Less wrinkling in 4 weeks
76 adults used red, near-infrared, both, or a sham light twice a week. The real-light groups showed less wrinkling and better elasticity than sham.

The 60-second science
1%
of skin collagen lost each year of adult life
The slow leak nobody sees
Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body, and it’s what keeps skin firm and springy. Researchers measuring skin of different ages found collagen content falls by roughly 1% a year across adult life.
Red and near-infrared light have been studied for nudging the cells that make collagen, called fibroblasts. That’s the job this mask is built for.
Think of it like this
Collagen is the rebar inside the concrete of your skin. You never see it. You see what happens when there’s less of it.

What the studies measured
Red and near-infrared LEDs on your face, studied over weeks of regular sessions.
Firmness
Collagen density, measured
In a 136-person trial, red light sessions raised collagen density on ultrasound compared with controls.

No holding a device, no moving it around. Put it on, sit back, and read, listen or just close your eyes.
Session guide includedHow it works
Two wavelengths, two depths
Light between roughly 650 and 1,350 nanometers sits in the body’s optical window: the range where blood and water absorb the least, so light travels the furthest. Longer wavelengths reach deeper.
660NM · RED
Absorbed in the top layers of skin. The wavelength used in most skin studies.
850NM · NEAR-IR
Invisible to you, and it travels further into tissue, toward muscle and joints.

Myth vs truth
What most people get wrong about red light
Myth
Light masks are for acne.
Truth
Blue light is the acne color. The skin-aging studies use red and near-infrared, which is what this mask is built around.
Lee et al. · J Photochem Photobiol B · 2007Myth
If 20 minutes is good, an hour is better.
Truth
Light follows a biphasic dose response: too little does nothing, the right dose helps, and too much can cancel the benefit. It’s watering a plant, not filling a pool. Use the timer.
Huang et al. · Dose-Response · 2009Myth
You’ll see it after one session.
Truth
Skin rebuilds on a schedule of weeks, not hours. The trials measured their results after 4 to 15 weeks of regular sessions. Consistency is the whole game.

The research
Named studies, not percentages
Every claim on this page points to a published paper. Here they are.
LED light and facial wrinkles
Adults with facial wrinkles used red (633 nm), near-infrared (830 nm), both, or a sham light for 4 weeks. The real-light groups showed less wrinkling and better elasticity than sham.
Lee et al. · Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B · 2007Whole-body red light and skin collagen
Full-body red light units, twice a week for 30 sessions. Skin complexion and roughness improved, and ultrasound measured higher collagen density than in the control group.
Wunsch & Matuschka · Photomedicine and Laser Surgery · 2014Collagen falls with age
Measured skin collagen in adults of different ages and found it declines by roughly 1% a year across adult life.
Shuster, Black & McVitie · British Journal of Dermatology · 1975The enzyme that absorbs red light
Cytochrome c oxidase, part of the energy chain inside your mitochondria, absorbs red and near-infrared light and changes how the cell makes energy.

Questions
Do I use it before or after skincare?
Use it on clean, dry skin. Apply serums and moisturizer after the session.
Is it safe for my eyes?
The light is bright up close. Wear the included goggles, or keep your eyes closed when your face is lit.
How often should I use it?
Three to five sessions a week. Start on a low intensity level and let the timer end the session.
Can I use it with sensitive skin?
The light is low-level and the mask is soft silicone. Start on a lower intensity and shorter sessions, and stop if anything feels uncomfortable.
How do I clean it?
Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth after use. Never put it in the washer or submerge it.
Can I return it?
Yes. Start a return within 30 days of delivery by emailing info@tharsyn.com. The refund policy has the conditions.
