Medical-Grade LED Light Therapy, Personalised to Your Skin
YOUR SKIN DOES NOT NEED EVERY TREATMENT. IT NEEDS THE RIGHT TREATMENT FOR WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO IMPROVE.
At The Dentists of Didsbury, our MediLUX LED Light Therapy treatments use five targeted wavelengths of professional LED light, allowing us to tailor each session around your individual skin concerns.
​
​Whether your goal is to support clearer-looking skin, calm visible redness, improve uneven tone, refresh dull-looking skin or support the appearance of firmer, healthier-looking skin, your treatment begins by understanding what your skin actually needs.
What Is LED Light Therapy?
LED STANDS FOR LIGHT EMITTING DIODE
Professional LED light therapy exposes the skin to carefully selected wavelengths of visible and near-infrared light.
​
Different wavelengths penetrate and interact with the skin differently, which is why LED treatment should not simply be thought of as sitting underneath a coloured light. The wavelength, intensity, treatment time and reason for using it all matter.
​
Our MediLUX system gives us access to five wavelengths:
-
Blue — 415nm
-
Green — 520nm
-
Yellow — 590nm
-
Red — 633nm
-
Near-Infrared — 830nm
​
​This allows your practitioner to select a protocol based on your skin rather than using the same setting for every patient.
One LED Machine. Five Different Wavelengths.
YOUR SKIN CONCERN DETERMINES THE LIGHT WE USE
Blue LED — 415nm
Blue light may be incorporated into programmes for blemish-prone, congested or oily-looking skin. Rather than treating every breakout in the same way, we first consider your skin history, current products and whether LED is an appropriate part of your wider skin plan.
​
Ideal conversation for:
Congestion • Blemish-prone skin • Oily skin concerns
​
Red Light Therapy — 633nm
Red LED is one of the most recognised wavelengths in professional light therapy. It is commonly incorporated into age-management and skin-rejuvenation programmes designed to support skin renewal, circulation and collagen-related skin quality. For patients searching for red light therapy in Manchester, your treatment does not have to rely on red light alone. MediLUX allows us to personalise the wavelength or combination of wavelengths according to your skin goals.
​
Ideal conversation for:
Fine-line appearance • Loss of radiance • Skin texture • Age-management programmes
Green LED — 520nm
Green light may be selected when the goal is to support calmer-looking skin and a more balanced complexion. It can be incorporated into personalised protocols where visible redness, sensitivity or uneven-looking tone are part of the concern.
​
Ideal conversation for:
Visible redness • Reactive-looking skin • Uneven complexion
​​
Near-Infrared LED — 830nm
Near-infrared light is invisible to the human eye and penetrates more deeply than visible red light. Within MediLUX protocols, it is used to support cellular energy, skin recovery and repair processes and may be incorporated following selected professional skin treatments.
​
Ideal conversation for:
Skin recovery • Post-treatment support • Age-management programmes
​
​
​
​
Yellow LED — 590nm
Yellow light is used within MediLUX skin-support and recovery protocols. It may be considered when the aim is to help skin look calmer, more hydrated and refreshed, particularly as part of a wider professional treatment plan.
​
Ideal conversation for:
Dull-looking skin • Visible redness • Post-treatment skin support
​​
​
Red Light Therapy and LED Light Therapy Are Not Exactly the Same Thing
You may have searched for red light therapy near me and wondered whether it is the same as LED treatment.
​
Red light therapy describes treatment using specific wavelengths in the red-light spectrum. LED light therapy is broader.
​
With MediLUX, red 633nm is only one of five available wavelengths. That matters because your skin concern may benefit from a different wavelength—or a carefully selected combination—rather than simply choosing red light because it is currently popular.
THE TREATMENT SHOULD FOLLOW THE SKIN ASSESSMENT, NOT THE TREND.
Why We Chose MediLUX
Not all LED systems deliver the same wavelengths, intensity or treatment flexibility. Our clinic uses the professional MediLUX LED system, developed for clinical and professional aesthetic environments.
Five Targeted Wavelengths
415nm • 520nm • 590nm • 633nm • 830nm. This gives us significantly more flexibility than a single-colour treatment.
Professional Treatment Protocols
MediLUX includes professionally developed treatment protocols while also allowing practitioners to customise treatment according to individual skin requirements.
Powerful Professional Light Delivery
The system is designed to deliver controlled light energy at specific wavelengths rather than relying on the lower-intensity, one-size-fits-all approach commonly associated with consumer LED masks.
Flexible Treatment Coverage
The adjustable treatment panel allows coverage across areas including the face, neck, décolletage, selected body areas and scalp where LED forms part of an appropriate hair-support programme.
ARTG Listed
MediLUX is included on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods under ARTG No. 317123.
What Can MediLUX LED Light Therapy Be Used For?
Your practitioner may discuss MediLUX when your goals include improving the appearance of:
Blemish-Prone & Congested Skin:
Supporting a clearer, more balanced-looking complexion as part of an appropriate skin-care programme.
Visible Redness:
Selected LED wavelengths may be incorporated where the goal is calmer, less reactive-looking skin.
Uneven Skin Tone:
LED can form part of a wider treatment programme designed to improve overall skin balance, clarity and radiance.
Fine Lines & Early Signs of Skin Ageing:
Red and near-infrared LED may be incorporated into age-management programmes designed to support skin renewal and collagen-related skin quality.
Dull or Tired-Looking Skin:
For patients who want their skin to look fresher and more radiant without an invasive procedure.
Skin Recovery:
LED can also be considered alongside selected professional skin procedures as part of a personalised recovery plan.
What Happens During Your MediLUX LED Appointment?
01
We Start With Your Skin
Before selecting a wavelength, we want to understand what you would like to improve, your current skincare routine, relevant skin history, previous treatments, medication or health factors where relevant, and whether there are any reasons LED treatment may not be appropriate. Because choosing the light should come after understanding the skin.
02
Your Skin Is Prepared
The treatment area is prepared so that the LED light can be delivered according to the planned protocol. Your practitioner will explain whether any products need to be removed or avoided before your appointment.
​
​
​
03
We Select Your LED Protocol
Your practitioner selects the wavelength or wavelength combination appropriate to your treatment goal. MediLUX provides five available wavelengths, allowing the treatment to be considerably more personalised than simply choosing between “red” or “blue”.
​
​
04
Relax Under the MediLUX LED
MediLUX includes professional protocols with approximately 20 minutes of LED exposure. There are no injections involved in a standalone LED session. Many patients use the treatment time simply to relax while the device delivers the selected light protocol.
05
Your Next Step Is Personalised
One LED session can be used as an individual skin-refresh treatment, while some concerns are better approached as part of a planned course. We will explain what makes sense for your skin rather than automatically selling the same package to everyone.
Why One Session Is Not Always the Same as a Treatment Programme
LED light therapy is often marketed as though one session will transform the skin. Skin biology is more gradual than that.
​
​For some patients, LED is used as an occasional skin-support treatment. For others, a structured course may be more appropriate. And for some patients, LED works best as one part of a wider skin plan rather than as a standalone treatment.
​
Your recommendation will depend on:
-
Your starting skin condition
-
What you are hoping to improve
-
The wavelength selected
-
Other treatments or skincare you use
-
How your skin responds over time
​
We would rather explain the reason for the recommendation than simply sell you a number of sessions.

LED Light Therapy Can Also Complement Other Treatments
One of the advantages of professional LED therapy is that it can be incorporated into wider skin and aesthetic treatment programmes. Where appropriate, MediLUX may be considered alongside treatments such as:
Professional Skincare Programmes
LED can complement a personalised skincare routine where the aim is to support healthier-looking skin over time.
​
Selected Skin Treatments
Your practitioner may recommend LED as part of a wider treatment or recovery programme following certain professional skin procedures.
​
PRP Hair Treatment
Our MediLUX device can also be incorporated into selected PRP hair-support programmes, where red and near-infrared light may form part of a wider personalised plan.
Professional LED vs an At-Home LED Mask
Home LED masks have become increasingly popular. So why choose an in-clinic treatment? The difference is not simply whether the lights are red or blue.
-
The Wavelength
Specific wavelengths are selected rather than relying on colour alone. -
The Treatment Protocol
Treatment duration and light delivery are controlled according to the professional system being used. -
Your Skin
A practitioner can consider your skin concern, current routine and suitability before choosing the protocol. -
Five Wavelength Options
MediLUX gives us access to blue, green, yellow, red and near-infrared light rather than relying on a single fixed treatment. -
Integration With Your Wider Skin Plan
We can decide whether LED is useful alone, as a course, or alongside another professional treatment.
More technology is not automatically better. Better treatment comes from using the right technology for the right reason.
Is LED Light Therapy Suitable for Me?
MediLUX LED may be suitable for a wide range of patients and skin goals, but suitability should still be assessed individually.
​
Before treatment, please tell your practitioner about:
-
Medical conditions
-
Current medication
-
Photosensitising medication or products
-
Previous reactions to light-based treatments
-
Recent skin procedures
-
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
-
Any active or unexplained skin problem
If something requires medical assessment rather than a cosmetic treatment, we will tell you.
​
Sometimes the right recommendation is not LED.
That is part of responsible treatment planning.
Why Choose The Dentists of Didsbury for LED Light Therapy?
Skin First. Technology Second.
We do not start by deciding which machine you need. We start by understanding what you want to improve.
​
Clear Explanations Before Treatment
We explain what the treatment is designed to do, what it cannot promise, and what a realistic plan may look like.
​
Advanced Five-Wavelength MediLUX Technology
Our MediLUX system gives us five targeted wavelengths, allowing greater flexibility when creating your treatment protocol.
​
Part of a Wider Skin & Wellness Clinic
Where appropriate, LED can be incorporated alongside our professional skincare, aesthetic and PRP hair services rather than being considered in isolation.
​Personalised Rather Than Pre-Packaged
The same LED setting does not belong in every skin plan. Your wavelength, treatment frequency and wider recommendations are based on your individual goals.
