A Big Move for Skincare Tech: iSMART and L’Oréal

We are thrilled to announce that iSMART Developments is officially partnering with L’Oréal Groupe. This is a massive milestone for us, marking a new chapter for LED phototherapy and the future of clinically backed skincare.

For over two decades, iSMART has been dedicated to one thing: engineering precise, high-standard light-therapy systems. By joining forces with L’Oréal, we are combining our technical expertise with their world-class scientific research and global reach.

Why This Partnership Matters

    • Shared Vision: Both companies are built on a foundation of precision and long-term research.
    • Innovation: This collaboration allows us to push the boundaries of what light-based technology can do for skin health.
    • Proven Expertise: We are bringing twenty years of engineering experience to L’Oréal’s legendary innovation engine.


This isn’t just about a new contract; it’s a collaboration grounded in a mutual commitment to excellence and scientific integrity. We look forward to seeing what we can achieve together.

A New Generation of LED Wearable Devices

In partnership with L’Oréal Groupe, we have developed a next-generation LED platform that includes two flagship devices:

  • An ultra-thin LED Face Mask
  • A flexible LED Eye Mask specifically for the delicate area around the eyes

Design That Fits You

We have moved away from the old, rigid plastic masks of the past. These new devices are made from soft, flexible silicone that contours perfectly to your face. By staying close to your skin, the masks ensure that every bit of light energy is delivered exactly where it needs to go.

The Power of Two Wavelengths

The system uses two precisely tuned types of light to get the best results:

  • 630nm Red Light: This travels into the skin to boost collagen and elastin, helping your face look firmer and smoother.
  • 830nm Near-Infrared Light: This reaches deeper tissue layers to improve circulation and help reduce puffiness.


We chose these specific wavelengths based on years of research into how light interacts with the body. The result is a lightweight, portable, and professional-grade treatment that fits seamlessly into your daily skincare routine.

Engineering Meets Global Scale

At iSMART, we develop our devices under ISO 13485 medical quality standards. This means every product goes through rigorous design checks, thorough testing, and a fully traceable manufacturing process from day one. We do not just build gadgets; we engineer regulated technology.

By partnering with L’Oréal, we are taking that professional foundation and bringing it to a global scale.

A Milestone for Science-Led Skincare

Sue D’Arcy, CEO and Founder of iSMART Developments, shared:

“This partnership with L’Oréal Groupe is a meaningful validation of iSMART’s technology, our team, and our long-term vision. We have built deep expertise in LED phototherapy, regulatory excellence, and scalable innovation. Collaborating with a global leader like L’Oréal Groupe enables us to extend that impact internationally. It represents progress not only for iSMART, but for the continued evolution of science-led, professional-grade skin technologies.”

Looking Ahead

We are excited to showcase our collaboration at CES 2026. This event highlights how LED-powered skin technology is becoming a fundamental part of the modern beauty, wellness, and aesthetics world.

The industry is moving past simple trends and unproven claims. Today, the focus is on what actually works: calibrated light wavelengths, performance that is backed by data, and strict regulatory standards.

That is exactly where iSMART fits in. We don’t just follow the latest craze; we build the disciplined, high-performance technology that defines the future of skincare.
