LED light therapy penetrates deep into the skin layers, stimulating cellular energy synthesis of ATP. This occurs in the mitochondria of our cells, which house our energy generation. Once this process occurs, it allows the cell to regenerate and turn over faster, which is what you desire for more youthful skin.
Overall, LED light therapy can assist with skin tone, the healing process, sleep regulation, and mood enhancement.
LED face masks utilize specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular activity. Red light is used primarily for its anti-aging benefits, as it promotes collagen production. Blue light targets acne-causing bacteria, making it effective for acne treatment, while near-infrared light reduces inflammation and promotes healing.
Cleaning your LED face mask is essential for preventing skin irritation. I recommend wiping the mask with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water after each use, avoiding excessive moisture near the electronic parts. Following up with a disinfectant wipe ensures residual bacteria are eradicated. Always let the mask dry completely before storage.
