The Science

Red light therapy — researchers call it photobiomodulation — is a well-studied field. Different colours of light are associated with different things for the skin. LUMA offers seven, with three at its heart.

red · 630nm

The visible glow — the wavelength most associated with radiance and the look of fine lines. (It sits right in the most-studied red range.)

blue · 460nm

For the appearance of clearer, calmer, fresher skin.

green · 520nm

For an even, refreshed-looking tone.

Plus four more colours and combinations, with five intensity levels to ease into.

what light can — and can't — do

Light therapy is gentle and gradual, and it rewards consistency. We talk in terms of how your skin looks — more radiant, refreshed, smoother. What it can't do: replace your sunscreen, fix deep concerns overnight, or work if it lives in a drawer. We'd rather tell you that now.
