Before using a red light therapy mask for melasma, read this. We break down the science of how red and NIR light affect hyperpigmentation, revealing the potential benefits and critical risks.

In the world of at-home skincare and wellness, red light therapy devices are everywhere. But with options ranging from wearable facial masks to large, full-body panels, how do you know which one is right for your goals?

Near-infrared (NIR) light therapy, a science-backed technology, might be the solution you’re looking for. This innovative treatment uses invisible wavelengths of light to stimulate healing at a cellular level. Unlike red light therapy, which is fantastic for skin-deep concerns, near-infrared light penetrates deeper into your body's tissues.

Discover how red LED light therapy transforms skin from within. In this post, we explore the science behind red and near-infrared wavelengths, share real before and after results, and explain how consistent use can visibly reduce fine lines, improve skin tone, and boost collagen production, all from the comfort of home.

Pelleve® delivers gentle radiofrequency energy deep beneath the skin’s surface to stimulate the production of new collagen and strengthen existing collagen structures, resulting in natural, non-invasive skin tightening and improved skin firmness.

If you’ve been exploring the world of light therapy, you’ve likely come across terms like red light, near-infrared (NIR), and infrared (IR) used interchangeably. While they’re often grouped together, each of these light wavelengths targets the body in distinct ways and offers unique therapeutic benefits.

Exposure to long-wavelength red light significantly reduced blood clot formation in both mice and human studies. Red light was associated with lower inflammation, reduced immune system activation, and fewer clot-promoting mechanisms, such as neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and platelet activation.

A light or superficial chemical peel is the mildest form of chemical exfoliation, targeting the epidermis by removing part or all of its outer layers. This process triggers inflammation, stimulating the production of collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans, which help improve skin texture and elasticity. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure.

Exfoliating scrubs address dull and rough skin texture by mechanically removing dead skin cells through physical abrasion with granular particles. This process not only sloughs off surface debris but also stimulates blood circulation, enhancing skin nourishment. As dead skin cells are cleared away, cellular turnover is boosted, promoting fresher, newer skin cells to surface. The result is smoother, brighter skin with an improved overall texture and radiance.
A professional microdermabrasion treatment effectively removes the top layers of dead skin cells, temporarily eliminating the skin's protective barrier. There are two primary types of microdermabrasion systems: crystal and diamond-head.
