All about LED

A range of wearable, professional LED devices and skincare, for use at home, in salons and clinics.

Our Boost Devices are made to medical device directives and deliver the same clinically proven wavelengths as our prestigious professional salon machines – a real USP.

Delivering optimised intensities of clinically-proven Red 633nm and Near-Infrared 830nm wavelengths, the combination of these two wavelengths is clinically proven to make a difference to skin hydration, firmness and wrinkles.

Comfortable, lightweight and works with any face shape thanks to the flexible (medical-silicon) material.

Straps are user-friendly and made of the best quality to ensure fit and comfort for any face shape, and are secure enough so the mask can be worn whilst doing other things.

Hands-free and portable - no tethering to a wall.

Our devices lay flat and travel easily in the protective bag provided.

Global adaptors are provided so you can still get your skin Boost whilst travelling.

Educational collateral is included with each device, plus additional reassurance from a team of professional skin experts on hand, in-salon, online and remotely.

The Boost LED Mask uses two proven wavelengths of light; 633nm red light and 830nm near-infrared light.

These wavelengths have been shown in clinical studies to stimulate collagen and elastin production cells and to improve blood flow and tissue oxygenation through a process called photobiomodulation.

These effects help skin cells absorb topical skincare products more effectively and help rebuild the damage caused by the ageing process.

LED light is delivered into the skin and used to recharge the cells ‘energy’ battery.

The skin is then able to use the energy as a fuel to repair and rejuvenate damaged cells - the healing process is most visible when you cut your finger and the skin heals itself.

However, the skin naturally repairs itself daily and we use LED to enhance and boost that repair.

Your cells can’t be overcharged by light - once their batteries are at full capacity, they will store the energy and use it as required.

A cell that has been charged by light can perform 150-200% more efficiently.

Boost LED Mask
56 x 633nm (red) and 56 x 830nm (near-infrared) LEDs.

Boost Décolletage Bib
48 x 633nm (red) and 48 x 830nm (near-infrared) LEDs.

Boost Body Patch
93 x 633nm (red) and 93 x 830nm (near-infrared) LEDs.

Boost Collar
27 x 633nm (red) and 27 x 830nm (near-infrared) LEDs.

Each socket contains the two wavelengths: Near-infrared 830nm and Red 633nm

Both wavelengths are delivered together, not independently; when combined, near-infrared 830nm enhances the red 633nm wavelength.

The premium quality LEDs used in our devices are crystal clear and driven at optimal intensities (18 joules/cm2 in a 10-minute treatment, equating to 30 milliwatts/cm2 of near-infrared 830nm and red 633nm), ensuring the correct dose of light is delivered to the skin.

The Boost Mask and Bib use a lithium-ion battery rated at 9.62Wh / 2200mAH.

If travelling by air, the battery should be carried in carry-on baggage and not checked in. The device must be completely switched off.

For further details on travelling with lithium-ion batteries consult your chosen airline.

Boost Face LED Mask
FDA-Cleared Medical Device with over-the-counter clearance
510(K) No. K191629

Boost Bib, Collar & Patch
FDA-Cleared
510K exempt (ILY)

For medical devices, drugs and biologics to be legally marketed and sold in the United States, they are required to be either cleared or approved by the FDA unless the product and intended use is 510(k) exempt. This is a regulatory process to ensure that the product is safe and efficacious in its use.

FDA approval is required for high-risk Class 3 drugs and biologics.

The LED technology in our Boost range of products is Class 2, which is a much lower risk, and its route to market is via either a 510K, or de novo submission for FDA Clearance or the technology is 510k exempt.

We pride ourselves on acquiring the correct regulations for our products and accurately marketing them to our consumers.

Yes, all our LED devices have undergone third-party medical testing.

Cheaper LEDs are often very broad in terms of their output, so they may have a specification of 100nm (ie. between 600-700nm). This means the light emitted is not very pure and is a mixture of wavelengths. So, whilst you may achieve some light absorption into the skin, you won’t achieve optimal amounts.

Additionally, if the wavelength is not delivered into the skin at an optimal intensity it will not reach its intended target within the skin.

The light must be delivered over a specific time; delivering too much too quickly can generate heat in the tissue and cells will not have time to process the photons (light energy). Deliver too little and any effect will be negligible.

Good quality LEDs have an output specification of +/- 5 or +/- 10 (max), meaning the output of an 830nm device will deliver wavelengths between 825-835nm or 820/840nm. We work with industry-leading and clinically proven wavelengths at the optimal absorption peak.

Red and Near-Infrared are on the opposite spectrum of light to UV. Neither the in-salon treatment or Boost LED devices produce any UV light.

No, we are not scientists or engineers, but through endless research and years of experience, we were able to identify and partner with the pioneers in LED light therapy.

Having delivered almost 30,000 in-salon LED treatments to date, The Light Salon us an informed authority on LED therapy.

Working side-by-side with the creators, trialling multiple prototypes, testing and modifying elements and ensuring every detail matched our discerning vision, our Boost range was born.

Our devices use clinically proven wavelengths, are convenient and easy to use and are designed with a thorough understanding of client care.

We pride ourselves on being a constant source of support, information and guidance. 

Our team of LED experts offer ongoing skin support and education, bespoke to each individual through emails, social media, telephone or online consultation. We treat every customer with the same level of care as our in-salon clients.

We aim to create an LED community, offering easy guidance to ensure everyone gets the best out of their purchase or treatment.

We treat those under 16 in our salons with parental consent and recommend our wearable, at-home, Boost LED devices are used from 16 years old.

We do not have clinical research on the use of Boost LED devices on under 16s - for this reason, use on younger teenagers and children is at the choice and risk of the parent. As each child’s healing and recovery requirements will be different, we recommend seeking advice from your doctor.

The material is medical grade and therefore has to comply with international standards of biocompatibility (ISO 10993-5 and 10993-10) for the device being in contact with the skin. The silicone is contained within the product.

LED results depend on quality, power (energy), wavelength accuracy and consistency, as opposed to the number of bulbs used. Whether you have 99 or 199 bulbs, if the wavelength is inaccurate or inconsistent the light will not hit the targeted area and won’t have the desired effect on the skin and body.

Green and yellow wavelengths, for instance, penetrate poorly and are absorbed by melanin and superficial blood; they will not reach the dermis where the main cells for healing and rejuvenation are located, and therefore will not stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.

By contrast, longer wavelengths such as red 633nm and near-infrared 830nm do penetrate well, reach the dermis, and are clinically proven to be optimal wavelengths for skin health and rejuvenation (with 830nm achieving the quickest results and greatest levels of customer satisfaction).

The Light Salon works with red 633nm and near-infrared 830nm wavelengths for precisely this reason – not only do they stimulate collagen and elastin production (rejuvenating the complexion), they also penetrate deep into the body, reaching muscles, nerves and bone, increasing blood flow and targeting inflammation whilst supporting cellular regrowth and regeneration to help reduce pain and heal injuries.

The next important element (ingredient) is intensity (power), which is also referred to as the irradiance (and in our case, measured at 30m/watts per cm 2). An optimised intensity will deliver the photon energy accurately, via the correct wavelength/s, hitting the target and activating the cells. Delivering too much too quickly can generate heat in the tissue, meaning cells do not have time to process the photons (light energy). Deliver too little, and there won’t be any effect.

And the final ingredient is the dose (energy). The energy requirement is measured by calculating the intensity with the distance from the skin/body, to determine how long the treatment should be activated (the time the light is being delivered into the skin).

To conclude, if the wavelength and intensity (power) are incorrect, the dose is irrelevant, but if both ingredients are optimal, then the dose is crucial.

Higher wavelengths are not harmful, the number indicates the absorption peak and target, once in the skin. We work with industry-leading and clinically proven wavelengths at the optimal absorption peak – Red 633nm and Near-Infrared 830nm. These are proven to assist in skin health, regeneration and overall wellness.

The choice between 830nm and 850nm near-infrared (NIR) light depends on the utimate aim of the treatment, as each wavelength has unique benefits.

830nm is often preferred because it can penetrate deeper into the skin and tissues than 850nm. This makes it especially effective for treating deeper issues like muscle repair, joint health, or boosting collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin.

Research has shown that 830nm light works well for medical and cosmetic treatments, with strong evidence supporting its ability to help with wound healing, reducing inflammation, and improving skin tone and elasticity.

It’s also worth noting that a key enzyme in our cells, which helps produce energy, absorbs light best in the 800–830nm range. This means 830nm can be particularly good at stimulating cells to repair and regenerate more effectively.
