Dermalux LED Phototherapy at Butterfly You Beauty

Are you ready to experience a revolutionary treatment to help transform your skin? We're thrilled to announce the arrival of Dermalux LED phototherapy, a world-leading innovation in skincare, exclusively available at Butterfly You Beauty.

What is Dermalux LED Phototherapy?

Dermalux is a multi-award-winning, world-leading British brand specialising in professional LED Phototherapy. 

LED Phototherapy uses specific therapeutic light wavelengths to energise your skin cells and accelerate your natural regeneration and repair processes. 

Dermalux has developed next-generation technology that surpasses anything else on the market. It is non-invasive, safe, effective, and perfect if you’re seeking a natural way to achieve your skincare goals - whether you want to fight the signs of ageing, reduce acne or psoriasis, or relieve pain and redness.

How does LED Phototherapy work?

Dermalux utilises clinically proven light wavelengths to trigger the skin’s natural repair processes without pain or downtime.

LED Phototherapy uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to stimulate cellular activity and promote skin rejuvenation. Different wavelengths of light, typically red, blue, and near-infrared, are utilised to target specific skin concerns.

• Red light stimulates collagen production, reduces inflammation, and promotes overall skin health.

• Blue light effectively treats acne by targeting the bacteria responsible for breakouts.

• Near-infrared light penetrates deeper into the skin, promoting healing and enhancing cellular regeneration.

The benefits of LED 

LED Phototherapy is known for its safety, minimal side effects, and versatility in addressing various skin conditions. It is commonly used in dermatology and aesthetic settings for its ability to improve the appearance of the skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and treat conditions such as acne and hyperpigmentation.

The light triggers a whole cascade of cell-activating processes with benefits continuing even after the treatment has finished. Here are the top seven benefits you will expect to see.

Reduce fine lines and wrinkles

Red LED light stimulates the production of collagen, a crucial protein that contributes to skin elasticity and firmness. This can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Soothes irritated skin

Both red and near-infrared LED lights have anti-inflammatory properties, making them effective in calming and soothing irritated skin. This is particularly beneficial if you have inflammatory skin conditions such as rosacea or redness. The red and blue light is also effective in treating psoriasis.

Promotes healing and cell regeneration

Near-infrared LED light penetrates deeper into the skin, promoting faster healing and cellular regeneration. It can be helpful in reducing the recovery time after certain skin treatments or procedures.

Non-invasive way to target acne

Blue LED light has antibacterial properties that can kill acne-associated bacteria. It is a non-invasive way to manage and improve acne-prone skin.

Enhances skin tone and texture

LED Phototherapy can contribute to a more even skin tone by reducing hyperpigmentation and promoting a smoother texture.

Boosts circulation for healthier skin

The light energy from LEDs enhances blood circulation, contributing to healthier skin by ensuring a better supply of oxygen and nutrients to skin cells.

Minimises pore size for smoother skin

The overall improvement in skin health and collagen production can contribute to reduced pore size, giving the skin a smoother appearance.

It’s important to note that individual results may vary, and the effectiveness of LED Phototherapy can depend on factors such as the specific wavelengths used, treatment duration, and consistency.

From head to toe

While LED Phototherapy treatments are commonly carried out on the face, we can in fact treat most parts of the body. So if you're suffering from acne, psoriasis, pigmentation, redness, rosacea or any other skin concern on any part of your body, then LED can help. It can help reduce muscle and jjoint pain.

Combine with other treatments

The other amazing thing about the LED equipment is that we can combine this light therapy with a range of other treatments for even greater relaxation and enhanced results. For example, we can add LED to our range of Eve Taylor facials combining the natural ingredients of Eve Taylor’s products with the LED lights to enrich your skin.

Spring Clean Your Routine for Glowing Skin

I've witnessed firsthand the impact seasonal changes have on the skin. Winter's harsh winds and dry air can leave it feeling dry, flaky, and dehydrated. But with spring having just arrived, it's the perfect time to give your skin some love and say hello to a radiant, healthy complexion. 

In this blog, I’ll delve into the importance of spring cleaning your skincare routine, discuss how to combat winter dryness and explore tips to achieve that radiant complexion as the weather warms up.

The Importance of Seasonal Skincare Adjustments

Just like you wouldn't wear the same winter coat in the summer, your skincare routine needs adjustments too! Winter weather depletes your skin's natural moisture barrier and often demands richer moisturisers and heavier products to combat dryness. However, spring brings warmer temperatures and often increased humidity. Sticking to your winter routine can lead to clogged pores, breakouts, and an overall greasy feeling. Even if you’re not prone to congested skin - switching up your moisturiser as the weather becomes warmer will benefit your skin. Incorporating some seasonal tweaks, you can ensure your skin stays healthy, balanced, and glowing throughout spring and all the way into summer!

A Little Spring Cleaning For Your Skincare Routine

The spring clean is all about evaluating your current skincare products and making some adjustments to address your skin's changing needs.

Cleansing

Opt for a gentle, hydrating cleanser that removes impurities without stripping away natural oils. I speak to many clients who use rich cream cleansers all winter. But when spring arrives, they say that their skin feels congested. So switching to a lighter cleanser - like the Balancing Cleanser by Eve Taylor can make such a difference. This of course depends on your skin needs. If you want to use a cleanser with anti-ageing ingredients then our Age Resist Dynamic Resurfacing Cleanser is a highly active cleanser to thoroughly clean and resurface ageing skin. It’s got a lactic acid complex that exfoliates and renews the skin surface defending against the visible signs of ageing and leaving the skin fresh, soft and luminous.

Exfoliation

Regular exfoliation is crucial for removing dead skin cells and revealing a brighter, smoother complexion. It also helps your serum and moisturiser to absorb more efficiently. However, be gentle! Over-exfoliation can strip your skin's natural oils and irritate it. You should aim for 1-2 exfoliation sessions per week, depending on your skin type. You could use a physical exfoliant, like a sugar scrub, or an exfoliant containing AHAs (alpha-hydroxy acids) or BHAs (beta-hydroxy acid). The Resurfacing Cream Exfoliant is a creamy textured, non-abrasive exfoliant with 6% AHAs to gently refine skin texture without friction or scrubbing leaving the skin ultra smooth, hydrated and radiant. There is also the Micro-Fine Daily Exfoliant which you can use every day as part of your skincare routine, it’s suitable for even the most sensitive of skin types. It’s a fine textured powder based exfoliant with fruit enzymes to digest and dissolve surface skin cells. Botanical extracts soothe and brighten while leaving the skin texture feeling soft and smooth.

Serums

I can highly recommend the Age Resist Hydrating Serum with hyaluronic complex. It’s a national top seller of the Eve Taylor range. It rapidly absorbs into the skin to plump and hydrate. The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles are softened as the skin is re-hydrated and skin texture is left soft and silky with no tacky after feel. A serum is a key step in your routine. It provides your skin with a concentrated amount of ingredients and the molecules are able to penetrate into the skin which results in deeper hydration for your skin. Results are seen and felt more quickly than using a moisturiser alone.

If you prefer oil-based serums then I can’t recommend enough Eve Taylor’s blend of potent natural essential oils in the Aromatic Serum range. These are renowned encouraging oxygenation and improved elasticity. The Aromatic facial blends were the very first products Eve Taylor created, sat at her kitchen table, when she started her entrepreneurial journey in 1963.

Moisturisation

While I recommend switching to a lighter moisturising formula compared to your winter go-to, hydration remains crucial for healthy skin. Look for oil-free moisturisers formulated with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, known for their ability to attract and retain moisture without leaving a greasy residue. Explore different moisturisers in the Eve Taylor range to find the perfect match for your skin type. Don’t forget, you can always ask one of us for advice or ask to try some free samples.

My top skincare tips

SPF

Look for moisturisers with built-in SPF protection. Or apply an SPF moisturiser on top of your daily moisturiser. The C+ Bright SPF30 is a multi-purpose moisturiser which nourishes all skin types and conditions, brightens and illuminates uneven skin tone, and defends against damaging UV light. It’s easily absorbed and has a lightweight formulation. Luminosity gives a healthy glow to the skin, making this perfect for ‘no make-up’ days. It also creates an excellent base for make-up. With increased sun exposure during spring, it’s important to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Even on cloudy days, the sun can damage your skin. SPF also protects your skin from environmental pollutants which are unavoidable. 

Targeted Treatments

If you have specific concerns like dark circles or uneven skin tone, consider incorporating targeted treatments like eye creams or brightening serums.

Professional Facial

A professional facial treatment can deeply cleanse your skin, remove impurities, and provide a customised boost of hydration or rejuvenation. Our Eve Taylor facials have been designed to tackle and treat most skin concerns, from anti-ageing to blemishes. 

The Ultra Bright Facial illuminates dull, lacklustre, pigmented skin. It smoothes and softens your skin, while illuminating moisturiser protects and re-energises your skin leaving it flawlessly radiant, bright, and glowing.  

Or if you’re a little short on time but still want to see results, then our Eve Taylor Target+ facials are fantastic. These mini treatments are results-focused and use key formulations in the Eve Taylor range and the Eve Taylor ultrasonic micro-therapy device for increased effects and results. At this time of year, our Target+ Quench or Target+ Decongest would be perfect.

Target+ Quench pushes hydrators deeper into the skin for maximum moisture levels. The Target+ Decongest clears oiliness with purifying botanicals for a fresh-faced complexion.

Make your skin glow

By embracing a spring-cleaning approach to your skincare routine, you can shed the dullness of winter and welcome the warmer months with a radiant, healthy complexion.
