Red Light Therapy Boom: What the Science Really Says as Masks, Mats and Beds Flood Beauty Market
Red-light therapy’s footprint in U.S. beauty and wellness keeps expanding, and Monday’s coverage highlights just how quickly devices like masks, caps, and panels have jumped from niche clinics to living rooms. Dermatologists and researchers aren’t dismissing the science, but they’re clear: the best evidence supports far fewer uses than marketers claim. The category’s popping up in retail recaps and neighborhood recovery studios alike. Last week, Axios Charlotte spotlighted a $49 session on a full-body LED bed at a local wellness spot. Product rundowns from Town & Country and NewBeauty have put masks, hats, and panels squarely in focus—prices hovering between $399 and $549, with the CurrentBody hair helmet clocking in at $860.
