LED Light
Therapy
LED Light Therapy is a non-invasive, medical-grade treatment that uses visible and near-infrared light to support skin health, recovery and rejuvenation through photobiomodulation. The Dermalux system can deliver three therapeutic wavelengths simultaneously, allowing different skin layers and cellular pathways to be targeted during a single treatment session.
The Essentials
Best For
Skin rejuvenation, acne, redness, sensitive skin and post-procedure recovery
Procedure Duration
20 – 30 minutes
Recommended Sessions
6 – 12 sessions
Treatment Interval
1 – 2 times weekly
Downtime
None
The Science Behind LED Light Therapy

What Is Photobiomodulation?
Photobiomodulation refers to the use of specific wavelengths of light to influence cellular activity.
Within the skin, light energy is absorbed by structures called mitochondria, which are responsible for producing cellular energy. By supporting cellular metabolism and energy production, LED light supports tissue repair, inflammation regulation and normal regenerative processes.
How Does LED Light Therapy Work?
Different wavelengths of light interact with the skin in different ways.
The Dermalux system utilises three established wavelengths:

Why Are Clinic LED Devices
Different From Home Devices?
The effectiveness of LED Light Therapy depends on factors such as wavelength, energy delivery and treatment coverage.
Medical-grade LED systems can deliver clinically established wavelengths at higher energy levels and across larger treatment areas than many home-use devices, allowing multiple skin concerns to be addressed during a single treatment session.
Higher Power Density
More energy reaches the target tissue in a shorter treatment time
Uniform coverage
Entire treatment area is treated uniformly
Multiple Wavelength Delivery
Dermalux delivers up to 3 simultaneous wavelengths
Treatment consistency
Consistent power delivery
Versatility
Often used as part of a medical treatment plan
Can LED Light Therapy Support Skin Rejuvenation?
Research suggests that photobiomodulation may influence fibroblast activity and cellular metabolism within the skin.
For this reason, LED Light Therapy is commonly incorporated into skin rejuvenation and regenerative skin health programmes.
As biological remodelling occurs gradually, a series of treatments is generally recommended.
Can LED Light Therapy Be Combined
With Other Treatments?
LED Light Therapy is frequently used as a complementary treatment alongside aesthetic procedures.
Synergistic Combinations:
Lasers
Lasers can address pigmentation, redness, vascular concerns and skin texture, while LDM® may support post-treatment recovery.
What To Expect During Your Journey
02
The Treatment
You will lie comfortably beneath the LED device while selected wavelengths are delivered to the treatment area.
The treatment is painless and produces little to no heat.
04
The Cellular Response
Following treatment, cells continue responding to the delivered light energy as part of the photobiomodulation process.

Consultation
03
Post-Treatment
05
Progressive Improvement
A detailed skin assessment is performed to understand your concerns and determine the most appropriate LED treatment protocol.
There is generally no recovery period, allowing you to return to normal activities immediately.
As treatments accumulate over time, improvements in skin quality, redness, comfort and overall skin appearance may become increasingly noticeable.
