Debunking Viral Skincare: Infrared Light Therapy

Skincare is constantly evolving, with technology leading the way in breakthrough treatments. From retinol to salmon sperm facials, the industry is flooded with new innovations. But with so much information circulating, how do you separate fact from fiction? We're here to debunk the myths and give you the straight facts, starting with infrared light therapy.

The Science Behind Infrared Light Therapy

Infrared (IR) light therapy uses wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin at a cellular level. Unlike ultraviolet (UV) rays, which can cause damage, infrared light works beneath the surface to stimulate cellular repair, enhance circulation, and boost collagen production. Near-infrared (NIR) light is particularly beneficial for accelerating wound healing and reducing inflammation, while far-infrared (FIR) aids in detoxification and improves microcirculation. The result? Firm, glowy skin.Infrared light therapy is available in various forms to suit different lifestyles and skincare routines. Infrared masks provide targeted facial treatments, saunas offer full-body benefits, handheld devices make at-home treatments accessible, and professional-grade panels deliver clinical results in medispas and dermatology offices.

Debunking the Myths

Despite its growing popularity, misinformation about infrared light therapy is widespread. Let’s set the record straight:

  • Myth: Infrared light therapy delivers instant results. To see real, lasting benefits, consistency is key. A single infrared mask session won’t provide transformative effects.
  • Myth: Infrared therapy can replace skincare. While it enhances skin health, infrared therapy works best when paired with targeted skincare.
  • Myth: Infrared light therapy can burn or damage the skin. Unlike aggressive laser treatments, infrared light operates at a gentle, non-invasive intensity, making it safe for regular use when applied correctly.

Recomendations

To maximise the benefits of infrared light therapy and ensure your skin is properly prepped and protected, follow these simple steps before and after treatment:

  • Before treatment: Start by applying the Gold Purifying Mask for a deep cleanse. This luxurious clarifying mask gently draws out impurities, congestion, and excess oil, leaving no tight or stripped sensation. It replenishes and revitalises the skin, revealing a radiant glow, preparing your skin for the infrared treatment.
  • Before treatment: Apply Super Hydration Serum to flood the skin with moisture and bioavailable nutrients, priming it for maximum absorption.
  • After treatment: Lock in hydration with Barrier Balance Cream, which fortifies the skin’s natural protective layer, prevents moisture loss, and soothes any infrared-induced stimulation. This duo amplifies results, leaving skin deeply nourished, plump, and glowy.

Infrared light therapy is an undeniable breakthrough in skincare, but for the best results, it should be combined with scientifically advanced formulations. Pair your treatment with our  Barrier Balance Cream and Super Hydration Serum to ensure your skin is primed, protected, and deeply nourished.
