We don't just promise results - we prove them.
Every wavelength in the Veluma mask is grounded in published, peer-reviewed research - not marketing claims. Here's what those studies actually found.

From light to cellular energy
Light therapy sounds like a marketing buzzword until you look at what's actually happening at the cellular level. Specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light penetrate the skin and are absorbed by mitochondria - the energy-producing part of your cells - triggering them to produce more ATP, the fuel cells use to repair and regenerate. This process is called photobiomodulation, and it's been studied in clinical settings since the 1960s, originally in wound healing and later in dermatology.
Not the same as sun exposure
Unlike UV light, which damages skin, red and near-infrared wavelengths sit outside the UV spectrum entirely - there's no burning, no tanning, no skin-damaging radiation involved. That distinction is why it's cleared for daily at-home use.
From clinic to your bathroom counter
The technology has been used in professional dermatology clinics for over a decade. What's changed recently is miniaturization: the same wavelengths that once required an in-office device now fit into a wearable mask, which is why LED light therapy is a newer category in Europe but already well-established in the US and Asian skincare markets.
Every wavelength reaches a different depth
Skin isn't one uniform layer — surface texture, collagen renewal, and deeper tissue repair all happen at different depths. A single wavelength can't reach all of them, which is why the Gen 2 mask combines four instead of relying on one.
The studies behind the science
These are the actual clinical trials behind the numbers on this page - not just headline stats, but who was studied, how, and for how long.
630nm Red Light
Wunsch & Matuschka (2014), Photomedicine and Laser Surgery
Design: Randomized, controlled clinical trial
Participants: 136
Protocol: 30 treatment sessions
Result: Visible reduction in wrinkles for the majority of participants, along with improved skin complexion.
850nm Near-Infrared
Lee et al. (2007), Lasers in Surgery and Medicine
Design: Randomized, split-face controlled study (each participant's treated side compared against their own untreated side)
Duration: 4 weeks
Result: Up to 36% reduction in wrinkle depth and a 19% increase in skin elasticity on the treated side.
415nm Blue Light
Papageorgiou, Katsambas & Chu (2000), British Journal of Dermatology
Design: Randomized controlled trial
Duration: 12 weeks
Result: An average 76% reduction in inflammatory acne lesions using combined blue-red light therapy.
1072nm Deep Near-Infrared
No published study yet
No dedicated clinical trial yet - flagged deliberately rather than omitted.
Independent published research at this specific wavelength is still emerging.
Included in the Gen 2 mask based on the broader near-infrared research above, not a study of its own (yet).
These studies tested light at the wavelength ranges above - not the Veluma mask itself. Individual results may vary.
What the certifications mean
CE:meets EU health and safety standards.
FDA-cleared:reviewed by the FDA and found equivalent to an already-legally-marketed device in the US.
RoHS:free of restricted hazardous substances.

“LED light therapy is scientifically grounded, and Veluma is a great way to bring it into your at-home routine. Used consistently, the results speak for themselves.”
Frequently asked by our customers
How does the Veluma mask work?
It uses four LED wavelengths - blue, red, near-infrared, and deep NIR+ - that target skin at different depths. Blue, red, and near-infrared light are backed by published clinical research; deep NIR+ is newer, with early results showing promise for mature skin.
Is it FDA-cleared and safe to use at home?
Yes. The mask is FDA-cleared, CE certified, and RoHS compliant, and designed for regular at-home use.
How often should I use it?
For best results, use it consistently — around 10-15 minutes a day fits easily into most routines.
How long until I see results?
Results vary by person and depend on consistency of use. Many customers notice changes within a few weeks of regular sessions — individual results may vary.
Can I use it with my regular skincare products?
Yes. LED therapy works well alongside your existing routine — apply the mask either before or after your usual products.
Does it hurt, or cause any side effects?
No — sessions are painless. Mild, temporary redness right after use is normal and typically fades quickly.
What if the mask isn't right for me?
Every mask comes with a 14-day trial and a 1-year warranty, so you can try it at home with peace of mind.
Who shouldn't use the mask?
As with most LED devices, it's generally not recommended during pregnancy, for those with photosensitivity or certain eye conditions, or while taking photosensitizing medication.
