Let’s face it: While it may be a blessing to age and have so many life experiences, there’s a lot of not-so-fun parts that come with it. Menopausal skin changes hit differently. I’m talking about fine lines, wrinkles, sunspots, dryness, and loss of elasticity.

Thankfully, we live in a time where there are tons of options to help combat the signs of aging. The problem? Most of them don’t work—or at least not as well as they should.

After testing just about every skincare treatment, I finally found the one combination that actually delivers real results for menopausal skin: light therapy + LightBoost skincare.

Solawave has mastered light therapy with its range of devices, but the real game-changer is LightBoost. It’s designed to enhance and extend the benefits of light therapy, ensuring that every session delivers visible, lasting improvements.

Here’s why LightBoost + light therapy is the menopause-proof routine you need:

What is red light therapy?

Before we get into the why, let’s dive into what red light therapy (RLT) even is. For starters, RLT has been found to:

But here’s the thing: Red light therapy alone is not enough. To see the best results, your skin needs the right skincare to support and extend the effects of your treatments.

That’s where LightBoost comes in.

“I was using light therapy for months and saw some changes, but once I added LightBoost, my skin completely transformed. It made every session so much more effective.”

Many skincare products aren’t made to support light therapy—in fact, some can interfere with its effectiveness. That’s why I stick with LightBoost. It’s formulated to work with my treatments, making sure my skin actually absorbs all the benefits. And on days I don’t use my device, it still keeps my skin hydrated, firm, and glowing.

Why Solawave + LightBoost is the best routine for menopausal skin

Not all red light therapy devices or skincare products are created equal. Many people invest in light therapy but don’t see the full benefits because they’re missing the right skincare.

Solawave + LightBoost solves this problem.

  • LightBoost preps the skin before light therapy, ensuring deeper light penetration and better collagen stimulation.
  • It extends the benefits of light therapy, keeping skin hydrated, firm, and radiant long after your session ends.
  • Even on days you don’t use your LED device, LightBoost continues working, keeping your skin protected and healthy.
  • Solawave’s Wrinkle Retreat Light Therapy Face Mask is FDA-cleared, meaning it’s undergone rigorous testing for safety—most competitors don’t have this.
  • LightBoost formulas are dermatologist-tested, fragrance-free, and non-comedogenic, ensuring they won’t clog pores or interfere with results.
  • Solawave offers a 60-day money-back guarantee, while many competitors only offer store credit (if anything at all).

Without LightBoost, you’re only getting a fraction of the benefits of red light therapy. With it, you’re getting the full, visible transformation.

How Do I Use LightBoost + Light Therapy?

Before and after

Solawave’s devices and LightBoost skincare are designed to work together effortlessly.

And the best part? LightBoost continues working even when you skip a session.

Reverse visible signs of aging in as little as four weeks

After using Solawave’s 4-in-1 Skincare Wand ($169) and Wrinkle Retreat Light Therapy Mask ($349) with LightBoost for about a month, I’ve noticed that my skin appears less puffy, more radiant, smooth, and even. I can now skip the layers of foundation and feel confident in my own skin—even my friends have commented on how much more alive I look!

So if you’re looking for a proven, non-invasive way to support your skin through menopause, this is it.
