LED Light Therapy
LED Light Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment designed to support healthier, calmer and more radiant-looking skin. Using selected wavelengths of light, including blue light, red light and near-infrared light, treatment can be tailored for concerns such as acne-prone skin, redness, pigmentation, inflammation, healing support and post-treatment recovery.
About LED Light Therapy
LED Light Therapy is widely used in professional skin treatments to support skin wellness, reduce visible inflammation and enhance overall skin recovery. Different wavelengths of light are selected depending on the skin concern and treatment goal, allowing treatment to be tailored to blemish-prone skin, dullness, pigmentation, redness, sensitivity or post-treatment recovery.
Dermalux programmes are typically around 20 minutes and may use red light, blue light and near-infrared light either individually or in combination. Because the treatment is gentle, comfortable and non-invasive, it can be used as a stand-alone appointment or incorporated into a wider facial, acne-focused, post-treatment or skin maintenance plan.
How each light wavelength supports the skin
Each wavelength has a different role, allowing LED Light Therapy to be tailored according to your skin needs and the programme selected during consultation.
Blue Light
Blue light targets acne-causing bacteria, including Propionibacterium acnes, helping to reduce visible inflammation, improve skin clarity and support oil regulation. It is ideal for acne-prone, congested or breakout-prone skin.
Red Light
Red light supports collagen and elastin production, helping to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also supports blood circulation, hydration and a healthier-looking glow.
Near-Infrared Light
Near-infrared light penetrates more deeply into the skin to support tissue repair, calm severe inflammation or sensitivity and assist with concerns such as pigmentation and age spots.
What to expect
Consultation
Your consultation includes an assessment of your skin concerns, sensitivities, current skincare and long-term goals. We determine whether LED Light Therapy is suitable as a stand-alone treatment or best incorporated into a wider facial, post-treatment, acne or skin rejuvenation plan.
Treatment
