LED Light Therapy Fitzroy

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

MediLUX treatments are safe, comfortable and suitable for all skin types. During consultation, your therapist will discuss a treatment plan tailored to your individual skin concerns. 

What does LED Light therapy (photorejuvenation) do?

 It visibly decreases acne, age spots, blemishes, coarse skin, a dull complexion, enlarged pores, fine lines, perinocular wrinkles, rosacea and skin laxity.

What is the difference between Red Light LED and Near-Infrared LED? 

Red light targets the dermal layers, providing excellent results in collagen and elastin synthesis. Near-infrared light is able to penetrate even deeper in the dermis — reaching the subcutaneous layer of the skin and muscle to enable deep tissue repair and cellular regeneration. 

Can MediLUX LED treatments be combined with other aesthetic treatments? 

MediLUX treatments are restorative by nature and will optimise results when paired with other skincare-based and technology-enhanced treatments.

How does the treatment work?

 You’ll visit a trained skin care professional who follows precise treatment plans. Herein specific lights will cover the skin areas that are being treated. This will make your face feel warm and relaxed. Between four and six treatments, each one week apart, are necessary.

LED treatments with MediLUX utilise 1,500 powerful light emitting diodes ranging from blue to green, yellow, red and near-infrared. Each light wavelength targets different specific skin concerns, and treatment is commonly used to address acne congestion, facial redness, pigmentation, uneven tone, neck lines, wrinkles and signs of ageing. 

Blue Light (415nm) 

 Reduces sebaceous actvity and acne vulgaris. Works to clear congestion and kills acne-causing bacteria. 

Green Light (520nm) 

 Assists with skin tone correction and aids detoxication to reduce redness and irritation for a balanced, calm complexion. 

Yellow Light (590nm) 

 Stimulates collagen production and assists wound repair to naturally heal and regenerate skin from within. Beneficial for rosacea and post-laser treatments. 

Red Light (633nm) 

 Increases blood circulation and lymphatic ow to encourage cellular renewal and promote a youthful complexion. 

Near-Infrared Light (830nm) 

 Increases white blood cell production to regenerate, rejuvenate, tighten and repair inflamed and ageing skin. Works to boost ATP for deep cellular regeneration and wound healing.

What side effects will you experience?

 There aren’t any side effects. This is a completely safe treatment that’s FDA approved. However, you do need to be cautious when you use any other treatments or products along with photo rejuvenation. Furthermore, if you’re taking steroid or cortisone injections, are pregnant or have epilepsy, you’ll need to talk to your doctor before using light therapy.

Are maintenance treatments necessary?

 Yes, maintenance treatments are an important part of preserving visible results. Typically, they’re done once or twice a month unless your situation requires otherwise.

How soon are results visible?

 Your skin will look different after the very first treatment. It will be smoother, better hydrated and have a naturally radiant glow. Between three to five treatments will be needed for you to see long lasting results on those areas that are being treated. Of course, the condition’s severity and your own, personal skin type will help determine just how long results will take.

How long will results last?

 Maintenance treatments and a good, home skin care routine are necessary if you want your results to last.

Is LED therapy right for everyone?

 Almost everyone benefits from light therapy. However, those who have a slow metabolism or sluggish cellular activity will have the greatest results.

Does this treatment complement other skin care regimens?

 While other treatments beautify the surface of your skin, light therapy strengthens and rejuvenates your tissue from the inside out. When these regiments are combined, you’ll get great results on both the inside and the outside too.

Can I immediately reapply my makeup?

 Yes, there’s no downtime. However, if you’re combining other treatments, then you’ll need to heed their advice.

Can I go into the sun? Will I lose my tan?

 You can go into the sun immediately. Light therapy won’t affect your tan, but you should be using SPF sunscreen.

Can I also have tretinoin, retinoic acid or Accutane treatments at the same time?

 Yes, because LED Therapy has a calming effect on your skin, it won’t react to either of these acne treatments.

Is light therapy abrasive or painful? What does it feel like?

 These treatments are gentle, painless and safe because they’re non-abrasive and non-invasive too. In fact, a lot of people not only find it easy to have done but also relaxing too.

Can I have Microdermabrasion at the same time I’m having light therapy?

 Light therapy will calm Microdermabrasion’s after effects. This is the same with chemical peels. So, yes you can undergo either of these while having light therapy treatments.

Will my skin feel any different?

 LED Therapy will make your skin will feel livelier, plumper and tighter.
