The science

of light.

LED therapy has been studied clinically for over 40 years. Here is how it works, precisely. YES there is a lot of info into this tech, but its pretty cool

MODE

WAVELENGTHS

TARGET

MECHANISM

M1 — Repair

660nm

Redness, texture, sensitivity

Reduces surface inflammation. Stimulates red blood cell activity. Supports recovery of damaged or reactive skin.

M2 — Rejuvenation

590 + 660nm

Dullness, firmness, tone

Stimulates collagen and elastin production. Improves microcirculation. Reduces the appearance of fine lines.

M3 — Anti-Aging

660 + 850nm

Fine lines, hydration, firmness

Deep tissue repair. Improved blood flow. Increased hyaluronic acid retention and skin moisture.

M4 — Morning

590 + 660 + 850nm

Daily maintenance

Full daytime treatment. Reduces overnight puffiness. Prepares skin for enhanced absorption of morning actives.

M5 — Anti-Acne

415nm

Acne, congestion, oiliness

Eliminates acne-causing bacteria. Reduces active inflammation and the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

M6 — Bedtime

415 + 590 + 660 + 850nm

Overnight recovery

All four wavelengths simultaneously. The most comprehensive treatment mode. Designed for nightly use.

415

nm · Blue

Anti-Acne

Targets and destroys Propionibacterium acnesbacteria beneath the skin surface. Reduces oil production and the inflammatory response that causes breakouts.

590

nm · Yellow

Rejuvenation

Stimulates collagen and elastin. Improves skin tone and lymphatic drainage. Particularly effective for sensitive and rosacea-prone skin.

660

nm · Red

Repair & Anti-Aging

The most extensively researched wavelength in photobiomodulation. Penetrates the dermis to stimulate fibroblast activity, collagen synthesis, and surface repair.

850

nm · Near-Infrared

Deep Repair

Invisible to the eye. Penetrates past the dermis into subcutaneous tissue. Reduces deep inflammation, improves circulation, and increases skin hydration at a structural level.

Clinical studies have shown that red light in the 630–660nm range stimulates fibroblast activity, supporting increased collagen and elastin production. With consistent use, it helps improve skin firmness, smooth fine lines, and enhance overall skin texture.

Near-infrared light at 850nm penetrates deeper into the skin, where it stimulates mitochondrial activity and boosts ATP production. This supports cellular repair, improves circulation, and accelerates the body's natural regeneration process.

Blue light at 415nm targets acne-causing bacteria beneath the skin's surface. It helps reduce active breakouts, balances excess oil production, and minimizes inflammation, promoting a clearer and healthier complexion.

Combining multiple wavelengths delivers comprehensive skin benefits by targeting different tissue depths simultaneously. This synergistic approach supports collagen synthesis, reduces inflammation, improves hydration, and enhances overall skin rejuvenation.
