What dermatologists say about light therapy
Shining LED light on your face may sound too good to be true, but light therapy has been used in medical and aesthetic treatments for decades. The technology even has roots in NASA, where red and near-infrared light were used in the 1990s to promote wound healing in astronauts.
Today, LED technology has moved beyond clinics and found a place in daily skincare routines at home. With the right device — offering sufficient power and clinically backed wavelengths — a LED mask can produce impressive results for aging skin, redness, or breakouts.
What does LED light do for your skin?
LED (Light Emitting Diode) emits specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by the skin. Each color penetrates to a different depth and triggers a distinct biological response. Red light stimulates collagen, while blue light targets bacteria. Used correctly, LED light can improve skin tone, texture, and clarity.
- 🔴 Red light (630 nm) stimulates fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin, leading to firmer, smoother skin.
- 🟣 Near-infrared light (850 nm) penetrates deeper and enhances the effects of red light by boosting cell activity and tissue repair.
- 🔵 Blue light (415 nm) is antibacterial and helps treat acne by killing P. acnes bacteria. It also purifies and reduces inflammation.
- 🟡 Yellow light (590 nm) acts on the surface to calm the skin, improve microcirculation, and reduce redness and irritation.
Why is mW/cm² important?
Many LED devices highlight only the wavelength (nm), but light intensity is just as critical. Measured in mW/cm² (milliwatts per square centimeter), it reflects the amount of energy delivered to your skin. The right intensity ensures the light is effective without overstimulating the skin.
- Too low (< 10 mW/cm²): minimal or no results
- Too high (> 60 mW/cm²): risk of irritation
- Ideal therapeutic range for at-home use: 20–50 mW/cm²
The LUME+ LED mask is calibrated for safe and effective use:
- 🔴 Red + IR: 32 mW/cm²
- 🔵 Blue: 45 mW/cm²
- 🟡 Yellow: 11 mW/cm²
This makes it strong enough for results, yet gentle enough for consistent home use.
What makes the LUME+ mask different?
Not all LED masks are created equal. The LUME+ mask by Líkami combines clinical-grade specifications with ease of use:
- Features 216 LED points (54 × 4-in-1 LEDs) for even, full-face coverage
- Innovative LUME Layer Lift™ design keeps the mask floating 1 cm above the skin for uniform light diffusion without contact
- Offers three light modes: red + IR, blue, and yellow — each targeting specific skin concerns
- Lightweight, flexible, IP67 waterproof, and USB-C rechargeable
- Optimized for use with our Líkami PLUS targeted serums for amplified results
This makes LUME+ a smart, professional-grade alternative to in-clinic light therapy — made for real-life routines at home.
How to choose a quality LED mask
With more LED devices available, dermatologists recommend checking the following criteria:
1. Wavelength (nm)
Different wavelengths target different concerns. Look for clinically validated ranges like 630 nm (red) or 415 nm (blue).
2. Light intensity (mW/cm²)
Ensure the output is strong enough to be effective, but safe for regular use. LUME+ delivers consistent, calibrated intensity.
3. Number of LEDs
More light points equal better coverage. LUME+ includes 216 LEDs for uniform performance.
4. Fit and comfort
A good mask fits snugly or hovers gently above the face. LUME+ floats above the skin for comfort and hygiene.
5. Safety certifications
Always look for CE, FCC, and RoHS approval for safe usage.
What do dermatologists say?
LED therapy is widely accepted in dermatology as an effective treatment option. It’s commonly used for:
- Fine lines and loss of elasticity — via collagen stimulation
- Acne and breakouts — thanks to blue light’s purifying effects
- Redness and sensitivity — soothed by yellow light
- Dull or tired skin — improved by boosting circulation
Dermatologists emphasize that consistency is key. LUME+ makes it easy to integrate light therapy into your routine, offering reliable results without the clinic visit.
In summary:
The LUME+ LED mask combines clinically validated wavelengths with safe and effective intensity. With 216 LED points, a contact-free floating design, and seamless serum pairing, it delivers professional results from the comfort of home.
