Dry, Red, Itchy Patches Since Perimenopause? Here’s How LED Therapy Can Help
Written by an independant, certified dermatologist
If your skin suddenly feels tight, reactive, or constantly irritated - you’re not alone.
Many women experience a surge in dry, red, or itchy patches as they move through perimenopause and menopause. And while it can feel frustrating (especially when your old skincare stops working), the good news is: there are gentle, science-backed ways to restore comfort and balance to your skin.
One of the most effective? LED light therapy.
Why does skin become drier and more reactive during menopause?
As oestrogen levels decline, your skin starts to produce less collagen, elastin, and natural oils. This hormonal shift causes the skin barrier to weaken - leading to:
- Dryness and flaking
- Increased redness or flushing
- Itchy or inflamed patches
- Exacerbated conditions like rosacea or eczema
Your skin may also become more sensitive to products or weather changes, making your usual routine suddenly feel too harsh.
Why traditional creams aren’t always enough
Moisturisers help temporarily lock in hydration, but they don’t repair what’s happening deeper within the skin. What’s really needed is cellular-level regeneration - a way to gently boost healing and strengthen your skin’s structure from within.
That’s where LED light therapy comes in.
How LED therapy soothes menopausal dryness, redness & irritation
The DermaGlow V2 Mask uses 168 medical-grade LEDs and 7+ clinically supported wavelengths - including some that are especially effective for reactive, itchy, or inflamed skin.
Here’s how the different settings help:
💛 Yellow Light (590nm) – Soothing + anti-inflammatory
Our founder’s favourite setting for a reason! Yellow light calms overactive nerves in the skin and reduces itching, redness and sensitivity. It’s brilliant for those “irritated but not sure why” moments that often come with hormonal shifts.
💚 Green Light (525nm) – Redness & rosacea support
Green targets the blood vessels that cause diffuse redness or flushing, especially across the cheeks and nose. Ideal for menopausal skin that’s become prone to rosacea or “hot” patches.
🤍 White Light (600nm) – Barrier strengthening + eczema support
This deeper-penetrating light promotes cell renewal and improves skin texture over time. It’s especially helpful for eczema-prone skin, or dry, rough patches that never quite go away.
❤️ Near-Infrared & Deep Near-Infrared (840nm & 1072nm) – Cellular healing
These wavelengths travel deep below the surface to stimulate repair, calm inflammation, and support collagen and elastin production - critical for healing flaky, delicate or sensitised areas.
A non-invasive solution you can use at home
The DermaGlow V2 is non-invasive, pain-free, and gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin. You only need 5 minutes a day, and you can target specific patches by switching between light settings as needed.
Whether you're dealing with:
- Red, blotchy flare-ups
- Itchy skin around the jaw or cheeks
- Tightness and dryness after cleansing
…LED therapy gives you an easy, calming tool to support your skin’s natural resilience - without harsh actives or trial-and-error routines.
Final thoughts
If perimenopause has made your skin feel unpredictable, sore, or like it’s “not yours anymore,” you’re not imagining it. But with the right support, your skin can feel like you again - softer, stronger, and visibly calmer.
LED therapy doesn’t just treat what you see on the surface - it helps your skin heal itself from within.
