Have you ever looked in the mirror after a long week and felt like your skin was telling the story of your stress? Perhaps those tiny fine lines around your eyes seem a bit more noticeable, or your complexion looks a little tired and dull. We all have those moments where we wish we could just “hit refresh” on our appearance. While many of us invest in expensive creams and serums, sometimes our skin needs something that goes a bit deeper—a gentle nudge to help it heal and glow from the inside out.
At CHERRY HILL SPA by +Voupre, we believe that self-care isn’t just a luxury; it’s an essential part of maintaining your confidence and long-term skin health. One of the most exciting ways we do this is through Red light therapy, a professional, non-surgical treatment that has become a favorite for men and women across New Jersey. It’s not about drastic changes; it’s about supporting your skin’s natural ability to look its best.

How the light works
So, what exactly is this glow-inducing treatment? At its simplest, Red light therapy (also known as photobiomodulation or low-level laser therapy) involves exposing the skin to specific wavelengths of light. Unlike the harsh ultraviolet rays from the sun or tanning booths that cause damage, these LEDs (light-emitting diodes) provide a therapeutic, painless treatment.
When these Light Emitting Diodes touch your skin, the light travels through the various skin layers. Think of it like photosynthesis for your face! The light is absorbed by the mitochondria—the “powerhouses” of your cells. This boosts ATP production, which is essentially cellular energy. When your cells have more energy, they can repair themselves faster, improve cellular turnover, and increase blood flow. It’s like giving your skin a high-performance battery boost.
The difference in light colors
In the world of light-based wellness, not all colors are created equal. In our professional setting, we often use a combination of red (630nm & 660nm) and Near Infrared (850nm) light.
- Red Light: This is the superstar for anti-aging. It works on the surface to improve skin texture, reduce inflammation, and minimize the appearance of wrinkles.
- Near-infrared light: This goes even deeper, reaching the deep near-infrared levels to help with wound healing, reducing stiffness, and supporting musculoskeletal recovery.
By using medical-grade LEDs, such as those with 880nm near-infrared light, we can target everything from breakouts to elasticity. This isn’t just about looking good; it’s about skin rejuvenation that feels good.
Better skin and collagen
The most common question we get at CHERRY HILL SPA by +Vouprea is, “What will it actually do for me?” The list is impressive. Because the light stimulates dermal fibroblast cells, it triggers a massive boost in collagen and elastin production.
Collagen is what gives our skin its firmness and skin plumpness, while elastin provides that youthful elasticity. As we age, our natural levels of these proteins drop. Professional light therapy helps restore skin density and skin hydration, filling in those fine lines and making the skin feel more resilient.
Beyond anti-aging, this treatment is a powerhouse for:
- Acne: Using blue light (415nm) alongside red can kill bacteria and calm inflammation, preventing future breakouts.
- Skin Tone: It helps even out skin texture and reduces redness.
- Hair Loss: Many people find success using light to stimulate hair follicles.
- Wellness: It’s often used to help with pain from conditions like osteoarthritis, tendinopathy, or rheumatoid arthritis by boosting micro circulation.
Professional vs. home devices
You may have seen red light LED masks, wands, or even the famous Omnilux Contour Face and Shark CryoGlow LED Face Mask on TikTok. While LED face mask options and at-home LED devices like the spectralite™ FaceWare Pro or PRANA LED Light Therapy Mask are popular for maintenance, they often lack the irradiance (power) of professional equipment.
At Cherry Hill Spa, our aesthetician team uses high-end, FDA-cleared technology. Our systems often feature 416 high-energy LEDs and a prismatic inner layer to ensure the light is distributed evenly across all treatment areas. Whether you are looking for a full-face visor experience or a targeted Neck Enhancer, our professional-grade tools provide a more concentrated treatment time and deeper penetration than a standard LED mask you might buy online.
Your visit to the spa
We know that a visit to the spa should be as much about the “vibe” as it is about the results. When you choose us for your LED therapy, you aren’t just getting a procedure; you’re entering a relaxing environment designed for your comfort.
Your session might start with a gentle cleanse, perhaps followed by a Glow Serum or a Green Tea Serum rich in Green Rooibos Extract to enhance the light’s effects. Some clients love pairing light therapy with other services like microcurrent, high frequency, or body contouring for a total transformation.
Unlike a LASER treatment that might require downtime, red light is completely non-invasive. There is no photosensitivity (though you should always wear Sunscreen!), no skin cancer risk (as it contains no UV), and you can go right back to your day in New Jersey looking refreshed.
Personalized skin programs
At Cherry Hill Spa, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Every guest receives a personalized plan. Your aesthetician might suggest different LED colors—red, blue, yellow, green light therapies, or even magenta—depending on your skin concerns.
We might incorporate advanced ingredients like copper peptides (GHK-Cu), phosphatidlycholine, or a Veritace® NFC card system to track your progress. Our modern equipment features auto shut-off and precise session control to ensure the perfect dose of light every time. Whether you want to focus on skin barrier repair or ATP production for a pre-event glow, we tailor the Treatment Modes to you.
Long-term skin health
Think of Red light therapy as a gym membership for your cells. While one session can leave you with an immediate “glow,” the real magic happens with consistency. Regular treatments lead to a permanent improvement in skin health, firmness, and skin hydration. It is an investment in your future self.
By choosing a premium destination like Cherry Hill Spa, you are choosing expertise and the latest in FDA clearance technology. We stay ahead of the trends discussed by dermatologists and in the latest dermatology journals to bring the best of light-based wellness to our local community.
