Light therapy - a deep dive

Red light therapy is one of the year's biggest skincare trends. LED masks and tools are popping up left and right, with everyone from your bestie coworker to your favorite aunt raving about their results. But what do they DO? We’re here to break it down, step by step, and help you discover which of these innovative tools is right for you. 

What is light therapy?  

What we know as light therapy, or even red light therapy, actually falls into two categories: LED and infrared. They’re both incredible for the skin, targeting a wide variety of concerns, picking up where topicals products like serums and retinols leave off. But what's the difference between the two? 

Which device is right for YOU? 

Now that we know the what, let's get to the fun part: choosing which of these cutting edge tools is right for you and your unique needs. 

The Masks

Solaris LED Mask

The perfect way to dip your toe into an LED therapy mask. Red, blue, green, and amber light all team up to fight signs of aging, eliminate acne-causing bacteria, and fade past scarring and pigmentation. 

Omnilux Contour Face Mask

The very first FDA-approved LED mask on the market! All the benefits of a trip to a med spa or dermatologist without the fuss or downtown that come with more invasive treatments. 

The wands 

Theraface Depuffing Wand

The results of the industry favorite, the Theraface Pro, with added sculpting power to promote lymphatic drainage and depuff tired skin.

Theraface Pro

The Gua Shas
