Laser vs. LED
Lasers focus. LEDs scatter.
The difference is physics. Laser diodes emit coherent, collimated light that holds its intensity from source to skin. LED light spreads across a wide angle and dilutes before it arrives. On target, that is up to 6× more intensity from the same session.
Laser — focused beam
Coherent light lands exactly where it's aimed, at full intensity.
LED — scattered light
Diffuse rays spread wide, diluting the dose before it arrives.
6×
more on-target intensity than scattered LED light

The science, at depth
Where each wavelength works.
Penetration depth is a function of wavelength — and it determines which structures the light can reach.
| Wavelength | Approx. depth | Reaches | Studied for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 460 nmBlue | ~0.5–1 mm | Epidermis | Absorbed at the surface, where it's studied for blemish-prone skin. Drives the Clarify mode. |
| 665 nmRed | ~1–2 mm | Upper dermis | The most-studied wavelength in skin research — tone, texture, and fine lines. |
| 850 nmNear-infrared | ~2–3 mm | Dermis | Reaches the layer where fibroblasts produce collagen and elastin. |
| 1064 nmNear-infrared | ~3–5 mm | Deep dermis & below | The deepest-reaching wavelength here — rare outside professional equipment. |
Depths are approximate ranges reported in published optical penetration studies; they vary with skin type and site.
Clinical results
The 30-day results.
In a 44-person consumer study, participants used Lumière for ten minutes a day, for 30 days, with no other changes to their routine. These are the results they reported.

Edge to edge
Your whole face. No dead zones.
Flat panels and rigid shells leave gaps — around the nose, along the jawline, at the temples — where light never lands at the right distance. Lumière's silicone shell is curved in three dimensions to follow the actual topography of your face, holding every one of its 72 light sources at an even working distance.
Forehead, cheeks, nose, jaw, chin: the same dose, everywhere it should reach.

Skin longevity
Longevity is a daily practice.
From the mid-twenties, skin loses roughly one percent of its collagen each year.* The longevity approach doesn't wait for that to show — it supports the skin's own repair systems continuously, before repair becomes correction. Ten minutes of red and near-infrared light a day is that kind of investment: small, consistent, compounding.
It's why we're named the way we are: where light becomes longevity.

How we compare
Lumière vs. the alternatives
Clinic-grade wavelengths without the appointments — and laser delivery that LED masks can't match.
The design
Considered down to the last detail.
Lumière began with a clinical observation: results in light therapy come from consistent daily exposure, and consistency fails when a device is heavy, tethered, or tedious. So we shaped clinical optics into food-grade silicone that weighs almost nothing, curved the shell in three dimensions so light lands evenly across every contour of the face, and removed the cord entirely. Set the mode and timer from the wireless remote; the session ends itself. Ten minutes, precisely delivered.
