How It Works
The Science Behind the LaserWave Ritual
Visible results come from showing up for your skin — a few minutes a day, every day. That's the routine LaserWave was built for.
Every ritual pairs two steps: clinical-wavelength LED light that reaches beneath the surface, and a targeted serum that works right alongside it.
Research-rooted, gentle enough for daily use, and quick enough to actually stick.
Real Light. Visible Results.
Built on decades of photobiomodulation research and dermatologist tested, LaserWave delivers specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light that reach deeper layers of the skin — supporting firmer, healthier-looking skin over time, with no needles, no downtime and no invasive treatments.

What is Light Therapy?
Light therapy — also known as photobiomodulation — uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light that skin cells absorb and respond to at a cellular level.
The science traces back to NASA-backed research in the 1990s on LED light and tissue repair. Since then, red light has been studied extensively for its effects on skin.
Today, LaserWave brings those same wavelengths home in compact LED devices — no UV, no downtime, just a few minutes a day.
Why Light Therapy Works
Your skin cells absorb certain wavelengths of red and near-infrared light and turn them into usable energy.
With that extra energy, cells can do their everyday work more efficiently — renewing, repairing and keeping collagen and elastin production on track — by supporting the processes your body already runs on its own.
It's why light therapy has become a staple everywhere from dermatology offices and spas to at-home routines like yours.
The Light Spectrum, Explained
Every wavelength of light shows up as its own color — and each one travels to a different depth in your skin. How far it reaches determines which cells it meets, and how those cells respond.
Red Light (630nm)
Reaches the deepest of our wavelengths to support your skin's natural collagen processes for a smoother, firmer-looking complexion.
Amber Light (590nm)
Helps refresh the look of tired, dull skin for a brighter, more even-looking tone.
Green Light (520nm)
Complements routines focused on balancing the look of oily skin and uneven tone.
Blue Light (470nm)
Works closest to the surface to support a clearer-looking complexion for blemish-prone skin.
Plus 3 combination modes on the LaserWave Face Masks: Purple (red + blue), Cyan (blue + green) and White (red + amber + blue) — 7 light colors in all.
How Red Light Supports Collagen
Collagen production naturally slows with age, which shows up as fine lines and a loss of firmness.
Red light reaches into the skin, where cells absorb it as energy for their natural collagen and elastin processes.
That added support helps reinforce the skin's structure from within.
Over time, skin looks firmer, smoother and more plump.

Frequently asked
Is light therapy safe to use every day?
Yes — our devices are designed for daily, at-home sessions and don't use UV light.
How long before I notice a difference?
Most people stay with a routine for several weeks before evaluating results, since skin renews gradually over time.
Can I use it with my other skincare products?
Generally yes — many people layer a serum underneath for the light to work alongside. Patch test new combinations first.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Light therapy is generally well tolerated, but anyone with a photosensitivity condition or on photosensitizing medication should check with a doctor first.
What's the difference between red and near-infrared light?
Red light works closer to the surface, while near-infrared reaches a bit deeper — our devices combine both so more skin layers are reached in one session.
