The company's debut technology, the illuMask, is revolutionizing the skincare industry by bringing light therapy, or phototherapy, to the home market. Previously only available in dermatology offices and costing upwards of $250 for a 15-minute treatment, phototherapy is the process of using colored light to improve skin. The illuMask is available in two varieties; the first uses a combination of red and infrared LED lights to combat signs of aging, and the second uses red and blue lights to fight acne. La Lumiere CEO Jay Tapper is a serial entrepreneur and inventor of the Spinbrush (the world's first battery-powered toothbrush,) Spin Pop (the world's first interactive candy,) and Stretch Armstrong (the iconic children's toy.) Available for just $30, the illuMask offers 30 treatments of 15 minutes.
