Why Medical-Grade Dermalux LED Far Outperforms At Home LED Masks
LED light therapy is one of the most evidence-based technologies in modern aesthetics. While at-home LED masks have grown in popularity, they are not comparable to medical-grade systems such as Dermalux. Understanding the difference is essential when choosing treatments that deliver real, visible skin results.

The Key Difference: Power, Precision, and Clinical Results
LED therapy is only effective when the correct wavelength is delivered at the right power and depth. This is where at-home devices fall short and Dermalux excels.
At-home LED masks are deliberately manufactured with very low energy output to comply with consumer safety regulations. While this makes them safe for unsupervised use, it also significantly limits their effectiveness.
Dermalux, on the other hand, is a medical-grade system used by dermatologists, doctors, and advanced aesthetic clinics worldwide. It delivers clinically proven wavelengths at therapeutic doses that create genuine cellular change.
Why Dermalux Is Superior to At Home LED Masks
Significantly Higher Power Output
Dermalux delivers up to 4–5 times more energy than typical at-home LED masks. This increased power allows the light to penetrate deeper into the skin, reaching the cells responsible for collagen production, inflammation control, and healing.
At-home masks simply cannot achieve this level of penetration meaning results are minimal and often limited to surface improvement.
Clinically Proven Wavelengths at Therapeutic Doses
Dermalux uses precisely calibrated wavelengths, including:
Blue (415nm) – targets acne-causing bacteria
Red (633nm) – stimulates collagen, elastin, and skin renewal
Near-Infrared (830nm) – penetrates deeply to reduce inflammation and accelerate healing
At-home devices may offer similar colours, but colour does not equal effectiveness. Without the correct intensity and dosage, the biological response in the skin is significantly reduced.
Faster, Visible, Long-Lasting Results
Because Dermalux works at a true therapeutic level, clients typically see:
Clearer skin
Reduced inflammation
Improved tone and texture
Faster post-treatment healing
These results are often noticeable within a short course of treatments, rather than months of daily use required with home devices if results appear at all.
Professional-Led, Customised Treatments
Dermalux treatments are delivered by trained professionals who select the correct wavelengths, exposure time, and treatment frequency based on your skin concerns.
At-home masks are generic, one-size-fits-all devices with no professional oversight, increasing the risk of ineffective or inconsistent results.
Safe to Use With Advanced Aesthetic Treatments
Dermalux is widely used before and after professional treatments, including:
Microneedling
Chemical peels
Injectables
Laser and energy-based devices
It enhances results, reduces downtime, and supports optimal healing something at-home LED masks are not designed or powerful enough to do safely or effectively.
At-Home LED Masks: Where They Fit (and Where They Don’t)
At-home LED masks are best suited for:
Maintenance between professional treatments
Clients with minimal skin concerns
Supporting results not creating them
They should never be viewed as an alternative to medical grade LED therapy.
Dermalux vs At Home LED Masks: A Clear Comparison
Feature | At-Home LED Mask | Dermalux Medical-Grade LED |
Power Output | Very low | High, therapeutic |
Skin Penetration | Superficial | Deep dermal |
Clinical Evidence | Limited | Extensive |
Results | Subtle, slow | Visible, clinically proven |
Treatment Customisation | None | Fully tailored |
Professional Supervision | No | Yes |
Post-Procedure Use | Not suitable | Gold standard |

The Bottom Line
At-home LED masks may look impressive, but they simply do not deliver LED therapy at a level that creates meaningful skin change.
Dermalux is in a completely different category medical grade, clinically proven, and results-driven. If you are serious about improving acne, signs of ageing, inflammation, or skin recovery, Dermalux is the clear choice.
