The Dermalux LED Face Mask has a recommended retail price of £449 in the UK, including VAT. Dermalux approves the stockists who sell it and sets the terms they retail under, so genuine sellers all sit close to that figure, and a listing well below it is worth a question or two before you buy. This article covers what the mask costs, why the price barely moves between sellers, what to check on a cheap listing, what comes in the box, and whether it is worth the money against the alternatives. We are an approved Dermalux stockist and we treat patients with Dermalux LED phototherapy at The London Road Clinic in Newark, so read this knowing that.
What does the Dermalux LED Face Mask cost?
£449 including VAT is the recommended retail price Dermalux publishes on its own product page, read on 28th August 2026. Every UK consumer price you see for it includes VAT at 20%.
Sellers run offers, Dermalux included, so the price you pay on any given day can sit under the RRP. We do not print a live price in an article, because the day an offer ends the article becomes wrong. The current price sits on the product page, where it is maintained.
The RRP is still the useful number, because the gap between the cheapest genuine seller and the dearest is small. The next section explains why.
Why every genuine stockist charges about the same
Dermalux does not sell through anyone who asks. It approves the clinics and retailers that carry the mask, and that approval comes with terms covering how the product is retailed, price among them. We hold one of those agreements, which is how the mask comes to be on this site at all.
The practical effect for you is that price is close to useless as a way of choosing between approved sellers. Nobody in that group can undercut the others by a meaningful margin. They differ on other things: who you can speak to when you have a question, whether anyone there has used the device on real skin, and what happens if something goes wrong in the first month.
So compare sellers on those things. If two are within a few pounds of each other, buy from the one who can answer a question about your skin.
What to check on a listing well below RRP
A price well under the recommended retail price usually means the seller sits outside the arrangement described above. That is not proof of anything on its own, and it is a good reason to ask three questions before you part with any money.
Are you an approved Dermalux stockist? Ask it directly. Dermalux publishes no public list of approved stockists, so the seller's own answer is all you have to go on. If they will not answer it plainly, buy elsewhere.
Is this a new, sealed unit? You want the mask, the controller, the UK charging cable and the printed materials, all unopened. If the box and paperwork are missing, you have no way of knowing how the device has been used.
Who handles it if the mask develops a fault? Get the answer before you buy rather than after. A seller who intends to stand behind the product will tell you without hesitating.
None of this is unique to Dermalux. It is the same set of questions worth asking about any device at this price bought from a seller you do not know.
What comes in the box
The mask arrives with its controller already connected, a USB-C charging cable, a protective storage pouch, a user guide and a warranty card. The warranty runs for two years.
The mask itself carries 144 LEDs across 318 LED chips, running 633nm red, 830nm near-infrared and 1072nm deep near-infrared. Eye guards are moulded into the mask rather than supplied as a separate shield, and the head strap adjusts with a soft foam support. One ten minute treatment a day is the whole protocol. It recharges over USB-C, so there is nothing to buy on a schedule and nothing to replace between treatments.
Is it worth the money?
That depends on what you are treating, and on whether you will use it.
If your main concern is breakouts, buy something else. The Dermalux mask carries no blue light, which is the wavelength used for blemish-prone skin, so it is the wrong device for that job and we would say so before taking your money. A mask carrying blue light is what you want instead, and we have set the Dermalux against the Shark CryoGlow, which carries blue light.
If you are treating fine lines, loss of firmness, redness or a dull, tired look, the three wavelengths in this mask were chosen for those concerns. One other UK mask runs the same three wavelengths at a lower published power, and we have compared the Dermalux with the CurrentBody Skin Series 2.
If you want a stronger dose than any home mask gives, that is a course of LED phototherapy in a clinic rather than a purchase. A professional system runs longer sessions at higher power with a practitioner setting the dose after looking at your skin. Plenty of patients do both: a course of treatments to get a result, then the mask to hold it.
The question that decides it is whether you will put the mask on for ten minutes a day for two months. LED works by accumulation, so daily use gets you somewhere. Used twice and left in a drawer, it does nothing at any price.

What about the professional Dermalux systems?
People searching for a Dermalux price sometimes want the professional equipment rather than the mask, so it is worth separating the two.
The Flex MD and the Tri-Wave MD are systems Dermalux builds for clinics. They are not sold as consumer products, and pricing one is a trade conversation with Dermalux rather than a retail purchase. The Flex MD is not the device we treat with. We use a Dermalux Tri-Wave at the clinic in Newark, Nottinghamshire, which runs 415nm blue alongside red and near-infrared.
A professional system and a home mask do different jobs. In clinic, a practitioner assesses your skin, sets the dose and the session length, and treats you for longer than any home device runs. The home mask has one fixed programme, and its advantage is that you can use it every day without booking anything.
If you are near Newark and want to try LED before you buy a mask, book a session at the clinic. If you are further afield, most aesthetic clinics offer LED and many of them run Dermalux.
Frequently asked questions
How much is the Dermalux LED Face Mask in the UK? The recommended retail price is £449 including VAT, published by Dermalux on its own product page. Sellers run offers, so the price on any given day can be lower. Check the product page for what it costs today.
Does Boots sell the Dermalux LED Face Mask? It was not in the Boots LED mask range when we checked on 28th August 2026. Dermalux approves the sellers who carry the mask, and ranges change, so with any seller the reliable check is to ask them directly whether they are approved.
Why does it cost more than other LED face masks? Dermalux publishes the light power reaching the skin and the treatment dose. Most manufacturers publish neither, which leaves you comparing masks on price and little else. Beyond that: three wavelengths rather than one or two, 144 LEDs across 318 chips, and a company whose main business is the professional LED phototherapy systems clinics treat on.
Is there a cheaper Dermalux mask? No. The LED Face Mask is the only home mask Dermalux makes. Everything else in the range is professional equipment sold to clinics.
What is the warranty? Two years, per Dermalux's own specification for the mask. A warranty card comes in the box.
Are UK prices shown with VAT included? Yes. Consumer prices in the UK include VAT at 20%, so the price you see is the price you pay.
Where should I buy it? From an approved Dermalux stockist. We are one. If you are buying elsewhere, ask the seller that question directly before you order.
Do I need to buy anything else to use it? No. It recharges over USB-C with the cable supplied, and there is nothing to replace between treatments.
