How Often Should You Do Red Light Therapy?
Getting the most out of your red light device comes down to one thing, your routine. But if you’ve ever searched how often to use red light therapy, you’ve probably seen everything from “daily” to “once a week,” which makes it hard to know what’s actually right for your skin.
That’s why this guide focuses on one of the most common questions people ask: how often should you do red light therapy? To go a step further, we’ll share what dermatologists recommend as an ideal routine, and how that changes depending on your skin goals and device. Because real results come down to consistency, we’ll also break down the best starting schedule, what “too much” looks like, and how to stay on track long enough for benefits to build.
How Often Do Dermatologists Recommend You Do Red Light Therapy?
Most dermatologists recommend using red light therapy three to five times per week, especially when you’re just starting out. This range gives your skin enough consistent exposure to trigger collagen support, recovery, and inflammation control without pushing into overuse. After the first 6–8 weeks, many people shift into a maintenance rhythm of a few sessions per week.
The reason this schedule shows up so consistently in clinical guidance is simple: LED therapy is dose-dependent. Your skin responds better to repeat exposure over time than it does to the occasional long session. If you’re using a high-quality at-home device and your skin tolerates it well, some dermatologists are comfortable with daily use, but most still recommend starting in the 3–5x weekly zone first to build results safely and steadily.
As Dr. Lisa Espinoza, a board-certified dermatologist said: “Red light therapy is dose-dependent. Consistent sessions drive results far more than occasional long treatments.”
Red Light Therapy Treatment Times by Skin Concern
Once you’ve found your baseline, you can adjust your treatment times depending on what you’re targeting. Different skin goals don’t require totally different routines, but they do change the ideal starting frequency and long-term maintenance.
Dermatologist routines (and aligned with your device protocols) look like this:
- Face LED treatment (anti-aging, firmness, overall skin health): 10 minutes per session, 5–7 times per week
- Neck and chest LED treatment (texture, crepiness, redness): 10 minutes per session, 3–5 times per week
- Spot LED treatment for post-breakout marks, under-eye wrinkles or dark spots: 9 minutes per area, about 5 times per week
- Acne treatment for active blemishes: 3 minutes daily on clean, dry skin
Think of the first 3–5 weeks as your “results phase,” then maintenance as keeping skin in a healthier, more stable state. If your concern is stubborn or recurring, staying closer to the higher end early on tends to get you there faster. If your skin is reactive, the lower end works just as well. You just need steady consistency.
Can You Do Red Light Therapy Every Day?
Yes, daily red light therapy can be safe for many people, but only if two things are true: your device is designed for everyday use, and your skin tolerates it well. Higher-quality masks and devices, like those in the LED Esthetics Glotech range, support daily sessions because they deliver stable wavelengths at safe output levels, reducing the risk of irritation.
That said, daily use is optional, not required. If you’re consistent at 3–5 sessions per week, you’re already in the dermatologist-recommended window. Many people prefer that range because it fits real life better and is easier to keep up with for months, which is what results actually depend on.
If you want to try daily sessions, ease in slowly. Start every other day for two weeks and pay attention to how your skin feels. If it stays hydrated and calm, increase. If it starts feeling tight or sensitive, drop back to 3–4 times per week, you won’t lose progress by doing it less, as long as you stay persistent in the long-run.
What Does “Too Much” Red Light Therapy Look Like?
Red light therapy is gentle, so overuse rarely causes serious issues, but it can work against you. When sessions are too frequent or too long, skin may get temporarily dry, warm, or reactive, which often leads people to stop entirely.
Signs you may be overdoing it include:
- Mild tightness or dryness that feels new
- Sensitivity that lingers after a session
- Redness lasting longer than usual
- Skin feeling like it needs a break
If you notice these, scale back for a week and focus on hydration. Most people land back in the 3–5x weekly range as their best steady rhythm, and results continue building from there without interruption.
How to Build a Weekly Routine You’ll Actually Stick With
The most effective schedule is the one that feels automatic. Rather than aiming for “perfect,” aim for reliability. Choose fixed treatment days so your routine becomes effortless.
A simple pattern outlined by Dr. Erez Dayan is:
- 3-day baseline: Monday, Wednesday, Friday
- 4–5 day results phase: add one or two weekend or alternating days
- 2–3 day maintenance: keep only your easiest days
Dr. Erez Dayan explains, “Think of this like a workout plan for your skin. The baseline days keep momentum steady, the results phase adds a little extra push when you’re actively trying to change something, and maintenance is what protects the progress you’ve earned.”
Pair it with something you already do such as after cleansing at night, while winding down, or before applying serums in the morning. When treatments fit naturally, they become consistent. And with LED therapy, consistency is what turns “maybe it’s working” into visible, lasting change.
Should You Use Red Light Therapy Before or After Skincare?
Use red light therapy on clean, dry skin, before heavier products. Light penetrates best when there isn’t a thick layer blocking it, so cleanse first and do your session early in the routine. If you want to apply a light-activated or lightweight serum beforehand, this is the ideal moment because it can enhance absorption and support the treatment without interfering with the device’s effectiveness.
After your session, follow with hydration and barrier support. This is a good time for calming serums (like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, or peptides) and moisturizer. If you use stronger actives such as retinoids or exfoliating acids, apply them after LED or on alternate nights to reduce sensitivity. This simple order helps you get full light penetration and makes your skincare work better afterward.
Final Thoughts: The Routine Backed By Dermatologists
The most common dermatologist recommendation is to use red light therapy consistently, with short sessions around 10 minutes several times per week. Start with your device’s suggested routine, stay steady for at least 6–8 weeks, and then adjust into a maintenance rhythm that fits your life and skin goals.
The key isn’t doing more, it’s doing it regularly enough for your skin to build momentum. If you keep your sessions short, repeatable, and realistic, the benefits stack exactly the way they’re meant to, and staying consistent becomes easy instead of a hassle.

How to Choose the Best LED Mask for Your Skin
From breakouts to loss of firmness, your skin’s needs are always changing. Some days it’s oily and congested, other times it’s dry, reactive, and difficult to calm. Understanding what your skin is asking for and responding with targeted care is key to achieving lasting clarity and resilience.
LED face masks can be the perfect skincare tool for navigating those shifts. But not all light therapy devices are created equal. Choosing the right one for your skin type and goals can make the difference between short-term improvements and real transformation. That’s where LED Esthetics shines, offering professional-grade LED masks that support your skin health.

What Is an LED Mask and How Does It Work?
LED face masks use light energy to target skin concerns like breakouts, redness, and signs of aging. Each wavelength penetrates the skin at different depths to trigger natural healing responses.
The most common LED mask wavelengths are red and blue. Red light penetrates deeper to boost collagen, reduce inflammation, and improve skin texture, while blue light targets surface-level acne-causing bacteria to clear and prevent breakouts. Some masks also include near-infrared light for deeper tissue repair and long-term rejuvenation, along with yellow light to calm irritation and enhance radiance.
According to Dr. Espinoza , medical director at La Chelé Medical Aesthetics , LED therapy can be a powerful and empowering addition to any skincare routine, particularly for those managing hormonal shifts, post-procedure recovery, or early signs of aging. She emphasizes that consistency is key, and that at-home masks like the GloTech™ range allow patients to stay on track with their skin health goals between visits.
What to Look for in an LED Face Mask
Choosing the right LED face mask starts with knowing what your skin needs and finding a device that targets those concerns with the right light wavelengths. With so many options out there, it’s important to be selective. Many masks aren’t backed by clinical research and may not be proven to work safely or effectively.
How the mask fits your face matters just as much as the wavelength it uses. For the best results, choose a mask made from soft, medical-grade silicone that molds closely to your skin. This helps the light reach every area evenly. Rigid masks or those with LEDs spaced too far apart can lead to patchy coverage and less noticeable results.
FDA clearance is also key. Medical professionals like Dr. Espinoza emphasizes that the device you choose should be proven safe and effective, not just a marketing claim. Without proper testing and approval, there’s no guarantee it will deliver real results.
LED Esthetics’ GloTech™ Mask Pro and GloTech™ Lite check all the right boxes. Clinically tested, FDA-cleared, and designed for real comfort and coverage.
Best for Acne-Prone and Inflamed Skin: GloTech™ Lite
If breakouts and inflammation are your main concern, the GloTech™ Lite ($329) is your go-to. This ultra-lightweight, wireless LED mask combines red and blue light to reduce acne, calm redness, and support a clearer, more balanced complexion.

Best for Skin Clarity and Recovery: GloTech™ Mask Pro
Ranked #1 by Top 10 LED Masks, the GloTech™ Mask Pro ($399) is recognized as one of the best LED light therapy face masks, combining medical-grade red, blue, and near-infrared light to deliver deeper skin repair and clearer results.
This mask goes deeper, helping to:
Calm inflammation and speed post-procedure healing
Stimulate collagen production and reduce fine lines
Improve skin clarity, texture, and tone over time
Dr. Espinoza calls it “a game-changer” for at-home skin maintenance between clinical visits:
“The GloTech™ Mask Pro delivers professional-level results in a home setting. It’s thoughtfully designed, incredibly comfortable to wear, and allows patients to stay consistent with their skin health routines between visits.”
If your skin is sensitive, aging, or slow to bounce back after stress or treatments, the GloTech™ Mask Pro gives you the clinical-grade recovery and restoration your skin is looking for.

“Not only have I noticed a brighter, more even skin tone—it also helps with wound healing.”
Glotech™ Pro

Blue light fights active acne while red light stimulates collagen production , aiding in skin recovery and minimizing post-acne marks.
It’s ideal for users seeking an advanced, dermatologist-level treatment from home.
How to Use Your LED Mask for Best Results
LED therapy is only as effective as it is consistent. For best results, use your mask 3–5 times per week on freshly cleansed and dry skin. Avoid applying moisturizers or creams beforehand to ensure the LED light penetrates deeply and effectively.
For a perfect pairing, apply a light-activated serum like the LED Esthetics Vitamin C Ageless Complex before your session to amplify brightness and collagen support. After treatment, finish with LED Esthetics’ Hydrogel Masks to lock in hydration and soothe the skin—enhancing both comfort and glow.
Most users begin to see visible improvements within 4–6 weeks of consistent use, including clearer tone, calmer skin, and a healthier overall complexion.

How I Treated My Cold Sore with the Glotech™ Lip Wand: A 3-Day Journey
Cold sores always seem to pop up at the worst possible time. For me, it was a few days the day before a big event, and I could already feel that familiar tingling sensation starting on my lip. Knowing how frustrating and painful cold sores can be, I didn’t want to wait around and let it get worse. That’s when I decided to try the Glotech™ Lip Wand .
Here’s my 3-day journey treating my cold sore with the Glotech™ Lip Wand.
Day 1: The Onset
.
It started with that dreaded tingle—a warning sign that a cold sore was on its way. I’ve dealt with cold sores in the past, and I knew that if I didn’t take action immediately, it would become more painful and noticeable in the next 24 hours. I grabbed the Glotech™ Lip Wand , which I had read could help with cold sores using LED light therapy.
.
I was skeptical at first, but I had nothing to lose. I used the wand on the affected area every four hours throughout the day. The cool sensation of the device immediately soothed the irritation, and after the first few sessions, the discomfort began to subside. The area still looked red and a bit swollen, but the tingling sensation had already lessened.
Day 2: A Noticeable Change in Size
.
By the next morning, the cold sore had grown as they normally would, but this time it didn’t flare up or become filled with pus. The swelling was still present, but it wasn’t as severe, and the sore looked much less inflamed than usual. I continued using the Glotech™ Lip Wand every four hours. By the afternoon, there was a noticeable decrease in size. The light therapy reduced the redness and swelling, making the cold sore feel less noticeable. While I would typically expect the blister to worsen, this time it started shrinking much sooner than expected.
Day 3: Almost Gone
...
By Day 3, I could barely see the cold sore. What normally takes over a week to heal was now almost gone in just three days. There was still a slight mark, but it was much less visible, and the area didn’t feel tender or painful anymore.
..
I couldn’t believe how quickly the Glotech™ Lip Wand had worked. Typically, a cold sore would leave me feeling self-conscious and uncomfortable for several days, but this time, the healing process was faster and much less of a hassle. I felt confident enough to attend my event without worrying about a glaring cold sore on my lip.
Final Thoughts
..
Cold sores are never fun, but the Glotech™ Lip Wand turned what could have been a week-long ordeal into a manageable three-day journey. Using it every four hours helped reduce the size and severity of the sore, making the whole experience far less stressful than usual.
.
If you’re someone who deals with cold sores, this device could be a game-changer. Not only did it soothe the discomfort, but it also sped up the healing process in a way I hadn’t experienced before. I’m definitely keeping this tool handy for future flare-ups!

Consistent use will ensure that your skin continues to look radiant and youthful.

3 Skincare Ingredients Proven to Supercharge LED Treatments and 2 That Will Sabotage Them
LED treatments are a cornerstone of modern dermatological care, offering a non-invasive solution to combat aging, reduce inflammation, and enhance skin rejuvenation. However, the effectiveness of LED therapy can be greatly influenced by the skincare ingredients used in conjunction with the treatments. In this blog, we'll explore three key ingredients that can significantly boost the benefits of LED therapy, and we'll also highlight two types of ingredients to avoid, as they may impair your treatment's effectiveness.
Superchargers for LED Treatments
.
Bakuchiol: The Plant-based Powerhouse
.
Bakuchiol, often touted as a natural alternative to retinol, stands out for its ability to deliver similar benefits without the irritation typically associated with retinoids. This potent antioxidant enhances cell renewal, boosts collagen production, and visibly reduces signs of aging. When used with LED treatments, bakuchiol can significantly intensify these effects. The CC Ageless Complex harnesses the power of bakuchiol, making it an excellent addition to your LED therapy regimen to achieve a more youthful and vibrant complexion. Enhance your skincare routine with the CC Ageless Complex by visiting here .
Copper Peptides: The Skin Repair Enhancer
.
Copper peptides are renowned for their healing properties, including their ability to promote collagen and elastin production, which can diminish as we age. When paired with LED treatments, these peptides can accelerate the skin’s repair processes, reduce redness, and increase firmness and elasticity. The Biocell Copper Peptides serum is enriched with copper peptides and is specifically formulated to enhance the results of LED therapy, providing not only rejuvenation but also intensive moisture and firmness. Get into the rejuvenating properties of the Biocell Copper Peptides here .
Hyaluronic Acid: The Ultimate Moisturizer
.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a powerhouse humectant capable of holding 1000 times its weight in water, making it an essential ingredient for maximum hydration. Integrating HA with LED therapy can dramatically improve hydration levels, minimize the appearance of fine lines, and support the skin’s healing and regenerative processes. Our Hydrogels are designed to complement LED light wavelengths, ensuring deeper penetration and optimal hydration. Explore the benefits of Hydrogels for your LED treatment here.
Ingredients to Avoid
.
To ensure the best outcomes from your LED therapy, certain ingredients should be avoided as they can hinder the effectiveness of the treatments:
.
Essential Oils
.
Essential oils, while popular for their scent and purported therapeutic properties, can cause skin sensitivity and irritation, particularly when used in conjunction with LED treatments. Their use can counteract the benefits of LED therapy by promoting inflammation rather than reducing it.
Chemical Sunscreens and SPF Products
.
Sun protection is important for skin health, but certain sunscreens, especially those containing chemicals like avobenzone and octinoxate, may react negatively under LED lights. Additionally, SPF products can block the LED light from penetrating the skin effectively, reducing the efficacy of the treatment. It's advisable to use mineral-based sunscreens without SPF or to ensure that any SPF is fully removed before undergoing LED therapy to maximize your results.
By integrating bakuchiol, copper peptides, and hyaluronic acid into your skincare routine while avoiding essential oils and SPF-containing products, you can dramatically enhance the effectiveness of your LED treatments. LED Esthetics is dedicated to providing top-tier products that not only complement your skincare regimen but also support and amplify the benefits of LED therapy. Discover our curated selection and elevate your skincare experience to new heights.

6 Tips for Maximizing Your Light Therapy Device
Every purchase should aim to provide you with greater value for your money. You can utilize your light therapy device to its full potential in a variety of ways, from combining it with other therapies to just taking good care of it.
Is It Possible To Overuse Your Light Therapy Device?
.
Light therapy responds strongly to daily, numerous applications, and utilizing it more frequently will yield faster benefits than other skincare treatments. You should use your device for the recommended amount of time for each treatment region as specified in the instructions, which vary from device to device. For optimum results, use your light treatment equipment up to three times daily.
.
You should test your light treatment gadget to make sure your skin doesn't respond negatively before using it frequently. You can do this by testing the device for no longer than three minutes on your forearm. After two hours, if there is no reaction, you can continue regularly utilizing your light treatment device.
.
How much time can you spend using your light therapy device?
.
Depending on the type of device, there are different guidelines for how long to use LED light treatment. We advise starting at 10 mins and gradually working your way up to 30 mins. Reading the directions and contacting customer service if you have any questions is important.
How to Use Your Light Therapy Device to Its Full Potential
1. Track progress with before and after photos
.
Before you start utilizing one of our skincare tools, take a few pictures of your face. For both sides, we advise a fresh, makeup-free appearance with a headshot and profile photo. Repeat the photo process four weeks after using light treatment consistently. Take another batch of pictures after 12 weeks of regular use, then compare the variations. For consistency in your images, take the picture in the same location and at the same time of day.
.
Changes to your skin, such as the disappearance of acne or the reduction of wrinkles, may be slow because our lights are noninvasive and function from the inside out. However, you'll be glad you kept track of your progress since changes are apparent!
2. Set reminders
.
You're occupied. How can a person who is busy find the time to rejuvenate their skin? Obviously, by setting a daily reminder. To ensure that you are getting in your daily skin rejuvenation, set an alert on your phone. Plan your time for your light therapy sessions.
3. Consistency is key
.
Consistent light therapy is most effective. Making your light treatment equipment a regular part of your routine is the simplest method to use it consistently.
4. Start with a clean face
.
For maximum efficiency while using a light treatment device on your face, you must start by thoroughly cleaning your face. Before using your device, make sure to completely clean your skin, especially if you're using sunscreen or a moisturizer that contains sunscreen. A wide spectrum of light wavelengths are blocked by sunscreen, which can lessen the benefits of your LED light treatment equipment.
5. Use serums with LED therapy
.
A lot of skincare items can be used in conjunction with your light therapy device to expedite the procedure if you're looking for quicker results, such as:
.
- Vitamin C serum can help brighten your complexion and increase your radiance when used in conjunction with red light treatment.
- Retinol: While it was always thought that using retinol and LED light treatment concurrently was not advisable, new research indicates that, when used in the proper sequence, retinol and red light therapy can be combined for the greatest anti-aging results. Prior to using a retinol product, you should always utilize your light therapy device. To avoid any unforeseen skin responses, it is essential to do it.
6. Take care of your device
.
Making the most of your investment in your light treatment items requires taking care of your light therapy device. Even though it might seem apparent, you should always turn off your device when not in use and clean it according to the manufacturer's instructions.
A Regular Part of Your Routine Is Light Therapy
.
Regardless matter whether it's your morning skincare regimen or your post-workout recuperation, all of our light therapy devices are made to be simple to incorporate into your daily health routine. Utilizing your light treatment device consistently, taking good care of it, and improving its efficiency by combining it with other suggested goods are all simple ways to get the most out of it.

Glotech™ Acne Wand: Your new secret weapon against stubborn acne
In the dynamic world of skincare, personalization is key. Everyone's skin is unique, with its own set of characteristics and needs. The advent of LED light therapy, particularly with the innovative Glotech™ devices, has opened up new possibilities for tailored skincare routines. Whether you're dealing with dry, oily, combination, sensitive, or aging skin, Glotech™ offers a solution. Here's how to maximize the benefits of your Glotech™ device for every skin type.
Understanding Your Skin Type
.
Before diving into routines, it's crucial to understand your skin type:
- Dry Skin: Characterized by rough, flaky, or itchy skin.
- Oily Skin: Identified by an excess of sebum, often resulting in shiny skin and enlarged pores.
- Combination Skin: A mix of dry and oily skin, usually oily in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) and dry elsewhere.
- Sensitive Skin: Reacts easily to stimuli with redness, itching, or rashes.
- Mature Skin: Shows signs of aging like wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of elasticity.
Glotech™ for Every Skin Type
.
Dry Skin: For dry skin, hydration is important. The Glotech™ device with red light therapy can help. Red light is known for its ability to penetrate deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production, which can improve skin hydration and texture. Before each session, use the hydrogel masks to lock in moisture.
.
Oily Skin: Blue light therapy is your ally if you have oily skin. Glotech™ devices emitting blue light can target oil glands and reduce their activity, helping to control sebum production and minimize acne outbreaks. Follow up with a light, non-comedogenic moisturizer to maintain skin balance.
.
Combination Skin: Combination skin benefits from a mixed approach. Use blue light on oily areas and red light on dry patches. The versatility of Glotech™ devices allows you to target different areas with different treatments, addressing all your skin concerns in one routine.
.
Sensitive Skin: For sensitive skin, gentleness is key. Use Glotech™ for shorter periods - start with about 5 minutes. Red and near-infrared lights are ideal as they are less likely to cause irritation. Always follow up with a soothing serum or cream, preferably one designed for sensitive skin.
.
Mature Skin: Red and near-infrared lights can work wonders for mature skin. These wavelengths encourage collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving skin elasticity. Pair your Glotech™ sessions with a Biocell Copper Peptide to enhance anti-aging effects.
General Tips for Maximizing Benefits
- Consistency is Crucial: Regular use of your Glotech™ device is essential for seeing results. Stick to a routine for at least a few weeks to start noticing changes.
- Clean Skin for Better Results: Always start with a clean face. This ensures maximum light penetration and effectiveness.
- Post-Session Care: After each session, apply a serum or moisturizer to enhance the effects of light therapy.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to support your skin's health from the inside out.
- Protect Your Skin: While LED therapy doesn't emit harmful UV rays, it's always good to protect your skin with SPF during the day.
Conclusion
.
No matter your skin type, Glotech™ offers a flexible and effective solution to incorporate into your skincare routine. By understanding your specific skin needs and following these tailored tips, you can maximize the benefits of your Glotech™ device, leading to healthier, more radiant skin.
.
Remember, the key to effective skincare is not just the tools you use but how you use them. Glotech™ provides the technology; it's up to you to make the most of it for your unique skin needs.

How to Incorporate LED Light Therapy in Your Daily Skincare Routine
In our busy lives, we often forget to give ourselves the care we need and deserve. Amidst all the hustle and bustle, it's essential to take some time out for ourselves. Our skincare routine is one such personal time that we should treasure and make the most out of. Incorporating LED light therapy in your daily skincare routine can be a game-changer, and here’s how you can do it.
Understanding LED Light Therapy
Before incorporating LED light therapy into your routine, it's crucial to understand what it is. LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy uses varying wavelengths of light, including red and blue. Originally used by NASA, this technique has been clinically proven to provide numerous therapeutic benefits to the skin.
Importance of LED Light Therapy
LED light therapy is a non-invasive skincare treatment that targets a variety of skin issues like acne, inflammation, and signs of aging. It boosts collagen production, promoting more youthful-looking skin, and kills acne-causing bacteria, reducing breakouts. It also helps in reducing inflammation and improving the skin's overall texture.
How to Incorporate LED Light Therapy in Your Routine
Start with Clean Skin and Apply Corrective CC Serum
For LED light therapy to work most effectively, you need to start with clean, fresh skin. Make sure to cleanse your face thoroughly with a suitable face wash or cleanser. It's also recommended to exfoliate 1-2 times a week to remove dead skin cells and allow better light penetration. Before you start the LED therapy, apply a layer of corrective CC serum. The serum will help to further enhance the effects of the light therapy.
Use an LED Light Therapy Device
The market is flooded with at-home LED light therapy devices like the Mask & Glo Pro. These devices are easy to use and can be incorporated into your routine without hassle. Simply put on the device like a mask, select your desired light setting, and leave it on for the recommended time.
Post-Therapy Skincare: Hydrogel Application
After the LED therapy session, it's time to lock in the benefits with a Hydrogel. These gel-based skincare products are excellent for providing deep hydration and soothing the skin after light therapy. Just apply a hydrogel all over your face and let it absorb.
Finish with a Moisturizer
Following the hydrogel, you can finish your routine with your favorite moisturizer to further lock in moisture and the benefits of the LED light therapy.
Consistency is Key
Like any skincare treatment, consistency is key with LED light therapy. Incorporating it into your daily routine will yield the best results. Remember, patience is vital, as noticeable results usually take a few weeks to appear.
By understanding the benefits of LED light therapy and how to use it, you can easily incorporate this advanced skincare treatment into your routine. So, say hello to glowing, healthier skin every day.
