What is LED Light Therapy, and how does it work?

There are many articles and papers that talk about this treatment under names such as phototherapy, LED light therapy or low-level light therapy, and the treatment has been huge in the beauty industry and on social media. But what is LED light therapy, and how does it work?

Although the LED Mask looks like a futuristic villain prop mask from a Sci-Fi movie, the technology itself has been around for decades. LEDs, or Light Emitting Diodes have been used by NASA since the 80’s in plant growth experiments in space, and as a wound healing device (read more from NASA here).

As a result, various studies have backed-up the effectiveness of LEDs in wound healing, acne treatment, sunburn prevention, sin rejuvenation and more (read one of the many studies here). Beauty industry leaders have now picked up this technology to utilise LEDs to create masks that provide a safe, pain-free way to achieve naturally vibrant and clear skin.

Let us give you a run down of how it works.

The mask uses low-level light therapy (LLLT) by way of medical grade LEDs to expose the skin to clinically-proven wavelengths of light, delivered at therapeutic doses. As a result, the LED mask stimulates the natural cellular responses, resulting in skin-rejuvenation and the improvement of common problematic skin conditions.

For example, the mask can treat skin concerns such as:

Anti-Ageing
Anti-Acne/Breakouts
Detoxifying
Pigmentation
Post Procedure
Rosacea
Congested Acne
Inflammatory Acne

Treatments involve wearing the mask on the face under one of the mask’s light modes:

different LED mask modes

RED – Anti-Ageing

Increases collagen production, restores cell function and provides essential energy for cellular renewal.

BLUE – Purifying/Acne Treatment

Destroys acne bacteria, minimises redness and therefore reduces skin irritation.

YELLOW – Detoxifying

Eliminates toxins, improves decongestion and stimulates lymphocyte production.

GREEN – Pigmentation

Regulates melanin production, reduces pigmentation and reduces redness.

PINK – Recovery

Destroys bacteria, minimises redness and irritation, reduces pigmentation and stimulates cellular reproduction and repair.

NEAR INFRARED – Rosacea

Penetrates to the deepest level to improve wound healing and stimulates cell production and repair.

To summarise, we give you protective eye-wear (who wants bright light in their eyes when they’re trying to relax?), pop the LED mask on your face, and all you need to do is lie back, relax and let the LED lights work their magic!

How we can help

We are excited to be the first in Perthshire to provide LED light therapy, or Light Emitting Diode Therapy, using the Déesse Pro LED mask.

Although there are many versions available, including home treatment masks, the Déesse Pro LED mask is world-renowned and used by celebrities including Kim & Kourtney Kardashian, Katy Perry and Madonna, and is also used by celebrity facialists. It is for this reason that we felt it would be the best technology to bring to our clients.

The mask can be used to complement a facial or as a standalone treatment. We will tailor each mode to your specific skincare needs, and we can advise which light mode is best for you.
