LED Phototherapy is based on the principle that living cells are able to absorb and are influenced by light and the treatment has long been recognised for its regenerating and anti-inflammatory properties.
While we often associate light exposure with skin ageing and damage, light also has many positive influences on the body. It helps us produce vitamin D and provides energy and serotonin and can also accelerate our skin’s natural repair processes.
The differences between the positive and negative effects of light are the amount and the parts of the light spectrum we are exposed to. Ongoing exposure to UV is very damaging but controlled levels of Red, Blue and Near Infrared light are clinically proven to be beneficial.
The treatment involves exposing the skin to low levels of this beneficial light energy from the visible and infrared part of the light spectrum which energise cellular functions to stimulate various cellular processes with therapeutic effects. Skin cells that are energised function better and regenerate faster which in turn leads to younger, healthy and radiant skin.
The effects of LED Phototherapy are a natural response like that of plant photosynthesis through a process known as photobiomodulation.
Achieving results with LED Phototherapy is dependent on several key parameters to maximise the light / chromophore interaction that allow photobiomodulation to take place.
The key parameter is the precise wavelength or nanometre (nm) which determines the target for the light and the depth of penetration into the skin. The second important parameter is the output power or photon intensity.
Following a single Dermalux® treatment, clients can expect immediate improvement in skin tone, hydration and overall radiance which will continue in the following days. Redness and irritation are calmed. However, most changes occur naturally over a course of treatment.
The number of treatments required for optimum results is subject to several factors including indication, lifestyle factors and other procedures that may be included in the overall treatment programme. This will be assessed during the consultation.
Results with LED Phototherapy are cumulative and a course of treatments taken in close succession is recommended for optimum results. Results can last for several months and regular maintenance treatments offer lasting improvement in the appearance and health of the skin.
