Dermalux LED Phototherapy
LED Phototherapy works on the principle that living cells can absorb and respond to light.
This treatment is widely recognised for its regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a powerful tool for skin health and rejuvenation.
What is LED Phototherapy?
The Dermalux Flex MD delivers safe and effective LED wavelengths deep into the skin’s layers to rejuvenate cells, reduce signs of aging, and treat conditions like acne, rosacea, and psoriasis. It also promotes overall skin health and can help alleviate muscular and joint pain.
Blue light (415nm) penetrates the skin’s surface layer, triggering a natural response to eliminate acne-causing bacteria and reduce breakouts. Clinically proven studies show that Blue 415nm light can improve or clear mild to moderate acne by up to 76% in just four weeks (Morton, 2005).
At the next layer down, Red light (633nm) is absorbed, stimulating the skin to accelerate repair and renewal. This rejuvenating wavelength effectively targets concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, redness, pigmentation, and psoriasis, while also helping to alleviate muscular and joint pain.
​
Red (633nm) and Near-Infrared (830nm) light have been clinically shown to improve skin texture and smoothness by up to 79% (Neil S Sadick).
At the skin’s deepest layer, Near-Infrared (830nm) light works to reduce inflammation, calm irritation, and strengthen the skin barrier. Research by Dr. H Whelan et al. has demonstrated that this wavelength can boost cell regeneration by up to 200%.
​
The Dermalux Flex MD uniquely combines all three wavelengths—Blue (415nm), Red (633nm), and Near-Infrared (830nm)—simultaneously to deliver maximum cell activation for superior and long-lasting results. This advanced LED technology provides focused and concentrated light energy, ensuring optimal absorption for enhanced skin health and rejuvenation.
