what does red light therapy do?
Red light therapy works by giving your skin cells an energy boost, helping them to function at their very best. When your skin is exposed to the specific wavelengths of the Dermalux Flex, your cells create more ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the fuel they need to repair, renew, and stay healthy. You can think of it as charging up your skin’s batteries.
This extra energy has a powerful ripple effect. It encourages collagen and elastin production, reduces inflammation, and accelerates healing. That’s why Dermalux is so effective at improving acne, calming facial redness, and softening signs of ageing. And it doesn’t just temporarily mask the symptoms either. It helps your skin work smarter from the inside out.
The Dermalux Flex has three settings, each with a targeted benefit. Blue light tackles acne by neutralising the bacteria that cause breakouts. Red light energises your cells, stimulates collagen, and reduces fine lines and inflammation. Near-infrared light penetrates deeper to promote tissue repair and soothe irritation.
Our patients love Dermalux because the results are both instant and long-lasting. You’ll notice a natural glow straight after treatment. If you continue with regular sessions, expect deeper, more transformative changes in your skin’s health and appearance.

PROVEN RESULTS

is red light therapy safe?
When performed with a medical-grade device like the Dermalux, red light therapy is completely safe. It’s non-invasive, doesn’t damage the skin, and has been clinically proven to deliver incredible results without any pain or downtime. Unlike more intense treatments like laser skin resurfacing or microneedling, Dermalux works by gently energising your cells, encouraging them to repair and renew naturally.
Because the device is medically CE-certified, you can rest assured in both its effectiveness and safety profile. The other great thing about the Dermalux is it’s suitable for all skin types and tones, meaning absolutely everyone can experience its transformative benefits.
There are a few cases where we wouldn’t recommend red light therapy, such as during pregnancy, with certain medications, or if you have active skin cancer. But don’t worry. We’ll go through all of this during your first appointment to make sure Dermalux is the right treatment for you.

FAQ
What is Dermalux?
Dermalux is the brand name for a range of award-winning LED light therapy systems. These devices use clinically proven technologies that calm inflammation and redness, boost collagen, and accelerate skin healing. Here at Smileworks we use the Dermalux Flex, which is considered the most powerful LED device not just in the UK, but in the entire world. It’s medically CE-certified, so you can trust it’s both safe and effective.
Does red light therapy work?
Yes! We wouldn’t offer Dermalux if we didn’t think it worked. Red light therapy is backed by solid science. It works by stimulating your cells to produce more energy, which in turn encourages collagen production, calms inflammation, and helps your skin look fresher and healthier. Most people notice a visible glow after a couple of sessions, with full results building over time.
Do at home red light therapy devices work?
They can help a little, but they’re nowhere near as powerful as professional systems like Dermalux. Home devices are usually lower powered, so it takes longer to see changes and may not tackle deeper concerns like acne, rosacea, or melasma. The Dermalux Flex delivers three times the power of most at-home LEDs, which is exactly why we’ve chosen to use it in our practice.
Who should not use red light therapy?
The great thing about Dermalux is it’s safe for almost everyone. Key word being almost. If you are pregnant, take certain medications that make your skin light-sensitive, or have an active skin cancer diagnosis. Don't worry, though. We’ll go through your medical history at your first appointment to make sure it’s right for you.
How often can you use the Dermalux Flex?
If you’re looking to treat an active skin condition like acne or rosacea, you might benefit from 2-3 sessions a week to kick-start your results. Once your skin is back to looking and feeling great, you can switch to maintenance treatments every month or so. Because Dermalux is gentle and non-invasive, there’s no downtime. You can even pop-in during your lunch break for a quick 30min appointment!
Is Dermalux worth it?
In our opinion, yes, Dermalux is very much worth it. It’s not your average LED light device. It’s a medical-grade treatment with hundreds of clinical studies behind it. Dermalux works. Period. Patients love it because it improves acne, redness, psoriasis, and signs of ageing, all while giving the skin that healthy ‘lit-from-within’ look. It’s why we’ve started including it with so many of our other skin treatments like microneedling, chemical peels, and facials.
What is the most effective light therapy device?
That would be the Dermalux Flex.. Independent testing has shown it’s the most powerful portable system available, delivering precise and powerful red, blue, and near-infrared light at the exact wavelengths your skin needs. We wouldn’t invest in just any LED light device. We want the very best for patients like you.
What is the aftercare for Dermalux LED?
The great thing about Dermalux is there’s no downtime at all. You can go straight back to your day afterwards. We just recommend avoiding strong sun exposure right afterwards. Be sure to keep your skin hydrated and always wear a good SPF daily to protect your results.
How long does it take to see results?
Everyone’s skin is different, but most patients can expect an instant post-treatment glow. For things like acne, redness, or fine lines, the best results usually show after 4-6 weeks of treatments two or three times a week.
Can Dermalux be combined with other treatments?
Yes, and it’s our favourite thing to do! We recently started including Dermalux with all of our microneedling, chemical peel, and facial treatments. It boosts the great results these treatments give you and helps it last even longer.
Is it safe for sensitive skin or darker skin tones?
Absolutely. Dermalux is completely non-invasive and suitable for every skin type, including sensitive or redness-prone skin. That’s why it’s loved by expert dermatologists and skin professionals all over the world. It’s the treatment that works for absolutely everyone.
