The Science Behind LED Light Therapy

At Lunevia Co., we believe skincare should be guided by science, innovation, and informed choices.

LED light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, is a non invasive skincare technology that uses specific wavelengths of light to interact with the skin. For decades, researchers have explored how different wavelengths may support natural skin processes and improve the appearance of concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and blemish prone skin.

Unlike traditional skincare products that mainly work on the surface, LED therapy uses targeted wavelengths of light designed to support the skin at a deeper level.

The Lunevia Co. LED Therapy Mask uses four targeted light modes:

• Red Light: 660nm
• Blue Light: 450nm
• Near Infrared Light: 850nm
• Purple Light: Red, Blue and Infrared Combination

Red & Near Infrared Light Therapy

660nm Red Light + 850nm Near Infrared Light

Red and near infrared light are among the most researched wavelengths within photobiomodulation.

Red light uses visible wavelengths, while near infrared light uses a longer wavelength that can penetrate deeper into the skin. Together, these wavelengths have been widely studied for their potential role in supporting skin rejuvenation.

Research has explored red and near infrared light therapy in relation to:

• The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Skin texture and firmness
• Skin elasticity
• Overall skin quality
• Visible signs of ageing

Studies suggest these wavelengths may support cellular activity and processes associated with skin renewal, making them a popular combination in professional and at home LED skincare devices.

Blue Light Therapy

450nm Blue Light

Blue light therapy has been widely researched for blemish prone skin, particularly in relation to acne vulgaris.

Research suggests blue wavelengths may interact with acne associated bacteria and may help improve the appearance of mild to moderate acne when used consistently.

Blue light is commonly used within LED skincare routines focused on supporting clearer looking skin.

Purple Light Therapy

Red + Blue + Near Infrared Combination

Purple light combines multiple wavelengths, including red, blue, and near infrared light.

Unlike red and blue light, purple light is not typically studied as its own individual wavelength because it is a combination of different light ranges. The research behind purple light comes from the individual wavelengths it contains.

The combined wavelengths are associated with different skincare benefits:

Red Light
Supports research into skin rejuvenation and visible signs of ageing.

Blue Light
Research focused on blemish prone skin and acne related concerns.

Near Infrared Light
Studied within photobiomodulation research for deeper skin interaction and overall skin support.

By combining multiple wavelengths, purple light provides a broader LED treatment approach designed to support a complete skincare routine.

Why Wavelengths Matter

Not all LED light is the same. The wavelength determines how light interacts with the skin, which is why specific nanometre ranges are used in professional LED devices.

The Lunevia Co. LED Therapy Mask uses wavelengths commonly researched within photobiomodulation:

• Red Light: 660nm
• Blue Light: 450nm
• Near Infrared Light: 850nm
• Purple Light: Combination wavelength mode

Our Approach

At Lunevia Co., we believe advanced skincare should be simple, accessible, and supported by science.

LED light therapy offers a convenient way to incorporate modern skincare technology into your everyday self care routine. When combined with consistency and a balanced skincare approach, LED therapy can become a valuable addition to your personal skincare ritual.
