We use advanced technology from dermatology to develop our products. Read more about the technology and its benefits below.
Red light therapy
Red light therapy is a treatment that uses light with a wavelength of approximately 630 to 700 nanometers to treat the skin. It works by absorbing the energy of light and converting it into cell energy, improving the skin's ability to repair and renew. Several scientific studies have shown that red light therapy can be a powerful addition to the daily skin care routine. It stimulates collagen production, reduces wrinkles and fine lines, improves skin texture and tone. In addition, it reduces inflammation and irritation and promotes blood circulation, resulting in better absorption of nutrients and better removal of waste products. Red light therapy is safe and painless and therefore an excellent alternative to other treatments that carry many risks.
Red light therapy significantly improves skin quality, such as tone, roughness and collagen density, according to a controlled study with 136 participants. Click here for the research
A study with 31 participants showed that red light therapy led to improved skin conditions, including less sun-induced aging and wrinkles. Click here for the research.
A similar study showed that LED therapy is effective against sun and pigment spots in middle-aged participants. Click here for the research
A study shows that red light therapy is more effective than infrared light in treating acne. Click here for the research.
Microcurrent therapy
Microcurrent therapy is a safe and clinically proven treatment that uses mild, low-voltage electrical waves (300 microamps) to stimulate the facial muscles. This improves the elasticity and firmness of the skin, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, increases blood circulation and moisture in the skin and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. The treatment can be seen as a workout for the face. Microcurrent therapy is painless.
Microcurrent therapy provides significant benefits in reducing wrinkles, improving skin texture and achieving radiant, healthy skin. Click here for the research.
Microcurrent therapy has become a reliable and well-structured technology. Click here for the research.
Electrical stimulation can improve blood flow to the skin. This can improve the health of skin cells, make the skin look healthier or increase firmness.
One of the main benefits of microcurrent therapy is that it stimulates the facial muscles. Stimulating them can make the face look firmer and reduce visible signs of aging.
Blue light therapy
Blue light therapy is a proven effective and safe treatment for pimples. By delivering low levels of blue light (415 nanometers), it eliminates acne-causing bacteria and reduces sebum production, preventing new breakouts. It also helps reduce inflammation and heal wounds faster. The natural and painless treatment also improves the skin's texture by reducing fine lines and wrinkles. After just a few treatments, the appearance of mild to moderate breakouts can be reduced by more than 90%. By reducing the activity of sebaceous glands, this therapy can also improve the overall health of the skin and make it look fresher and more radiant.
Blockage of the sebaceous glands by the bacterium Propionibacterium acnes causes red spots, blisters and ultimately nodules and cysts. Blue light can kill this bacteria and promote the healing of acne wounds. Click here and here for the studies.
Blue light is anti-inflammatory and reduces the production of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1alpha). Click here for the research.
Therapeutic heat
Therapeutic heat provides several benefits to the skin. This form of therapy uses soothing heat to promote health and vitality and stimulate rejuvenation. An important advantage of this is that it stimulates blood circulation, resulting in better absorption of skin care products. In addition, it contributes to a feeling of relaxation and well-being. Applying therapeutic heat to the skin is a safe and painless method, using a temperature of approximately 37.8°C.
When heat is applied to the surface of the skin, it dilates blood vessels in a process called vasodilation. Blood circulation is then increased, resulting in improvement in color, reduction in inflammation and an overall "healthy" glow. Click here for the research
Facial massage
Facial massage offers numerous benefits for the skin. Applying gentle massage movements to the face stimulates blood circulation, giving the skin a healthy glow. It also promotes the removal of toxins and stimulates lymphatic drainage, which can contribute to the reduction of bags under the eyes and radiant skin. Facial massage can promote the production of collagen and elastin, which can make the skin firmer and more elastic. Additionally, relaxing the facial muscles helps reduce tension and stress, which can lead to a more youthful appearance.
A study has been conducted into the effectiveness of facial massage using a CT scan. Click here for the research.
