What is LED light therapy?

LED (Light Emitting Diode) light therapy uses different wavelengths of light that penetrate deep into the skin to activate biological processes. Each color targets a specific skin concern: Source: Harvard Health Publishing

The Maxi Meilleur LED Facial Mask combines these four technologies in one treatment, allowing you to choose a treatment tailored to your skin type.

1. Red light (630 nm) Reduces fine lines and wrinkles

Ideal for: women aged 25-75 with wrinkles, fine lines or sagging skin

Red light stimulates fibroblasts in the skin to produce more collagen and elastin. This makes the skin firmer and smoother. Research published in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy shows that after eight weeks of use, red light significantly improves elasticity and reduces fine lines.

Ideal for: women with redness, rosacea or easily irritated skin.

Orange light has a calming effect on inflammation and helps strengthen the skin barrier. It improves microcirculation, which reduces redness and swelling. Clinical research shows that yellow light contributes to a more even complexion in sensitive skin types.
