Red and near-infrared light therapy isn't a new trend — it's been studied in dermatology for over two decades. Here's what peer-reviewed research and board-certified dermatologists actually say about the technology behind devices like LUCCIRE™.

• Barolet et al., Dermatologic Surgery, 2009 — Split-face trial: one side treated with 660nm LED over 12 sessions. Treated side showed fewer wrinkles, biopsies confirmed more collagen.

• Lee et al., Photomedicine and Laser Surgery, 2007 — 76 participants, 633nm/830nm LED over 9 sessions. 91% reported improved skin tone; instruments confirmed reduced wrinkle depth.

• Wunsch & Matuschka, 2014 — Randomized, placebo-controlled trial with 136 volunteers.

• Mokoena et al., Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 2020 — Lab research: 660nm light stimulates collagen-producing skin cells.

• Chopra et al., Bratislava Medical Journal, 2025 — Review of 59 studies, ~1,900 patients.

• Dr. Elika Hoss, MD, Mayo Clinic — Explains red light is generally used for its anti-aging effects — collagen stimulation and reduced inflammation — while blue light targets acne.
• Dr. Heather Rogers, MD — Considers red and infrared LED among the most effective non-invasive options currently available for skin rejuvenation and wound healing.
• Dr. Dendy Engelman, MD, FAAD, Shafer Clinic NYC — Describes how red light triggers a biochemical response that helps skin cells repair and rejuvenate more efficiently, with no downtime.
• Dr. Jessie Cheung, MD — Notes red light penetrates several millimeters into skin without causing thermal damage, which is why it can be effective without being invasive.
• Dr. Rhonda Klein, MD, Modern Dermatology — Notes the therapy works gradually with consistent use, improving skin over time as part of a full skincare routine.
