LED Face Masks: A Breakthrough in the Treatment of Skin Problems
LED facial masks have become increasingly popular in recent years as a non-invasive method of skin care. These masks use different colors of LED light to target various skin conditions. In this blog, we will discuss how LED light therapy works, what skin conditions it can treat, and look at the findings of recent scientific studies.
How Do LED Face Masks Work?
LED (Light Emitting Diode) face masks use different colors of light to treat the skin. Each color has a specific wavelength that penetrates to a certain depth of the skin, causing different biological reactions. The most commonly used colors are red, blue, and orange light:
Red Light (630 nm):
This penetrates deep into the skin and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which helps reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
Blue Light (415 nm):
This penetrates less deeply and is effective in killing acne-causing bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes), which helps reduce acne.
Orange Light (605 nm):
This helps improve the overall tone and texture of the skin by stimulating cell renewal and improving blood circulation.
Infrared Light (IR - 850 nm):
This invisible light penetrates deeper than visible light and reaches the lower skin layers and even the muscles. It stimulates cell regeneration, improves blood circulation and promotes the skin's recovery process. IR light reduces inflammation and promotes oxygen supply to the skin cells, resulting in visibly healthier, firmer and younger-looking skin.
It is particularly effective for skin aging, sensitive skin types and post-procedure recovery (such as after microneedling or botox).
