If there’s one thing both women and men are trying to achieve, it’s turning back the hands of time. This explains why the anti-aging industry is projected to be worth $83.2 billion by 2027. With anti-aging on everyone’s mind, people are looking for the best ways to maintain their youthful glow and complexion.
That said, many people interested in investing in anti-aging products are looking for non-invasive options that won’t require six weeks of post-surgical recovery time or monthly injections. While invasive options are anti-aging solutions, light therapy is an overlooked and underrated anti-aging therapy treatment in the skincare industry.
Light therapy uses varying wavelengths of light, emitting them onto the skin. The light penetrates through the layers of the skin, stimulating cellular regeneration and heals damaged tissues. While highly noted for its effectiveness for collagen production and tissue repair, it’s also ideal for reducing damage from acne, and eliminating wrinkles, inflammation, and age spots.
While there are various light therapy devices on the market, some are standing out among the rest. Aduro's highly-rated 7+1 facial mask, eyewear, and handheld devices help combat skin imperfections and reduce aging signs.
Aduro's light therapy uses different color and color combinations to target various skin conditions. In the 7+1 facial mask, each color offers a different treatment:
Red: increases collagen production for fuller and younger looking skin.
Blue: eliminates acne-casuing bacteria and reduces the appearance of acne.
Green: balances the skin’s complexion.
Yellow: reduces redness from inflammation and rosacea.
Orange: revitalizes the skin and adds glow.
Cyan: calms and soothes irritated skin.
Purple: promotes cell rejuvenation.
Infrared: amplifies desired results.
Users can either opt for one specific color or a combination of colors to tackle their skin’s needs.
“I originally purchased it to calm down my acne problem. And I am not getting any younger so all other lights, including wrinkle reducer will be a great help for my skin. The mask isn't heavy to wear. You can wear it while you are meditating, doing sit-down exercises and or other stuff.”
-Sandra G., verified buyer
As most people have more than one skin condition they’d like to treat, light therapy provides an all-in-one treatment for your clients. The 7+1 facial mask is intended for professional use, and gives equal coverage to the entire face. However, for clients looking for spot treatment on specific areas, handheld and eyewear devices can provide targeted treatment to areas with redness, inflammation, and discomfort.
“I purchased this for a recent flare of roceacea I got from using too many ordinary acids on my skin. I stripped the skin barrier and ended up with redness and red spots. I use the green, orange and blue and violet colour each morning for 1 minute each and notice skin evenness and definite reduction in roceacea I also use it after microneedling and it calm the red down.”

When it comes to anti-aging remedies, celebrities are at the forefront of all the latest treatments. For years, Hollywood’s elite have opted for chemically-induced anti-aging treatments, like botox and chemical facial peels. But it looks like Hollywood is stepping away from harsh treatments, particularly with the prominence of clean and holistic beauty trends in recent years. Now, many celebrities have decided to avoid the needles and knives, opting for natural alternatives, instead.
To prepare for red carpet events, celebrities are flocking to red light therapy for natural, non-invasive anti-aging treatments. Kourtney Kardashian, true to Kardashian form, was relatively early to the red light therapy scene in 2016, when she posted a photo of herself in wearing a red-light mask, touting the many anti-aging benefits of the treatment. Since then, other celebrities such as Kelly Rowland, Emma Stone, and Chrissy Teigen have openly shared their positive experiences using red and blue light facial therapy treatment.
Some actresses love red light therapy so much, they have their own equipment set-up in their homes. Back in 2018, Olivia Munn told US, "I have my own facial set up, I've got the professional-grade products and machines...But one of the best things is the red and blue light mask."
Red light therapy works by increasing blood flow and oxygen, feeding the cells the necessary energy they need to speed up the cellular process. This process helps decrease inflammation and enhance collagen production, which reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for tighter and supple skin.
Jewelry designer and reality T.V. star Kristin Cavallari told US that she keeps away from Botox, but shared that
"I use red light therapy twice a week to prevent lines and wrinkles."
But red light therapy isn’t only for wrinkles and fine lines. Celebrities are expanding the use of red light therapy and using it for their entire bodies. Why? Well, house-friendly red light devices help treat inflammation, joint pain, and muscle soreness.
Ara Suppiah, M.D., an assistant professor at the University of Central Florida Medical School and an emergency and sports medicine physician, told Us Weekly that “increased energy within a muscle cell allows it to contract harder and repair itself after training.” Since red light increases cell energy, it subsequently helps organs, joints, and muscles to repair themselves and function optimally.
The list of celebrities who swear by red light therapy continues to grow by the day. Joan Smalls and Bella Hadid visit celeb aesthetician Joanna Czech, who is well-known for using her light treatments on her clients. Riverdale’s Lili Reinhart and Camila Mendes also posted photos from Joanna Vargas’ red light bed.
So, it’s clear that the verdict is in: celebrities are loving red light therapy and the multiple external and internal benefits that come along with it. But do you need to undergo expensive treatments to get a taste of the benefits? Nope! You don’t need to be a celebrity status to enjoy the benefits of red light therapy - even in the comfort of your home.
Luckily, red light therapy is now available for in-home treatment with Lunas’ FDA and MDA-approved red light therapy devices. By having a red light therapy device in your home, we can all attain our own red-carpet glow without the celebrity price tag.

When we talk about skincare, we usually don’t think about customizing skincare products. The options available on the market are produced for the masses rather than for the individual. Many people with multiple skin issues struggle to find skincare products that truly speaks to their needs. However, light therapy masks can be customized to fit the individual customer’s needs.
If you’re working in the skincare industry, light therapy devices are a revolutionary step forward, as you’ll be able to provide your customers with a unique light therapy mask.
But what’s the process of creating a custom light therapy mask? Here are the six steps you need to consider when developing a customized light therapy mask.
The Six Steps to Create Your Custom Led Mask
While going through these six steps, keep your vision of your mask in mind. This will help you answer some of the questions that are going to be asked below.
What’s your Goal?
It would help if you determined your product’s goals. Who are your clients? What are their unique skincare challenges? By understanding the basics, you’ll help your company determine the right strategy when creating your customized product. Light therapy masks can be made using different LED colors for a full range of beauty treatments, including acne reduction, anti-aging treatment, and collagen production.
What Material will you Use?
You need to select the right material. Facial masks can be made from a variety of materials, each with its own advantages and versatility. There are three types of light therapy masks to consider: flexible, semi-hard, and hard.
Flexible allows users to wear it while doing their daily activities. The patented air cushions and emitting SMD LEDs are ideal for indoor and daily skincare. Semi-hard masks are for professional use and have a hard shell, while soft inside. Hard masks are powerful facial masks for professional use and come with selectable light area options. They offer a deeper light therapy experience for clients.
What Kind of Shape will your Mask be in?
Light therapy masks don’t have to come in a traditional one-size-fits-all design. Depending on your target market, you’ll be able to choose where the placement for the cheeks, forehead, and eyes will be on the mask. This gives you more control over how the mask will fit on your client’s face.
What Areas Will your Mask Treat?
A traditional mask will cover the full face. However, you may not necessarily want your mask to provide full coverage. Consider the areas of the face you’d like to treat, as you may only want to create a mask for a specific target area.
Apply for a Prototype
You’ve answered all the questions above and have a vision of how you want your mask to look. From here, we help you take your vision and use our creativity and 14 years of experience in the industry to create a mask that fits your goals.
Launch & Listen
Now that the product is created, it’s time to launch it. Before the launch, we produce pre-pilot quantities that allow us to fine-tune our devices and ensure high-quality from start to finish.
Creating a light therapy facial mask is one thing, but you want to make sure it’s achieving your goals and making your customers happy. Once your product is launched, it’s crucial to monitor product performance and listen to customer feedback.
Naturally, you don’t want your light therapy mask to be like all the others on the market. Our masks are MDA-certified and FDA-approved light therapy devices, ensuring you medical-grade quality devices for your business.
When summer rolls around, we all head outside, absorbing as many rays as we can. And the proof is in the numbers, with the top five summertime activities being barbeques, going to the beach, attending festivals, going for a hike, and exploring nature. When the sun comes out, people flock to the outdoors with good reason. We need the sun’s rays to survive.
However, many of us go a little overboard. Some lather on tanning oil or skip sunscreen to make sure we receive as much pigmentation as possible. And yes, we need vitamin D, but overexposure leads to sun damage, including sunspots and wrinkles.
However, it doesn’t end there. Neglectful sun exposure can also lead to skin cancer. While the damage has already been done from years of sunbathing and tanning oils, there are ways we can repair sun-damaged skin, reduce wrinkles and sunspots.
It can help repair the sun damage done to our skin and turn back the clock with red light therapy.
What is Sun Damage?
In the end, skin damage comes from overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. When we sunbathe, our skin naturally responds to the sun by protecting itself from UV light. What does our body do? Well, it produces melanin, which darkens the skin to reflect the UV light. So your summer tan is actually a defense mechanism. There are a few different types of sun damage to be aware of:
Melasma: It’s an overproduction of melanin that causes brown or gray patches to form on the skin.
Wrinkles: UV light breaks down the collagen and elastin in the skin, losing its firmness and causing wrinkles.
Sunburn: Sunburns are an inflammatory reaction to UV radiation damage to the skin. The body responds by repairing or removing the damaged cells, which results in redness and peeling.
Sun Spots: Overexposure to UV rays causes an increase of melanin production that builds up in clusters, producing dark spots on the skin.
Actinic Keratosis (AK): Causes a scaly patch of skin on the body from overexposure to UV light. This is particularly dangerous as around 10% of actinic keratosis becomes cancerous.
How Red Light Therapy Reverses Sun Damage
If you’re wondering whether sun damage is reversible or not, the answer is yes. Red light therapy uses infrared and red light to enhance the body’s healing process. Red light therapy increases the body’s collagen, elastin, and immune response; it can remove and repair dead or damaged skin cells.
By increasing collagen production, it’ll help smooth and firm the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Besides, red light therapy also protects existing collagen, which helps keep the skin’s elasticity.
However, red light therapy doesn’t only reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It can also help with more serious skin conditions such as actinic keratosis. It can aid in removing actinic keratosis spots from the skin with photosensitizing medication and red light therapy.
Sun damage is the main cause of aging skin and can lead to serious health issues. Naturally, some sun damage forms cannot be treated, especially for those who work consistently outdoors. However, tackling sunspots, wrinkles, sunburns, and actinic keratosis is achievable through red light therapy treatment.
It’s important to point out that while red light therapy does reverse sun damage, it can prevent future damage — but you should always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen when outdoors and reapply after swimming or sweating.
Reversing past mistakes are possible with light therapy, but we also want to look at the future. Luna’s red light therapy will tackle previous sun damage and rejuvenate the skin, while sunscreen will prevent future damage.
We hope you continue to enjoy the sun’s incredible rays safely while enjoying the incredible skincare results of Lunas light panels.
A popularity boom has occurred over red light therapy, especially on social media, which has brought more attention to this form of treatment and more skeptics.
However, LED light therapy isn't a new invention; it's been around for centuries. The U.S. Navy SEAL even started using light therapy to aid in healing wounds and muscle regeneration.
Since then, light therapy has been researched for its various effects, most notably for its non-invasive capabilities in the skincare industry.
Light therapy comes in different wavelengths and light depending on the desired treatment. These wavelengths can come in red, blue, purple, amber, or green light, which do not contain UV rays that are easily absorbed into the skin.
In comparison to ultraviolet rays, which are cancer-causing and damages the skin's DNA, red light therapy "is perfectly safe," said Dr. Susan Bard, board-certified New York dermatologist.
When undergoing red light therapy, no tanning or burning of the skin will occur. Its effects happen at the cellular level, rather than the surface level.
All living organisms need to produce ATP cellular energy to function and survive, meaning all organisms rely on natural light to power their bodies. Red and near-infrared wavelengths stimulate the cells' mitochondria - the cell's powerhouse - which takes the oxygen, light, and food we eat, turning it into energy for our bodies.
Red light therapy has been proven to treat or improve the following:
Michael R. Hamblin, Ph.D., principal investigator at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and associate professor of dermatology at Harvard Medical School said, “The number of conditions red light can treat is ‘continuously expanding.”
Light therapy transports safe, non-pharmaceutical concentrated wavelengths of natural light into your body's cells without the use of excessive heat or UV rays. Red and near-infrared wavelengths of light stimulate the cell's mitochondria, reducing oxidative stress and increasing circulation, allowing your body to create more natural energy.
At Kaiyan Medical, we believe in the power of light and healing without chemicals. With our light therapy devices, we achieve in making you the best version of yourself.
