Get celebrity-level radiant skin! Discover how light therapy masks, used by stars like Carey Mulligan, boost collagen & fight aging non-invasively.
Who is most likely to road-test cutting-edge anti-aging interventions before the rest of us? Celebrities, of course. Because their livelihoods depend on flawless complexions in ultra-high-definition close-ups, actresses and on-camera personalities are usually the earliest adopters of any novel skin-rejuvenation modality—light-based or otherwise.
While injectables and surgery remain popular, a growing cohort of A-listers now pursues non-invasive alternatives. We have previously reported on Kourtney Kardashian, Emma Stone, Chrissy Teigen, and Julia Roberts incorporating LED masks into their facial regimens, and the trend continues to gain momentum across Hollywood.
Viewers of the 93rd Academy Awards, for instance, couldn’t help but notice Carey Mulligan’s preternatural radiance. The source of her Oscar-night glow was not highlighter, but rather a pre-red-carpet light-therapy session.
So, what quantifiable dermatologic benefits does LED photobiomodulation confer? To appreciate the clinical value of red-light therapy, one must first understand its mechanism of action.
Red (630–700 nm) and near-infrared (700–1,100 nm) photons penetrate the epidermis and dermis, where they are absorbed by mitochondrial chromophores such as cytochrome-c oxidase. This interaction accelerates adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis, up-regulates fibroblast activity, and amplifies collagen-I and -III transcription. The downstream effects include reduced cutaneous inflammation, accelerated tissue repair, and measurable attenuation of rhytides—effectively resetting the skin’s extracellular matrix age.
Mulligan’s make-up artist Georgie Eisdell documented the protocol on Instagram: “I cannot live without it [red-light therapy mask]. I made sure we got 15 minutes of relaxation and skin love this morning with Carey before we started getting glam.”
Yet red-carpet luminosity is no longer restricted to celebrities. With Kayian’s MDA-approved, FDA-cleared devices, clinicians and consumers alike can reproduce the same photobiomodulation parameters used in prestige spas.
Kayian’s Aduro® light-therapy mask delivers 11 chromatic protocols via seven selectable wavelengths (415–940 nm). Each spectral band targets distinct chromophores, enabling bespoke treatment of acne, post-inflammatory erythema, photo-aging, and barrier dysfunction.
Peer-reviewed indications for the Aduro facial platform include:
For example, 415 nm blue light induces bacterial porphyrin excitation and subsequent antimicrobial phototoxicity, whereas 633 nm red light down-regulates matrix metalloproteinases and stimulates TGF-β1-mediated collagenesis. Regardless of selected wavelength, the mask concurrently enhances extracellular matrix density, purifies sebaceous follicles, and calms all phototypes.
