Professional LED Light Therapy v At-Home Masks
Why Professional Phototherapy Delivers Superior Results at True Medispa
When it comes to skincare, LED light therapy has gained immense popularity for its ability to rejuvenate the skin, combat signs of ageing, and address common concerns like acne and pigmentation. With the rise of at-home LED masks, many people wonder whether they can achieve the same benefits as professional LED light therapy.
At True Medispa in Twickenham, we use Dermalux® LED Phototherapy, a clinically proven system that delivers unparalleled skin-enhancing results. Now find out why professional LED treatments are far superior to at-home masks...
The Power of Professional LED Light Therapy
Our Twickenham aesthetics clinic offers Dermalux LED Phototherapy, an advanced treatment that harnesses the power of clinically proven wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular processes deep within the skin. This treatment is non-invasive, painless, and suitable for all skin types.
Dermalux technology offers three targeted light wavelengths:
Red Light (Rejuvenation) – Stimulates collagen production, reduces wrinkles, and enhances skin radiance.
Blue Light (Anti-Bacterial) – Kills acne-causing bacteria, calms inflammation, and prevents breakouts.
Near-Infrared Light (Healing & Repair) – Accelerates skin recovery, reduces redness, and soothes sensitivity.
Unlike at-home LED masks, Dermalux devices are medical-grade and clinically tested, ensuring optimal results in fewer sessions. One session can instantly boost skin hydration, reduce redness, and leave you with a noticeable glow.
Why At-Home LED Masks Fall Short
At-home LED masks may seem like a convenient and cost-effective alternative, but they lack the power, precision, and proven efficacy of professional LED phototherapy. Here’s why they don’t measure up:
Lower Light Intensity – Most at-home LED masks use much lower light intensity compared to professional systems. This means they struggle to penetrate deep enough into the skin to stimulate significant cellular activity, leading to minimal results.
Limited Wavelengths – Many at-home devices do not offer all three clinically effective wavelengths. Some only provide red or blue light, limiting their effectiveness for treating multiple skin concerns simultaneously.
Uneven Coverage – At-home LED masks may not fit all face shapes perfectly, leading to uneven light exposure. This can result in inconsistent results, with some areas receiving less benefit than others.
Longer Treatment Times – Due to their lower power output, at-home masks require frequent and prolonged use to see any noticeable improvements, whereas professional Dermalux treatments deliver visible results in just one session.
Lack of Professional Supervision – A key advantage of professional treatments is the expert assessment you receive. At True Medispa, we tailor LED light therapy to your skin type and concerns, ensuring maximum effectiveness and safety. At-home masks lack this personalised approach, which may lead to ineffective or even counterproductive results.
Which Treatment Is Right For Me?
Skin Rejuvenation

Red LED light is a promising treatment for ageing skin as it increases the production of fibroblasts which promotes new collagen and elastin. This helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
Acne or Rosacea

The benefits of LED phototherapy include lowering inflammation, accelerating the skin's wound-healing process, and strengthening the skin barrier. Together, these help reduce rosacea symptoms & improve acne.
Combination Skin

A detailed skin consultation will help us to work out which LED phototherapy light is right for your needs, especially important if you have combination skin which may be oily in areas, and greasy in others.
Skin Pigmentation

Green light might be the answer if you have skin pigmentation due to ageing, sun damage or environmental factors. The right LED light can reduce melanin production and enhance skin clarity and radiance.
