Nanoleaf made a vibrating light therapy skincare wand
Nanoleaf is getting serious about its expansion into beauty tech, adding two new LED red light-emitting devices to its product lineup. The company says that its new Light Therapy Wand brings “the benefits of a professional facial into the palm of your hand,” while its new Light Therapy Panel uses 160 “high-focus LEDs” to provide whole body care.
While Nanoleaf is better known for its popular range of smart home lighting tech, it started applying its lighting expertise to beauty gadgets with the introduction of its $150 LED face mask at CES this year. Other home-focused companies like Dyson and Shark have similarly jumped into the world of beauty products, respectively launching popular hair-drying and styling tools.
The $99.99 Light Therapy Wand is available for preorder now on the Nanoleaf website, with shipments expected by mid-October. Nanoleaf describes it as a “6-in-1 skincare power tool” that provides six treatments: red, blue, and near-infrared light therapy, alongside modes for vibration, heating, and cooling. It’s rechargeable, provides adjustable intensity levels, and has a built-in auto-off timer to customize treatments. It’s designed for facial treatments, but its handheld format also allows it to treat areas that products like Nanoleaf’s LED face mask can’t reach, such as the neck or scalp.
The Nanoleaf Light Therapy Panel is roughly the size of a tablet device, and is available now for $149.99. It’s designed to treat muscle recovery, collagen production, joint stiffness, and deep cellular renewal, according to Nanoleaf, using a combination of dual wavelength red light (630nm) and near-infrared light (850nm) technology. It provides four intensity levels, a customizable timer to set 10-30 minute sessions, and allows users to sit in front of it to treat specific areas of their body.
Personal light therapy gadgets are already popular among skincare enthusiasts, so Nanoleaf’s interest in this industry isn’t entirely surprising as a company that’s already devoted itself to LED tech. But while light therapy can be beneficial for treating issues like wrinkles, acne, psoriasis, and other skin conditions, the tools used by medical professionals are usually stronger, and it’s hard to determine how at-home devices compare.
Nanoleaf does have one clear advantage over its competitors in this market, however — it can source LEDs at a competitive price, making its beauty products some of the most affordable on the market.
