The Top LED Masks According To The Experts

The Background

“LED stands for light emitting diode. The benefits are all a result of the light, which emits therapeutic wavelengths of energy to energise the cells, stimulating the production of everything from elastin to collagen. There’s no prep required. You don’t need to do anything special before or after. It’s so easy to slot into your routine – it doesn’t matter what condition your skin is in, or what you plan to do directly after using an LED mask. Also, unlike other treatments, it doesn’t sensitise your skin to UV rays, so you can go outside afterwards.” – Hannah Measures & Laura Ferguson, founders of The Light Salon

The Benefits

“LED light therapy is used to ‘recharge’ skin cells’ ‘energy’ battery. The skin uses this energy as a fuel to repair and rejuvenate damaged cells. Your cells can’t be overcharged by light – once their batteries are at full capacity, they will store the energy and use it as required. A skin cell that’s been charged by light can perform 150-250% more efficiently.” – Hannah & Laura

The Different Colours

“As a general guide, red light will stimulate collagen, encourage healing, calm redness and even out skin tone, making it an excellent treatment for slowing the ageing process and repairing damage caused by the sun or other lifestyle factors, while also improving superficial inflammation. Blue light targets the surface of the skin to kill bacteria, so it’s great if you suffer from acne – you would use it in conjunction with red and/or near-infrared for the treating and healing of blemishes. Near-infrared (white light) is the most powerful, penetrating deep into the skin. It benefits the entire complexion, supporting the ageing process, stimulating healing and regeneration, improving blood and lymph circulation (delivering nutrients and oxygen to the area, while removing toxins), and correcting vulnerable and inflamed skin.” – Hannah & Laura

The Investment

“At-home devices aren’t as powerful as a professional machine but, with meticulous engineering, the creators of most of these masks have done everything possible to optimise the dose and absorption of light into the skin, in order to deliver comparable – and impressive – results. Our mask delivers the equivalent cumulative dose of light as one salon treatment per week over a four-week period – in other words, you still yield great results, just at a slower pace, which is what makes the price tag justifiable.” – Hannah & Laura
