DERMALUX LED

What Is LED Light Therapy?

LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to trigger natural cellular processes and promote skin healing, regeneration and rejuvenation.

It’s a type of phototherapy or photo-biomodulation treatment, meaning that light is used as a therapeutic tool to treat various skin concerns gently, painlessly and safely.

At Dr. Jenny Clinic, we use the Dermalux Flex MD, the world’s most powerful portable LED device. It is FDA approved and CE medically certified, offering clinically proven results with no discomfort or downtime.

How Does Dermalux Flex LED Work?

The Dermalux device emits low-level light energy at targeted wavelengths (blue, red, and near-infrared), each of which has a unique effect on the skin:

• Blue Light: Kills acne-causing bacteria and calms blemish-prone skin

• Red Light: Boosts collagen production, improves texture and tone and accelerates healing

• Near-Infrared Light: Reduces inflammation and promotes deep tissue regeneration

The treatment is relaxing, painless and safe for all skin types with no downtime. Some people will report a very tolerable and very pleasant warmth due to increased circulation.

What Skin Concerns Can Dermalux LED Help With?

• Acne and breakouts

• Redness and rosacea

• Pigmentation and uneven tone

• Sensitive or reactive skin

• Fine lines and loss of radiance

• Inflammatory skin conditions (e.g. eczema, psoriasis)

• Post-procedure healing support

• General skin rejuvenation and glow

What to Expect from Your Appointment

• You’ll first receive a consultation to assess suitability and skin concerns.

• Your skin will be cleansed, protective goggles applied and you will relax under the light for 20-30 minutes.

• We’ll play calming music while you rest under the light: it’s a lovely moment of pause in your day! (and a pleasant way to calm you and your skin after a pinchy skin treatment)

• If your LED session is part of a post-treatment protocol, it will last 15–20 minutes and be offered complimentary.

Treatment Protocols and How Many Sessions Are Needed

While single sessions can offer a quick glow, results are cumulative and courses deliver the best results.

Dermalux treatment options:

• Activation Programme: 12 sessions (2–3 times per week) to target deeper skin concerns with long-lasting results

• Boost Programme: A short course of 3 sessions or a one-off glow-up before a special event

• Combination Programme: LED used in combination with your injectable or collagen-induction treatments to enhance and accelerate results (offered complimentary for qualifying treatments)

Factors influencing the recommended treatment sessions include age, skin type, severity and nature of skin your condition, lifestyle factors and end goals. Your recommended treatment plan will be tailored with these factors in mind.

Is LED Therapy Safe? Are There Any Contraindications?

LED therapy is very safe, but there are certain medical conditions and medications that may make it unsuitable.

LED treatment is contraindicated for:

• Epilepsy or light-triggered seizures

• Porphyria

• Autoimmune conditions (e.g. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus)

• Photosensitive eczema

• Active cancer

• Hypomelanism

• Use of photosensitising medications (e.g. antibiotics, St John’s Wort)

We ask that you provide a full list of current medications at the time of booking. Depending on the medication, we may ask that you wait 5-7 days after stopping the medication or completing your course before undergoing LED treatment or if the treatment is fully contraindicated we will advise you of this.

Precautions may be needed for:

• Eye disease (e.g. glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, recent laser surgery): we will require a letter from your ophthalmologist confirming safety before we can proceed

• Light-induced headaches

• Pregnancy (not tested for use during pregnancy)

• New skincare products or actives which may increase sensitivity and irritation.

• Smoking and excessive sun exposure (may reduce treatment effectiveness)
