We aim to test the LED face mask for at least one month over one full skin cycle. So the editor reviews performance across four major categories: results, safety (ensures it’s FDA-cleared), research, and science. Add value for money behind a specific claim. For example, consider features such as whether it’s wireless, whether it has an adjustable strap, whether it comes with eye protection, whether it’s comfortable, and whether it’s portable.

What is LED light therapy?
What is LED light therapy? Expose your skin to different wavelengths of light According to Dr. Radmila Lukian, red and blue light “stimulates collagen production and purifies the skin.” The light emitted by an LED face mask is absorbed by the skin, and the longer the wavelength of the light, the longer the depth of penetration.
Each different light type (usually represented by a different treatment mode on the device) stimulates a different response. This means that each color has different skin care effects. Generally speaking, LED light therapy can “improve skin texture, reduce age spots and pigmentation, and even out skin tone,” as well as help with psoriasis and other inflammatory side effects. .
