Dermalux LED Light Therapy in Croydon
Dermalux LED Light Therapy is a non-invasive light treatment designed to support radiance, calm visible irritation and help the skin’s natural repair processes with no downtime.
Dermalux uses selected therapeutic wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity, also known as photobiomodulation. This can help support concerns such as breakouts, redness, sensitivity, dullness, uneven tone and visible signs of ageing.
Treatments are painless, suitable for all skin tones when appropriate, and can be used as a standalone skin treatment or as an add-on to selected facials. The safety and effectiveness of Dermalux LED is supported by over 3,000 published clinical studies.
Why Dermalux LED
Dermalux is a multi-award-winning LED Phototherapy brand used by skin professionals worldwide to support skin health, recovery and visible radiance. At Queen B we use the Dermalux Flex MD — a medically CE certified and FDA approved LED Phototherapy device using clinically proven blue, red and near-infrared wavelengths.
No downtime
Dermalux is non-invasive and comfortable, making it a useful option when the skin needs support without peeling, heat or recovery time.
Suitable for many skin goals
LED can support concerns including breakouts, dullness, visible redness, sensitivity, ageing signs and skin that needs calming after suitable treatments.
Works well with facials
Dermalux can be used alongside selected facials to support glow, comfort and recovery where appropriate.
Consistency builds results
A single treatment can give visible freshness, but the strongest results usually come from a short course and regular maintenance.
Why Guests Choose Dermalux
Dermalux is a professional LED Phototherapy treatment, not a beauty trend or a home device. It is built around selected therapeutic wavelengths, treatment consistency and visible skin support without unnecessary stress to the skin.
Clinically proven wavelengths
Dermalux uses blue, red and near-infrared wavelengths selected for different skin goals, including clarity, radiance, collagen support, calming and recovery.
No heat or trauma
LED Phototherapy is non-invasive and non-thermal. There is no peeling, abrasion, heat damage or recovery period, making it suitable when the skin needs support rather than stress.
Suitable all year round
Because Dermalux does not use UV light and does not resurface the skin, it can usually be considered throughout the year when suitable after consultation.
Tailored to the skin
Single and combined wavelength options allow treatment to be adapted to concerns such as breakouts, redness, dullness, sensitivity and visible ageing.
Supports recovery
Dermalux can be useful when skin needs calming, comfort and visible recovery support after suitable professional treatments.
Course-led results
One treatment can leave the skin looking brighter and fresher, but the strongest results usually come from a short course followed by maintenance.
How Dermalux Works
Dermalux LED uses non-UV light energy at selected wavelengths. Each wavelength has a different role, and your therapist will choose the most suitable option depending on your skin goals.
- Blue light, around 415 nm, helps target breakout-causing bacteria and supports a clearer-looking complexion.
- Red light, around 633 nm, supports collagen activity, skin vitality and a smoother, brighter-looking complexion.
- Near-infrared light, around 830 nm, penetrates more deeply to support skin recovery, calm visible inflammation and help repair processes.
- Single and combined wavelength options allow the treatment to be adapted to different skin concerns.
Best Booked as a Course
Dermalux can give the skin a visible glow after one treatment, but its real strength is consistency. For concerns such as breakouts, redness, sensitivity, dullness and visible signs of ageing, results are usually better when LED is booked as a short course rather than a one-off appointment.
We usually recommend an initial course of 8 treatments over four to five weeks, followed by monthly maintenance where appropriate. Some concerns may benefit from 8 to 12 sessions, depending on the skin and the treatment goal. Results from a course can last several months, with regular maintenance helping to extend and sustain them.

When to Add Dermalux to a Facial
Dermalux works well alongside professional facials when the skin needs extra calming, glow or recovery support. It is often a good addition for guests concerned with dullness, sensitivity, breakouts, redness or skin that looks tired and reactive.
It can also be useful when the skin needs a gentler, supportive treatment rather than something more active. Your therapist will advise whether Dermalux is suitable during your consultation.

For stronger and more consistent results, we usually recommend a course of 8 treatments over four to five weeks, with 2 to 3 sessions per week. Some skin concerns may benefit from 8 to 12 sessions. Monthly maintenance can help keep results consistent, and results from a course can last several months depending on the skin concern.

No. Dermalux does not use UV light and will not tan the skin. If you are taking photosensitising medication or have a light-sensitive condition, tell your therapist during consultation.
Is Dermalux comfortable?

How many Dermalux treatments will I need?
The number of treatments depends on your skin concern, its severity and your goals. As a general guide, a course of 8 to 12 sessions is often recommended for best results, followed by maintenance where appropriate. Your therapist will advise a plan during your consultation.
Are there any contraindications I should know about?
Dermalux has a high safety profile and is suitable for most guests. However, treatment is not recommended for guests with epilepsy or seizures triggered by light, active cancer, certain autoimmune conditions such as lupus, or those currently undergoing cancer treatment. Guests with eye conditions including glaucoma, cataracts, age-related macular degeneration or who have had recent laser eye surgery may require sign-off from their eye specialist before treatment. If you are taking medications that increase sensitivity to light, please tell your therapist before booking. We conduct a full consultation before your first session and will advise if any factor affects your suitability.
How should I prepare for my Dermalux appointment?
Arrive with clean skin — no makeup, moisturiser or oils. Avoid retinol, AHAs, BHAs and other highly active skincare ingredients in the 24 hours before your treatment. Let your therapist know about any medications you are taking or any skin conditions you have. Avoid excessive sun exposure in the seven days before your session.
What should I do after my Dermalux treatment?
You can usually return to normal activities straight away. We recommend keeping skincare simple for the rest of the day, using hydrating products and SPF, and avoiding high-strength active ingredients until the following day. Any mild warmth or flush in the skin will usually settle within one to two hours.
