Our top picks for the best red light therapy devices for the neck in 2025
How, you might ask? “Red light has been shown to have multiple benefits for the skin and penetrates more deeply than shorter wavelengths,” says Dr. Luke Maxfield, a board-certified dermatologist based in Wilmington, NC. “As the light penetrates, it increases growth factors like fibroblast growth factor and other signals that help the growth of collagen, extracellular matrix, and activates cellular mitochondrial pathways.” Over time, wrinkles, dark spots, and texture fade, while the skin gains back some of its elasticity, “creating a tighter, more plumped appearance to the overall areas,” adds Andrew Silberstein, the CEO of Solawave.
We asked several experts for their insights and advice, combed the internet, and went through hundreds of customer reviews to narrow the options. After some thorough research, we were able to put together the below guide to the seven best light therapy devices for the neck and décolletage.

How long does it take to see results from red light therapy?
The simple answer is that it varies. “Depending on the specific LED light used, while some benefits can be seen after a single session, it can take several sessions or one to three months for full benefits to be seen. For red light, which is thought to help with collagen production, results may take up to three to six months.” She adds that at-home LED devices are not the same as ones used for in-office treatments, which utilize higher energy levels and can provide quicker or more noticeable results in some cases.
Is there anyone who shouldn’t use red light therapy?
You can rest assured that red light therapy is safe for most people. “The reason that red light therapy is one of the few over-the-counter devices that is so widely recommendable is the safety. Unlike blue light, which in theory may make hyperpigmentation or melasma worse, there is really no reason someone wouldn’t be able to use red light therapy,” says Dr. Maxfield.
However, Dr. Garshick and Silberstein warn that certain people should avoid these devices altogether. Red light therapy “is not recommended for individuals with photosensitivity disorders, those taking photosensitizing medications, or people with specific skin conditions, such as severe acne or rashes,” explains Dr. Garshick. “Different devices have their own set of warnings, so always read the instruction manual to confirm if a device is suitable for you,” Silberstein adds.
