Let There Be (Red) Light: Why We Love LED Therapy at This Is Sundays
When it comes to glowing skin, there’s one thing we always come back to — light. Specifically, red light therapy. You’ve probably seen the masks all over Instagram or heard friends rave about that post-treatment glow. But what exactly does red light do, and why do we trust Omnilux over every other brand out there?
Let’s break it down — the science, the hype, and why your skin will love it.
What Is Red Light Therapy, Really?
Think of red light therapy as a gentle workout for your skin cells. Instead of using heat or chemicals, it uses specific wavelengths of light to wake up your cells and tell them to produce more collagen, repair damage, and calm inflammation.
In simple terms: it helps your skin act younger.
At This Is Sundays, we’re all about treatments that work with your skin’s biology, not against it. Red light therapy fits perfectly into that philosophy — minimal downtime, maximum glow, and completely non-invasive.
The Science of Glow
There are two main wavelengths behind the magic:
- 633 nm (Red Light) – Improves circulation, reduces redness, and supports collagen production. Perfect for giving tired, dull skin that fresh, even-toned glow.
- 830 nm (Near-Infrared Light) – Travels deeper, repairing and strengthening skin from within for better elasticity and firmness over time.
These wavelengths fuel your skin cells with energy — literally helping them function more efficiently. Think of it as sunlight without the UV damage.
What to Look for in a Red Light Mask
Here’s the truth: not all LED masks are created equal. Some look nice but deliver very little actual benefit. If you’re shopping around (or wondering what we use at the clinic), here’s what matters most:
- Clinically tested wavelengths – Look for around 633 nm (red) and 830 nm (near-infrared).
- Power output that counts – Around 20–30 mW/cm² is ideal for meaningful skin benefits. Ensure this information is clinically tested!!
- Skin contact – The closer the light is to your skin, the more effective it is.
- FDA-cleared technology – It’s the gold standard for both safety and efficacy.
- Comfort and design – You’ll use it more often if it feels good to wear.
Why We Chose Omnilux
After years of comparing devices and testing options in-clinic, Omnilux stood out in every way. It’s the most clinically studied LED light therapy system in the world — used in dermatology offices, medspas, and even hospitals.
Here’s why it’s our top pick:
- Proven results. 20+ years of research and real clinical studies — not influencer marketing.
- Medical-grade energy. About 30 mW/cm², delivering true therapeutic light.
- The perfect wavelength combo. 633 nm + 830 nm, targeting both surface and deeper layers of skin.
- Flexible design. The Omnilux Contour mask molds comfortably to every face shape for even coverage.
- Safe for all skin types. No heat, no UV, no irritation — just light and results.
We’ve seen our patients love it not just for fine lines and tone, but also for calming redness, speeding healing post-treatment, and maintaining results between injectables or laser sessions.
Who It’s For
If you want smoother texture, more even tone, or just that healthy, “I actually drink enough water” glow — red light therapy is for you.
It’s especially great for:
- Dull or tired skin
- Redness and inflammation
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Post-procedure healing
- Long-term collagen support
At This Is Sundays, we often combine red light therapy with treatments like microneedling, IPL, or skin resurfacing — and we love recommending the Omnilux home mask for clients who want to keep the results glowing.
