How it works

How LLLT works

Equinox uses Light Modulation low-level light therapy (LM LLLT), which is designed to trigger endogenous heating by stimulating ATP production in skin cells.

Endogenous heating

LM LLLT is designed to warm the treated area from within by stimulating ATP production in skin cells, for localized heat on the face and eyelids.

Red light

Equinox red light is intended to help reduce inflammation and stimulate ATP production.

Blue light

Equinox blue light is intended to help target bacteria.

Yellow light

Equinox yellow light is intended to support drainage and help reduce swelling.

Quick sessions

Equinox treatment is designed to be painless and takes 15 minutes.
