Conventional Treatments and Their Drawbacks
There is no shortage of prescription options, ranging from topical steroids to immunomodulators and UVB phototherapy, as well as systemic medications for some.
While many of these approaches offer temporary relief, they often come with compromises:
-
Topicals may cause thinning of the skin and lose effectiveness with prolonged use
-
Broad-spectrum phototherapy requires frequent clinic visits and can become quite costly for a condition that requires regular treatment
-
Systemics and biologics can suppress your immune system and may require regular blood tests, long-term monitoring, and high costs
For many, it becomes a question of balance: Is there a way to support my skin gently, without pushing it to its limits?
How Red Light Therapy Works
Red light therapy, also known as low-level light therapy (LLLT), delivers wavelengths between 630 and 850 nm directly into the skin. These wavelengths reach the mitochondria, your cells’ energy source, and stimulate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production.
This energy powers healing, reduces inflammatory markers, and enhances skin function from within—all common symptoms associated with eczema.
Unlike UV-based treatments, red light carries no risk of skin damage or photoaging. It’s a regenerative, not damaging, form of light that offers powerful and clinically supported healing.
Red light therapy speaks to what eczema-prone skin needs:
-
It calms inflammation, gently reducing redness and swelling without chemicals
-
It soothes the chronic and all too familiar eczema itch, providing comfort that doesn’t rely on steroids
-
It balances cell turnover, helping the skin repair itself more effectively
-
It helps restore the skin barrier, so moisture stays in and irritants stay out
If your skin often feels fragile or overreactive, red light therapy offers a way to strengthen the skin's foundation without depleting essential moisture.
A Closer Look at the Clinical Benefits
Red light therapy has shown promising outcomes across both clinical studies and real-world applications.
A pivotal 2011 pilot study by Photomedicine and Laser Surgery investigating the effects of 630 nm red light therapy reported substantial reductions in typical symptoms of inflammatory skin conditions, including itching, scaling, and redness, without any documented side effects.
Complementing this, another clinical trial found that 79% of participants experienced relief from itching, while 71% observed a noticeable decrease in rash severity following consistent LED therapy.
Dermatologists also increasingly recommend red light therapy for psoriasis, acne, and a host of other skin conditions, as a non-invasive, at-home maintenance tool to extend the benefits of in-clinic treatments or to support prescription regimens.
How to Use Red Light Therapy At Home
Red light therapy offers a gentle, evidence-backed approach to managing eczema symptoms. But most often, you can only access these benefits through a skincare clinic, which can be costly and inconvenient.
A red light therapy mask lets you access this advanced care from the comfort of your own home, featuring clinically precise wavelengths and personalized app-guided protocols.
Before Treatment
Start with a clean surface to make sure you don’t accidentally introduce irritants or reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
Gently cleanse the skin using a mild, non-stripping cleanser. Avoid applying occlusive creams or oils beforehand, as they can interfere with light penetration and reduce the treatment's efficacy. These ingredients can scatter or block light, reducing its effectiveness.
During Treatment
Select the red (630 nm) or near-infrared (850 nm) light setting in the Qure app, both of which are known for their anti-inflammatory and reparative benefits.
Place the Q-Rejuvalight Pro LED Mask over the affected area and use it for 5 to 10 minutes per session, either once daily or every other day, based on your skin’s sensitivity. The app allows you to track usage and adjust frequency to suit your individual needs.
After Treatment
Immediately after your session, apply a fragrance-free, barrier-repair moisturizer (ideally one containing ceramides or hyaluronic acid) to lock in hydration and support the healing process.
Avoid using exfoliants, acids, or other active treatments on the area for at least a few hours after treatment to prevent irritation.
When Can You Expect Results?
Most users experience relief within 7 to 14 days. With continued, consistent use, visible improvements such as reduced redness, flaking, and improved skin smoothness typically emerge over 2 to 4 weeks.
Regular use may also help decrease the frequency and intensity of future flare-ups by reinforcing the skin’s natural defenses.
