Collagen Production, Skin and Wrinkles

Blue light has been shown to help with acne, however it should be used in moderation because it also prematurely ages skin. For this reason our Hero Series red light therapy masks have a blue light option which is not on by default, so you can use it only when you want to.

• 415 nm Blue and 830 nm NIR LED Combination for Moderate Acne
  
  A trial on patients with moderate acne vulgaris using combined 415 nm blue and 830 nm near-infrared LED therapy showed notable reductions in acne lesions, inflammation, and scarring, improving skin health safely as a non-invasive option.

• 415 nm Blue LED and Mixed Blue/Red Light for Acne Treatment
  
  In a study with 107 patients with mild to moderate acne, treatments twice a week for 15 minutes using 415 nm blue LED light alone reduced inflammatory lesions by 25% after 5 weeks, while combined blue and 660 nm red light cut them by 76% over 12 weeks, making skin clearer with fewer pimples and no side effects.

• Self-Applied 415 nm Blue LED Therapy for Mild-to-Moderate Acne
  
  Thirty adults with mild-to-moderate acne used a handheld blue LED device at 415 nm twice daily for 4 weeks, resulting in a significant 50% drop in acne spots by week 8, with continued improvement up to 12 weeks, offering an easy, at-home way to clear skin without irritation.

• 415 nm Blue LED with Red Light for Inflammatory Acne
  
  Reviewing multiple studies, combining 415 nm blue LED light (which kills acne-causing bacteria) with red light effectively reduced inflammatory acne pimples by targeting bacteria and soothing skin, leading to clearer complexions with minimal treatments.
  

HeroMask Elite and Core have an optional 415nm blue light setting

• 630 nm LED Mask Reduces Wrinkles and Boosts Collagen in Aging Skin
  
  Twenty women aged 45–70 used a mask emitting 630 nm red LED light for 12 minutes twice a week over 3 months, leading to up to 38% less wrinkle depth around the eyes, 48% more dermal density from increased collagen, and smoother, healthier skin with fewer pores and lasting benefits.

• 630 nm LED Home Mask Improves Crow’s Feet Wrinkles and Skin Health
  
  In a 12-week trial with 60 adults, a home-use mask with 630 nm red LED and 850 nm infrared light applied for 9 minutes five times a week reduced crow’s feet wrinkles by over 69%, stimulated new collagen production, and was safe, painless, and effective for skin rejuvenation.

• 630 nm LED Neck Device Enhances Skin Elasticity and Reduces Wrinkles
  
  Seventy participants used a home LED neck device with 630 nm and 850 nm light daily for 12 weeks, achieving 77% improvement in neck wrinkles, better collagen synthesis for firmer skin, and overall healthier appearance, with no side effects or thyroid issues.

• 630 nm LED Protects Skin Collagen from UV Damage
  
  In hairless mice exposed to UV radiation, pretreatment with 630 nm red LED light preserved collagen fiber density and arrangement, reduced skin thickening and inflammation, and enhanced overall skin barrier health, suggesting benefits for anti-aging and wrinkle prevention.

Note: There is a practical overlap between 630nm and 633nm red light, however we have chosen 633nm for the HeroMask Elite because it is used more in LED face mask skin health research.

• 660 nm LED Boosts Collagen and Reduces Wrinkles
  
  In lab tests and a trial on people with aged skin, pulsed 660 nm LED light treatments increased collagen levels by 31% and lowered wrinkle-causing enzymes by 18%, resulting in smoother skin and reduced wrinkles for over 90% of participants.

• 660 nm LED Reduces Crow’s Feet Wrinkles by 30%
  
  A study with 137 women aged 40–65 found that 10 sessions of 660 nm red LED light over 4 weeks cut periocular wrinkle volume by 31.6%, improving skin appearance and life quality without affecting hydration or elasticity.

• 611–650 nm LED (Including 660 nm Range) Increases Collagen Density
  
  In a trial with 113 participants, treatments with red light in the 611–650 nm range (practical overlap with 660 nm) twice weekly for 15 weeks boosted intradermal collagen density, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, and improved skin roughness and complexion safely.

• 660 nm LED Modulates Collagen in Tissue-Engineered Skin
  
  Using a 3D human skin model, 660 nm LED light at 4 J/cm² upregulated collagen and downregulated MMP-1, leading to better skin texture; a related clinical trial showed over 90% reduction in wrinkle depth and roughness.

• 830 nm and 633 nm LED Phototherapy Effective for Skin Rejuvenation
  
  In a randomized, double-blinded study with patients seeking anti-aging treatment, combined 830 nm near-infrared and 633 nm red LED light treatments over several sessions reduced wrinkles by up to 36%, improved skin elasticity by 19%, and increased collagen and elastic fibers, leading to firmer, healthier skin.

• Combined 633 nm and 830 nm LED Improves Skin Texture and Wrinkles
  
  Thirty-one participants received nine treatments of 633 nm red and 830 nm near-infrared LED light over five weeks, resulting in 52% achieving 25–50% better photoaging scores, 81% noticing significant reduction in periorbital wrinkles, and overall smoother, softer skin.

• 640 nm and 830 nm LED Home Mask Boosts Collagen and Reduces Wrinkles
  
  In a 12-week trial with 60 adults using a home LED mask emitting 640 nm red and 830 nm near-infrared light for 9 minutes five times a week, crow’s feet wrinkles decreased by over 69%, collagen synthesis increased, and skin appeared healthier and more rejuvenated without side effects.

• 633 nm, 830 nm, and 1072 nm LED Mask Rejuvenates Male Skin
  
  In a 6-week home-use study on men, an LED face mask with 633 nm red, 830 nm near-infrared, and 1072 nm light improved fine lines, wrinkles, skin texture, pores, and spots, with participants reporting a more youthful appearance and healthier skin.

• 1072 nm LED (with 633 nm and 830 nm) Rejuvenates Male Skin
  
  In a 6-week home-use study on men, an LED face mask emitting 633 nm red, 830 nm near-infrared, and 1072 nm light improved fine lines, wrinkles, skin texture, pores, and spots, with participants reporting a more youthful appearance and healthier skin through increased collagen implied by better firmness.

• 1072 nm Light Reduces Wrinkles and Fine Lines in Self-Reported Trial
  
  In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, participants applied 1072 nm light daily around the eyes for 6–8 weeks, with 52–57% accurately identifying improvements in fine lines and wrinkles, and 37–46% noting reduced bags under the eyes, demonstrating efficacy for anti-aging skin health.

• 1072 nm LED Improves Skin Texture in RCT
  
  A double-blind, placebo-controlled RCT with 79 patients using daily 1072 nm LED near-infrared light for 3 minutes over 8–10 weeks showed 52% improvement in skin texture (vs. 20% placebo), supporting benefits for wrinkles and overall skin health through enhanced collagen density.
