Dermalux LED Light Therapy

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 specific skin enhancing processes with proven therapeutic effects.

Dermalux enables these beneficial wavelengths to be delivered in single or multi-wavelength mode via seven protocol options, offering a tailored and adaptable treatment approach. Multi-wavelength treatments target a range of indications in one session for maximum skin enhancing results.

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 3mm)

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 for cellular function. Supercharging our cells triggers a cascade of beneficial biological reactions which result in a range skin enhancing effects. Skin cells that are energised function better can 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 system 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 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 skins 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.

Dermalux can be combined with a wide range of procedures at Bonnie Quines including Skin Peels, MicroNeedling, Lemon Bottle, Radio Frequency, it will also advance the results of more traditional facial treatments.

It is particularly effective with resurfacing procedures where superficial layers of the stratum corneum are removed. Dead skin cells create an uneven surface which increases the reflection of light. Creating a smooth and more homogenous surface allows light to pass through the protective barrier of the epidermis.
