WHAT IS LED PHOTOTHERAPY?

Phototherapy, meaning ‘Treatment with Light’ is the application of low-level light energy to stimulate or regulate biological process with proven therapeutic effects. The mechanism of action is a natural response similar to that of plant photosynthesis through a process known as photobiomodulation.

LED Phototherapy is well evidenced for its regenerative and anti-inflammatory benefits without creating trauma making it safe and suitable for all skin types. The treatment involves exposing the skin to low levels of beneficial light energy from the visible and infrared part of the light spectrum.

Specific wavelengths interact with biological systems and activate key cell receptors which consequently trigger a transfer of light energy to cellular energy. Skin cells that are energised function better and can renew faster to promote youthful, healthy and radiant skin.

With a shift towards non-invasive treatments, LED Phototherapy offers a progressive alternative to more aggressive procedures which can carry a higher risk of adverse response, discomfort and downtime. LED energy delivered via spectrally pure wavelengths stimulate the skin’s own repair mechanism, correct problem skin conditions and help to restore optimum skin function.

DERMALUX FLEX

Dermalux LED Phototherapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses clinically proven therapeutic light energy to trigger the skins natural rejuvenation and repair processes without pain or downtime.

Dermalux uses unique combinations of clinically proven Blue, Red and Near Infrared wavelengths to boost collagen production, increase hydration, calm redness and irritation and blemish causing bacteria. As the light triggers a whole cascade of skin enhancing processes, the benefits continue even after the treatment has finished.

ADURO PRO LED

Aduro Pro LED targets multiple skin concerns on different parts of the face. This means we can use any of our 8 light wavelength options comprising both primary and secondary light wavelength options, including our near infrared Skin Booster across 4 unique areas being the face, eyes, nose and mouth area.

The Aduro mask is featured in our LED Lounge area for clients wanting light therapy on the go or during their lunch breaks at work.

MAIN WAVELENGTHS EXPLAINED

Each wavelength of light is absorbed by a different target chromophore to stimulate specific skin enhancing processes with proven therapeutic effects.

Blue Light 415nm (penetration up to 1 mm)

ANTI-BACTERIAL: Blemish fighting blue light destroys the bacteria which causes acne and helps in the prevention of breakouts.

Red Light 633nm (penetration 2 to 3mm)

REJUVENATION AND CELL RENEWAL: Rejuvenating Red light accelerates cell renewal and repair, boosting collagen and elastin synthesis for smoother firmer skin.

near infrared light

Near Infrared Light 830nm (penetration 5 to 10mm), penetrates the deepest layer of the skin; reducing pigmentation and scarring, relieving pain and inflammation, rejuvenating skin, treating rosacea, calming redness and irritation, reducing age spots and promotes wound healing and pain relief.

Exposure to NIR wavelength increases blood circulation bringing vital oxygen and nutrients to help modulate inflammation, accelerate wound healing, calm irritation and reduce redness. NIR light builds strength and integrity for compromised, environmentally damaged and sensitive skin conditions. It is also clinically effective in the treatment of hyperpigmentation.

FREQUENCY

A treatment course offers cumulative benefits and can be targeted to specific skin concerns for the face and body with lasting and visible improvement.

COURSE RECOMMENDATION: An intensive course of 12 treatments are generally recommended for all indications at a frequency of 2 sessions per week for optimum cell activation.

TREATMENT FREQUENCY: A 24-hour time period between treatments is generally recommended for inflammatory conditions such as acne, redness and sensitive skin, however for general skin rejuvenation, treatments can be taken in daily succession.

COURSE FREQUENCY: Due to cell activation, results can last for several weeks following a course of LED treatments. However, regular maintenance treatments are advised to extend your results as part of an on-going skin health programme.

WHO IS THIS SUITABLE FOR?

Our skin has the ability to absorb light energy and use it to stimulate or regulate essential cell processes. LED Phototherapy is the application of beneficial wavelengths from the visible and infrared part of the light spectrum which have proven skin enhancing benefits. Skin cells that are energised function better and can renew up to 200% faster accelerating regeneration and repair.

LED Phototherapy is well evidenced for its regenerative and anti-inflammatory benefits without creating trauma making it safe and suitable for all skin types, including:

Rejuvenation
Complexion
Dry Skin
Pigmentation: Photo-damage
Pigmentation
Acne: Mild to Moderate
Acne: Moderate to Severe
Redness: Vascular
Redness: Skin Tone
Sensitive Skin
Psoriasis
Wound Healing
Pain

BEFORE LED LIGHT THERAPY

There are some circumstances, medical conditions and medications in which LED may prove to be unsuitable.

Before coming in for LED, here are some questions you may need to consider:

Are you pregnant? LED systems have NOT been tested on pregnant women and therefore the risk to the foetus or pregnant women is unknown.
Are you taking or applying topically any prescription medications? Certain medications can induce photosensitivity and may be contra-indicated for the treatment.
Have you started using any new skin care products in the last month? Certain ingredients such as vitamin A are known to increase light sensitivity and skin can go through change as it adapts to new products.
Are you currently taking St John’s Wort or other herbal remedies? Taken in regular high doses, this may increase the risk of a phototoxic reaction.
Do you smoke? Do you have an outdoor lifestyle/activities? Do you use sunbeds? Clients who smoke, use sunbeds or have regular sun exposure are advised that additional LED treatments may be required to achieve the optimum result.

Please read through our contraindications to see if LED light therapy is suitable for you.
