Dermalux Tri-Wave MD is a medical-grade LED phototherapy device that emits three different wavelengths of light: red, blue, and near-infrared. The device is designed to help improve skin health and appearance, as well as aid in the treatment of various skin conditions, such as acne, wrinkles, and inflammation.
The red light (633nm) helps to increase collagen production, improve skin texture and tone, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The blue light (415nm) targets acne-causing bacteria and can help reduce inflammation and redness associated with acne. The near-infrared light (830nm) penetrates deeper into the skin, promoting healing and reducing inflammation.
