LED light therapy mask
How does light therapy work? We’ve been going to salons for years to have technicians place different LED lights over our faces but have we stopped to realise exactly what’s happening? So, first up, LED lights contain NO UV rays, so there’s no need to panic on that front. The lights work at a dermal layer, penetrating centimetres into the skin to reach the structure of the skin cell. The different colours of LED light work differently in their communication to the skin cell structure, each giving a different outcome. The main outcomes are clearing up acne, boosting collagen production and helping to create a firmer, more even skin -tone. All from the comfort of your home, of course!
LED skin care myths…
So, now you’ve read about the LED masks and their benefits. But how about we debunk some of those LED skin care myths before you hit purchase, so you can go into any purchase decision knowing you’ve got all the info on your side…
Myth: ‘It’s so time consuming, I could never fit it in my day..’
Fact: It takes 10 minutes out of your day. Sure, it might be 10 minutes a couple of times a week depending on the mask, but we’re pretty certain you can find a 10-minute time frame to fit a quick mask sesh in. Most are completely hands-free so as long as you’re near a plug, the world is your oyster!
Myth: ‘The device is going to get so hot it could burn me!’
Fact: Each of these devices has been created with medical technology, so you’re certainly not at risk of being burnt. But, don’t be alarmed if the device does start to feel warm. That’s a totally normal part of the process.
Myth: ‘It’s not safe to use, because it’s too close to my eyes’
Fact: We’ve all seen Jennifer Coolidge’s A Cinderella Story eye goggle scene (probably too many times to count), and have been scarred by the thought of LED lights near our eyes. But, take comfort: these masks have been developed to ensure the area around/the eye itself is left completely alone.

Have you had a LED treatment? Would you buy one for at home use?
I love my Omnilux mask, I got it almost 18 months ago and I’m still using it a few times a week. It’s become part of a quite relaxing routine for me, I’m putting it on while I listen to music and chill out for a bit.
That sounds so good. Enjoy your relaxing.
That is a great routine
Sounds awesome -What benefits show on your skin.
I always get told that I look younger than i am, I have a bit of a glow to my skin. My fine lines have remained fine and haven’t developed into deep wrinkles. I’m sure if this is all attributable to the mask or other healthy habits, but I enjoy using it.
How long until you saw some results? it calms the skin?
The LED eye mask I have only needs 3 minutes a day, I try to use it every day.
Never tried it, not sure why I should invest in one.
I love my Omnilux masks but the best results were actually when I first started using it.
I also noticed the best results when I first started using my Omnilux mask. Love how easy and quick it is to use.
I’ve never tried one. They sound intriguing!
I would love to get one but they are very expensive
They are very expensive, I dont think I could justify spending all the money at the moment.
After thinking about it for years I finally caved and bought the Omnilux during the Black Friday sales! I’m so excited to try it!
I so want one of these !!
I must start mine, i have one but but never used as i had to have surgery to remove 2 large skin cancers and have scars
The Omnilux and Current body masks seem to be the most highly recommended. This article from Goals to get Glowing is great for those interested in in-depth explanation about LED therapy and comparison between the popular devices (including different ones from Omnilux)

Two of my daughters have these. I really should put one on my birthday list.
I’d love to purchase one. Unfortunately I’m medically retired due to an injury & am unable to justify the cost.
I definitely want to try before I buy.
My best friend raves about her LED mask.
I just received an article in my inbox about LED light masks. What timing. A Dermatologist commented that if you suffer from seizures it’s best not to use one. Well there goes my opportunity to try one even though my seizures are under control.
Not something that I’ve ever thought about. I’d like to try first. It’s not a priority at the moment.
I’d love to try the “men” version of the Omnilux mask!
Me too.
I have a small wand which is great but would love a full mask
They sound great but as I don’t have any major skin concerns I can’t justify the price tag!
I got an Omnilux during black friday sales last year and have used it every day since. To be honest I haven’t seen much, if any difference. But I just feel it has to be more beneficial than just skincare
New Wishlist item
I love the Omnilux LED I find the soft bendable mask more comfortable than the hard plastic version I used to have from a lower-priced brand.
Would be interesting to test high-end vs drugstore seeing as all these are $500+ I know there are cheaper ones or even pens you can get for LED light therapy.
I’ve found mine worth the investment if used regularly, they are pretty easy to use while multitasking!
Looks amazing for the price
So good to know, getting my first LED facial next month and so excited!
Would love to try one of these led masks
I enjoy using my Omnilux curve mask and being using it for the past year.
My skin feels firm and I feel it has defined my jaw line.
I wish there were more brands that make these
I really want to get once soon, I use to get LED Facials done and I loved every bit of it, but it was too expensive to do fortnightly so I better get my own at home sorted
I love mine it’s so perfect.
I wonder if they all are a good investment or just a waste of money. Had anyone tried any of these LED masks?
Yes is it just another fad ?
Are the cheaper masks worth it ?
