Question 1

How many Dermalux sessions do I need?

Accepted Answer

A typical course runs six to twelve sessions, twice weekly at first, then tapering to weekly and monthly maintenance. The exact number depends on what your skin is doing and what we're trying to support. After the initial course, most clients keep monthly top-ups to hold the result. I'll plan the schedule with you after the first session, not before.

Question 2

Does LED therapy hurt?

Accepted Answer

No. There is no heat, no needles, no contact with your skin beyond the eye protection I give you. The under-panel time is around thirty minutes, plus cleanse, actives, and moisturiser at the end - around forty minutes total in the room. Most clients describe the panel time as the calmest half-hour of their week.

Question 3

What's the difference between Dermalux and an at-home LED mask?

Accepted Answer

Wavelength accuracy, output strength, and treatment area. A clinical Dermalux panel hits specific wavelengths at strengths that consumer masks rarely match, across a full-face area in one session. At-home masks have their place for very gentle maintenance, but the cumulative results from a clinical course are in a different category.

Question 4

Can I have LED if I'm pregnant?

Accepted Answer

No. Pregnancy is on my contraindication list for LED, alongside photosensitivity conditions, recent photosensitising medication use, healing invasive procedures, and a history of skin cancer in the treatment area. I'll always check before booking. If you're unsure whether something applies, message me before booking and we'll work it out together.

Question 5

Will LED help with acne, pigmentation, or wrinkles?

Accepted Answer

I can't make medical-claim statements like 'treats' or 'cures' those conditions. What I can say honestly: Dermalux supports calmer-looking skin, more even-looking tone, smoother surface texture, and slower visible signs of ageing in skin appearance. For acne specifically, it depends on the grade. For mild to moderate acne-prone skin, blue light targets bacteria on the skin surface and can lead to a calmer, less reactive complexion. The course as a whole helps the skin settle, supports barrier recovery, and makes the skin more receptive to a properly chosen home routine. For severe or cystic acne, see a GP first - LED is supportive, not a replacement for medical treatment. If you're hoping for medical treatment of a condition, see a dermatologist. If you're hoping for cosmetic improvement in skin appearance, this is one of the tools that works.

Question 6

Should I combine LED with a facial or do it stand-alone?

Accepted Answer

Both work. Stand-alone is faster per session and lets you stack a course at higher frequency. Combined with a bespoke facial gives more comprehensive skin work per visit. Most regular clients end up doing both at different points - a course of stand-alone LED for momentum, then bespoke facials with LED layered in for ongoing skin programme.
