LED light therapy, known as photobiomodulation, uses light of precisely selected wavelengths (red, blue, or yellow) that penetrates deep into the skin and stimulates its natural regenerative processes. The light is absorbed by mitochondria – the "energy centers" of cells – leading to increased production of ATP, which is the energy necessary for cell renewal and growth.
As a result, fibroblasts are stimulated, collagen and elastin synthesis increases, microcirculation improves, and anti-inflammatory effects occur. Light therapy not only improves the appearance and firmness of the skin but also supports the fight against acne, discolorations, and signs of aging. It is a safe, non-invasive method that combines care and therapeutic effects – providing both aesthetic results and a feeling of relaxation and relief.
Clinically proven effectiveness
LED light therapy is not just a trend in cosmetology – its effects have been repeatedly confirmed in scientific studies and clinical publications.
1. Reduction of inflammatory acne
In a clinical study published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology (Gold et al., 2009), the use of blue light (415 nm) and red light (633 nm) in people with moderate acne led to a reduction of inflammatory lesions by as much as 77% after 12 weeks of regular use (2–3 times a week). This is evidence of the strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects of LED light.
2. Anti-aging effects and collagen stimulation
In a systematic review based on over 30 clinical studies (Seminars in Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, Barolet et al., 2016), it was shown that light therapy with wavelengths from 590 to 850 nm (yellow, red, and infrared) leads to increased type I collagen synthesis, improved skin firmness, and reduced wrinkle visibility. Effects appeared after 8–12 weeks of use.
3. The effect of red light on well-being and stress reduction A pilot study conducted by Rojas & Gonzalez-Lima (2013), published in Neuropsychopharmacology, showed that exposure to red light (670 nm) can improve mood, reduce anxiety levels, and improve sleep quality and concentration. This means that using LED masks can have beneficial effects not only on the skin but also on overall well-being.
