Beauty and the beam: the future of LED therapy looks bright

In the beauty world, the popularity of LED therapy is growing exponentially. In part, this is due simply to its increasing availability. According to Louise Taylor, one of the founders of Dermalux, a Warrington-based manufacturer of LED systems, some 1,000 clinics in the UK now use her company’s devices. “There is a feeling in the market that LED is something you can have on an ongoing basis,” she says. “Unless you have issues of photosensitivity, there are no real limits as to how much of it you can have, and that’s one reason why it is expanding in clinics.” But it is also the result of word of mouth, particularly on social media.
