Red Light Therapy: The New Queen of Skincare, and How to Get Treated Without Spending $1,000s

Sponsored Content

Here at The Get Well, we pride ourselves on a keen awareness of skincare, beauty, and wellness trends, picking up on them before they fully establish themselves in the public eye. Red light therapy is one such trend. Celebrities (and their makeup artists) as well as licensed medical professionals have all cited the powerful benefits of this skincare treatment. Just last week, someone on our team noticed SZA posting from a red light therapy bed (and saying so in the comments)… that’s how you know.

The 411 on RLT

Red light therapy (RLT) is just as it sounds: the application of red light wavelengths to the skin. It falls under the umbrella of “phototherapy,” the use of ultraviolet light to treat skin conditions. Reasons for using RLT include reducing wrinkles, scars, and stretch marks, minimizing inflammation, and treating acne. It’s also known to have an illuminating effect on the skin.

Much like a manicure, you can either seek this service at a salon or with an at-home setup. Comparing the two formats comes down to price, and according to our research, salons generally charge about $55 per facial session. Some won’t even list their rates, for fear of discouraging customers, and instead ask people to contact them for a quote. Money aside, the hassle that goes into scheduling appointments adds insult to injury: fitting them into the workday, making your way to a salon, etc. This is where Solawave comes in.

Meet our Favorite At-Home RLT Brand: Solawave

We’re proud to say that we’ve sworn by Solawave since the very beginning,  and they’ve maintained a stellar reputation since Day 1. Over the last couple of years, they received recognition from outlets across the industry: Women’s and Men’s Health, Allure, and USA Today (to name just a few). That’s not to mention the use by celebs including Reese Witherspoon, Doja Cat, and Sydney Sweeney. 

Solawave’s hero product, the 4-in-1 Radiant Renewal Skincare Wand, is just that—a magic wand. In addition to red light therapy, it combines three additional treatments in one tool: Galvanic Current, Therapeutic Warmth, and Facial Massage… all for good reason. 

• Red Light Therapy: reduces wrinkles, scars, and stretch marks, minimizing inflammation, and treating acne
• Galvanic Current: boosts the skin’s ability to absorb topical products, leading to healthier and more hydrated skin
• Therapeutic Warmth: soothes skin and helps with product absorption
• Facial Massage: promotes circulation and lymphatic drainage

Crunching the Numbers

The Solawave 4-in-1 Radiant Renewal Skincare Wand costs $169 USD ($198 USDif you opt for the Activating Serum Kit). Unlike a salon treatment, which has to be scheduled (and paid for) again and again, these items are purchased once to use over and over.

Say you buy the Solawave kit for just under $200 USD, and use it on your face 3x a week (as recommended) for one year. If you were to schedule salon facial red light therapy treatments just once a week for a year, you would pay just under $2900. That means Solawave could save you thousands of dollars for the same effects and the convenience of at-home practicioning. #WINNING

Surfing the Solawave

Solawave’s customers cannot stop praising the 4-in-1 Radiant Renewal Skincare Wand. Here’s what some of them had to say:

• “I’m 65 and not expecting my wrinkles to vanish, but using the Wand from Solawave has really impressed me. My skin is glowing, my face is less puffy, and I’ve seen a real result in my frown lines and forehead wrinkles. It also feels just lovely.” -Sue, 65
  
• “Using it daily was easy and it quickly became a simple addition to my skincare routine. Over the last 30 days, I’ve definitely seen a positive change in my skin tone and texture. I couldn’t be happier with the results!” -Sandy, 57
  
• “I have been using the wand daily for over 2 weeks now. I do see a difference in my wrinkles & brightness of my skin. I am 52 years old & don’t want to do botox. I have very dry skin & use my own moisturizer with argan oil for easy glide of the wand. The above pics are before & after – I even see a difference in the neck area! Will keep using it every day!” -Julia, 52

We hinted at this earlier, but Solawave epitomizes the title “award-winning”… their 4-in-1 Radiant Renewal Skincare Wand won 7 awards from giants in the industry. In summary, advanced at-home red light therapy is so much easier—to use and to access—than it sounds. Our team will watch movies or scroll through social media while using their Solawave 4-in-1 Radiant Renewal Skincare Wands—they’re that simple. It’s 2024… of course modern skincare is improving. And you can get in on the action without (a) breaking the bank or (b) leaving your home.

Oh, and last but not least, Solawave is SO confident that their wand will deliver results that they give customers 60 full days to try the wand risk-free.

Now go forth and beautify your skin with this magical skincare wand!
