Have you considered LED phototherapy for Acne treatment?

Acne can be a persistent and distressing skin condition, but advancements in technology have brought forth effective solutions. LED therapy, specifically with Dermalux, has emerged as a game-changer in acne treatment. 

In this blog post, we will explore the remarkable benefits of LED therapy for acne and how Dermalux triwave LED phototherapy delivers clinically proven wavelengths, revolutionising acne management at our cosmetic clinic in Harborne, Birmingham especially when combined with prescription or medical grade skincare as well as chemical peels in some cases.

How does LED phototherapy work?

The procedure requires exposing the skin to particular wavelengths or nanometers (nm) derived from both the visible (coloured) and invisible infrared portions of the light spectrum. The choice of wavelength plays a critical role in ensuring the efficacy of the LED treatment, as it determines the level of light absorption. Wavelengths of 390-600nm reach superficial layers while 600-1100nm penetrate deep layers of the skin.

The Dermalux LED technology delivers clinically proven wavelengths of Blue 415nm, Red 633nm, and Near Infrared 830nm at safe and optimised intensities. These established wavelengths can be delivered individually or combined in multi-wavelength treatments. Multiple studies have demonstrated blue-red light to be superior to blue light alone in treating acne. Blue-red light is also considered safe in pregnancy. 

Understanding the Advantages of LED Therapy for Acne

Targeted Bacterial Elimination: LED therapy employs specific wavelengths of light to combat acne-causing bacteria deep within the skin. Blue light, in the range of 415-420nm, effectively penetrates the skin to eliminate bacteria called c.acnes, reducing inflammation and preventing future breakouts.

Promoting Skin Healing and Renewal: LED therapy is not limited to bacteria-fighting benefits. Red light, with a wavelength of 630-660nm, stimulates collagen production, improves blood circulation, and reduces inflammation, all of which contribute to the healing and renewal of acne-prone skin.

The Clinical Effectiveness of Dermalux LED Therapy

Precision with Proven Wavelengths: Dermalux LED therapy ensures the precise delivery of clinically proven wavelengths. This precision delivers optimal treatment efficacy by targeting the specific depths within the skin where acne-causing bacteria reside, resulting in a more targeted and efficient acne solution.

Customised Treatment Plans: At our Harborne clinic, Dr Kaur and Luisa (facial aesthetician at Utopia) assess each individual’s unique skin concerns and design personalised treatment plans incorporating Dermalux LED therapy when appropriate. This customised approach maximises the benefits of LED therapy, addressing specific acne-related issues and tailoring the treatment to achieve the best possible results for our patients.
