Dermalux
Precare, Aftercare & Consent
Dermalux LED Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that harnesses the power of pure light to accelerate the skins natural rejuvenation and repair processes.
The Dermalux treatment offers a natural, pain-free and effective way to achieve youthful and healthy skin. The visible effects can be immediate, after just one treatment. Skin becomes more hydrated, plump and radiant and any redness and irritation is calmed. A course of treatments offers a more dramatic and lasting improvement in the appearance and health of the skin.
It also provides treatment of compromised and reactive skin conditions. It helps Acne and Rosacea, Pigmentation & other inflammatory disorders such as Eczema, Dermatitis & Psoriasis.
Is Dermalux Safe?
Yes, it is safe and anyone can have this treatment unless you have a condition that makes you light sensitive.
Everyone can benefit from LED light therapy. LED’s emit a low-level light energy that will not burn or irritate the skin. It is suitable for all skin types and age groups. There is also no risk of unwanted side effects or downtime, which is often seen with more invasive procedures.
The technology of LED Light therapy is over 100 years old. It has been shown in independent clinical research to deliver powerful therapeutic benefits to living tissue. It is medically recognised and has approval to treat for a wide range of skin concerns. LED light is rapidly becoming one of the most powerful skincare treatments.
