Sophisticated anti-aging solutions have been around long before AI, but with the continued development of technology, they are only getting better. Two techy trends coming together for ultra-effective results — yes, we’re talking better than Botox — are stem-cell serums and LED light masks. Anti-aging and all-around beneficial for health and wellness, these plant-powered products, paired with a couple of sessions of light therapy, will boost the overall look and feel of your skin.

Boasted to promote cell turnover and younger skin, botanical stem-cell products promote collagen production to improve overall skin elasticity and reduce those pesky fine lines. They are also known to even out skin tone while moisturizing and brightening the skin’s surface, combating sun damage, and strengthening the skin barrier.

Overall, it’s like a facelift in a tube or bottle for improving your overall complexion.

Pairing LED light therapy with stem cells offers a beauty combo you’ll be forced to reckon with. LED face masks target the skin using different waves of light.

The most common colors used in skincare are red light (630–700 nm) and blue light (405-430 nm). For anti-aging effects, choose red. Red light waves reduce fine lines and wrinkles by also stimulating collagen production. Skin is also cited to appear more even and firm after use.

For a cleansing detox effect, go for blue. Blue light’s benefits include reducing inflammation and banishing breakout-causing bacteria. Blue light is especially great for acne-prone skin that produces a lot of oil.

Add the two together — LED light and stem cells — for a supercharged, superhero skincare routine. This anti-aging combo is preventative and nourishing for your skin, as stem cells spark the production of new cells and nourish cell growth, while the red light stimulates collagen production deep in the skin.

Before trying this cosmetic combo, cleanse your skin, then use the LED face mask (10–20 minutes, depending on your mask’s program), and then apply the stem-cell cream or serum after the light session. After being exposed to the LED light, skin is more open to absorbing active ingredients. Add sunscreen afterward as protection, and please ensure that the LED mask is used on bare skin to start — not with any creams or serums — for optimal light penetration.
