Dermalux Flex LED Phototherapy

Dermalux Flex LED Phototherapy:

The Dermalux Flex MD is an internationally CE certified Class IIA medical LED phototherapy device for the treatment of acne, psoriasis, wound healing and overall skin health. Cosmetic indications include skin rejuvenation, pigmentation, redness and sensitive skin conditions.

The Dermalux Flex MD provides a non-invasive treatment that delivers clinically proven therapeutic light energy for rejuvenating and corrective benefits. Specific wavelengths are absorbed by the skin to stimulate cell renewal and collagen production, resolve problem skin conditions such as acne and redness and accelerate skin healing. It is a safe and pain-free treatment without downtime.

Phototherapy, meaning ‘Treatment with Light’ is the application of low-level light energy to stimulate or regulate biological process with proven therapeutic effects. The mechanism of action is a natural response similar to that of plant photosynthesis through a process known as photobiomodulation. Specific wavelengths interact with biological systems and activate key cell receptors which consequently trigger a transfer of light energy to cellular energy. Skin cells that are energised function better and can renew faster to promote youthful, healthy and radiant skin.

The Dermalux Flex MD® delivers Blue 415nm, Red 633nm and Near Infrared 830nm which are the industry leading and most clinically evidenced wavelengths for the LED Phototherapy treatment. Each wavelength of light is absorbed by a different target chromophore to stimulate a specific biological pathway with proven therapeutic effects. 

The Dermalux Flex MD® is effective in the treatment and management of a wide range of cosmetic and medical skin indications as part of an overall skin care protocol, and also recommended in combination with skin treatments to enhance and accelerate results. Indications for use include but are not limited to the following conditions.

+ Skin Rejuvenation + Complexion + Dry Skin + Pigmentation: Photo-damage + Pigmentation + Acne: Mild to Moderate + Acne: Moderate to Severe + Redness: Vascular + Redness: Skin Tone + Sensitive Skin + Sensitive Skin: Problem conditions + Psoriasis + Wound Healing + Pain

BLUE LIGHT 415NM (PENETRATION UP TO 1MM)
KEY MECHANISM: ANTI-BACTERIAL
Blemish-fighting blue light destroys the bacteria which causes acne and helps in the prevention of breakouts. Blue light is absorbed by p.acnes bacteria and triggers a natural photochemical reaction releasing singlet oxygen. Singlet oxygen has a powerful antibacterial action to help eliminate spots whilst being gentle on the skin. It also helps to balance oil production and improve skin clarity.

Applied in combination with Red and Near Infrared light, the Dermalux Flex MD® treatment offers enhanced results for acne and is excellent as a post treatment procedure to help minimise breakouts and reduce redness.

RED LIGHT 633NM (PENETRATION 2 TO 3 MM)
KEY MECHANISM: REJUVENATION AND CELL RENEWAL
Rejuvenating Red light accelerates cell renewal and repair, boosting collagen and elastin synthesis for smoother firmer skin.
Red light is absorbed in the cell mitochondria and stimulates the synthesis of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), an essential energy source for cellular function. Supercharging our cells triggers a cascade of beneficial biological reactions which result in a range of skin enhancing effects. Skin cells that are energised, can function better and regenerate up to 200% faster.

Red light is potently absorbed by fibroblasts, increasing collagen and elastin synthesis and boosting hydration levels. Improved blood flow brings increased tissue oxygenation to accelerate repair whilst stimulation of the lymphatic systems helps with detoxification. Red light offers immediate improvement in skin tone, hydration and vitality whilst the beneficial light simultaneously stimulates cellular processes for long-lasting benefits in the appearance and health of the skin.

NEAR INFRARED LIGHT 830NM (PENETRATION 5 TO 10MM)
KEY MECHANISM: WOUND HEALING ACTION
Near Infrared light is absorbed in the skin’s deepest layers and works synergistically with Red light for optimum rejuvenation results. Exposure to Near Infrared light at 830nm increases blood circulation bringing vital oxygen and nutrients to help modulate inflammation, accelerate wound healing, calm irritation and reduce redness. Near Infrared light builds strength and integrity for compromised, environmentally damaged and sensitive skin conditions. It is also clinically effective in the treatment of hyperpigmentation.

The Flex MD is an essential treatment for optimum skin health and wellbeing as part of a regular skin care routine. It is also recommended in combination with skin treatments to enhance and accelerate results.

Following a single Flex MD session, clients can expect immediate improvement in skin tone, hydration and luminosity whilst the beneficial light simultaneously stimulates deeper cell processes for longer lasting benefits in the skin. For sensitive skin conditions, the Flex MD offers relief from redness and irritation.

With the Dermalux Flex MD®, treatment results are cumulative, and sessions taken in close succession are generally recommended. The number of treatments required to achieve optimum results may be subject to a number of factors which should be discussed during the consultation to manage client expectations. These include age, skin type, severity of indication, lifestyle factors and other procedures that may be included in the overall treatment programme.
