A firm favourite amongst the beauty and medical industries for accelerated wound healing, reduced inflammation and anti-ageing—red LED light therapy is the topic on everyone’s lips. Although once reserved for in-clinic treatments, LED light therapy has fast adapted for home use through wearable, hands free devices—such as our award-winning CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask. As seen in Netflix's 'Emily in Paris' and featured in multiple publications. Delivered through LED diode bulbs straight to your skin, see what the power of red light therapy can do for you.

NASA were the first to use this technology to assist plant growth, while the Navy SEALs used it for accelerating wound healing in those with musculoskeletal injuries. It wasn't long before this regenerative light therapy was adopted by medical and aesthetic professionals. “A good way to think of it,” explains aesthetic surgeon, Dr. Glyn Estebanez: “is like plants absorbing sunlight to power photosynthesis and boost tissue growth. Human cells can absorb light wavelengths to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.” Reported by the Evening Standard.

What is red LED light therapy good for?

LED light therapy uses varying wavelengths to activate the skin’s natural cell rejuvenation and repair process. Red and near-infrared wavelengths are used for accelerated, non-invasive anti-ageing due to their collagen and elastin stimulating properties.

Red light therapy wavelengths are ideal for fading fine lines, wrinkles and inflammation. It’s also extremely effective for tackling acne, rosacea and sun damage. 

Near-infrared light is the deepest absorbed wavelength. It’s used to reverse the signs of ageing by improving skin elasticity, reducing inflammation, redness and wound healing.

Combined, these wavelengths deliver immediate and lasting results for fresher, calmer and healthier skin. They also target other skin conditions and cosmetic concerns, such as rosacea, eczema and psoriasis. Suitable for both face and body, this professional medical-grade technology has the ability to truly transform your skin. The benefits of red LED light therapy are more than just skin deep. It’s been proven to support the production of vitamin D, with users finding that regular treatments reduce stress and improve energy levels.
