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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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
