LightStim is making professional-style light therapy more flexible with its redesigned cordless LED skincare devices for wrinkles and acne. Both FDA-cleared handhelds combine targeted LED wavelengths with wireless operation, ergonomic handles and high-transparency biocompatible lenses that position the lights close to the skin. LightStim for Wrinkles uses 72 LEDs across four wavelengths to address fine lines and skin texture, while LightStim for Acne uses 60 LEDs across blue and red wavelengths to target mild to moderate inflammatory acne. Each charge provides up to two hours of continuous use.
The cordless format helps move LED treatments beyond fixed at-home setups by making regular use easier while traveling or moving between routines. For LightStim, separate devices for major skincare concerns create multiple entry points into its product ecosystem. Distribution through beauty retailers and treatment locations also bridges professional skincare services with consumer-led maintenance at home.
