There are new advancements in the beauty market almost every day, and some are more successful than others. One piece of technology about which we’re really excited is the use of LED masks, and the benefits are numerous. Here at Pure Beauty, we stock the faceLITE brand of masks, which are available for the face, hands and decolletage, so we thought we’d give you the lowdown on some of the well- and lesser-known benefits of LEDs for your skin and health.
Stimulate Collagen
Obviously, one of the main benefits of using LED technology is its ability to stimulate collagen. LED therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses different wavelengths of light to visibly improve and rejuvenate skin, and the red wavelength penetrates the skin on a cellular level and encourages the production of collagen, the thing that becomes lacking and causes fine lines and wrinkles to appear. This means that skin will be plumper and firmer with regular LED treatment.
Kill Bacteria
One of the main contributors to the cause of acne is bacteria, which gets into the pores and causes congestion. Certain wavelengths of LED light are effective at killing bacteria and sanitising the skin, which in turn can help to prevent acne before it even forms. It can also help to halt sebum production, which means that your skin is less oily and your pores will be less prone to clogging.
Help to Reduce Migraines
While it’s not advertised as a use for the faceLITE, LED face masks have been shown anecdotally to help to reduce migraines. According to research, the converted chemical energy from the light emitting diodes in the mask promote wound healing, are anti-inflammatory and also work as a pain control. Given how random migraines can seem to sufferers, trying something like an LED mask will allow you to try to achieve relief without immediately reaching for medications.
Improve Hydration
One of the most popular features of the faceLITE and other LED devices in the range is that they work on your skin on a deeper level to improve hydration. Light stimulates blood flow and nutrient exchange; this helps to keep skin healthy and hydrated and it also helps your skincare to work more effectively.
Increase Blood Flow and Circulation
faceLITE has been proven in trials to greatly improve skin parameters such as hydration, texture and pigmentation. faceLITE improves tissue oxygenation and blood flow and therefore absorption of skin care will be greatly improved. In fact, after 3 treatments per week for 4 weeks, 95% of people confirmed that their skin looked brighter and plumper.
