Innovation took center stage as Dr. Jason Wersland, the mind behind the theragun and Theraface Mask, was honored with the Inventors Award.
Back where it all began, former Fitness Honoree Sam Asghari proudly presented the award at the 7th Daytime Beauty Awards.
This year, the Daytime Beauty Awards gave back by benefiting the LAPD Mounted Platoon horses, strengthening their vital programs and initiatives.
After a life-altering motorcycle accident, Dr. Jason Wersland sought relief from chronic pain when traditional medicine fell short. Out of necessity, he invented the first Theragun—sparking a global wellness revolution.
Therabody grew from that breakthrough, driven by a mission to bring science-backed, accessible treatments to every part of the body. In 2022, they entered the beauty space with TheraFace PRO.
A year later, they raised the bar again with the innovative TheraFace Mask—a hands-free, wearable LED device that uses red, blue, and infrared light to boost collagen, calm inflammation, and kickstart skin repair. Clinically tested to improve skin tone, firmness, and texture, it’s changing the way we think about daily skincare.
Its design marks a shift toward professional-grade light therapy that’s accessible and easy to use, helping people bring evidence-based skin treatments into their self-care routine. Backed by more than 75,000 scientific articles supporting the efficacy of its products, Therabody continues to lead with rigorous research.
With over 30 devices across wellness and beauty, and more than 25 completed clinical studies, Dr. Jason remains deeply involved in the research that powers each creation.
His inventions and vision—to help people look, feel, and live better—has redefined the intersection of beauty, wellness, and technology.
Celebrities came together to honor this year’s achievers. Emmy winning actor Robert Ri’chard presented to his friends and Outstanding Achievement in Fitness honorees Meagan Good and Jonathan Majors. First time Nail Artistry honoree Yoko Sakakura celebrated manicurist Tom Bachik. Dr. Carl Truesdale was in shock and awe when his patient, scientist and acid-attack victim Juanita Jimenez flew in from New York to present him with Outstanding Achievement in Medicine.
