LED Light Therapy

LED Light Therapy

The At-Home Skin Upgrade That Works From the Inside Out

In clinic, LED light therapy is one of our most-loved treatments - and for good reason. It’s calming, deeply restorative, clinically backed and suitable for almost every skin type. Now, with advancements in at-home technology, you can bring this skin-rejuvenating ritual into your own daily routine, maintaining results between professional treatments and supporting your skin from the comfort of home.

This guide will walk you through what LED therapy does, why it works, what to look for in an at-home device and why we trust and recommend the QMS Medicosmetics LED Mask - a premium, clinically proven tool with wavelengths unmatched by many home devices.

What LED Light Therapy Actually Does for Your Skin

LED therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate natural healing processes within the skin. Unlike lasers or heat-based devices, LED doesn’t damage or stress the skin - it simply communicates with your cells, boosting the mitochondria prompting them to function with more energy, clarity and efficiency.

Different wavelengths deliver different benefits:

Red Light (630nm)

Supports collagen and elastin production, reduces redness, boosts oxygenation, and promotes firmer, more resilient skin.

Near-Infrared (830nm)

Penetrates deeper than visible light to support wound healing, calm inflammation, improve circulation and enhance hydration.

Exclusive Deep Near-Infrared (1070nm)

This wavelength is unique - very few home masks offer it.
1070nm travels deeper into the dermis, supporting:

• under-eye puffiness reduction
• improved density and firmness
• enhanced skin texture
• deeper regenerative pathways
• overall smoothing and revitalisation

Together, these wavelengths create a powerful multi-layered approach to skin rejuvenation.

Why RSA Clients Love LED

For many of our clients - especially women experiencing perimenopausal changes - LED is transformative:

• It boosts natural collagen at a time when production declines.
• It soothes inflammation from hormonal fluctuations.
• It strengthens a compromised skin barrier.
• It promotes a calm nervous system during a busy life.
• It offers consistent, gentle, cumulative results.

LED is not a trend — it is a science-backed, non-invasive way to strengthen your skin from within.

The QMS LED Mask — Our Top Recommended At-Home Device

At Rachel Staggs Aesthetics, we test everything thoroughly before recommending it to clients. The QMS Medicosmetics LED Mask stands out as one of the most advanced, results-driven at-home options available.

Why we love it:

✔ A clinically proven trio of wavelengths

The QMS mask uses:

• 630nm (red light)
• 830nm (near-infrared)
• 1070nm (deep near-infrared — the standout wavelength)

This exclusive combination delivers exceptional rejuvenation and deep dermal benefits.

✔ Visible improvements in multiple skin concerns

Experience radiant, hydrated, revitalised skin with just 10 minutes, 5 times a week.
This intelligent LED system helps to:

Stimulate collagen and elastin production
Reduce fine lines and facial wrinkles
 Smooth uneven texture and tone
Improve overall firmness and luminosity
Reduce under-eye bags and puffiness
Recharge fatigued, stressed skin

✔ Flexible, comfortable design

The soft silicone mould ensures close contact with the skin - essential for optimal LED penetration - without the heaviness of traditional rigid masks.

✔ Safe for sensitive and hormonally reactive skin

This mask is gentle, effective and ideal for skin navigating perimenopause, sensitivity, or post-treatment recovery.

✔ Perfectly aligns with the RSA inside-out philosophy

Use it after cleansing, pair it with breathwork or meditation, and follow with restorative skincare (like our Rest & Renew Overnight Facial Oil) to enhance results.

What to Look For When Purchasing an At-Home LED Mask

Quality matters. Here’s what we advise our clients to look for:

1. Wavelength transparency

Brands should clearly list the nanometres (nm), not just say “red light.”
Look for clinically proven nm ranges:

• Red: 630–660nm
• Blue (if needed for acne): 415nm
• Near-Infrared: 830–850nm
• Deep Near-Infrared: 1070nm for advanced rejuvenation

2. LED density & coverage

More LEDs = better results. Avoid masks with patchy coverage.

3. Irradiance (power output)

At-home devices are gentler than in-clinic machines (like our Tri-Wave MD), but still need adequate power to be effective.

4. Comfort & fit

A flexible or curved design ensures closeness to the skin — a key factor in how well LED works.

5. Safety certifications

Choose CE-marked or FDA-cleared devices only.

6. Brand credibility & warranty

Invest in brands with clinical testing, medical backing and strong aftercare.

7. Consistency over intensity

Results come from regular use, not from the device being the most powerful.
Think: 10 minutes, 3–5 times a week, for at least 8–12 weeks.

How to Use an LED Mask for Best Results (RSA Method)

1. Cleanse thoroughly
   LED must be used on clean, product-free skin.
2. Use LED before applying serums or moisturiser
   Light needs direct access to the skin.
3. Relax into it
   Use your LED session as part of a grounding ritual - breathwork, meditation, journaling or simple stillness.
4. Follow with high-performance skincare
   Think peptides, hydration, or your RSA Rest & Renew oil.
5. Stay consistent
   Just like strength training or Pilates, results come from repetition.

Final Thoughts

LED therapy is one of the safest, most effective, most research-backed ways to support your skin’s health and vitality - especially during life phases where hormonal changes, stress and environmental exposure take a toll.

With the right at-home device - such as the QMS LED Mask with its exclusive 630nm, 830nm and 1070nm wavelengths - you can maintain professional-level results between treatments and give your skin the daily nourishment it deserves.
