The Truth About Red Light Therapy

You’ve probably seen red light therapy all over social media—from influencers hyping up expensive masks to brands making big promises about collagen, inflammation, and skin tone. But does it actually work?

Hi, I’m Dr. Shim Ching, board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of Shim Ching MD Skincare. In this video, I’m cutting through the noise to explain the real science behind red light therapy—and why not all LED masks are created equal.

Whether you're considering buying a red light mask, or already have one and aren’t seeing results, this video will help you understand what matters most: wavelengths, energy output, and how often you actually use it.

I’ll also break down why I created my own LED mask—and what makes it different from most consumer-grade options on the market.

What You’ll Learn:

💡 How red light therapy actually works at the cellular level

💡 The difference between red light and near-infrared—and why both matter

💡 Common myths about red light masks (spoiler: expensive doesn’t mean effective)

💡 Why device power and consistency are more important than price

💡 What results you can realistically expect—plus what it won’t do

💡 Why Dr. Ching designed his own mask, and how it compares to the others
