You may have already seen Victoria Beckham, Chrissy Teigan or even Madonna posting on Instagram over the past months the LED Face Masks. Even thought it looks kinda scary, the rust of the light therapy become mainstream. But have you ever heard about light therapy? If it sounds pretty new for you, let us explain. Light therapy is a treatment that has been around for over 30 years and it’s based on exposing skin to blue, red and near-infrared LED light, where each of those has different benefits to your skin.  

When used on the regular basis, LED light therapy can really help to improve the general appearance of your skin and can be used to reduce breakouts, pigmentation and the side-effects of inflammation. On the top of that, the LED light treatments are not only good for your skin, but can also really help your mental health by reducing stress levels and lifting your spirits, as the process is pretty relaxing. However, to see the proper and long-lasting effects, the treatments should done regularly and if you can’t afford regular treatments at your salon (or it may be impossible due to different reasons), at-home light therapy could be just for you!

Common questions about Led face masks:

Are Led face Masks safe? Yes. Most experts agree that LED face masks are safe, since they’re non-invasive and don’t emit UV light, as long as you follow the instructions, use them for the recommended amounts of time only and protect your eyes. The LED used in at-home devices is much weaker than what it would be in-salon, to ensure your safety, never buy an LED face mask that hasn’t been FDA improved.

Can I use Led Mask everyday? Every LED face mask has a different recommended usage, but most should be used no more than three times per week for twenty minutes – or five times per week for 10 minutes.

What should I put on my face before Led light Therapy? Before using your LED face mask, wash your face with your favourite gentle cleanser. Afterwards, apply your serum and moisturiser.

What colour Led do I need?

Blue light: this is the bacteria-fighting LED light. It triggers photochemical oxidation in order to kill bacteria living on the skin. This makes blue light an excellent choice for those with acne, eczema or rosacea.

Red light: stimulates our fibroblasts for cell renewal and ATP regeneration.

Near-Infrared: has no colour but it can be used to reduce inflammation and redness in the skin. It also speeds up wound healing and reduces pigmentation.

Amber: Amber LED light is the least common in at-home devices, but works to revitalise the skin, reduce swelling and boost your skin’s radiance.

Are Led face masks painful? The LED Face mask emits gentle LED light that is painless, non-invasive, and requires no down time.
