Tailored Solutions for Beautiful Skin
At Skin Revival Specialist, we provide cutting-edge skin treatments to address various skin concerns. Our tailored approach focuses on enhancing skin health and delivering personalised care to every client.
Whether you’re new to LED therapy or considering it as part of your skin maintenance routine, understanding how to prepare for and sustain the results of your Dermalux treatment is crucial. While the therapy itself is gentle, safe, and highly effective, the results are significantly enhanced when supported by good skincare habits and professional guidance.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about preparing for your treatment, optimising your sessions, and maintaining your skin long after the glow has set in.
What to Expect from Your First Dermalux Session
Many clients are pleasantly surprised by how relaxing and effortless a Dermalux session is. The treatment is completely non-invasive—there are no needles, no pain, and no downtime. You’ll simply lie comfortably as the LED panel is positioned over your face or treatment area. The lights emit a gentle warmth and you may feel calm, even sleepy, during the session.
A single treatment typically lasts around 20–30 minutes, but the skin benefits continue to work for days afterward as cellular activity increases. For best results, a course of treatments is often recommended—anywhere from 6 to 12 sessions depending on your skin goals.
Pre-Treatment Checklist: How to Get the Most Out of Dermalux
1. Avoid Retinols and Harsh Exfoliants
To prevent sensitivity, avoid using any retinol products, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or strong exfoliants at least 48 hours prior to your Dermalux session.
2. Arrive with Clean Skin
Come to your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin. This allows maximum light penetration and ensures no barrier between your skin and the LED therapy.
3. Stay Hydrated
Drinking water helps your cells respond better to the phototherapy. Proper hydration supports the skin’s natural healing process, which is amplified during LED treatment.
4. Disclose Any Medications or Skin Conditions
Be sure to inform your specialist of any medications you are taking or underlying skin conditions. Some medications (like those that increase photosensitivity) may influence how your skin reacts to LED therapy.
Combining Dermalux with Other Treatments
One of the unique benefits of Dermalux is how well it integrates with other skincare treatments. At Skin Revival Specialist, we often combine LED phototherapy with:
-
Chemical peels – to soothe post-peel redness
-
Microneedling – to enhance healing and collagen stimulation
-
Facials – to increase absorption of actives and reduce inflammation
-
Acne treatments – to target bacteria and calm breakouts
Combining treatments ensures a multi-faceted approach that accelerates results while minimising discomfort or downtime.
Post-Treatment Aftercare: What to Do (and Not Do)
DO:
-
Apply a gentle moisturiser – After your session, use a calming product to lock in hydration and comfort. Our specialists will recommend the right post-treatment product.
-
Use sunscreen daily – Your skin will be more active and responsive post-treatment, so daily SPF 30+ is essential to prevent damage or pigmentation.
-
Stay hydrated – As with preparation, water supports your skin’s ongoing recovery and glow.
DON’T:
-
Expose your skin to direct sun immediately after – Avoid extended sun exposure for at least 24 hours following treatment.
-
Apply actives too soon – Hold off on retinols, AHAs, or other actives for 1–2 days to prevent overstimulation.
-
Touch or pick at your skin – Even though Dermalux is non-invasive, your skin may be more reactive for a short period.
How Often Should You Have Dermalux?
For optimal results, consistency is key. While a single Dermalux session can offer visible benefits like a refreshed glow and reduced inflammation, deeper results come from repeated treatments.
Typical treatment plans include:
-
2–3 sessions per week for 4–6 weeks (for acne, rosacea, or skin rejuvenation)
-
1 session per week for general maintenance
-
Monthly sessions to keep the skin healthy, hydrated, and youthful
Your exact frequency will depend on your skin goals and condition, which we assess during your initial consultation.
The Long-Term Benefits of Dermalux
Clients who use Dermalux as part of their long-term skin plan enjoy cumulative benefits, such as:
-
Sustained collagen and elastin production
-
Better skin hydration and barrier repair
-
Reduced frequency of breakouts or flare-ups
-
Less visible signs of ageing and pigmentation
-
Overall healthier, more resilient skin
Think of Dermalux as a regular workout for your skin—each session builds on the last, and the results compound over time.
Maintenance Between Treatments
Your skin doesn’t just need help during your appointments—it requires support every day. Here’s how to maintain your results:
-
Use a gentle, non-stripping cleanser to keep skin balanced
-
Incorporate antioxidant serums (like vitamin C) to boost brightness
-
Avoid overloading with actives; focus on hydration and barrier repair
-
Book top-up sessions every 4–6 weeks to maintain momentum
Our specialists at Skin Revival Specialist will design a homecare routine tailored to your skin’s needs, maximising the results of your Dermalux sessions.
