What are LEDs? And what are their effects?

What are LEDs?

Infrared LEDs and red LEDs are essentially those that are most used for anti-aging prevention . This red light acts in the different layers of the skin, the epidermis and the dermis , by photobiomodulation , and has an action on the skin cells by stimulating the fibroblasts , therefore the production of collagen .

What effects are expected from this?

We observe a homogeneity of the complexion , an improvement in the quality of the skin , imperfections and spots , fine lines , skin texture , pores , as well as an improvement in skin density with a thickening of the dermis and better firmness .

At what age can you start using Beauty Tech devices?

The use of light therapy can begin from a very young age. There is no risk and, on the contrary, I advise using it as early as possible , even from 25-30 years old .

This helps to stimulate collagen capital very early and to reduce the loss of collagen that occurs naturally over time, allowing you to age more slowly and naturally .

What advice would you give for choosing the right LED mask?

Educate yourself before choosing and investing in your LED mask . It is important to choose it carefully, taking into account its power , its radiance , and the precision of the LEDs .

There should be good accuracy with little diffusion or variation . Ergonomics are also crucial: the mask should be comfortable to use , as you will be using it for at least ten minutes a day, four to five times a week .

Finally, check that it covers all areas of the face well .

What skin types is LED used for?

LED therapy can be used for different indications depending on the wavelengths .

It is effective in treating skin problems such as acne , rosacea , or post-operatively to improve healing or reduce bruising .

After sun exposure , it can reduce redness and the harmful effects of the sun . In addition, it is recommended to improve fine lines , pores , skin texture and evenness of complexion with regular use .

Are there any risks in using LEDs?

There are sometimes concerns about the potential risks of using LEDs , particularly to the eyes due to the strong light and the heat released.
