Dermalux LED Light Therapy

Dermalux LED is a light therapy treatment that uses the Dermalux Flex device to deliver selected wavelengths of light to the skin. It’s a gentle, non-invasive treatment used to support skin health and the appearance of the skin.

Different wavelengths of light are used to support the skin’s natural processes. Depending on the program selected, LED may help improve the general appearance of the skin, refresh dull-looking skin, or support the skin after other treatments. Individual results vary, and we’ll discuss what’s realistic for your skin during consultation.

No. LED light therapy is painless and doesn’t produce uncomfortable heat. Most people find it a relaxing experience, and the light is simply held close to the skin while you rest.

No downtime is required after LED light therapy. You can return to your normal activities straight away, including wearing make-up if you wish.

A standalone LED session is relatively quick — the light exposure itself typically takes around 20 minutes, with a little extra time for your skin assessment. If LED is added to another treatment, it’s included at the end of that appointment.

This varies from person to person and depends on your skin concerns and goals. Some people choose a single relaxing session, while a course of sessions is generally recommended when working towards a particular skin appearance goal. We’ll discuss an appropriate plan with you.

Yes — LED may be added to skin needling where clinically appropriate. Your clinician will assess your skin and advise whether it’s suitable as part of your treatment.

LED may be added to a suitable peel treatment, depending on the peel used and how your skin responds. This will be assessed during your appointment.

LED is gentle and well tolerated by most people, including those with sensitive skin. As with any treatment, we assess your skin first and will let you know if LED isn’t appropriate for you.

LED delivers light at specific, well-tolerated wavelengths to support the skin, while IPL uses broad-spectrum pulses of light to target selected pigment and vascular concerns. They are different treatments with different purposes and aren’t interchangeable — we can help you decide which, if either, suits your skin.
