What does Dermalux LED actually do?
If you've heard people talking about LED light therapy but aren't quite sure what it actually does, you're not alone.
Dermalux LED Phototherapy has become one of the most sought-after skin treatments in clinics worldwide—and for good reason. This innovative treatment is completely non-invasive, pain-free, and clinically proven to improve a wide range of skin concerns without damaging your skin.
But what does it actually do?
What is Dermalux LED?
Dermalux LED Phototherapy uses carefully selected wavelengths of light energy to stimulate your skin cells. Unlike UV light from the sun, LED light doesn't burn or damage the skin. Instead, it encourages your cells to work more efficiently, helping the skin repair, regenerate and rejuvenate naturally.
Think of it as giving your skin cells an energy boost—helping them perform at their very best.
How does it work?
Every cell in your body needs energy to function. Dermalux delivers light energy deep into the skin where it's absorbed by the cells.
This process increases the production of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) – the energy source that powers every cell in the body.
With more energy available, your skin can:
Produce more collagen and elastin.
Repair damaged tissue faster.
Reduce inflammation
Improve circulation
Speed up healing
Restore a healthier complexion.
The treatment itself is completely relaxing—simply lie back beneath the soothing light and let it work its magic.
The Three Therapeutic Light Wavelengths
Blue Light (415nm)
Perfect for acne-prone skin.
Blue light helps destroy acne-causing bacteria while reducing excess oil production. It can help minimise breakouts and improve congested skin without the dryness often associated with harsh acne products.
Ideal for:
Acne
Oily skin
Congestion
Breakouts
Red Light (633nm)
The anti-ageing favourite.
Red light stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles while improving skin firmness and overall radiance.
It also calms redness and supports skin repair.
Ideal for:
Fine lines
Wrinkles
Ageing skin
Rosacea
Sensitive skin
Skin rejuvenation
Near Infrared Light (830nm)
The healing powerhouse.
This wavelength penetrates deepest into the skin to accelerate repair and reduce inflammation.
It's particularly beneficial following aesthetic treatments and for anyone wanting to improve skin recovery.
Ideal for:
Healing
Inflammation
Post-treatment recovery
Sensitive skin
Muscle tension
Overall skin health
What skin concerns can Dermalux help with?
Dermalux is suitable for almost everyone and can improve:
✔ Acne and breakouts
✔ Fine lines and wrinkles
✔ Dull or tired-looking skin
✔ Rosacea and redness
✔ Sensitive skin
✔ Pigmentation
✔ Dry, dehydrated skin
✔ Inflammation
✔ Wound healing
✔ Post-treatment recovery

Can it be added to other treatments?
Absolutely.
Dermalux is one of the best treatments to combine with facials because it enhances the results of many skin therapies.
At Serenity, we often recommend adding Dermalux to:
Medical-grade facials
Microneedling
Chemical peels
Manual Lymphatic Drainage Facial
Skin rejuvenation programmes
It helps calm the skin afterwards, reduces redness and encourages faster healing.
Is there any downtime?
None.
After treatment, your skin simply looks fresher, brighter and healthier.
Many clients describe their skin as having an immediate, radiant glow.
You can return to work, wear makeup (if advised after your treatment) and continue your day as normal.
How many treatments will I need?
Many people notice a brighter complexion after just one treatment.
However, for concerns such as acne, ageing or rosacea, a course of treatments usually delivers the best long-term results.
During your consultation, we'll recommend a personalised treatment plan based on your skin goals.
Is Dermalux safe?
Yes.
Dermalux LED Phototherapy is clinically proven, non-invasive and suitable for most skin types.
It does not use UV light, so it won't tan or damage your skin.
The treatment is comfortable, relaxing and requires no recovery time.
