Dermalux

Why might you be interested in Dermalux?

Dermalux is a completely non-invasive, pain-free LED therapy treatment, which uses three clinically proven wavelengths of light that can be customised to treat a really wide range of skin concerns. That includes acne, fine lines, redness, hyperpigmentation and inflammatory conditions like psoriasis.

By stimulating the skin’s own healing and collagen production mechanisms, it helps restore the skin from within without restoring to aggressive measures. That makes it suitable for all skin types and skin tones, and there’s no downtime so you can return to your daily routine immediately.

How exactly does it work?

Dermalux is the only LED technology with the ability to deliver three concurrent wavelengths, each at the optimum intensity whilst maintaining a stable energy output.

Blue light (415nm) targets acne-causing bacteria and reduces breakouts. Red light (633nm) stimulates collagen production and helps with healing. Near-infared light (830nm) also promotes healing and reduces inflammation.

The wavelengths can be delivered as single or simultaneous protocols to target multiple chromophores for increased efficacy and reduced treatment time. In fact, Dermalux has been configured to deliver more photons to the treatment area than any other LED device available.

What technologies are available from Dermalux?

Dermalux offers three LED technologies – two for in-clinic use and the most popular at-home device on the market.

Tri-Wave MD: The most powerful offering in the range, Tri-Wave MD uses a 4-pod head to deliver the highest amount of energy per unit area. It can deliver the three wavelengths in a single treatment, enabling the treatment of multiple concerns in one session, including across the face and body.

Compact Lite: A very versatile in-clinic device, Dermalux’s Compact Lite uses medical-grade LED light therapy to offer fast treatments that can be personalised by your practitioner to target your specific skin concerns.

The Dermalux Flex MD provides a convenient and consistent LED-based treatment for at-home use – no wonder it is the industry-leader. It delivers lower-intensity LED light compared to the in-clinic treatments, but it’s still the most powerful portable LED system on the market, giving you gradual but maintainable skin improvements.

Why do practitioners also love Dermalux?

Dermalux can be (and increasingly is) used after other procedures to help bring down redness and inflammation, while supercharging results. For example, it can bring down any irritation caused by microneedling or injectables, while supporting further collagen production. That makes it a special addition to a practitioner’s toolkit too.

How long does a Dermalux treatment appointment take?

One of the USPs of Dermalux is that it is super fast. An appointment typically lasts only 20-30 minutes, although this may be lengthened if you want to treat especially large or multiple areas.

Is Dermalux treatment painful?

Not even a pinch. LED light therapy is non-invasive so you shouldn’t feel any discomfort – just an occasional warm feeling due to increased blood flow (the devices themselves don’t generate heat). In fact, the experience can be very relaxing and even sleep-inducing!

How quickly can you see results from Dermalux devices?

You can see an instant boost in skin radiance and hydration after just a single session of in-clinic Dermalux, with the recommended 8-12 sessions then providing improvements in concerns such as acne and fine lines.

You need to be a little more patient with the at-home Dermalux. You will probably start to see initial results from around a month, with the best results taking several months to be visible.

How long do the results last?

Results from a single in-clinic session of Dermalux can last up to a week, while a full course of 8-12 treatments will prolong the benefits for several months afterwards.

The at-home treatment has more gradual results, which can last a few weeks, but with consistent use you can still maintain them.

At what age can you get Dermalux?

It’s recommended for use by anyone over the age of 16 (because it hasn’t been tested on younger individuals). That means it can be used for teens as an acne treatment and by adults for want to improve the appearance of fine lines and dark spots.

How much does a Dermalux treatment cost?

In-clinic Dermalux treatments are relatively affordable, ranging from just £40-80 per session, and deals are often available when booking a full course of sessions.

The at-home device is a one-off investment. It costs £1999 – although on the TTG shop we offer it at a slight discount.

Are there side effects from the Dermalux devices?

Few, if any. Some people experience so slight dryness or redness straight after a treatment, but this is rare and not long-lasting.

The device should also not be placed directly on the skin. Otherwise this can increase the risk of non-permanent (but unsightly) post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that can appear as blue/purple marks.

What is the aftercare advice following a Dermalux treatment?

As Dermalux is a completely non-invasive treatment, the aftercare advice is very straightforward. You should protect your skin from the sun using sunscreen, especially on the treated areas, and keep yourself hydrated. Avoiding using harsh exfoliants and active ingredients such as retinoids immediately after the treatment will reduce your risk of redness and irritation too.

Is there scientific evidence that Dermalux LED works?

Yes! And lots of it. Thousands of clinical studies demonstrate the effectiveness of LED phototherapy in treating various skin conditions.

Who is Dermalux not suitable for?

As Dermalux is a LED light therapy technology, it should be avoided if you have a photosensitivity disorder, or certain medical conditions such as lupus. Similarly, it is not suitable if you are currently on medication that can increase light sensitivity, such as certain antibiotics or chemotherapy drugs. Speak to your doctor if you are unsure.

Who makes Dermalux?

Dermalux LED devices are manufactured by Aesthetic Technology Ltd – a company knownfor producing high-quality, clinically-proven light therapy treatments for a wide range of skin concerns.
