How does light therapy work ?
Just as plants use sunlight to grow, our bodies also respond to light. In fact, certain wavelengths of light (colors), specifically red and near-infrared, can help skin cells function more efficiently, repair themselves more effectively, and maintain a healthier, more resilient appearance.
What is Red light therapy ?
Red light therapy, also known as photo biomodulation, is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate your skin at the cellular level.
Rather than using heat, chemicals, or abrasion, it works by gently encouraging your body’s natural processes, particularly those involved in repair, collagen production, and inflammation reduction.
How does it work ?
The science is well established, but here’s a straightforward explanation:
1. Light reaches the lower layers of your skin. Red (around 630–660nm) and near-infrared (810–850nm) wavelengths penetrate the skin without causing harm or heat.
2. Your skin cells absorb the light
Inside each cell are mitochondria — the parts of the cell responsible for producing energy. These mitochondria absorb the light like solar panels.
3. Energy production increases
The mitochondria begin to convert the energy to ATP, the molecule that powers cellular activity. With more ATP, your skin has the resources it needs to renew and repair.
4. Your skin gradually improves
More energy means better collagen production, reduced inflammation, improved circulation, and overall healthier skin function over time.
What makes red light therapy unique?
• It’s non-invasive and painless
• It works with your skin, not against it
• It’s supported by decades of clinical research
• It’s suitable for all skin types and tones
Originally studied by NASA for wound healing in space, red light therapy has now become a respected tool in dermatology and wellness.
A thoughtful approach to skin health
Light therapy doesn’t promise overnight transformation. It offers something deeper: a consistent, gentle way to support your skin’s natural ability to renew, repair, and thrive. It’s not about chasing youth, it’s about caring for yourself in a way that feels aligned, intelligent, and rooted in science.
⚠️ Safety & Responsable use
Red light therapy is safe for all skin tones and types when used as directed. But like any skincare device, it should be used with care and consistency—not excess. Before starting treatment, we recommend a quick light sensitivity test: apply the mask for 10 minutes on a small area. If you experience redness, itching, or irritation that lingers, pause use and consult a dermatologist.
For best results, always apply Juveo’s mask to clean, dry skin—no makeup, no active skincare products like retinol, acids, or exfoliants immediately beforehand. These can increase sensitivity and may interfere with light absorption.
Expect your skin to look slightly flushed or warm after use—that’s normal and should fade within an hour or two. But if you feel burning or discomfort during the session, stop immediately. Juveo is designed for comfort and safety, so any pain is a signal something’s off.
🚫 Do Not Use If:
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have photosensitive skin or are taking medications that increase light sensitivity.
- You have a diagnosed skin condition like lupus, albinism, or photosensitive eczema—unless approved by your healthcare provider.
FAQ
Is this like a tanning bed ?
No. Tanning beds use UV light, which can damage skin over time. Red light therapy uses non UV wavelengths that support healing, not tanning.
Does it feel warm or tingly ?
No heat is involved. Most users report feeling nothing during use, though some experience a sense of calm or slight warmth.
How long before i notice a difference ?
Most individuals begin to see visible improvements after 3 to 4 weeks of consistent use. Like fitness or nutrition, results build over time with regular practice.
