What is Dermalux?
Dermalux is a treatment using medical LED light therapy. It utilizes specific light waves that support the skin in its natural repair processes. The treatment is non-surgical, causes no thermal damage, and can be applied as a standalone treatment or as a complement to other skin-improving treatments. Official information from Dermalux describes LED phototherapy as a non-invasive treatment that supports cellular repair processes.
How does the treatment work?
During the treatment, you lie relaxed under the LED panel. The skin is exposed to specific light waves for a fixed period of time, tailored to the treatment goal and skin condition.
The chosen treatment protocol depends on the indication, skin reactivity, and any combination with other treatments. In the literature, LED therapy is described as a form of non-thermal photobiomodulation with applications in dermatology and skin improvement.
Results and effects
The results of Dermalux vary depending on skin type, skin condition, and treatment indication. Many clients experience calmer-looking skin and a fresher appearance. During a course of treatments, gradual improvement may become visible in skin texture, redness, or impurities, depending on the goal of the treatment.
Possible effects are:
For acne, light therapy is typically part of a broader treatment plan and not always sufficient as the sole treatment. The American Academy of Dermatology indicates that light treatments can reduce acne, but rarely resolve it completely on their own.
Treatment duration
A Dermalux treatment takes an average of 20 to 30 minutes. The number of treatments depends on the indication and the treatment plan. For some skin goals, a course of treatments is recommended.

Dermalux itself states that LED phototherapy is suitable for all skin types and can be applied year-round.
Aftercare and recovery
Dermalux usually requires little to no recovery time.
Because the treatment is non-ablative and non-thermal, the recovery time is usually limited.
