Throughout our lives, our hormones and bodies shift, meaning our approach to skincare, wellness, and self-care needs to evolve too. For many women, the perimenopausal and menopausal years bring some of the most noticeable changes, physically, emotionally, and hormonally. While it can be hard to know what works best, our founders, Laura and Hannah, have turned to light therapy consistently for almost 20 years. Why? Because LED supports cellular function in a non-invasive, adaptive way, meaning your body responds to the light based on what it needs most in that moment.
WAYS LIGHT THERAPY SUPPORTS WOMEN HEALTH
We’ve gathered some of the most meaningful ways light therapy can support you through hormonal changes, from skin and muscle relief to better sleep and greater self-confidence, alongside stories from real women who’ve felt its impact.
HORMONAL SKIN SUPPORT
Shifting hormone levels can bring breakouts, dryness, pigmentation, and uneven tone, often around the chin, jawline, or mouth. Red (633nm) and near-infrared (830nm) LED light support skin rejuvenation by stimulating collagen and promoting cellular repair, helping to visibly calm inflammation and even out the complexion.
In-clinic, blue LED (415nm) can be used alongside red light to target bacteria associated with blemishes and help regulate oil production, offering further support for hormonally sensitive skin.
“I had hormonal breakouts from PCOS that were affecting my confidence at work. Regular LED helped me manage both the breakouts and the pigmentation left behind, gently and without needing harsh products or medication.” - Pip
RELIEF FROM PHYSICAL TENSION & PAIN
Muscle aches, cramps, and general tension often intensify during perimenopause. The Boost LED Body Patch can be placed on areas like the lower back, abdomen, or thighs to deliver therapeutic warmth and comfort. The clinically proven wavelengths temporarily increase local circulation, helping ease discomfort and restore a sense of ease.
“I’ve had debilitating period pains since I was 15, and now they’re worse with age. The warmth and comfort of the Patch calms the cramping, it’s the first thing I reach for now.” - Emma
POSTPARTUM TO PERMENOPAUSE RECOVERY
Whether you’ve recently had a child or are entering a new hormonal chapter, your body deserves care. LED supports the skin’s natural regeneration while offering a calming moment of stillness. It may also help ease lower back strain and postural tension by relaxing muscles and enhancing local circulation.
“As a busy mum, using the Boost at night is my mental reset. I meditate while wearing it and feel like I’m nourishing both my skin and my mind.” – Shona
RENEWING MENOPAUSAL SKIN
As oestrogen declines, collagen and hyaluronic acid production naturally slow, which can lead to dryness, a loss of firmness, and increased sensitivity. Red and near-infrared LED help support the skin’s natural processes by encouraging collagen production and improving hydration, elasticity, and overall texture. With consistent use, many find their skin feels stronger, plumper, and more balanced - at a time when everything else may feel in flux.
“I’m in my late forties and love the plumping effect. It boosts my confidence before seeing clients or filming on social - I honestly don’t think I could live without it.” - Florrie
SUPPORTING SCALOP HEALTH, SLEEP & SELF-CARE
Hair thinning and disrupted sleep are common challenges during and after menopause. Near-infrared LED is often used in clinics to support scalp wellness and hair density, while red light has been studied for its potential to support natural melatonin levels - the hormone responsible for sleep regulation. Those who use our devices regularly often find it’s a soothing way to unwind, promoting better rest and a sense of calm before bed.
“If I wake in the night, I use the Mask. The red light feels calming and helps me drift back off. I even wear it while lying on my side - it’s so flexible and easy.” - Katie
A LIFELONG SUPPORT TOOL
From your first hormonal shifts through to menopause and beyond, LED light therapy is a gentle yet powerful way to care for your skin, body, and emotional wellbeing. For many women, it’s more than a device, it’s a trusted part of their self-care, meeting them exactly where they are.
