Photobiomodulation
Photobiomodulation might sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, but your skin already knows the plot. It’s the scientific name for what happens when light energy meets living tissue (in other words, what makes LED light therapy actually work).
Here’s the glow science: when specific wavelengths of light (like red, blue, or near-infrared) are absorbed by your skin cells, they spark biological reactions that tell your cells to get moving. Think of it as a pep talk for sluggish skin; light hits the cells, energy production goes up, and suddenly collagen, elastin, and healing all get a boost.
This process helps reduce inflammation, accelerate repair, and support that firm, luminous look we’re all chasing. Different colours mean different wavelengths, and each has its own superpower. That’s why your SKINJOY LUMO MASK uses multiple light settings (from red for collagen to blue for acne) to give your skin exactly the wavelength workout it needs.
In short, photobiomodulation is just the fancy name for light doing its magic, helping your skin glow smarter, not harder.
