Award-winning three-wavelength LED therapy used to calm inflammation, support collagen and speed recovery after other treatments, with no needles and no downtime.
Dermalux Tri-Wave MD is a multi-award-winning LED light therapy device used to support overall skin health, calm inflammation and encourage the skin’s natural repair processes. Dr Ellie Sateei offers Dermalux treatment at her London and Sevenoaks clinics using both the Tri-Wave MD and Flex MD systems, as a gentle, well-tolerated option suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns.
The Flex MD system offers the same three-wavelength technology in a more flexible, adjustable panel, allowing treatment to be angled closely to the face, neck or body area being treated. Because it involves no needles, heat or downtime, Dermalux is often used both as a standalone treatment and alongside other in-clinic procedures to support recovery and results.
Dermalux Tri-Wave MD uses three different wavelengths of light, typically red, blue and near-infrared, delivered through a specialised LED panel. Each wavelength interacts with the skin differently. Red light is associated with supporting collagen production and overall rejuvenation, blue light is associated with calming and clarifying effects, and near-infrared light penetrates more deeply to support tissue repair.
The technology is non-invasive and has been researched extensively in both medical and aesthetic settings for its supportive role in skin health.
Dermalux is commonly used to support overall skin radiance, calm inflammation and redness, and aid recovery following other treatments such as microneedling or peels. It is often incorporated into facials to enhance the overall result.
Because it is gentle and non-invasive, Dermalux is suitable for a wide range of skin concerns and types, including sensitive or reactive skin, when used as part of an appropriately tailored plan.
Treatment involves sitting or lying comfortably beneath the LED panel for a set period, typically around twenty minutes. There is no discomfort associated with the treatment, and most patients describe it as a relaxing experience with a gentle warmth from the light itself.
There is no downtime at all, and patients can return to normal activities immediately. A course of regular sessions is often recommended to build and maintain results, particularly when used to support overall skin health rather than recovery from another procedure.
Dr Sateei incorporates Dermalux into treatment plans where it is genuinely likely to support your skin’s needs, drawing on her more than twenty years of experience in dermatology and aesthetics to judge how and when it is best used. It reflects her broader preference for supportive, evidence-based technologies alongside more targeted treatments.
Every plan is tailored to your skin type and goals following a proper consultation, at both her London clinic near Harley Street and her Sevenoaks clinic in Kent.
