Everything You Need to Know About At-Home LED Therapy
In the ever-evolving world of skincare: one technology stands out as a game changer - LED light therapy. This much-loved beauty treatment offers a non-invasive, highly effective way to achieve youthful, glowing and radiant skin.
Once exclusive to costly facialist appointments, LED skin treatments have now extended beyond professional clinics. Today, these high-tech beauty devices have seamlessly become part of everyday grooming routines, regarded as a key component of at-home skincare rituals. Regularly using these devices from home not only delivers unmatched skincare benefits but also provides a moment to recharge, reset and rejuvenate.
Understanding LED Therapy
LED therapy, short for Light Emitting Diode therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that releases coloured light at specific wavelengths into the skin, triggering natural cellular reactions that help the skin repair and rejuvenate.
Fun fact – its origins trace back to the 1990s during NASA's space exploration efforts. NASA developed LED light therapy for plant growth on their shuttle missions and by chance, they found it could help heal astronauts’ wounds. Through observation, they learned that it boosts the production of growth factor proteins, collagen, and blood vessels. This discovery drove a revolutionary shift in the beauty industry, providing a safe, highly effective treatment for varying skin concerns.
Unlocking the Benefits of LED Therapy
Clinical studies have confirmed a wide range of skin benefits offered by LED light therapy across different wavelengths. By emitting coloured light at specific wavelengths into the skin, LED technology safely penetrates the skin to help address various skin concerns such as acne, wrinkles, redness and inflammation.
Here's a breakdown of the various light modes available today:
Red Light: Stimulates collagen essential for firm, youthful skin. Reduces inflammation, redness, and puffiness, improving skin texture and diminishing fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots.
Blue Light: Targets acne-causing bacteria and regulates oil production, reducing acne breakouts.
Near-Infrared: Promotes collagen production and skin rejuvenation by stimulating cellular activity and boosting circulation. This leads to an improvement in skin tone, texture and overall appearance.
Green Light: Calms the skin, balances tone, and improves hyperpigmentation and redness. Ideal for sensitive skin promoting a more even complexion.
Yellow Light: Alleviates inflammation, redness, and hyperpigmentation, improving sun-damaged skin and overall skin appearance.
Orange Light: Stimulates circulation and collagen production while reducing inflammation for a healthy, natural glow.
Cyan Light: Soothes with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects and reduces acne-causing bacteria by combining benefits from blue and green lights.
Purple Light: Treats acne, reduces inflammation, and assists in healing wounds after acne and cold sore breakouts. It is also great for post-non-surgical cosmetic procedures (micro-needling, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, laser, and cosmetic injectables)

Choosing the Perfect LED Device
Navigating the world of at-home LED products can be overwhelming without proper guidance. To start off on the right foot, make sure to do your homework.
Selecting a high-quality LED mask is crucial! Remember, not all devices are created equal, so it's important to choose one that is specifically designed to address your unique skin concerns to deliver effective results.
When hunting for your perfect LED partner, it’s important to consider several key factors to ensure both effectiveness and safety. Start by choosing a mask made from medical-grade silicone. This material is durable and flexible, which helps to reduce the risk of skin irritation and provides a snug, comfortable fit.
Safety first! Ensure the mask is free from harmful chemicals and does not emit damaging UV light. Verifying that the device has undergone photobiological testing confirms the light emitted is safe for your eyes and will not cause discomfort or harm during use.
Finally, choose a mask that’s FDA-cleared and ARTG-listed as a Class IIa medical device. These certifications indicate that the mask has undergone rigorous safety and efficacy evaluations, meeting high standards set by regulatory authorities.
