About

Origins

Luxoderm was born from the research conducted by François Balembois at the Charles Fabry Laboratory, a joint research unit bringing together the Institut d’Optique Graduate School, CNRS, and Université Paris-Saclay. With a team of experts in optics and photonics, we innovate to provide healthcare professionals with advanced light-based solutions in dermatology and aesthetics.

Product

A new generation of phototherapy treatments

Luxoderm designs a patented, non-invasive medical device that facilitates the transition from the inflammatory phase to the proliferative phase.It enables a simple, fast, and effective treatment of chronic wounds, usable by healthcare professionals both in hospitals and in patients’ homes, to enhance healing and improve quality of life.

Service

Are you a research laboratory looking to explore how specific wavelengths of light can modulate biological mechanisms of interest?

Luxoderm offers research collaborations and Research Use Only (RUO) services to help researchers investigate the effects of precisely controlled light exposure on biological models.

We provide access to specific spectral bands and can perform experiments directly in your laboratory, from light-source calibration and spectral selection to irradiance measurements at the distance of interest and controlled exposure of your experimental models.

As an example, typical exploratory irradiations on fibroblasts or keratinocytes may involve 3 minutes of exposure at 40 mW/cm², at a distance of 3 cm.

Experimental parameters can be adapted to your biological model and research objectives.Interested in exploring the effects of light in your research?
