cell renewal, resolve problem skin conditions and promote vibrant healthy-looking skin.

Results may continue to improve up to 4-6 weeks after a course of treatment sessions.

The red, blue and infrared light we use are very beneficial to the skin and can increase hydration, collagen and circulation within the skin as well as helping to decrease wrinkles, dullness, acne bacteria and other skin disorders such as Psoriasis, eczema, redness and inflammation.  Dermalux is a very safe and non-damaging treatment for all skin types and colours.

We have an online booking system which will allow you to select your treatment, date and time. If you have any issues using this system please request a callback and a member of our team will get back to you as soon as possible. Book Treatment.

LED Phototherapy is based on the principle that living cells are able to absorb and are influenced by light and the treatment has long been recognised for its regenerating and anti-inflammatory properties.

While we often associate light exposure with skin ageing and damage, light also has many positive influences on the body. It helps us produce vitamin D and provides energy and serotonin and can also accelerate our skin’s natural repair processes.

The differences between the positive and negative effects of light are the amount and the parts of the light spectrum we are exposed to. On-going exposure to UV is very damaging but controlled levels of Red, Blue and Near Infrared light are clinically proven to be beneficial.

The treatment involves exposing the skin to low levels of this beneficial light energy from the visible and infrared part of the light spectrum which energise cellular functions to stimulate various cellular processes with therapeutic effects. Skin cells that are energised function better and regenerate faster which in turn leads to younger, healthy and radiant skin.

The effects of LED Phototherapy are a natural response similar to that of plant photo-synthesis through a process known as photobiomodulation.

Achieving results with LED Phototherapy is dependent of a number of key parameters to maximise the light / chromophore interaction that allow photobiomodulation to take place.

The key parameter is the precise wavelength or nanometre (nm) which determines the target for the light and also the depth of penetration into the skin. The second important parameter is the output power or photon intensity.

The first law of Photobiology states ‘photons must be absorbed by the target chromophore to activate a cellular response’

Each individual wavelength has a specific target chromophore within the skin (such as melanin, haemoglobin, water, cytochrome c oxidase, porphyrins etc.). Shorter wavelengths have more superficial targets and longer wavelengths penetrate to targets at deeper levels in the skin. If the wavelength does not match the target chromophore then there will be no absorption and no reaction and therefore no result. Furthermore if the photon intensity is too low and insufficient energy is applied to reach the target cells, again there will be no result as the minimum threshold has not been met. Not all LED Phototherapy systems are the same
