Not all light hairdryers use light the same way
Some use infrared to help dry water. Some use infrared as a distance sensor. Lucine uses 660 nm red and 850 nm near-infrared as a separate scalp-care mode—alongside high-speed drying and InfraSonic cycling.

The simple difference
Choose Lucine if your priority is one tool that combines high-performance drying, dynamic InfraSonic cycling and a dedicated 660 nm + 850 nm scalp-care mode.
Choose another product if your priority is its attachment range, sensor behaviour, professional app control, lower-temperature drying approach, price or market voltage.
