How we test

A clinical program

Skin is measured with the same instruments used in dermatological research, from VISIA imaging and 3D wrinkle mapping to ultrasound collagen density. Recovery is tracked with validated pain, sleep and mobility scales. Each device is assessed against the wearer's own baseline. This page summarises what was found, with the full reports attached.

Safety

Safety and tolerabilityn=52 patch assessment · dermatologist supervised

Both devices were well tolerated. A 48-hour occlusive patch assessment recorded no irritation or sensitisation, and the mask was rated suitable for sensitive skin.

  • Certified Class 1 laser product, no eye protection required
  • 1064nm suits all skin tones, Fitzpatrick I to VI
  • No device-related adverse events across the program

How it works

Four wavelengths, four depths.

Photobiomodulation is the absorption of light by the mitochondria, which lifts cellular energy, eases inflammation and drives collagen. Each Luscent wavelength is matched to a depth of skin or tissue. The mat delivers 660 and 850nm across the whole body.

460nm

BLUE · SURFACE

Targets the surface and pores for clearer, more balanced looking skin.

665nm

RED · DERMIS

Reaches the fibroblasts that build collagen, for firmness and fine lines.

850nm

NEAR INFRARED · DEEP DERMIS

Supports recovery, circulation and a refreshed complexion.

1064nm

LASER · SUBCUTANEOUS

Reaches the deepest layers and suits every skin tone, Fitzpatrick I to VI.
