Red light:

Red light increases natural hydration levels, reduces redness and inflammation, minimises the appearance of pores, regulates oil production, improves circulation, and is medically approved to treat conditions like rosacea.

Blue light:

Blue light offers powerful antibacterial benefits and is known as a prescription-grade treatment to treat acne without causing irritation. It also provides a UV-free alternative for managing eczema and psoriasis.

Near-infrared light:

Near-infrared light penetrates the deepest skin layers, improving cell permeability and absorption. It smooths fine lines and wrinkles, enhances elasticity, and reduces pain and inflammation.

Results vary depending on your specific skin concerns.

While you’ll typically see visible improvements after completing your recommended course, we may suggest combining Dermalux LED Light Therapy with complementary treatments for enhanced results.

The number of LED light treatments needed varies based on your skin concerns and goals.

For optimal results, an initial Activate course of 12 treatments, performed 2-3 times per week, is recommended to boost skin cell activity.

Maintenance treatments can follow to sustain results.

A shorter Boost course of three treatments is ideal for revitalising the skin before special events or addressing mild concerns.

Visible improvements, such as reduced redness and enhanced hydration, often appear after a few sessions, while long-term benefits like fine line reduction may require the full protocol.
