Dermalux LED Light Therapy in Cardiff
At Beauty Advance, our LED light therapy in Cardiff uses Dermalux, voted Treatment of the Year for five consecutive years at the UK Aesthetic Awards.
LED light therapy helps calm the skin, clear breakouts and support healing. It also boosts the results of other treatments as part of a wider skin plan. You can book it as a standalone session or add it after any face or body treatment to calm and nourish your skin.
Book your Dermalux LED light therapy in Cardiff from £65 per session, with no downtime.
How Does LED Light Therapy Work?
Dermalux uses blue, red and near-infrared light, which reach different depths in the skin. Blue light targets acne-causing bacteria. Red light supports collagen and evens skin tone. Near-infrared goes deepest to help the skin heal and recover. There is no UV light, so it will not tan your skin.
What to Expect
You relax while the Dermalux device sits over your face or body. Sessions take 20 to 30 minutes and feel gently warm, with no pain and no preparation needed. There is no downtime, so you can go straight back to your day. Your skin will feel calm and refreshed. Sensitive skin may show mild warmth or redness for a short time.
Your LED Light Therapy Course
A single session can give a visible boost to skin clarity and tone. For longer-lasting results, we recommend a course of 6 to 10 sessions. These are usually booked two to three times a week, then once a month for maintenance. Results build as your skin becomes calmer and more balanced. LED therapy is often paired with Mesotherapy to support your skin over time. It is also used between pigmentation removal sessions to calm the skin and help it heal.
Beauty Advance has both the Dermalux Compact and the Dermalux Flex. The Compact is our more powerful clinic device, so you may need fewer sessions for the same results. Want to keep your course going at home? You can rent the Flex by the week and use it between clinic visits.
What Each LED Light Colour Treats
Blue light targets acne-causing bacteria on the skin’s surface. It is a gentle, non-invasive option for active breakouts and congestion.
Red light supports overall skin health. It helps boost collagen, even out skin tone and calm stressed skin.
Near-infrared light reaches the deepest of the three. It helps the skin heal and recover and can ease muscle aches after more intensive treatments.
Your practitioner may use one light or a mix and will adjust this each session based on how your skin responds.
Is LED Light Therapy Right for You
Dermalux LED light therapy suits all skin types and tones, including sensitive skin, and can be used all year round. It is a good choice if you have acne, rosacea, fine lines, or dull or dehydrated skin. It also helps with recovery after other treatments and with muscle aches.
LED therapy does not use UV light and is fully non-invasive. It is not a treatment for skin cancer. If you notice any changes to your skin or have a mole or mark that worries you, see your GP before booking. We carry out a full skin assessment before your first session.
For the body, you can pair LED light therapy with Emsculpt to help treated areas recover between sessions. For facial lifting, it can be combined with the Emface treatment, which targets the muscles beneath the skin for more defined results.

LED Light Therapy FAQs
What does Dermalux LED light therapy treat?
LED light therapy helps with acne, redness, and dull or dehydrated skin. It also helps the skin recover after other treatments. You can use it to prepare your skin before a course or to keep your results going after. Your practitioner will choose the right light, or mix of lights, at your consultation.
How many sessions will I need?
You may see a brighter, more even tone after one session. For lasting results, we recommend 6 to 10 sessions, usually two to three times a week, followed by monthly maintenance. Because we use the more powerful Dermalux Compact, you may need fewer sessions to reach your goals.

Can I use Dermalux at home?
Yes. We offer a weekly rental of the Dermalux Flex, so you can keep your course going between clinic visits. Ask your practitioner if home sessions suit your skin plan.
Can Dermalux be added to another treatment?

Does LED light therapy help with psoriasis or eczema?
It may help calm redness and support healing in some people with psoriasis or eczema. Results vary from person to person. It should be used alongside your medical care, not instead of it. Always follow the advice of your GP or dermatologist.
