Your hands tell a story. From the first handshake to the daily tasks you perform, they are constantly exposed, working harder than almost any other part of the body. Yet when it comes to skincare and wellness, hands are often the most overlooked.
While serums, creams, and treatments are lavished on the face, the hands are left vulnerable to dryness, pigmentation, and early signs of ageing.
That’s where red light therapy for hands comes in. This non-invasive treatment is fast becoming one of the most exciting ways to rejuvenate skin, ease stiffness, and restore comfort.
And with Maysama’s upcoming red light therapy hand glove, you can finally bring advanced LED technology, proven for facial rejuvenation, to one of the areas that needs it most.
Why Your Hands Deserve Red Light Therapy
When people think about anti-ageing treatments, their minds usually jump to the face. But the truth is, our hands are one of the first areas to reveal the passage of time.
Constantly exposed to sunlight, temperature changes, and daily wear, hands can develop wrinkles, pigmentation, and dryness earlier than we expect.
Hands also contain thinner skin and fewer sebaceous glands than the face, meaning they dry out more quickly and show signs of ageing faster. And beyond cosmetic concerns, many people experience stiffness, joint discomfort, or circulation issues in their hands.
Whether from arthritis, repetitive strain, or simply ageing, these challenges can impact everyday life.
This is where red light therapy for hands steps in. Using carefully calibrated wavelengths of light, it offers a safe, non-invasive way to rejuvenate skin, improve comfort, and support long-term hand health.
With the launch of Maysama’s new red light therapy hand glove, it’s easier than ever to give your hands the same level of care and technology you already trust for your face and neck.
How Does Red Light Hand Therapy Work?
At its core, red light therapy uses low-level wavelengths of red and near-infrared light (typically 630–850 nm) to stimulate the cells in your skin and underlying tissues. These wavelengths penetrate the skin where they are absorbed by mitochondria, the powerhouses of your cells.
When exposed to light energy, mitochondria produce more ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is essentially cellular fuel. With more energy available, your cells can:
- Repair damaged tissue more effectively
- Increase collagen and elastin production for firmer skin
- Reduce inflammation in joints and soft tissue
- Boost circulation and oxygen flow to the area
This isn’t just theory. A 2017 review concluded that photobiomodulation therapy significantly reduced musculoskeletal pain compared to placebo. Other studies highlight its benefits for wound healing, collagen stimulation, and even improving circulation.
The result? Hands that not only look younger but also feel more comfortable and resilient.
Why Focus on Hands?
We spend a fortune on serums, masks, and creams for the face, yet our hands are equally visible and just as prone to ageing. The skin on the back of the hands is thinner and contains fewer oil glands, making it more vulnerable to fine lines, sun spots, and dryness.
Conditions that can benefit from red light hand therapy include:
- Skin ageing: Wrinkles, thinning skin, and pigmentation
- Joint pain and stiffness: Common in arthritis or overuse injuries
- Circulation issues: Cold hands, poor healing, or numbness
- Dryness and irritation: From frequent washing or environmental stress
By targeting these concerns with regular sessions, a red light therapy hand glove provides both cosmetic and therapeutic results.
Maysama’s Approach: Pulsed LED Technology
Not all red light devices are created equal. While many companies use continuous LED light, Maysama’s USP lies in Pulsed LED technology.
Pulsing the light allows for:
- Greater depth of penetration compared with static light
- Higher cellular response without increasing heat
- Improved skincare absorption, especially when paired with Maysama’s Aspalathin-enriched Green Rooibos Extract.
This means our upcoming LED hand therapy glove isn’t just another light device. It’s engineered to deliver deeper, more effective results — helping hands look smoother, firmer, and healthier while also addressing discomfort.
Benefits of Red Light Therapy for Hands
1. Visible Anti-Ageing Results
Collagen production naturally declines with age, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. Red light stimulates fibroblasts to increase collagen synthesis, softening fine lines and restoring volume. Many users notice hands that look plumper and more youthful after consistent use.
2. Reduction in Pigmentation
Sun exposure leaves behind dark spots and uneven tone on the hands. Research indicates that red and near-infrared light can help reduce hyperpigmentation and even skin tone.
3. Improved Joint Comfort
For those living with arthritis or repetitive strain injuries, red light hand therapy offers welcome relief. Its anti-inflammatory effects reduce stiffness and discomfort, making daily activities easier.
4. Enhanced Circulation
Better blood flow means improved nutrient delivery and faster healing. Cold, tired hands benefit from the warming, restorative effect of increased circulation triggered by red light.
5. Support for Dry, Irritated Skin
Frequent handwashing, harsh soaps, and seasonal changes all strip moisture. Red light therapy supports barrier function, reduces irritation, and complements the use of nourishing hand creams.
The Red Light Therapy Hand Glove: How It Works
Maysama’s upcoming red light therapy hand glove has been designed for ease of use at home. Simply slip your hand inside the flexible, silicone-based glove and let the array of LEDs do the work.
Key features include:
- Targeted design: LEDs cover the entire hand, ensuring both skin and joints benefit.
- Pulsed LED technology: Superior penetration and cellular response compared with continuous light.
- Comfortable fit: Flexible material adapts to different hand sizes.
- Easy routine: Sessions typically last 10–20 minutes, several times a week.
Pairing your session with Maysama’s skincare formulations, particularly those enriched with Green Rooibos Extract, can further enhance results, as red light improves ingredient absorption.
Who Can Use Red Light Therapy for Hands?
One of the biggest advantages of this technology is its safety. Red light therapy is non-invasive, pain-free, and suitable for most people. It can be used by:
- Adults concerned about signs of hand ageing
- People with arthritis, stiffness, or joint discomfort
- Individuals with pigmentation or uneven tone
- Those seeking preventative care for long-term skin health
As with all treatments, consistency is key. The best results come from incorporating the therapy into your regular routine, much like applying moisturiser or sunscreen.
How to Incorporate Hand Therapy into Your Routine
If you’re already familiar with Maysama’s LED Light Therapy Mask or Chin2Chest Device, you’ll know how simple at-home sessions can be. Adding the hand glove fits seamlessly into your existing routine:
- Cleanse: Wash your hands and remove any lotions or sunscreen.
- Optional skincare: Apply a serum, ideally one that works synergistically with light (such as antioxidant-rich Green Rooibos).
- Treatment: Slip your hand into the glove and start the session.
- Moisturise: After treatment, apply a nourishing hand cream to lock in hydration.
Sessions are quick and comfortable, making them easy to fit in while watching TV, reading, or winding down in the evening.
How Long Until You See Results?
Many users notice improved hydration and circulation within the first few weeks. Visible anti-ageing benefits, such as smoother skin and reduced pigmentation, often become noticeable after 6–8 weeks of consistent use.
For joint comfort, some people report relief after just a few sessions, though longer-term improvement comes with regular use.
Red Light Therapy Hand Glove vs Other Treatments
Traditional hand care typically relies on creams, exfoliation, or even cosmetic procedures such as fillers and laser treatments. While these can be effective, they often address only one aspect of ageing or discomfort.
The advantage of red light hand therapy is that it works on a cellular level, supporting the skin and joints from within. Unlike invasive treatments, there’s no downtime, no pain, and no risk of side effects.
