Your consultation will begin with understanding what you want to improve. You may feel your skin looks red, reactive, blemish-prone, dull, tired, inflamed or slow to heal after other treatments.

We will assess your skin type, sensitivity, acne history, redness, pigmentation, current skincare, recent treatments and any medical skin conditions. This helps decide whether Dermalux LED phototherapy is suitable and which wavelength programme may be most appropriate.

You will also be asked about medications, light sensitivity, photosensitising treatments, epilepsy triggered by light, pregnancy, active infection, eye conditions and recent procedures. Although LED phototherapy is generally gentle, suitability still matters.

If treatment is suitable, your skin is usually cleansed and your eyes are protected before you lie under the Dermalux light. The treatment itself is typically calm and comfortable, with no needles, peeling or heat-based injury to the skin.

We will explain how many sessions may be recommended, what results are realistic, whether Dermalux should be used alone or alongside another treatment, and what aftercare is needed. For many people, aftercare is simple, but sun protection and appropriate skincare remain important.
