Dermalux LED Phototherapy is a treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to modulate cellular activity. When this non-thermal light energy is absorbed by skin cells, it stimulates intracellular processes. This can help manage conditions such as acne, pigmentation, and inflammatory disorders like eczema and psoriasis. Suitability is determined during a medical consultation.
The therapeutic actions of Dermalux® include:
Dermalux LED Phototherapy uses specific, clinically-evidenced light wavelengths that penetrate the skin to different depths to induce a therapeutic response.
– Red light stimulates fibroblast activity, which aids collagen and elastin synthesis.
– Blue light has an antimicrobial effect, which helps to manage the bacteria associated with acne vulgaris (*P. acnes*).
– Near-infrared light modulates inflammation and supports cellular repair processes.
These wavelengths can be used in combination to manage complex skin conditions.
Blue light has antibacterial properties, making it effective against acne-causing bacteria. Near-infrared light works deeper, promoting circulation, reducing inflammation, and enhancing skin repair. This combination of lights works synergistically to rejuvenate and heal the skin from within.
Following a medical consultation and diagnosis, your practitioner will create a personalised treatment plan. This protocol will be designed to address your specific skin condition.
During the session, the LED light panel is positioned over the treatment area. Patients typically report a mild sensation of warmth. The procedure does not involve pain or significant discomfort and lasts approximately 20 minutes.
There is no downtime associated with this procedure, and you can resume your usual activities immediately. A course of treatments is often recommended to achieve the desired clinical outcome. Your practitioner will provide specific aftercare advice to support the therapeutic effects.
Dermalux LED Phototherapy sits apart from traditional skin treatments due to its non-invasive nature and ability to treat a wide range of skin conditions without discomfort or downtime, all with out physical contact with the skin. Unlike some aggressive chemical treatments or invasive procedures, Dermalux offers a gentle yet effective alternative that promotes skin health naturally.

Suitability for any medical treatment, including LED Phototherapy, is determined during a thorough medical consultation. While it has a wide range of clinical applications for managing conditions like acne, rosacea, and signs of photodamage, it is not appropriate for every person or condition. Your practitioner will advise if this is a suitable treatment for you based on your diagnosis and medical history.
LED Phototherapy is clinically indicated for the management of a range of dermatological conditions. These include acne vulgaris, rosacea, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis (eczema), and the clinical signs of photodamage (including certain forms of pigmentation and rhytids)
LED Phototherapy has a high safety profile and is very well-tolerated by patients, with no associated downtime. The risk of adverse effects is minimal. Some patients may experience very mild, transient redness post-treatment. All potential side effects, although rare, will be discussed during your medical consultation.
Yes, LED Phototherapy has an excellent safety profile. It uses non-thermal light energy and does not contain UV wavelengths, so it does not cause thermal damage to skin tissue. It is clinically evidenced to be suitable for all Fitzpatrick skin types, including darker and more sensitive skin. A full medical history is taken to confirm suitability.
The treatment is non-invasive and painless. Most patients report a sensation of gentle warmth on the skin during the session. This is typically due to a temporary increase in local blood circulation.
There are certain circumstances in which phototherapy may prove to be unsuitable. Certain medications may cause photosensitivity and specific conditions may be triggered by light. For your safety and comfort, it is imperative that any medication, illness, condition or other treatment you may be undergoing are fully disclosed during your consultation.
No. The Dermalux™ device does not emit UV radiation, which is the wavelength responsible for stimulating melanin production (tanning).
No. The Dermalux™ device does not emit UV radiation, which is the wavelength responsible for stimulating melanin production (tanning).
No. Vitamin D production is triggered by exposure to UV light, which converts cholesterol found naturally in the body to vitamin D.
The treatment times have been calculated to ensure optimum results. Darker skins may require longer exposure times to have the same level of effectiveness.
Yes. The treatment should be followed by the application of suitable skin care products including a sunscreen. Makeup can then be applied.
The number of treatments can vary with age, skin type and condition. With LED Phototherapy the results are cumulative and improveThe number of treatments required depends on the patient’s age, skin type, and the condition being treated. A course of treatments taken in succession is typically recommended to achieve the desired clinical outcome. Your practitioner will create a personalised treatment plan during your consultation, which will include the recommended number and frequency of sessions.ment will continue even after the treatment has stopped. Treatments taken in quick succession will achieve optimum results, and maintenance treatments may also be recommended. Furthermore, as phototherapy does not harm the skin, there is no limit to the treatment you can get. An individual treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation.
The therapeutic effects from a course of treatments can last for several months. To maintain the clinical outcome, particularly for chronic conditions, follow-up maintenance sessions are typically recommended.
Some patients report a temporary reduction in redness and an improvement in skin hydration after a single session. However, the primary clinical effects related to cellular processes, such as collagen synthesis or the reduction of inflammation, are gradual and become more apparent as the treatment course progresses.
