The Basics

What Is Light Therapy?

Light therapy, also called photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of light to interact with the skin at a cellular level.

Red light was first explored by NASA in the 1990s to support wound healing; it has since been the subject of many studies for its effects on skin and tissue.

Today, modern at-home devices use LED technology to deliver these wavelengths gently and conveniently — no clinic visit required.

Beneath the Surface

How Red Light Is Thought to Support Collagen

Collagen is the protein that keeps skin looking firm and smooth. Here's the widely studied idea behind how red light is understood to work over time.

STAGE 01

Collagen naturally declines with age, causing the look of fine lines and sagging.

STAGE 02

Red light penetrates the skin, where it's thought to encourage collagen and elastin activity.

STAGE 03

Fresh collagen is thought to help support the skin's structure from within.

STAGE 04

Over time, skin can look firmer, smoother, and more plump.

The Visible Spectrum

Three Colors, Three Depths

Light comes in different wavelengths, each a different color. Longer wavelengths reach deeper into the skin — which is why each color does something different.

Red Light · 630nm

Longest wavelength, reaches deepest — linked to collagen and firmness.

Green Light · 525nm

Mid wavelength — associated with a more even-looking tone.

Blue Light · 415nm

Shortest wavelength, stays near the surface — associated with clearer skin.

3 Lights · 3 Benefits

Different Lights. Real Results.

Each light works at its own depth beneath the surface to target your skin's unique needs.

Good to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it feel like? +
Gentle light and a little warmth. It's non-invasive and designed to be comfortable and pain-free.
Can't I just use a red light bulb? +
Regular bulbs don't deliver the specific wavelengths skin responds to. They might set the mood, but they won't do the same thing.
How long until I see a difference? +
With consistent use — at least a few times a week — some people notice changes in around four weeks, and many studies look at the eight-week mark. Light therapy works with your skin's natural renewal cycle, so showing up regularly matters most.
Is it safe for sensitive skin? +
Everyone's skin is different, so it's a good idea to do a simple patch test before regular use to make sure your skin is comfortable.
Does the light bother your eyes? +
Avoid staring directly into the light. If you're sensitive, you can close your eyes or use protective eyewear for added comfort.
