The science
How LED light therapy works
LED (light-emitting diode) therapy, also called photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of visible and near-infrared light to interact with your skin at different depths. It produces no heat and no UV, which is why sessions feel like nothing more than sitting under a warm glow.
The wavelengths in LuminaMask Pro
- Red (633nm) — the most clinically studied wavelength for skin. It’s associated with supporting the skin’s natural collagen processes, which is linked to softer fine lines.
- Blue — targets the bacteria associated with breakouts, often used to help calm blemish-prone skin.
- Green & yellow — commonly used to help even out the look of tone and soothe the appearance of redness.
- Near-infrared — the longest wavelength, reaching the deepest layers to support a firmer, more energised look.
Why 10 minutes, a few times a week
With light therapy, more power isn’t better. What matters is wavelength accuracy, even coverage, and — above all — consistency. Short, regular sessions (10 minutes, 3–5 times a week) are the approach reflected in the research and the one we recommend.
What to realistically expect
This isn’t an overnight fix. Many people notice their skin looking fresher within 2–4 weeks, with more meaningful changes in tone and texture typically appearing after 4–8 weeks of consistent use.
LuminaMask Pro is a cosmetic device, not a medical one. The information above is based on published independent research into red and near-infrared light therapy as a category; LuminaMask Pro has not undergone its own clinical trial, and it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition. Individual results vary. If you have a skin condition, are pregnant, or take photosensitising medication, speak with your doctor before use.
