At Skin Medical, under the expert guidance of Dr Sabika Karim, we offer Dermalux’s Triwave-MD a multi-award winning,  professional LED Phototherapy

 

Using LED to boost your skin’s natural healing process

What does Dermalux LED Therapy do?

Dermalux technology is based on the principles of phototherapy, which uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate the skin’s natural healing processes. Originally developed for medical purposes (e.g. psoriasis treatment), phototherapy has been widely adopted in aesthetic therapy. Dermalux has taken this technology a step further, combining different wavelengths to target multiple skin concerns simultaneously.

The core of Dermalux technology lies in the use of LED (Light Emitting Diodes) light. LED light therapy is safe, non-invasive, and free from harmful side effects. The technology has been extensively researched to ensure maximum efficacy and safety.

Before and After

Dermalux products utilise a unique combination of three clinically proven wavelengths: blue, red, and near-infrared light. Each wavelength penetrates the skin at different depths, which each have specific benefits:

  • Blue Light (415nm): Eliminates bacteria, treats spots and improves skin clarity.
  • Red Light (633nm): Penetrates more deeply and boosts collagen production, reduces inflammation, and increases hydration.
  • Near-Infrared Light (830nm): Reaches the deepest layers to accelerate tissue repair, reduce pain, and improve the overall health of the skin, even for the most sensitive skins.

Dermalux LED Therapy Aftercare Summary

Dermalux Triwave MD is a multi-award-winning professional LED phototherapy treatment that uses three clinically proven wavelengths of light to stimulate the skin’s natural healing and regeneration processes. Blue light at 415nm eliminates bacteria and improves skin clarity, red light at 633nm boosts collagen production, reduces inflammation and increases hydration, and near-infrared light at 830nm reaches the deepest layers of the skin to accelerate tissue repair and improve overall skin health. At Skin Medical, Dermalux treatments are delivered under the expert guidance of Dr Sabika Karim as a standalone treatment or as part of a wider skin health programme.

Dermalux Pre-Treatment Guidance

Dermalux requires very little preparation, making it one of the most straightforward and accessible treatments we offer.

To get the most from your appointment:

  • Arrive with clean skin where possible, free from heavy make-up or skincare products
  • Inform your practitioner of any active skin conditions, recent procedures or sensitivities in the treatment area
  • Let your practitioner know if you are taking any photosensitising medications, as this may affect suitability for certain wavelengths

During your visit:

  • The skin will be cleansed before treatment begins if needed
  • No anaesthetic is required
  • Treatment time is typically 20 to 30 minutes

What to Expect Immediately After Dermalux LED Therapy

Dermalux is a comfortable, relaxing treatment with virtually no side effects and no downtime.

You may experience:

  • A gentle warmth or mild flushing immediately after treatment, which settles within minutes
  • Skin that feels soothed, refreshed and noticeably more radiant straight away

There is no redness, peeling or sensitivity following a standard Dermalux session. Most patients leave the clinic with an immediate improvement in skin glow and clarity.

Dermalux Post-Treatment Care

One of the greatest benefits of Dermalux LED therapy is that no formal recovery protocol is required. A few simple steps will help protect your results and support the skin’s ongoing regeneration process.

  • Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or above before going outdoors, as protecting the skin from UV exposure helps preserve the benefits of the treatment
  • Keep the skin hydrated with your usual moisturiser
  • You can apply make-up and return to your full skincare routine immediately after treatment
  • If Dermalux has been used following another procedure such as microneedling or a peel, follow the aftercare guidance specific to that treatment, as the post-treatment restrictions for the combined procedure will apply

When Will I See Results from Dermalux LED Therapy?

Dermalux delivers both immediate and progressive results.

  • An immediate improvement in skin radiance, clarity and overall glow is visible straight after treatment
  • Further improvements in skin tone, texture, hydration and collagen activity develop over the following weeks as the light therapy continues to work at a cellular level
  • Results can last several months with regular sessions
  • For sustained benefits, periodic maintenance treatments are recommended

A course of treatments is often recommended for patients targeting specific concerns such as acne, pigmentation or skin ageing. Your practitioner will advise on the most appropriate treatment frequency based on your skin goals.

Who May Not Be Suitable for Dermalux LED Therapy?

Dermalux is suitable for virtually all skin types, including sensitive and reactive skin. It may not be appropriate if you are taking photosensitising medications, have a history of photosensitivity disorders, or have active skin conditions that may be aggravated by light therapy. Your practitioner will confirm suitability at your consultation.

When to Contact Skin Medical

Dermalux is an exceptionally safe and well-tolerated treatment with an outstanding safety profile. However, please contact Skin Medical if you experience:

  • Any unexpected skin reaction following treatment
  • Prolonged redness or sensitivity that does not settle quickly
  • Any concerns about your skin following your session

We are here to support you and to answer any questions about your skin or your ongoing treatment plan at every step of your journey with us.
