How it works

LED phototherapy is the application of beneficial light to our skin to stimulate various cellular processes to produce a therapeutic effect. 

 

While Ultra Violet (UV) light can be damaging, controlled levels of blue, red and near infrared light can produce vitamin D, providing energy and serotonin, as well as accelerating tissue healing.  By harnessing the power of three specifically chosen light waves and applying them to the skin at clinically proven wavelengths, Dermalux stimulates cellular reactions, recharging the cells and energising them to heal quicker and rejuvenate faster, resulting in improved tissue repair and reduced inflammation.

 

The device used at The Skin Sanctuary is the Dermalux Flex MD,  which is a Class 2A medical device and FDA approved. It has a total of 360 LED bulbs (120 blue, 120 red, 120 near-infrared) which send wavelengths deep below the skin's surface.

​

The device can be used on acne to kill acne bacteria. Blue light (415nm) is absorbed into the skin’s first layer, triggering a natural reaction to destroy the acne-causing bacteria to reduce breakouts and is clinically proven to significantly improve/clear mild to moderate acne by 76% after just 4 weeks.  With continued use, LED will prevent facial acne returning.

 

One layer down, red light (633nm) is absorbed. Energising the skin to promote faster repair and renewal, it rejuvenates cells using targeted treatments for a host of concerns including fine lines and wrinkles, redness, pigmentation and psoriasis as well as muscular and joint pain. 

 

In the skin’s deepest layer, near-infrared (830nm) works to reduce inflammation, calm irritation and strengthen the skin. Near infrared light 830nm has been proven to increase cell regeneration by up to 200%.

​

Red 633nm and near infrared 830nm have been demonstrated to improve skin texture and smoothness by up to 79%. It can also be used to help treat Rosacea (reducing the appearance of red blood vessels) and Psoriasis (by preventing bacterial infection and relieving itchiness, the UV free light stimulates the body’s own natural response for healing).

 

With LED Phototherapy the visible effects are immediate.  After just one treatment skin is incredibly hydrated, plump and radiant and any redness and irritation is calmed.

 

Results can last for several months following a course of LED Phototherapy treatments. The number of treatments can vary with age, skin type and condition.  However, as with any skin treatment, maintenance sessions are advised to ensure lasting results. As phototherapy does not harm the skin, there is no limit to the amount of treatment you can have.

Benefits​

• LED Phototherapy is a heat free treatment that does not contain harmful UV wavelengths and therefore cannot damage skin tissue or create photosensitivity.  It is clinically proven to be safe for all skin types, including darker skins and the most sensitive skin conditions

• Clinically proven for the treatment of a wide range of skin conditions, including acne, rosacea, eczema, lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, sun damage, dehydration and open pores

• There is no risk of irritation, side effects or down time that may be associated with more invasive procedures and the treatment is completely pain free

• Can be used as an 'add on' to other treatments such dermaplaning or microneedling  and can help speed up the healing process 

• Loved, used and recommended by medical professionals and skincare experts  worldwide

 

After treatment

• It is safe to go in the sun and to apply makeup immediately after this treatment, as long as you are wearing an SPF of at least 50. The effects of Dermalux LED treatment are instantaneous, however, as a natural stimulation process, the full extent of the results of the treatment will reveal itself over a period of time, sometimes up to 6 weeks after the course of the treatment has finished! A course of treatments are recommended for long-lasting results with the best possible outcome for all skin types and conditions.

 

Add the Demalux LED treatment as an add on to another treatment, such as a facial, microneedling or dermaplaning,  and receive the LED treatment half price!
