For many decades now, we’ve been trained to believe that “skin plus light equals bad”. This however is only true for certain types of light and, actually, LEDs provide certain wavelengths of red and near infrared light which can be extremely beneficial to the skin. Facelite is a brand we sell here at Pure Beauty and their products may look like something from the future but we are huge fans of the brand and the potency of their products.
What is FaceLite?
FaceLite masks use phototherapy to trigger a number of different processes within the skin. The masks are embedded with many small LED lights which create energy that is absorbed by the mitochondria of your cells and continues to work even once the mask has been removed.
How does it work?
As we mentioned above, the wavelengths of the LED lights penetrate the skin and are absorbed into the cells. This can enhance the production of adenosine triphosphate which enhances cellular metabolism. It can also increase collagen and elastin synthesis, as well as cell proliferation and enhancing cellular balance within the cell. In layman’s terms, FaceLite encourages your skin to do all of the things that it needs to do in order to remain healthy and youthful.
What results can I expect?
If you’ve been coming to the Pure Beauty site for some time, you’ll know we only partner with brands in whom we truly believe. While some people may look at these masks and feel sceptical about the results, the FaceLite technology has been clinically tested, peer reviewed and found to be effective.
After three treatments per week for four weeks, 98% of users agreed that their skin felt firmer, while 96% agreed their fine lines appeared less visible and 95% agreed that their skin was brighter and plumper. Those are some pretty definitive results, if you ask us!
Is there anything else I need to know?
Some forms of phototherapy are contraindicated if you have pigmentation issues, however face light products help to reduce age spots pigmentation and lighten the overall appearance of hyper pigmented skin.
Is it just for my face?
No! There are actually several different face light products for different areas of your body.
DecoLITE LED Decolletage and Neck Mask
This mask is designed to treat the neck and decolletage, which can be some of the first areas to show the signs of ageing. It’s completely hands-free and portable and can be used alongside other products preferably containing vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin E or hyaluronic acid to increase the effects.
HandLITE LED Hand and Wrist Device
For those of you who are worried about the appearance of your hands, the hHandLITE LED Hand and Wrist Device is designed to care for hands which are often neglected and exposed to damaging products and environments. Just like the other FaceLite products the HandLite is completely portable and works on a battery so you won’t need to be tethered to a chunky power supply while using it.
