The Red Light Science

The Science of Red Light Therapy

Think red light therapy is just for glowing skin? Think again. This hardworking, clinically proven treatment energises your body at a cellular level—enhancing mood, accelerating muscle recovery, and rejuvenating skin from the inside out.

Energy for your skin and body

Our cells are powered by mitochondria, the tiny but mighty energy factories that fuel everything from skin renewal to muscle strength. These mitochondria rely on Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) to function. But over time, stress, pollution, and ageing deplete ATP levels, leaving skin lacklustre and bodies fatigued. Red light therapy recharges these vital energy reserves, helping skin stay firm, radiant, and resilient while supporting overall vitality.

Why skin loves red light therapy

Unlike harsh acids or invasive treatments, red light therapy is a gentle yet powerful way to renew skin. It stimulates collagen production more effectively than microneedling - without the downtime. Ideal for all skin types, this painless, non-invasive treatment breathes life back into tired, stressed-out skin.

The red light effect

  • Boosts ATP Production
    Red and near-infrared light penetrate the skin, directly energising mitochondria and kickstarting ATP production. More ATP means increased collagen and elastin—leaving skin plumper, firmer, and visibly more youthful.
  • Revitalises Mitochondria
    Beyond surface-level benefits, red light therapy actively supports mitochondrial biogenesis, ensuring long-term skin health by improving cellular function at every level.
  • Combats Oxidative Stress
    Life takes a toll on skin, from UV exposure to environmental pollutants. Red light therapy strengthens the body’s natural antioxidant defences, shielding cells from damage and slowing premature ageing.

 

How light transforms skin

Different wavelengths of light penetrate to varying depths, each triggering unique skin benefits. The two most clinically proven and effective for anti-ageing are:

  • RED LIGHT (633nm)
    • Stimulates collagen production to support skin’s structure.
    • Brightens complexion and boosts cell turnover.
    • Energises dermal mitochondria for deep hydration and resilience.
  • NEAR-INFRARED (830nm)
    • Accelerates skin healing and reduces inflammation.
    • Calms irritation, evens skin tone, and restores balance.
    • Increases blood circulation for stronger, healthier skin.

The results?

  • Increased collagen for firmer, plumper skin.
  • Reduced fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation.
  • Faster recovery from irritation and inflammation.
  • A naturally radiant, hydrated complexion.

The next evolution in skincare

Red light therapy works deep within the skin—but what you apply during treatment makes all the difference. During red light therapy sessions, up to 60% of light can be reflected away before the skin absorbs it. We’ve developed a breakthrough solution: a photoactive skincare range designed to capture and redirect lost light, maximising results.

How it works

Inspired by nature’s most efficient light converters—plants and marine organisms—our skincare harnesses light-fluorescing botanical extracts. These intelligent ingredients absorb scattered red light and re-emit it at wavelengths the skin can use, amplifying collagen-boosting benefits.

Phototherapy in action

  1. Red Light (630nm) interacts with skin, but some is scattered. Our formula absorbs this and re-emits it as far-red.
  2. Far-Red Light (670nm) penetrates deeper but still reflects away. Our technology captures it, converting it into near-infrared.
  3. Near-Infrared Light (830nm) enhances circulation and repairs skin, but some energy is still lost—until our formula redirects it as far-infrared for prolonged healing benefits.

The result? A single red light treatment with our skincare acts as three, delivering deeper, longer-lasting rejuvenation. It’s what we call the ‘triple mask effect’.

Experience the future of skincare

We didn’t stop at just one innovation. Our complete range of photoactive skincare is designed to work in harmony with red light therapy—enhancing absorption, supercharging results, and delivering next-level skin transformation.
