Light Therapy
Phototherapy – Discover the beautifying effects of the light spectrum
Awaken your beauty with the power of light! Painless and gentle LED therapy has completely taken over the beauty world. Treat wrinkles, acne and hyperpigmentation on your face using a home LED device, which you can use whenever you want to pamper your skin.
What is LED light therapy?
In the world of cosmetics, LED phototherapy (also called light therapy or photon therapy) is a non-invasive method of skincare that uses the colour spectrum of light. In the 1980s and 1990s, NASA tested the beneficial effects of red light on the human body, and modern dermatology now uses this insight to treat a whole range of beauty issues.
Benefits of LED light facial therapy
- Depending on the colour of the light, it can boost skin firmness, help fight acne or help even out skin tone.
- The LED devices’ light spectrum doesn’t contain any harmful blue-violet or UV radiation.
- LED devices are suitable for men and women of all ages.
- They are gentle and suitable for all skin types. Side effects are rare.
- Blue and red light can be used daily.
- The initial investment in a LED light therapy mask and other LED devices is well worth it. Instead of paying every time you visit the beauty salon, you can indulge in beautifying moments at any time, in the comfort of your own home.
Types of light therapy
In light therapy, different wavelengths are used, which correspond to different visible colours of light. Not only does each wavelength of the light spectrum produce different effects, it also penetrates the skin at different depths. Learn how blue, yellow or red light works on the face and find out what suits you best.
Red light and close infrared light: Impact on rejuvenating the skin
Red light can penetrate deep into the skin, where it stimulates the circulation, boosts collagen production and contributes to overall tissue regeneration. Regular red light therapy will give your skin a plumper, more youthful appearance. It reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and pigment spots.
Blue light on acne
Blue light therapy focuses on skincare for the uppermost layer of the skin. Blue light is often cited as an effective LED for acne, as it helps destroy the bacteria in the skin that often cause it. It also has positive effects on blackheads, excessively oily skin, and acne scars. However, it is not recommended for cystic acne.
Yellow light
It counteracts wrinkles and other signs of ageing. It improves circulation and reduces redness.
Green light
Green light is suitable for brightening up dull skin, evening out colour tone, and eliminating pigment spots and dark circles under the eyes.
Phototherapy at home
All that you need to do light treatment is a suitable LED device and a few minutes. There are many LED devices that can take your skincare to the next level. Some of the most popular are:
- LED photon mask: Bringing skin pampering from the beauty salon into your home. Whether you want to reduce wrinkles, get rid of pigment spots, combat acne, or brighten up a lifeless complexion, a light therapy mask for the face and décolletage is the perfect tool for you.
- Massage cosmetic devices with LED light: Used to boost the absorption of nourishing ingredients in face masks and other skincare products, to improve skin hydration, to reduce wrinkles, to soothe, and to generally soften the skin. These are usually smaller devices in various shapes that fit perfectly in your hand or travel bag. There are also compact massagers for the eyes and lips.
- Cosmetic pen with blue LED light for acne and enlarged pores: This tiny device boosts skin regeneration, and reduces blackheads, whiteheads and sebum production.

When using LED devices, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions. When can you expect to see the initial results from LED therapy? Visible effects can appear after just 10 uses.
Who is light therapy not suitable for?
Light therapy is generally considered a safe method of skin treatment. However, some people should approach LED therapy with heightened caution. You should consult your doctor if:
- you suffer from migraines, epilepsy or increased sensitivity to light,
- you have an active rash or skin disease,
- you are undergoing treatment for a malignant tumour,
- you are pregnant.
Tip: Do not use blue light directly before going to sleep, as it can have an impact on your circadian rhythm and cause sleep issues.
