The Science

Not a trend — a clinical method.

The technologies behind yumeskin. — EMS microcurrent and red & near-infrared light therapy — are backed by peer-reviewed clinical research. Below are some of the studies that inform our work.

Red & NIR Light
2007
Lee SY et al. — Split-face LED phototherapy at 633 nm and 830 nm
Randomized, placebo-controlled split-face trial reporting improvements in wrinkle measurements, elasticity, and collagen-related skin markers after repeated 633 nm and/or 830 nm LED phototherapy.

Red & NIR Light
2014
Wunsch A, Matuschka K. — Red/NIR light, skin roughness and collagen density
Controlled clinical trial reporting improvements in skin roughness, complexion, wrinkle appearance, and ultrasound-measured collagen density after repeated red and near-infrared light sessions. Note: sponsor-funded study.

Microcurrent stimulation in the treatment of facial aging
Clinical research indicates that microcurrent (EMS) increases ATP production, stimulates fibroblasts and improves muscle tone — contributing to a visibly lifted, firmer eye and face contour with consistent use.
