Green Light Therapy for Skin: What It Is Used For

Red and blue get most of the attention, but green light has its own place in an LED skincare routine. Here is what green light therapy for skin is used for, who usually chooses it, and how it fits alongside the other colors on an at-home mask.

What green light is used for

Green is the color people choose for a more even-looking skin tone. It is used for less visible dark spots and a more uniform, balanced look overall. Many people also simply enjoy it: green is a soft, calming light, and a green session at the end of the day can feel like a small moment of rest.

Who usually chooses green

  • Uneven tone: if your skin looks blotchy or patchy in photos.
  • Visible dark spots: for spots that look less visible over time.
  • A calming routine: people who use their mask in the evening to unwind.

Green vs yellow: which one for tone?

Both green and yellow are used for a more even-looking tone, and people often switch between them.

  • Green is the pick for less visible dark spots and a more balanced look.
  • Yellow is the pick for a brighter, more radiant look, with less visible redness.

If dull skin is your main concern, try yellow. If spots and an uneven tone bother you more, start with green. Our LED mask colors guide compares all 7 colors side by side.

Combining green with other colors

Very few people use only one color. A common approach is to pick one main color for your main goal, then add another on different days. For example, red for firmer-looking skin and softer-looking fine lines, then green for a more even-looking tone. With a 7-color mask you do not need a second device to change your routine.

How to use green light at home

  1. Cleanse your face and neck and pat dry.
  2. Put on the face mask and the neck piece.
  3. Long press the button to turn the mask on, then short press until the light is green.
  4. Relax and read or watch through the eye openings.

Follow the user manual for session times. For the full routine and habits that help, see our how to use guide.

Give it time

A more even-looking tone is not something you see after one session. What makes the difference is using your mask regularly and being patient. Take a photo in the same light every week so you can compare how your skin looks over time, instead of judging it in the mirror every morning.

Green light for your face and neck

Tone differences often show between the face and the neck. Dermalumae™ has 426 LEDs, 270 on the face mask and 156 on the neck piece, so both get the same green light in one session. It is cordless (about 1.5 hours per charge), with one simple button for all 7 colors. See the Dermalumae™ mask: $149, with free US shipping and a 30-day money back guarantee.

Individual results vary. Dermalumae™ is a cosmetic device and is not intended to diagnose or treat any condition. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, or take medication that increases light sensitivity, check with your doctor before using any LED device.
