WHAT IS LED LIGHT THERAPY?

The use of LED (light-emitting-diodes) to effectively treat skin conditions, rejuvenate the skin and aid wound healing is based on significant research by NASA. LED provides a mechanism for Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT). Light therapy has a multitude of benefits assisting damaged, injured or diseased skin cells return to optimum health.

LED Phototherapy is based on the principle that living cells are able to absorb and are influenced by light. Light therapy has long been recognised for its regenerating and anti-inflammatory properties.

LED Phototherapy is a clinically proven treatment which utilises wavelengths of UV-free LED light to remedy a range of medical skin disorders and cosmetic skin concerns. It is a 100% natural therapy with zero side effects.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LED LIGHT THERAPY?

As well as the known benefits of skin rejuvenation and treatment of medical skin conditions such as acne and rosacea, LED Light Therapy has been scientifically proven to relieve arthritic pain, joint stiffness and muscular pain.

Wavelengths of LED light provide compromised cells with the energy to regain and restore vitality naturally. This boost of cellular energy results in a cascade of metabolic events leading to an increase in micro-circulation, tissue repair and a decrease in inflammation and pain.

LED Light Therapy is the favoured option for those patients looking for a minimally invasive yet effective anti-ageing treatment. As LED phototherapy evens the complexion, increases collagen in the skin and locks in moisture, it is a popular treatment for those seeking the “Hollywood Glow” without the need for chemicals, needles or downtime.

HOW DOES LED LIGHT THERAPY WORK?

Light is a powerful, natural energy which has been utilised to treat dermatological and medical conditions for thousands of years. 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, enhances serotonin production and can also accelerate our skin’s natural repair processes.

‘Light Therapy’ is often referred to as ‘phototherapy’ or ‘photo-bio-stimulation’. LED light therapy uses pre-selected wavelengths of light to enhance the beneficial results whilst removing the detrimental effects of UV light.

Treatment involves exposing the skin to low levels of this beneficial light energy from the visible and infrared part of the light spectrum which are delivered into the deeper layers of the skin. Light energy is absorbed by the 'energy centre' - mitrochondria of each cell 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 results in healthier, more resilient skin with a refined, radiant complexion.

As the skin cells harness this light energy, a natural cellular cascade results in increased localised blood flow, accelerated skin healing and a boost in skin cell turnover to support healthy, resilient skin.

WHAT LED SYSTEM DOES THE CLINIC USE?

Our Doctor led clinic uses the multi-award winning Dermalux® Triwave LED system - a world leading and trusted British brand for professional LED Phototherapy. This innovative LED System has been created with an ergonomic design to ensure the diodes are as close to the skin surface as possible to maximise energy transfer, whilst distant enough to ensure an even coverage across the treatment area.

This cutting-edge LED Phototherapy system uses narrow band, non-thermal UV light energy to trigger your body’s natural cell processes to accelerate rejuvenation and repair of the skin. LED Light Therapy can be used safely on the face, neck and all areas of the body delivering visible results with no downtime.

Voted Best UK Manufacturer 2018 and UK Treatment of The Year for five consecutive years at the Aesthetic Awards, Dermalux®combines clinically proven wavelengths of light with the breakthrough proprietary LED technology to deliver safe and effective results for a wide range of skin concerns without discomfort and zero recovery time.

The wavelengths of light used; blue 415nm, red 630nm and Infrared 830nm have been chosen to maximise the benefit to the recipient, whilst offering increased safety.

IS DERMALUX® LED LIGHT THERAPY SUITABLE FOR ME?

Everyone can benefit from LED Phototherapy. The Dermalux® Triwave system is ideal for women and men of all races and skin tones. As this is a 100% natural therapy with zero side effects, Dermalux® Light Therapy is suitable for those who suffer with the most sensitive skin and is also safe to treat teenage skin concerns such as acne, breakouts and blemishes.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS WITH THE DERMALUX® LED LIGHT THERAPY TREATMENT?

Dermalux® Light Therapy is a safe, effective treatment offering the benefits of no side effects, no risk of irritation and no down time that may be associated with more invasive procedures. There have been no reported side effects in over 1,700 clinical studies and it does not harm the body in any way.

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?

Dermalux® LED Light therapy delivers immediate visible effects. After just one treatment, skin is hydrated, plump and radiant with any redness or irritation calmed. With LED Phototherapy, the results are cumulative and improvement to skin tone and texture will continue even after the treatment has stopped. Treatments taken in quick succession will achieve optimum results.

The benefits to the skin can last for several months following a course of LED Phototherapy treatments. However, as with any skin treatment, maintenance sessions are advised to ensure lasting results.

IS DERMALUX® LED LIGHT THERAPY SAFE?

The differences between the positive and negative effects of light are the amount and the parts of the light spectrum we are exposed to. On-going exposure to UV is very damaging but controlled levels of Red, Blue and Near Infrared light are clinically proven to be beneficial.

Treatment with the Dermalux® Triwave LED system utilises wavelengths of UV-free LED light to remedy a range of medical skin disorders and cosmetic skin concerns. It is a 100% natural therapy with zero side effects. There have been no reported side effects in over 1,700 clinical studies and it is safe to use in pregnancy and those who are breastfeeding.

IS DERMALUX® LED LIGHT THERAPY SUITABLE FOR BLACK & ASIAN SKIN TYPES?

Dermalux® LED therapy is suitable for all races and skin tones. This innovative technology offers an effective skin rejuvenation treatment without the risk of hyperpigmentation.

Tailoring skin care for people of colour has grown in awareness over recent years. However, many skin care clinics lack experience and expertise in treating darker skin tones with some informing patients that their skin is not suitable for some common skin rejuvenation treatments and aesthetic procedures.

The diverse client base of our Doctor led Skin Health Clinic has enhanced our experience and confidence in treating all skin types and ethnicities. As always, Dr Ayanna Knight works closely with each patient to provide a bespoke skin care program tailored to their individual skin health needs.

 DOES DERMALUX® LED LIGHT THERAPY TREATMENT HURT?

LED Phototherapy is a painless and relaxing experience. Once the LED Light is activated following gentle skin cleansing, you will feel a soothing, warm feeling as the light energy is delivered.

WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED AFTERCARE ADVICE FOLLOWING DERMALUX® LED LIGHT THERAPY?

As LED therapy does not create photosensitivity, it is a safe treatment directly pre and post sun exposure. In fact, it is particularly beneficial at this time to strengthen and replenish the skin to repair damage caused by UV exposure.

Everyone, regardless of skin type, should practice a complete sun protection strategy. The most essential part of your skin care routine is the application of SPF 30+ sunscreen on exposed areas of the skin including the face, neck and hands. Dr Ayanna Knight recommends applying sunscreen daily throughout the year, even on overcast and cloudy days.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE DERMALUX® LED LIGHT THERAPY?

A course of Dermalux® LED sessions offers corrective and lasting improvement in the appearance and health of the skin. The number of treatments can vary with age, skin type and condition. Following consultation and examination of your skin, Dr Ayanna Knight will advise on the most effective treatment course tailored to your individual needs.

For optimal results we recommend a course of treatments with sessions ideally 1-2 times weekly. As Dermalux® LED Light therapy does not harm the skin, there is no limit to the amount of treatments you can have. Following your initial course of Dermalux® LED sessions, maintenance sessions are advised to maintain the benefits gained from the initial course and continue to support skin health for long lasting results.

 WHAT IS RED LED LIGHT THERAPY?

The use of Red LED light has been proven in the field of healing & rejuvenation, anti-ageing, wound care and pain relief. Red Light therapy at wavelength 630nm, is the preferred option for skin rejuvenation due to it's ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the dermis of the skin.

This specific wavelength of pure light is capable of penetrating the skin to a depth of around 8 to 10 mm. Once absorbed, this red light energy is converted to cellular energy which stimulates the skin’s natural processes on a cellular level. The result is a series of metabolic events including increased lymphatic drainage, enhanced collagen production and reduced inflammation,

The increase in collagen production following LED light therapy strengthens the skin structure and increases the capability of the skin to retain moisture. This increased resilience of the skin is why red light therapy is an effective treatment for Rosacea and to reduce the redness and inflammation associated with broken capillaries and thread veins.

WHAT CAN RED LED LIGHT THERAPY TREAT?

Red LED Light penetrates deeply into the skin, to stimulate collagen, encourage cellular repair and boost the circulation to the face. These processes improve skin quality resulting in a more youthful and vibrant complexion. The combination of benefits from Red LED Light help produce the anti-ageing response in the skin as well as ameliorate a range of medical skin disorders.

 WHAT IS BLUE LED LIGHT THERAPY?

Blue light therapy at 415nm is predominantly used for its anti-bacterial properties and in the main the treatment of acne. The blue light emitted from the device is absorbed by porphyrin. The bacterial causing acne, P.acne contains abundant amounts of porphyrin and when the blue light is absorbed, an oxygen free-radical is created which is released into the bacteria and results in bacterial death.

Blue light also has anti-inflammatory characteristics although the best results are seen when combining red and blue light for its additional skin rejuvenation and wound healing benefits.

WHAT CAN BLUE LED LIGHT THERAPY TREAT?

Blue LED Light is effective in the treatment of mild to moderate acne, as well as stabilising oil glands, easing inflammation and oxygenating the skin. In addition to the clinically proven effects that this treatment has on the skin, Blue LED Light Therapy is also a popular treatment to boost wellbeing and low mood. Blue LED Light Therapy can improve a range of cosmetic and medical skin disorders.

CAN LED LIGHT THERAPY IMPROVE ARTHRITIS & JOINT PAIN?

LED Light Therapy has been scientifically proven to relieve arthritic pain, muscle and joint pain and stiffness. Wavelengths of LED light provide compromised cells with the energy to regain and restore vitality naturally.

The deeply penetrating wavelengths of LED light are absorbed by the 'energy centre' - mitrochondria of each cell. This process increases the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), the fuel that drives all cells. This boost of cellular energy results in a cascade of metabolic events leading to an increase in micro-circulation, tissue repair and a decrease in inflammation and pain.

CAN I PROCEED WITH A TREATMENT ON THE SAME DAY AS CONSULTATION?

Following a full medical consultation including skin health & lifestyle assessment to ascertain suitability for treatment, Dr Ayanna Knight will advise on the most effective treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.

If no contraindications are identified for the treatment and you feel fully informed about the procedure, Dr Ayanna Knight will offer you the option to proceed with the treatment on the same day.
