Why Five Wavelengths? The Science Behind faceLITE PRO LED Light Therapy
LED skincare is often discussed as if all red light therapy is the same. It is not. Wavelength, intensity and treatment time all matter, and different wavelengths interact with the skin in different ways. faceLITE PRO was developed around that principle. Instead of relying on one or two wavelengths, the mask combines five targeted red and near-infrared wavelengths into a single 10-minute treatment. More than 25 years of LED light therapy experiencefaceLITE is powered by iSMART Developments, founded in 2018 by research scientist Sue D'Arcy. The team behind the brand brings more than 25 years of experience across medical, professional and consumer light therapy,...

faceLITE Reveals the Science Behind LED Masks and What Really Matters
The LED mask market is booming - but how do you separate the marketing noise from truly skin-transforming technology? According to Sue D’Arcy, CEO of iSMART (the parent company behind faceLITE and a leading global manufacturer of LED phototherapeutic devices), it all comes down to three vital factors: Wavelength, Intensity, and Dose. Get just one of these wrong, and your LED mask might not work, or worse, could even be unsafe. Wavelength Different wavelengths penetrate the skin to different depths, targeting specific cells and chromophores (the parts of molecules that absorb light). If the wavelength is incorrect, the light won't...
