LED masks

Do you suffer from acne, rosacea or sagging skin and wrinkles? Shine a light on them! LED masks have brought about a revolution in modern dermatology, regenerating the skin deeply while you enjoy a well-deserved rest. All this comes at a fraction of the price of regular visits to the beauty salon! Thanks to light photons, an LED face mask (sometimes called an LED light mask) promotes wrinkle reduction, prevents wrinkles, minimises pores, and even fights acne.

The benefits of LED face and décolletage masks

• Photon light penetrates deeply beneath the skin, where it improves skin quality non-invasively and painlessly.
• It promotes skin nourishment and regeneration.
• It helps eliminate wrinkles and fights the appearance of new ones.
• It minimises pores and fights acne.
• It helps even out skin tone.
• It suppresses melanin production and reduces pigment spots.
• The different wavelengths make it easy to target your specific skin problem.
• It has intuitive controls and allows for easy application in the comfort of your home.
• With long-term use, investing in an LED mask is more worthwhile than regular visits to the beauty salon.

How does an LED mask work?

LED masks work with photon therapy, which has become a popular tool in dermatology to combat skin imperfections effectively. Originally, LED therapy was made famous by NASA, which used its beneficial effects to treat astronauts in space. Thanks to rapid advances, however, you can also indulge in photon therapy as part of your daily beauty routine.

Photon therapy works with the light colour spectrum. The individual LEDs in the mask shine on the skin during the treatment; the light penetrates deeply into your skin, where it triggers natural intracellular reactions.

The final effect depends on the wavelength of the light used, as LEDs of different wavelengths have different colours and each colour simply targets specific skin imperfections:

• The red spectrum penetrates into the skin most deeply, and there it affects skin firmness and elasticity, stimulates collagen production and tissue regeneration and helps fight acne and rosacea. It also promotes pore reduction.
• The yellow spectrum helps to reduce wrinkles and regenerate the skin, evens out pigment colour and restores softness to the skin.
• The green spectrum helps even out skin tone, works on pigment and helps eliminate pigment spots.
• The blue spectrum helps fight acne and eczema and soothes the skin.
• Violet light has regenerative effects and is good for fighting acne.
• The white light and light blue light available in certain LED masks promote skin firming and cellular energy because the colours can be combined.

Who is an LED light mask suitable for?

Light therapy is suitable for all skin types, including problem and sensitive skin. LED treatment is very safe and there are no known side effects. Light therapy does not use UV radiation, meaning there is no risk of sunburn or tanning.

The best LED mask – how to choose

• Always choose an LED mask according to the colour spectrum offered to ensure your specific skin imperfections are treated.
• The performance of the LED mask is also important.
• The material used for LED masks is skin-friendly, usually durable plastic (ABS plastic or polycarbonate) or silicone.
• Depending on the method of use, there is the classic light face mask, as well as the LED décolletage mask and the LED hand mask.

How to use an LED mask

LED masks for home use get great results and, with regular daily use, can improve the condition of your skin in just a few weeks.

• Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using an LED mask.
• Your skin must be completely clean and makeup-free before you apply a light mask. Dermatologists advise cleansing the skin with a gentle makeup remover that does not dry out your skin.
• Some light masks can be used on beauty products, such as face serums, creams and face masks to enhance their effect.
• Eyes must be closed or covered when using the mask.
• It is usually a good idea to use an LED mask every day for at least 10 to 15 minutes, or for 20 to 30 minutes at least three times a week. The effects of the light mask are cumulative.

Other beauty devices using LED light

If you want to try out light therapy first, we also recommend other technologies for topical skin treatment. These include sonic devices to accelerate the effects of facial masks or light sticks by popular brands such as Foreo. These devices use RGB LEDs to emit individual coloured lights into the skin, for example blue light to treat acne, or red light to stimulate circulation and eliminate wrinkles. At the same time, they help maximise the absorption of nutrients from the face mask or beauty serum.
