The Right Mode for Your Skin: LED Light Therapy by Concern

June 25, 2025

Understanding the Science Behind LED Light Therapy

LED light therapy is no longer reserved for dermatology clinics. Thanks to medical-grade home devices like Lumnae, science-backed skincare is now elegantly woven into your daily routine. But how does it actually work?

Light Wavelengths and Skin Depth

Each wavelength of light travels to a different layer of your skin, stimulating specific biological responses:

Blue (415nm): Reaches the outermost layer – fights acne-causing bacteria.
Yellow (590nm): Penetrates mid-dermis – reduces redness, evens out tone.
Red (660nm): Goes deeper – stimulates collagen and elastin.
Near-Infrared (850nm): Deepest penetration – encourages repair, boosts circulation.

The Lumnae Difference: Precision and Power

Irradiance & LED Distribution Explained

Lumnae masks use 488 medical-grade LEDs across 122 bulbs, delivering an impressive irradiance of 15 to 45 mW/cm² depending on the mode and level. That’s the sweet spot dermatologists trust for visible results without damaging the skin.

What Makes Lumnae Modes Special?

With 6 smart modes and adjustable brightness (50%, 75%, 100%), Lumnae offers tailored treatments for different skin concerns in just 10 minutes per session.

Recommended Modes by Skin Concern

Customizing Your Routine

Adjust Brightness depending on skin sensitivity (choose between 50%, 75%, or 100%)
Use Pulse Mode for a rhythmic light delivery that mimics professional-grade pulsing. This mode intermittently turns the light on and off during the session, which can reduce heat buildup and improve comfort — especially for sensitive skin. Pulsed light also enhances skin cell responsiveness, potentially boosting absorption and overall treatment effectiveness without overstimulation.
Always clean skin first, and follow with moisturizer or SPF

FAQs

1. How often should I use the mask?
Use it 3–5 times a week for best results, starting on lower brightness.

2. Can I use skincare during sessions?
No. Only cleanse your skin before using the mask. Do not apply any skincare products — even light serums — during the session, as they can block the light. After your session, always follow with moisturizer and SPF.

3. What brightness should I start with?
Start at 50%, especially for sensitive skin or Repair Mode.

4. How soon can I see results?
Many users notice a glow after a few sessions. Full benefits show after 4–6 weeks.

5. Can I use multiple modes in a week?
Absolutely. Alternate modes based on your skin's changing needs.
