These devices “use specific wavelengths of red light to penetrate the skin and promote healing and rejuvenation; they're are used in various forms, including handheld devices, masks, and panels, and are popular for their potential benefits in skin health,” says Dr. Marisa Garshick, an NYC-based board-certified dermatologist at MDCS Dermatology.

We know that this technology may still sound too good to be true. Dr. Luke Maxfield, a board-certified dermatologist based in Wilmington, NC, explains exactly how these red light tools work. “Red light has been shown to have multiple benefits for the skin and penetrates more deeply than shorter wavelengths. As the light penetrates, it increases growth factors like fibroblast growth factor and other signals that help the growth of collagen, extracellular matrix, and activates cellular mitochondrial pathways,” he says. As a result, the treatment targets all sorts of signs of aging, including wrinkles, texture, loss of elasticity, on the neck and chest, “creating a tighter, more plumped appearance to the overall areas,” adds Andrew Silberstein, the CEO of Solawave.
