The Science of LUMA

Great skin starts beneath the surface.

Two science-backed steps: clinical light that reaches the deeper layers of skin, and the consistency to let it work. No needles, no downtime — just photobiomodulation, proven over decades.

01 · The basics

What is light therapy?

Also called photobiomodulation, it uses specific wavelengths of light to interact with the body at a cellular level.

Red light was first explored by NASA in the 1990s to support healing in space. Since then it's been the subject of hundreds of clinical studies — and today, FDA-cleared devices deliver those wavelengths safely with medical-grade LEDs.

02 · The mechanism

Why light therapy works.

Your cells respond to certain wavelengths by converting them into usable energy. That energy helps cells do what they already do — renew, repair, and restore — by supporting natural biological processes.

It's the same principle trusted by dermatologists, athletes, and estheticians alike — now engineered to fit on your face for ten minutes a day.

03 · The spectrum

Different light, different depths.

Each wavelength appears as a colour and reaches a different layer of skin — triggering a distinct, studied response.

How red & near-infrared light boost collagen.

1

Collagen declines

With age, collagen drops — causing fine lines and sagging.

2

Light penetrates

Red and near-infrared reach the cells that build collagen.

3

Structure rebuilds

New collagen strengthens the skin's framework from within.

4

Skin firms up

Over time, skin appears firmer, smoother, and more plump.

Setting it straight

Myth vs science.

The myth

"It's painful and needs recovery time."

"It's just a trend that won't actually work."

"It's complicated and needs a professional."

The science

Completely non-invasive, non-UV and pain-free — zero downtime.

Research shows it supports collagen and elastin for firmer skin.

Designed for home use — just switch it on and let the light work.

Questions

The science, simplified.

Completely safe for at-home use — lab-tested, dermatologist-approved and non-invasive. No pain, no irritation, just gentle warmth and light doing its job.

No. Regular bulbs don't deliver the specific, calibrated wavelengths your skin needs. They might set the mood — but they won't do much for your collagen.

With consistent use — at least three times a week — some people see changes in as little as four weeks. Most studies show more significant results around the eight-week mark.

No. Our devices are designed with eye safety in mind. If you're particularly sensitive to light, you can close your eyes or wear protective eyewear for added comfort.

Everyone's skin is different. We recommend a simple patch test before your first full session to confirm your skin is comfortable with light therapy.
