Science-backed skin care

Numerous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of LED light therapy in skin rejuvenation and stimulation of collagen production. A clinical study by the Department of Dermatology of the National Medical Center in Seoul, South Korea, investigated the efficacy of various LED wavelengths by involving 76 participants with facial wrinkles to compare their effects on skin rejuvenation.

Participants showed a maximum reduction of wrinkles by 36% and increased skin elasticity by up to 19% after treatment. Histological assessments showed a significant increase in collagen and elastic fibers, suggesting that LED therapy aids skin structure renewal. Additionally, their ultrastructural analysis showed that highly activated fibroblasts were surrounded by increased collagen and elastic fibers, which indicated enhanced skin resilience in the participants.

The study reported no negative side effects and confirmed that LED phototherapy is effective for non-invasive skin rejuvenation.

Light therapy developments

Many brands are tapping into this demand for home-use skin care devices. DermRays recently released a microcurrent laser with four modes designed for customized skin treatment. The Revive Laser Beauty Device uses targeted light energy to stimulate collagen production and address skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, uneven tone and texture.

Lifezoom also recently launched a handheld light therapy wand fitted with four light spectrum chips, each targeting different skin conditions. According to the company, users can curb unwanted bacterial growth, increase collagen production, and decrease inflammation.
