Red Light Therapy: The Leading Beauty Trend of 2025 with a 59% Surge
Red light therapy has taken the beauty industry by storm in 2025. Search interest has seen a 59% increase over the past year, hitting 2.5 million searches per month, as per trend analysis data. The global market for red light therapy devices touched $362.4 million in 2024 and is forecasted to soar to $620 million by 2032, boasting a compound annual growth rate of 8.8%.
This innovative technology employs specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light (630-850nm) to penetrate the skin. It stimulates cellular energy production in mitochondria, thereby enhancing collagen synthesis, reducing inflammation, and accelerating healing. Clinical studies vouch for its effectiveness in treating wrinkles, fine lines, acne, and even promoting hair growth. As beauty experts endorse, “Red light therapy is scientifically proven to clear skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and boost overall radiance.”
The trend caught fire on TikTok in early 2024 when celebrities began showcasing LED masks from brands like Omnilux. Today, at-home devices are making professional-grade treatments accessible for daily use. Handheld devices, in particular, are leading the market due to their portability and ease of use. The technology’s integration into subscription-based spa models and combination treatments with microcurrent and topical infusion is revolutionizing the skincare industry.
