Most of us pay close attention to caring for our faces, investing in serums, creams, and even advanced treatments to keep wrinkles at bay. Yet the chest area, also known as the décolletage, often goes overlooked.
The skin between the chin and cleavage is delicate, thin, and prone to damage. Over time, lines and wrinkles appear, sometimes even earlier than on the face.
The causes are varied. Years of sun exposure, side sleeping habits, and natural age-related collagen decline all contribute to visible chest creases.
Once formed, these wrinkles are difficult to treat with skincare alone, since topical products do not always penetrate deeply enough to stimulate true rejuvenation.
This is where red light therapy for chest wrinkles is changing the game. Using wavelengths of red and near-infrared light, the treatment helps to restore collagen, improve elasticity, and smooth the skin from within. It is non-invasive, painless, and safe for regular use.
Maysama’s Chin2Chest LED Light Therapy Device was specifically designed for the neck and chest area, making it one of the most effective ways to combat wrinkles in this delicate region.
In this article, we will explore how red light therapy works for chest wrinkles, what science says about its effectiveness, and why the Chin2Chest is the ideal choice for long-term results.
Why Do Chest Wrinkles Develop?
Unlike the face, the chest is not always protected by sunscreen or daily skincare. The skin is thinner, contains fewer oil glands, and is regularly exposed to environmental stressors. This combination makes the area highly vulnerable to premature ageing.
Common causes of chest wrinkles include:
- Sun exposure: UV rays damage collagen and elastin fibres, which weaken skin structure and lead to lines and pigmentation.
- Side sleeping: Pressure on the chest compresses skin, creating vertical creases that deepen over time.
- Collagen decline with age: By the mid-twenties, collagen production naturally decreases, and the skin loses firmness.
-
Environmental factors: Smoking, pollution, dehydration, and repeated movement accelerate damage.
Unlike fine lines on the face, chest wrinkles can appear suddenly and progress quickly. They often show as vertical creases across the cleavage or horizontal lines across the upper chest.
Because of the thinness of the skin, once these wrinkles appear, they are difficult to treat without stimulating collagen production at a cellular level.
How Red Light Therapy Helps Chest Wrinkles
Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of red (around 630 to 700 nm) and near-infrared light (around 800 to 850 nm) to stimulate natural cellular repair. The light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by mitochondria, the energy producers of our cells.
Once activated, mitochondria generate more ATP, which the fuel cells need to function. With more energy, the skin can repair itself more effectively. The benefits include:
- Collagen and elastin stimulation: Fibroblasts are activated to produce more collagen and elastin, which strengthen skin structure and reduce wrinkles.
- Improved circulation: Blood flow increases, delivering oxygen and nutrients that support healing and rejuvenation.
- Better hydration and barrier function: Skin becomes plumper and healthier, which reduces the appearance of fine lines.
- Reduced pigmentation and redness: Light therapy helps regulate melanocyte activity, even skin tone, and reduces sun damage.
Several external studies confirm these results. A 2013 study concluded that red light therapy is effective for improving skin complexion, restoring skin health, and enhancing elasticity.
Another study found measurable increases in collagen density after weeks of consistent treatment.
Why Target the Chest and Décolletage?
The chest is one of the most neglected areas in most skincare routines. While we carefully apply serums and sunscreen to our face, the neck and chest are often left unprotected. This leads to an uneven ageing process, where the face may look youthful while the chest reveals sun damage and creasing.
Addressing the chest with red light therapy ensures that your entire appearance remains consistent and youthful. By stimulating repair beneath the skin surface, light therapy provides results that topical creams alone cannot achieve.

The Chin2Chest LED Device: Designed for the Neck and Chest
The Maysama Chin2Chest LED Light Therapy Device was specifically developed to address ageing in the neck and chest area. While many LED devices focus only on the face, the Chin2Chest ensures targeted care for the often-overlooked décolletage.
Key features include:
- Pulsed LED technology that delivers superior penetration and stronger cellular response than continuous light.
- Ergonomic design that sits comfortably across the chin, neck, and chest for even coverage.
- Hands-free operation that allows you to relax while treating your skin.
-
Clinically optimised wavelengths proven to stimulate collagen and reduce wrinkles.
Unlike handheld devices or panels, the Chin2Chest device contours to your skin, ensuring the light reaches every part of the chest. This makes it both practical and effective for consistent at-home treatments.
There is often confusion about whether red light therapy can affect facial fat, but research and experience show otherwise, as explained in red light therapy and facial fat loss.
Benefits of Red Light Therapy for Chest Wrinkles
1. Smooths Fine Lines and Creases
Regular use of red light therapy stimulates fibroblasts, increasing collagen levels and smoothing vertical and horizontal wrinkles across the chest.
2. Improves Skin Firmness and Elasticity
Elastin production is boosted, which restores resilience to delicate chest skin and reduces sagging.
3. Reduces Pigmentation and Sun Damage
Sun spots and uneven skin tone fade as red light therapy regulates melanocyte activity and accelerates healing.
4. Enhances Hydration and Plumpness
Better circulation and improved barrier function help skin retain moisture, giving a fuller and healthier appearance.
5. Complements Skincare Products
Pairing the Chin2Chest with Maysama’s skincare collection, enriched with Green Rooibos Extract, allows deeper penetration of antioxidants. Red light therapy increases absorption, amplifying the protective and reparative effects of skincare.
How to Use Red Light Therapy for Chest Wrinkles
Using the Chin2Chest is straightforward:
- Cleanse the area to remove sunscreen, lotions, or oils.
- Position the device across your chin, neck, and chest so that it sits comfortably.
- Turn on the session and allow the light to work for 10 to 20 minutes.
- Relax as the treatment is hands-free and effortless.
- Repeat regularly, ideally four to five times per week, for best results.
At-home routines often pair well with targeted care for the double chin, which can help refine the jawline over time.
Safety and Side Effects
One of the most appealing aspects of red light therapy is its safety. Unlike laser treatments or chemical peels, it is non-invasive and has no downtime. Side effects are rare, with the most common being a mild sensation of warmth or temporary redness that subsides quickly.
This makes red light therapy ideal for long-term use and suitable for a wide range of skin types, including sensitive skin.
