What’s new in Red Light Therapy?
If you follow Maysama.com blog, you will know that I am a huge fan of anything Red Light Therapy! So, I was super-excited when our friends at Currentbody SKIN contacted me to try out their latest at home LED Light Therapy devices.
If it stimulates biological processes and helps slow down the ageing process, I want to know about it. Just call me Bev the biohacker!
Biological processes involving energy conversion to drive chemical transformations, which cannot be explained by the laws of physics, fall into the field of quantum biology. And understanding in this relatively new division of science is growing fast.
In fact, as recently as 2021, scientists in Toyoko discovered that when they shine blue light on human cells, they fluoresce. This fluorescence is due to proteins called flavins, which become excited, generating ‘radical pairs’ (two molecules joined by single electrons). When a magnet is moved over these cells, their electrons spin in the same direction, causing the light emitted by the cells to dim.
This interaction between light, magnetic field and water show us that the elements around us all have an impact on our biology. Understanding the power of light to modulate cellular biology, it makes sense to harness all of the good of visible light, without the damaging effects of UV radiation, which is exactly what LED light therapy allows us to do.
If you are in any doubt about the effect of light stimulation, also known as photobiomodulation, for skin rejuvenation, then do take a read of my earlier blog; Red Light and Green Tea, a Sticky Business!
For those of you already sold on the benefits of red light therapy, with Christmas just around the corner, I’m sure, like me, you are penning your Christmas list for Santa. So let me add a couple of worthy contenders.
No doubt, you will already be familiar with Currentbody SKIN’s LED Light Treatment Mask, which has been a favourite with celebrities and consumers alike for more than a couple of years. I have been using this at home device myself, alongside my Mito Red LED Light panel. What I love most about Currentbody’s LED Light mask is its versatility. Whether you prefer to stand up, sit or lie down, you can take your treatment where you want, how you want. It is comfortable to wear and, with just ten minutes treatment time, you can fit it in to your daily routine at the beginning or the end of the day to suit your schedule. I also love that it is so travel-friendly too. My Currentbody LED Light Mask has travelled with me to Ilfracoombe, Budapest and Vienna already this year! It just lies flat in your suitcase and it barely takes up any space at all.
LED light therapy can bring you benefits for skin tone and texture. And from a pro-aging perspective, it can help increase elasticity, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, as well as reduce pigmentation and erythema. If you want to know how to optimise all of these benefits, then check out my most recent blog; Supercharge your Red Light Therapy.
So Red Light Therapy can help with many skin issues, but what if you have particular areas of concern, like under-eye bags or wrinkles around the lips?
Well, Currentbody SKIN have great news for you! The new Currentbody SKIN LED Eye Perfector and and LED Lip Perfector offer targeted treatments, which are specific to these areas of concern. In as little as eight weeks, you could be seeing results.
Currentbody SKIN LED Eye Perfector
I am salivating over this beauty device! You only have to hold it to feel the quality. Made of light-weight silicone and no less than 80 LEDs, you just know it is going to pack a punch! As a regular user of the Currentbody SKIN LED Light Therapy Mask, I know that it is comfortable to wear, but their new LED Eye Perfector is next level comfort. Even without the strap, the concave googles wrap snuggly around your face and lightly grip your temples. The adjustable strap secures the eye mask further, so you could literally wear this whilst running on a treadmill, if you so desired!
The most researched wavelengths for LED light therapy are in the 600-660nm (amber, red and deep red) and 880nm (near infrared) range. Currentbody’s new LED Eye Perfector combines these four wavelengths in the red/near infrared range to target elasticity, elevens (the vertical lines between your eyebrows), under-eye bags and dark circles. Red LED stimulates dermal fibroblasts to grow and replicate, and near infrared stimulates these cells to produce more collagen. With clinically proven results, red and near infrared LED reach the deeper layers of the skin around your eyes to help fade fine lines, diminish dark circles, firm skin and increase luminosity right where you need it. If you could say goodbye to brow furrows, eye bags and crow’s feet in just two months, with daily treatments of just 3 minutes a day, why would you not purchase this?
Priced at £199.00, this beauty device is not inexpensive. So, what’s my verdict? This gets a resounding ‘yes’ and a big thumbs up from me. If your eye orbits are looking a little tired and would benefit from a little TLC and tightening, definitely check out this device. The price includes the Currentbody SKIN LED Eye Perfector, Currentbody Skin Green Tea Eye Cream, Storage bag, USB charge and charging stand, as well as comfort goggles (for light-sensitive individuals) and of course, the manual.

Currentbody SKIN Lip Perfector
The other facial area which is a sure indicator of our age is our lips and mouth area. Feather lines and smile lines around the mouth can be a tell-tell sign of smoking or premature aging, and few (if any) non-invasive modalities target this area. I think it is great that Currentbody SKIN have addressed this with their new LED Lip Perfector.
With 56 red and near infrared LEDs concentrated in a small surface area, this targeted lip device amps up the skin rejuvenation power so you can pucker-up with confidence. In just 8 weeks, this gadget’s got your lip goals covered - fuller, more flushed lips, with less lines.
And the little space-age charging box is so cute, even R2D2 would want one!
Priced at £149.00, a plumper pout and natural looking lips that last could cost you less than injectables. What's more, this device is for life, not just for Christmas! And Currentbody’s warranty period is a generous 2 years.
For even better results, why not combine your targeted LED treatment with Maysama Green Rooibos Pressed Serum for accelerated action? Green tea polyphenols provide complementary action to LED light, scavenging free radicals produced by red-NIR LED light, which can otherwise start to inhibit biological processes and lead to oxidative stress. Maysama’s award-winning antioxidant serum, formulated with Aspalathin-enriched Green Rooibos Tea, is the most pure and potent ‘green tea’ serum on the market and the only green tea serum clinically tested and shown to ‘improve outcomes for LED.’
Maysama’s recent claims testing confirm an increase in skin elasticity of 55% when Maysama Green Rooibos Serum is combined with LED Light Therapy treatments. Wrinkles are reduced by 30%, compared to 10% with LED alone and pigmentation and erythema are reduced by 23% and 30% respectively with co-treatments with Maysama Green Rooibos Pressed Serum.
