What's The Difference Between In-Clinic and At-Home Light Therapy?

Why In-Clinic LED Light Therapy Outshines At-Home LED Masks

 
 

At Pure Emporium Skin & Laser Clinic Hereford, we’re proud to offer the Dermalux Light Therapy treatment – a powerful, non-invasive way to boost skin health, restore radiance, and treat a wide range of concerns. With LED masks becoming more popular at home, many clients ask us: “Is there really a difference between in-clinic and at-home LED treatments?”

The short answer: yes – and it’s a big one.

What is LED Light Therapy?

LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy works by delivering specific wavelengths of light into the skin. These wavelengths energise your skin cells, encouraging repair, renewal, and regeneration. Different lights target different concerns:

  • Red light: boosts collagen, improves texture, and reduces fine lines.

  • Blue light: powerful antibacterial action, great for clearing acne.

  • Near-infrared light: reduces inflammation, redness, and supports healing deep within the skin.


Why Choose In-Clinic LED Therapy Over At-Home Masks?

  • Medical-Grade Power & Precision
    At Pure Emporium, we use the Dermalux Compact Lite, a medical-grade machine trusted by skin professionals worldwide. It delivers powerful, clinically proven wavelengths at the correct intensity – something home devices can’t match. At-home masks are designed for safety across all users, which means they often use much lower strength light.


  • Longer-Lasting Results
    A single Dermalux treatment continues to work for up to 72 hours after your appointment, as your skin cells remain energised and recharged. This gives lasting benefits and helps you reached your desired skin goals quicker.


  • Tailored to Your Skin Needs
    Every skin is different. During your treatment at Pure Emporium, we can adjust the light settings and customise the experience depending on whether your goal is anti-ageing, calming sensitivity, or clearing acne.


  • Safety & Expertise
    Because our Dermalux system is medical grade, it’s not just safe – it’s clinically proven. Treatments are carried out by our trained therapists, ensuring your skin is treated correctly, comfortably, and with maximum benefit.


  • The Relaxation Factor
    Let’s not underestimate the joy of lying back, switching off, and enjoying 20 minutes of peace while your skin is being recharged. No fiddly straps, no guessing if you’re using it correctly – just results and relaxation.


Who is Dermalux Light Therapy For?

LED therapy is suitable for all skin types and ages. It’s particularly effective for:

  • Acne and breakouts

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Redness and sensitivity

  • Dull, lacklustre skin

  • Post-treatment healing

Whether used as a stand-alone treatment or added to one of our advanced facials, it’s the perfect boost for skin health and radiance.

At-home LED masks can be a nice introduction, but when it comes to real results, nothing compares to in-clinic medical-grade LED therapy. At Pure Emporium, we use the award-winning Dermalux Compact Lite, ensuring your skin gets the gold standard in light therapy.
