Red light therapy, in the words of MD PhD Dr. Daniel Gould, is “a valuable tool in the anti-aging arsenal.”
Given the opportunity to age as well as, say, Jennifer Aniston, most of us would say yes. Unfortunately, Jen has access to the specialists, treatments, and just plain money that make aging as seamless as possible. The average person doesn’t have it so easy—that is, we didn’t, until Solawave’s red light therapy collection came onto the scene.
We’re hard-core red light therapy fans at The Get Well, and while most of our team is under 40, we recently learned that red light therapy is as universally applicable as face wash, in that it is both recommended and beneficial for people of all ages. The treatment is effective for both ends of the spectrum, as it preemptively protects from and reduces ongoing signs of aging. Case in point? We’ve pretty much gifted Solawave’s Wrinkle Retreat Light Therapy Mask to every mother, aunt, and grandmother in our lives.
Why We Love Solawave
But first! A quick interlude to get you up-to-speed on who Solawave is and just why we love them so much. Founded in 2020, their mission has always been the same: to make red light therapy accessible to the average person at home. They’ve done exceedingly well at it, as evidenced by the loads of press coverage and praise they’ve received. Their first product alone, the 4-in-1 Radiant Renewal Skincare Wand, has 7 awards (and counting). The “magic” wand also won a 2023 Women’s Health and Beauty Award in the skincare division. Suffice it to say Solawave knows what they’re doing.
You really can’t go wrong with any of Solawave’s red light therapy devices, but they’re each designed for slightly different purposes. With that, here are our top anti-aging Solawave recommendations, alongside insights as to which is best for you/your intended recipient.
Our Beloved Full-Face Pick: Wrinkle Retreat Light Therapy Mask
The Wrinkle Retreat Light Therapy Mask is a full-face, rechargable mask made with flexible, medical-grade silicone that contours to the face for a comfy and thorough treatment. Two types of light emanate from the mask—red and near infrared. Together, they help to rejuvenate and refresh the skin by increasing radiance and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
It’s easy to see why women in particular tend to gravitate toward the Wrinkle Retreat Light Therapy Mask—those pesky crow’s feet, 11s, and other fine lines are tough to knock out with a simple cream. Fine lines and wrinkles can start to appear after age 25, so it’s never too early to start treating your skin accordingly.
Plus, at $349, the savings are amazing—red light therapy treatments in a salon, or other procedures like fillers and botox, can cost hundreds of dollars per session. When you invest in Solawave, you pay once for hundreds of treatments.
Runner-Up, Another Team Fav: Neck & Chest Rejuvenating Mask
Solawave recently released the Neck and Chest Rejuvenating Mask. True to its name, this tool is shaped to fit the neck and chest, an area prone to signs of aging including wrinkles and loss of elasticity. Yes, red light therapy helps lift and firm the skin!
Just like the Wrinkle Retreat Mask, the Neck and Chest Rejuvenating Mask is rechargeable, lightweight, and incredibly easy to use. Simply turn it on, rest for 10 minutes under the glow of salon quality red light, and the mask will turn itself off. But the best part? It’s only $299.
Value Pick (The Original Solawave Red Light Treatment): 4-in-1 Radiant Renewal Skincare Wand
Our value pick for Solawave is the legendary 4-in-1 Radiant Renewal Skincare Wand. Solawave products are incredibly high in value because you they provide salon-level technologies (and results) for a fraction of the price that an actual salon would charge. It’s a wonder more people aren’t talking about this. (JK, they are).
The Radiant Renewal Wand combines red light therapy with therapeutic warmth, glavanic current, and facial massage for an experience that can only be described as reminiscent of a spa. The small size of its head allows you to concentrate on whicheveer specific facial areas you wish–the forehead, jawline, undereyes, etc. Our go-to wand kit includes an Activating Serum to keep the wand moving smoothly across the face. Galvanic current helps the skin to better absorb topical products while therapeutic warmth and facial massage soothe and relax the skin. And red light, well…
What’s So Good About Red Light Therapy?
For starters, it’s non-invasive, which is more than other anti-aging treatments (botox, fillers, laser resurfacing) can say. Board certified plastic surgeon MD PhD Dr. Daniel Gould, explains that the treatment “stimulates the skin to increase collagen deposition and improves skin cell turnover and appearance over time.” Put simply, red light therapy is a catalyst for naturally occurring processes.
Gould’s testament speaks volumes, as someone whose career is devoted to invasive anti-aging procedures. An important note: our team has noticed that consistency is key when it comes to red light therapy. Dr. Daniel Gould agrees—the impressive effects compound over time.
