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 is increased, microcirculation improves, and anti-inflammatory effects occur. Light therapy not only enhances 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 skin care – 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 proof of the strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action 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 synthesis of type I collagen, improved skin firmness, and reduced visibility of wrinkles. 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 benefit not only the skin but also overall well-being.
