Red Light 101

Your guide to understanding how light can help your skin look its best.

What Is Light Therapy?

Light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to encourage your skin’s natural repair processes.
Different colours reach different depths in the skin and create different effects:

  • Red Light (around 630 nm) – Stimulates collagen production to smooth fine lines, boost firmness, and improve overall skin texture.
  • Near-Infrared (NIR) Light (around 800–850 nm) – Travels deeper to calm inflammation, support healing, and promote skin repair.
  • Far Infrared (around 1000–1070 nm) – Penetrates even further to support circulation and overall skin rejuvenation.
  • Blue Light (around 415 nm) – Targets the surface of the skin to kill acne-causing bacteria and reduce breakouts.
  • Amber/Yellow Light (around 590 nm) – Brightens and revitalises dull skin while boosting radiance.

These wavelengths are safe, non-invasive, and backed by years of clinical research.

Why At-Home Masks Work

In-clinic LED facials are amazing — but they can cost over $100 per session and usually require a course of treatments.
At-home masks give you the same technology in a convenient routine.
Short, consistent sessions add up to lasting results.

Why Some Masks Cost More

Not all light therapy masks are created equal.
Key factors that influence performance and price include:

  • Light Intensity (irradiance): Higher power delivers more energy in less time.
  • Number & Quality of Diodes: More lights and premium chips give better coverage and faster results.
  • Technology & Modes: Advanced masks combine multiple colours, add pulsing options, or include deeper-penetrating NIR/FIR wavelengths.
  • Safety & Certification: Premium devices meet international standards (FDA, CE, TGA, IEC) for peace of mind.
  • Build Quality & Comfort: From integrated eye shields to wireless controllers, better design makes every session easier.
  • Materials: Premium masks use medical-grade, food-grade silicone that is soft, flexible, and hypoallergenic.
    This ensures a comfortable fit, easy cleaning, and long-term durability compared to lower-cost plastics or basic silicone blends.

 In short: lower-cost masks are gentle and take longer, while premium masks deliver clinic-level results in less time.

How To Use Your Mask

  • Prep: Start with clean, dry skin and avoid strong actives like retinol just before use.
  • Session Length: Typically 10–15 minutes, depending on your mask.
  • Frequency: 3–5 times per week is a sweet spot; some lower-powered masks can be used daily.
  • After Care: Follow with your favourite serum or moisturiser to lock in benefits.
  • Check First: If you’re pregnant, photosensitive, or have an active skin condition, consult a doctor before use.

What Results To Expect

  • Weeks 1–4: Skin looks brighter, calmer, and more hydrated.
  • Weeks 8–12: Collagen renewal softens fine lines and improves firmness.
  • Ongoing: Consistency keeps building results — think of it as long-term skin health, not a quick fix.

LED vs Laser

LED light spreads gently across the skin, making it ideal for at-home use.
Laser light is more focused and powerful, used mainly in clinics for targeted treatments.
Some advanced masks combine LED with low-level lasers to reach deeper layers safely, but all TSII Beauty devices are designed for cosmetic use only.
