Light therapy, also known as phototherapy, uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin at different depths. The light stimulates biological processes—like collagen production, cellular repair, and antibacterial effects—depending on the color of the light used. What’s exciting about this therapy is that it’s non-invasive, generally safe for all skin types, and doesn’t require any downtime. Whether you’re in your 20s dealing with occasional breakouts or in your 50s looking for anti-aging solutions, there’s a light color designed for your skin needs.
So, which color is best for you? That’s where our comparison begins.
Red Light
Red light, especially around 630–650nm in wavelength, is best known for its ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Collagen is what gives our skin structure and firmness. As we age, our collagen levels decline, leading to sagging, fine lines, and wrinkles.
By encouraging the skin to produce more collagen, red light improves skin elasticity and reduces visible signs of aging. It also increases blood flow, enhancing skin tone and overall radiance.
The MR-2308 Rejuvenating Beauty Mask integrates red light and deep red light across its 220 light beads, ensuring maximum surface and sub-surface coverage for collagen regeneration. If you’re focused on anti-aging, this is the wavelength you want to include in your skincare toolkit. Explore how it works.
Red Light Key Benefits:
- Reduces wrinkles and fine lines
- Firms sagging skin
- Boosts circulation
- Improves skin texture
Blue Light
Next up is blue light therapy, which operates at about 405–420nm. This light penetrates the uppermost layers of the skin and has a unique antibacterial effect, especially against Propionibacterium acnes—the bacteria responsible for acne.
Unlike topical treatments that can cause dryness or irritation, blue light offers a gentle, effective alternative. It reduces breakouts by targeting bacteria and balancing oil production without harming the skin barrier.
Blue Light Key Benefits:
- Kills acne-causing bacteria
- Reduces inflammation
- Balances sebum production
- Prevents future breakouts
Near-Infrared Light
Near-infrared light goes deeper than any other wavelength—up to 850–900nm. It doesn’t just target the skin’s surface; it reaches the underlying tissues, making it highly effective for healing, reducing deep wrinkles, and improving overall skin health.
This light accelerates tissue repair and cellular regeneration, which is crucial for those with more advanced signs of aging, sun damage, or scarring.
The MR-2308 LED Phototherapy Mask incorporates near-infrared light as part of its four-matrix wave system. Combined with red and golden amber lights, it provides a deep, rejuvenating experience.
Near-Infrared Light Key Benefits
- Promotes deep tissue repair
- Reduces the appearance of scars
- Improves skin density and elasticity
- Enhances circulation at deeper levels
The Underrated Glow of Golden Amber Light
Often overlooked, golden amber light (around 590nm) targets pigmentation and redness. It’s particularly helpful for people with sensitive skin or rosacea. It also boosts lymphatic flow and reduces swelling, leaving your skin calm and luminous.
That’s why it’s included in the MR-2308 Light Therapy Beauty Mask—it complements the anti-aging and regenerative powers of red and near-infrared light with a calming, tone-evening effect. The mask also offers three functional modes: Soothing, Brightening, and Anti-aging. Each is designed to address a specific stage of skin needs. Get details on how it adapts to your routine [here].
Golden Amber Light Key Benefits:
- Reduces pigmentation and redness
- Soothes sensitive skin
- Boosts skin clarity
- Supports lymphatic drainage

Who Should Use Light Therapy Beauty Masks?
LED therapy is generally safe for all skin types and tones. Whether you’re in your 20s wanting to prevent aging or in your 50s looking to restore elasticity, light therapy can serve your goals. It’s also a great option for people looking for non-invasive alternatives to injections or harsh chemical treatments. Here’s a quick guide:
- For acne-prone skin: Start with blue light therapy.
