The britebox dermaclear is an effective acne treatment lamp using innovative light-waves (840 medical LEDs), which kill P. acnes and promotes healing (reducing the chances of scaring). By combining blue and red LED technology, the Dermaclear is a natural acne treatment which is highly effective and safe.
Clinical studies show that blue light and red light, working at specific wavelengths, act together in clearing mild to severe acne. The blue light (415nm) has an antibacterial effect whilst the red light (633nm) acts as an effective anti-inflammatory.
How the britebox dermaclear works:
Blue LED (415nm)
It has long been known that sun light (UV light) will improve acne. However, because of photo ageing and medical side effects, UV lights are not recommended as a safe treatment for acne.
More recently, a peak wavelength of 415nm, which is outside the UV range and therefore safe, have been found to be a highly effective acne treatment. It is known that Propionibacterium acnes (P. acne) produce porphyrins during their normal life cycle. Porphyrins absorb light energy at the near UV and visible blue light spectrum. The irradiation of P. acnes with blue visible lights (415nm) lead to photo excitation of bacterial porphyrins, singlet oxygen production and eventually bacterial destruction.
Red Light (633nm)
It has been found that exposure to 633nm low-level wavelengths release cytokines. Cytokines stimulate fibroblast proliferation and the production of growth factors, thus influencing the inflammatory process, healing and ultimately wound repair and has been found to significantly improve postoperative open wounds. This light will reduce any chance of scarring.
The britebox dermaclear folds together like a brief case with a carrying handle, it comes complete with a holdall for the unit and accessories.
Frequently asked questions about britebox dermaclear
Will it hurt?
No. Unlike lasers or other ablative (skin harming) treatments, the britebox dermaclear is non-thermal, non-ablative, non-invasive and thus will not hurt.
How long before I see a result?
Each person responds at different speeds. Some much quicker than others. Most people see initial results in 4 to 8 weeks, many see results in as short as 1 to 3 weeks. A few people will take as long as 9 to 11 weeks, but this is more unusual.
Are there any negative side effects?
There are no side effects with this type of treatment. This has been demonstrated through short and long term clinical studies.
Can it damage my eyes/Do I need to use the goggles provided?
The blue LEDs emit a short wavelength of light and can be detrimental to eyes if used without protection for prolonged periods. This can bring on a condition called ‘age related macular degeneration’. Although the blue light is outside the UV spectrum (it will have the same effect as UV light in killing p. acnes) and will not cause tanning, we do stress that the user should wear the UV protective goggles supplied.
Can I use it with other creams or medications?
Yes the britebox dermaclear can be used alone or with other skin care treatments.
People taking medication such as roaccutane should consult their skin specialist before using the britebox dermaclear.
Will I need to replace the LEDs?
If used as per instructions The LED panels have a life expectancy of approximately 400 hours. We would, therefore, not expect for you to replace the LED panels within the products lifetime.
Do I need to use it every day?
You will achieve the best results if you use the britebox dermaclear for 15 minutes daily (5 days out of 7 per week) Continued use is recommended as part of your normal skin care routine. A marked improvement should be seen after 1 month and optimal results are achieved after 12 weeks.
Will it also work on my neck and hands?
The britebox dermaclear will be as effective on any part of the body.
Does it work for any skin type?
Yes, the britebox revive is proven to work on all skin types.
Can I use it for more than 15 minutes per day?
Yes, some people find using it for 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes at night achieve good results, especially at times of stress. However, the related clinical studies recommend 15 minutes as per our instructions, although it is safe to use more if required.
Can I use the britebox dermaclear whilst pregnant?
The britebox dermaclear is completely safe to use whilst pregnant. Care must be taken that children are not left unsupervised with electrical appliances.
Britebox dermaclear - Testimonials
I used the britebox dermaclear and was very happy with the results, I was trying
every thing on the market to try and clear up my problem skin, and spent a small
fortune, but only found that I was allergic to most products, the light box, was a god
send, and only a couple of weeks from starting using it, lots of people started to say
not only had my problem skin cleared up but the condition of my skin, was looking
better than it had. I would highly recommend this product, not just to clear up skin,
but to improve its overall condition. Inflammation reduced after the first week. Over
the next couple of months the number and frequency of break-outs reduced. By the
fourth month I no longer felt compelled to wear make-up. After years of trying
everything, I'm so amazed this has worked, long may it continue. The physical impact
the britebox dermaclear has made is only the beginning, as every acne sufferer will
know, the mental impact is more profound. It's like a weight lifting off my shoulders. I
just feel so happy. I only wish doctors would advise their patients to try light therapy,
as I'm sure any long term sufferer would prefer the more natural approach and not
using antibiotics.
Thanks, Claire
I think the britebox is a fantastic product. Although I haven't seen the results as
quickly as suggested, it is the only thing that has helped my skin in 10 years! I have
tried many products over the years with little or no effect, but the britebox dermaclear
has really made a difference. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone and I
wish it had been discovered years ago!

"I'm very pleased with the results from my britebox dermaclear. There's no pain, no
discomfort and no inflammation at all. I can't believe how much better my skin feels
now; I'm well impressed. My forehead, nose & chin used to be greasy all the time &
now my skin has definitely improved."

Hi
I have used my britebox dermaclear for just 7 days and already I can feel and see a
huge improvement in my skin. After 2 days I realised that my skin was not as irritated
as it usually is and that I have been able to resist touching my face. I am truly
amazed at the improvement in my skin which looks better than it has done over the
last 18 years. Even my friends have noticed and today, I was able to go to work
without using foundation to mask the spots. I have never been able to do that in all
that time. I am very surprised that I have noticed an improvement so quickly... Thank
you
So far, so good! My skin is in great condition, my moisturiser absorbs more easily,
my make up goes on like a dream, and those horrible blackheads aren't there to get
me down! It definitely gives dull skin a boost and keeps spots at bay.

I had acne in my teens to early twenties and it is all but gone now. I still had the
occasional breakout, but nothing major. But it was the condition of my skin post acne
that got me down the most: oily, dull skin, huge pours, scarring, embarrassing
blackheads all over my nose and cheeks, and slow healing spots. I was getting
frustrated at having to keep on buying an arsenal of expensive skin care products for
"problem skin" just to keep my skin relatively clear and healthy looking. I decided to
give the britebox dermaclear a try because I did not want to take any more potentially
harmful medications for my skin. I was looking for something to sort the problem out
from it's root cause (hormonal) but I wanted to avoid drugs, and I'd heard about the
benefits of blue and red light for troubled skin, I thought it sounded far healthier than
taking hormone based drugs which have some pretty serious side effects. Overall, I
am pleased with the product. I hadn't used it as much as I would have liked, but
when I did use it for extended periods of time, I was always pleased with the
outcome. Quite coincidentally I started reusing it daily to give my oily, dead-looking
skin a boost. For one thing, my complexion glows when I use it everyday, my black
heads are disappearing again, and my skin is really smooth (as though it has been
exfoliated and then moisturized). And unlike creams, which claim to do far more than
they actually can, you can actually feel this product working beneath the skins
surface. I am also hoping the red light will help target signs of aging.
