In the world of advanced skincare, innovations continue to redefine what’s possible when it comes to achieving healthy, radiant skin. One such breakthrough is the use of 850nm light, a near-infrared (NIR) wavelength, in LED light therapy. Recognised for its exceptional ability to promote skin recovery and rejuvenation, 850nm light has become a key feature in next-generation skincare tools like the Lumière™ LED Mask. But what makes this wavelength so special? Let’s dive into the science and benefits.
What Is 850nm Light Therapy?
850nm refers to the wavelength of light emitted in the near-infrared spectrum, which is invisible to the naked eye but highly effective in penetrating deeper layers of the skin. Unlike visible light, which primarily impacts the surface of the skin, 850nm light reaches the dermis and subdermal tissues, making it ideal for addressing concerns beneath the surface.
This wavelength has been widely studied for its therapeutic properties, particularly in accelerating tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and boosting overall cellular function. Incorporating 850nm light into post-care treatments enhances the skin’s natural recovery process while providing a host of additional benefits.
Key benefits of 850nm light for post-aesthetic procedure skin Recovery
1. Deeper skin penetration
Compared to the commonly used 830nm wavelength, 850nm light penetrates deeper into the skin, reaching tissues that require more intensive support. This depth allows for more effective stimulation of cellular activity, particularly in the mitochondria, which are the energy powerhouses of our cells.
2. Boosts cellular energy
One of the primary effects of 850nm light is the stimulation of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production. ATP is essential for cellular repair and regeneration. By boosting cellular energy, 850nm light helps skin cells recover faster from damage caused by treatments, environmental stressors, or aging.
3. Improves blood circulation
Near-infrared light at 850nm improves microcirculation in the skin, ensuring that oxygen and nutrients are efficiently delivered to cells while waste products are removed. This enhanced circulation not only accelerates healing but also leaves the skin looking healthier and more vibrant.
4. Supports the lymphatic system
850nm light promotes lymphatic drainage, helping to reduce puffiness, swelling, and toxins in the skin. This makes it particularly beneficial after clinical treatments like microneedling, chemical peels, or laser therapy, as it reduces downtime and enhances overall results.
5. Reduces inflammation
Inflammation is a natural response to skin treatments, but prolonged inflammation can hinder recovery and lead to unwanted side effects. The 850nm wavelength helps to calm and soothe the skin, reducing redness, irritation, and swelling for a smoother healing process.
6. Stimulates collagen production
Collagen is the foundation of youthful, firm skin. By stimulating fibroblasts in the dermis, 850nm light encourages the production of new collagen and elastin fibers, leading to improved skin elasticity and texture over time.
Why choose 850nm over 830nm?
While 830nm light is effective, 850nm has been shown to offer enhanced benefits due to its deeper penetration and stronger cellular activation. By reaching areas that 830nm light cannot, it provides more comprehensive results, especially for post-care treatments and long-term skin rejuvenation.
