Everything Light Therapy.
Light therapy is the use of LED light to treat various ailments and conditions.
The benefits of light therapy were discovered by NASA, who explored the effects of LEDs for their astronauts.
The various colours from the light spectrum can be used to treat various kinds of skin problems.
Hospitals and medical centers around the world have already been using light therapy for years to treat and cure skin diseases and skin problems.
Different wavelengths of light have shown significant results in treating injuries, illnesses, dermatological ailments, and circadian rhythms.
Light therapy is used for general wellness and health, and it is safe and non-invasive.

How does light therapy work?
Light therapy works by stimulating areas of the body with light waves that in turn activate the release of neurotransmitters in the brain and has been directly linked to revitalization and rejuvenation of the body. Light therapy can be done in professional clinics or with home-use devices.
What are some benefits of light therapy?
- Clinically proven to boost collagen
production
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Dark spots and redness diminish with regular use
- Reduces acne and acne breakouts
- Anti-inflammation
and improved blood flow
How long does it take for the benefits to take effect?
We recommend any session from 3 to 20 minutes daily. Generally, it takes about 2 to 4 weeks for light therapy to have visible effect. Sometimes the benefits of light therapy can be immediate yet it is important to be patient and consistent with light therapy to experience its full benefits.

Near-infrared light therapy
Near-infrared light (800+nm) penetrates deep into the dermis of the skin to stimulate collagen production, elastin and increase blood circulation. This results in an improved appearance of skin tone and texture, more elasticity, and a reduction of wrinkles.
Near-infrared light therapy is FDA-cleared and studies have shown it can help with:
Near-infrared light penetrates deep into the skin, helping to increase blood flow. This can aid in healing by delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the area.
Inflammation is a natural response of the body to injury or infection. However, chronic inflammation can lead to a host of problems, including pain, swelling, and tissue damage. Studies have shown that near-infrared light therapy can help to reduce inflammation by stimulating the release of anti-inflammatory cytokines.
Collagen and elastin are the foundational proteins responsible for skin's elasticity and firmness. Light therapy stimulates the production of these proteins, rejuvenating the skin. This results in reduced wrinkles, enhanced skin texture, and an overall youthful appearance.
Near-infrared light therapy also increasing oxygenation levels in the skin. Near-infrared light therapy is often used as a treatment for scars, rosacea, sun damage or age spots.

Red light therapy
Red light therapy (630nm) exposes the body to red light, which is absorbed by the mitochondria in our cells. This absorption of light energy triggers a complex series of events that leads to the production of adenosine triphosphate or ATP, a molecule that is responsible for producing energy in the cells. Studies have shown that the increased production of ATP has several benefits, including:
Other effects of red light therapy could include
Red Light Therapy For Anti-Aging
Red light therapy is an FDA-cleared treatment that can lead to younger-looking skin. The photo biomodulation that occurs during red light therapy stimulates collagen production and cell turnover, which helps to improve skin texture, decrease pore size, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Amber light therapy
Revitalizes
"Amber light therapy, grounded in clinical research, offers a promising avenue for addressing various skin concerns. Its unique wavelength provides gentle yet effective solutions, marking a new era in skincare advancements."
Yellow light therapy
It is used for skin rejuvenation and works best on people with mild to moderate skin conditions.
Benefits include:
Green light therapy
Benefits include:
Helps even skin complexion, alleviates sensitive skin
Green light eases migraines and light sensitivity.
Nature's Radiance Enhancer
Green light therapy helps to even out skin tone, reduce hyperpigmentation, and soothe redness. The process rejuvenates the skin, presenting a more balanced and harmonious complexion.
Cyan light therapy
Cyan light therapy is commonly used for calming and soothing of the skin.
Benefits include:
Blue light therapy
Blue light therapy can influence sebaceous (oil) glands, potentially reducing oil production and preventing skin from becoming overly oily, which leads to reduced oil production and less clogged pores.
Benefits include:
Blue light therapy affects the brain’s production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in balancing your mood.
Blue light is uniquely effective in controlling sebum production. Clinical studies have confirmed its role in balancing oily skin.
Extra uncommon benefits
A growing body of research indicates that blue light therapy can have positive effects on seasonal affective disorder (SAD), mental health, fatigue, low mood, sadness, or depression.
Purple light therapy
By stimulating the cells, it encourages the regeneration of new skin, making it a potent tool in addressing signs of aging and achieving a radiant complexion.
Benefits include:
