Wavelengths
Red vs Blue vs Near-Infrared: What the Wavelengths Mean
Red light (around 630nm) is the classic cosmetic wavelength for the appearance of fine lines; blue light (around 415nm) is used in devices intended for blemish-prone skin; near-infrared (around 830nm) is invisible to the eye and appears in masks aimed at firmness appearance. What each one is actually used for — and what no wavelength can do.

Regulation

Editorial Methodology
How we research
Luxeluma’s recommendations are built from published specifications — the wavelengths, session times, and clearance status manufacturers state in their own documentation.
Specs, not impressions
We report manufacturer-stated wavelengths, treatment times, and FDA clearance status. We do not claim hands-on testing we haven’t done, and we never invent test results.
Cosmetic language only
These are cosmetic devices, not medical treatments. We describe them as designed to improve the appearance of skin — never as cures, treatments, or therapies for any condition.
No sponsored placements
Rankings and matches are never sold. If a manufacturer relationship ever exists, it will be disclosed in the article itself — not buried in a footer.
