Your Complete Wavelength Guide
The Aluralight uses three clinically-studied LED wavelengths, each scientifically shown to target specific skin concerns. Here's everything you need to know about each light and when to use it.
🔴 Red Light: 633nm
Anti-Aging and Collagen Stimulation
Red light penetrates deeper into the skin than any other visible wavelength. At the cellular level, it stimulates fibroblast cells to produce new collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for firm, plump, youthful skin.
What it targets:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Loss of firmness and elasticity
- Skin texture and tone
- Overall skin rejuvenation
The science: Multiple peer-reviewed studies have demonstrated red light's ability to significantly reduce fine lines, improve skin roughness, and increase intradermal collagen density with consistent use.
Session time: 5 minutes in the automatic cycle.
🔵 Blue Light: 415nm
Anti-Acne and Antibacterial
Blue light works at the surface level, targeting the bacteria (Cutibacterium acnes) responsible for breakouts. It disrupts the bacteria without harming surrounding healthy skin tissue. Clinical studies have demonstrated its effectiveness for mild-to-moderate facial acne and psoriasis.
What it targets:
- Active breakouts and acne
- Acne-prone skin
- Psoriasis
- Oily skin prone to congestion
The science: Clinical studies show blue light therapy is effective for reducing mild-to-moderate acne. It works by producing reactive oxygen species that are bactericidal to acne-causing bacteria.
Session time: 5 minutes in the automatic cycle.
🟠 Amber/Orange Light: 590nm
Firming and Brightening
Amber light targets the surface layers of the skin to firm, tone, and brighten the complexion. It helps reduce dullness and promotes a more even, radiant skin tone.
What it targets:
- Skin dullness and lack of radiance
- Uneven skin tone
- Surface-level firmness
- Overall complexion brightness
Session time: 10 minutes in the automatic cycle, the longest segment because surface brightening benefits from extended exposure.
The Automatic Session: All Three Combined
When you power on the mask, it automatically cycles through all three wavelengths in sequence:
Red 5 min, Blue 5 min, Amber 10 min = 20 minutes total
This is the recommended setting for most users as it delivers a complete, multi-concern treatment in a single session. The mask powers off automatically after 20 minutes.
Manual Selection: Target a Specific Concern
To focus on a single concern, tap the III symbol next to the power button to cycle to your desired colour. The mask will run that wavelength for the full 20-minute session.
Best for:
- Active breakout? Blue only.
- Focused anti-aging session? Red only.
- Brightening before an event? Amber only.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which light is best for anti-aging? Red (633nm). Use it daily for best results, as collagen stimulation is cumulative.
Which light is best for acne? Blue (415nm). For active breakouts, you can run a dedicated blue-only session.
Can I use all three lights in one session? Yes. The automatic mode does exactly this. It's the recommended approach for most users.
Do the lights cause any discomfort? You will notice warmth during your session, which is completely normal and a sign the device is working. You should never feel sharp pain or burning. If you do, discontinue use.
