If you live with eczema, you will fully understand the cycle of itchy, inflamed, and uncomfortable skin. Finding consistent relief can potentially be difficult for patients. We offer Dermalux LED Phototherapy at Rejuvenating Solutions. LED light therapy is a non-invasive treatment option that uses light energy to help manage eczema symptoms and support your skin’s health. Our nurse-led clinic provides this treatment within a CQC-regulated environment.
Understanding Eczema
Eczema is a term for a group of conditions that cause the skin to become red, itchy, and inflamed. It often involves a weakened skin barrier making your skin more susceptible to dryness and irritants. Atopic dermatitis is one common, often chronic, type of eczema. Triggers can vary between individuals and may include environmental factors, allergens, or stress. Managing your eczema typically involves avoiding triggers, consistent moisturising, and sometimes the use of prescribed treatments.
How Dermalux LED Phototherapy Can Help Your Skin
Dermalux LED Phototherapy uses specific, clinically proven wavelengths of light to target different layers of the skin. These wavelengths trigger natural cellular processes that can be beneficial for eczema-prone skin:
- Red Light – Penetrates the skin to help reduce inflammation and promote skin repair. This can assist in calming redness and supporting the skin’s natural healing functions.
- Blue Light – Works closer to the skin’s surface and has anti-bacterial properties. This can help reduce the presence of bacteria that may aggravate eczema or lead to infection in broken skin.
- Near-Infrared Light – Reaches deeper tissue layers. It helps reduce inflammation, accelerates skin repair processes, and can aid with soothing irritation.
With the use of these controlled light wavelengths, Dermalux therapy supports cellular function, aiming to reduce inflammation and aid skin recovery without using heat or chemicals.

Suitability and Safety Considerations
Dermalux LED Phototherapy is suitable for many skin types and tones. However, a thorough consultation is necessary to ensure it is appropriate for you. You should inform your nurse about any medical conditions, medications (especially those causing photosensitivity), or skin treatments you are currently using. Certain conditions may mean LED therapy is not suitable.
Integrating Dermalux into Your Eczema Management

This includes using appropriate moisturisers, identifying and avoiding personal triggers, and following any advice provided by your healthcare professionals.
