At-home beauty devices are gaining popularity. Thanks to specialized brands like Nooãnce Paris, the best LED facial masks are now easier to use and accessible to all skin types. Light therapy promises beneficial effects on many skin problems: signs of aging, acne, and even pigmentation spots. Regular treatment with an LED mask is the solution to making the epidermis more resistant to external aggressions and achieving perfect skin. So what results can we expect from an LED facial mask? Discover what dermatologists have to say.
How does light therapy skin treatment work?
The discovery of the beneficial effects of light therapy on many aspects is not recent. The use of light in the field of health began in the 19th century.
Discovery of the beneficial effects of light therapy
Natural light has been used for many years in the treatment of dermatological, pediatric, and ophthalmological problems. However, it was NASA research in the 1980s that revolutionized the use of LEDs for skin repair . The American space agency originally developed this technology to promote skin repair for astronauts sent into space.
The use of light therapy in skin care
Little by little, scientific studies on the effects of LED masks on the skin are multiplying. Researchers note that LEDs do not only repair the epidermis. Depending on their colors, they have an effect on multiple skin processes . They thus demonstrate their effectiveness in reducing the signs of aging and treating certain skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis or even rosacea, without side effects. Thus, LED light therapy is beginning to be used in aesthetic skin treatment.
The colors of the visible spectrum in photobiomodulation (red, infrared, blue)
The visible light spectrum used in aesthetics comprises seven colors. Each color has specific wavelengths and benefits . Let's decipher the benefits of the three wavelengths: blue light (415 nm), red light (633 nm), and near infrared (830 nm). These light wavelengths are the only ones to have achieved unanimous scientific consensus for their specific benefits on the health and beauty of the skin.
Red light at 633 nm helps fight premature skin aging
Red light, specifically at a wavelength of 633 nm, is widely studied for its beneficial effects on all skin types. It penetrates deep into the skin's layers and is particularly effective at treating visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles and spots. This wavelength also promotes the production of collagen and elastin, helping to improve skin elasticity and firmness.
830nm infrared LEDs stimulate collagen production and healing
Infrared light, at a wavelength of 830 nm, acts deeply on skin repair processes. In synergy with red light, it reinforces the latter's effect by stimulating cell renewal and collagen production. Infrared light at 830 nm works by stimulating cell regeneration, improving blood circulation and providing better tissue oxygenation.
Is blue LED light, close to UV, safe for the skin?
Blue light, at a wavelength of 415 nm, acts on the skin's surface: it is particularly effective at fighting bacteria responsible for acne. It generates free radicals that help reduce skin imperfections associated with this condition.
Although the benefits of the 415nm blue spectrum are recognized for fighting acne, some brands prefer not to use this light spectrum. The proximity of its light waves to UV rays could, under certain circumstances, have harmful effects on the skin.
The benefits of LED face masks: dermatologists' opinions
As we've seen, the different colors of the light spectrum have specific effects on all skin types. Let's take a closer look at the benefits of each color and the opinions of skin experts on the subject.
The effects of red light on the skin
Red light penetrates deep into the skin and acts on various skin processes. It has demonstrated its effectiveness in combating premature aging , reducing wrinkles, acne, redness and improving the overall appearance of all skin types.
Signs of aging
Red light has been widely studied for its beneficial effects on the skin. Dermatologists commonly recommend 633 nm red LED light for its anti-aging and restorative properties . This wavelength is ideal for achieving maximum benefits. Scientific studies support these observations. A study published in the Journal Seminars in Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery found that red LED light can accelerate cell renewal.
Healing
This scientific study also demonstrates the effectiveness of light therapy on wound healing and skin appearance. Red light at a wavelength of 633 nm aids in skin repair.
Collagen production
Light is the most effective color spectrum for improving skin firmness. It stimulates the activity of fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen production, which helps reduce the visible signs of skin aging, improve the appearance of wrinkles, and firm the skin.
The benefits of red light for the skin: what do dermatologists think?
According to renowned dermatologist Sandra Lee, "Red LED light is the most universally beneficial. It penetrates deeper into the skin than other colors. Red LEDs stimulate fibroblasts to produce collagen. This can improve skin elasticity and firmness . Red light also reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and speeds wound healing."
The Benefits of Infrared LED Light Devices
Infrared light is usually combined with red LEDs to multiply their effects on all skin types.
Reduction of inflammation
Near-infrared light is another wavelength favored in dermatology. Invisible to the naked eye, it penetrates even deeper into the skin than red light. Near-infrared light specifically affects healing and reduces skin inflammation .
Treatment of skin problems
A beauty device with an 830nm wavelength is particularly effective on all skin types, even sensitive skin. Research in the Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology shows that near-infrared light can reduce inflammation, stimulate collagen production, and treat skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema.
Infrared LED face mask: dermatologists' opinion
According to New York City dermatologist Patricia Wexler, "Near-infrared light is exceptional for its ability to penetrate deep into skin tissue. It stimulates cell regeneration. Near-infrared light can thus help relieve inflammation, reduce blemishes, and improve blood circulation. It can contribute to healthier, brighter skin ."
How to enjoy the effects of LED facial mask at home?
To benefit from the effects of light therapy, treat yourself to one of the best LED facial masks. Today, high-quality , affordable home devices are available on the beauty market.
When choosing an LED mask, it is essential to consider both the technology used and the characteristics of the mask itself to ensure effectiveness, comfort and durability.
Technology: The Heart of LED Masks' Effectiveness
To ensure the effectiveness of an LED mask, it is essential to check several criteria.
Scientifically recognized wavelengths
The wavelengths of 633 nm (red light) and 830 nm (near infrared) are the only ones unanimously accepted within the scientific community for their benefits on the skin, in particular for stimulating the production of collagen and promoting cell regeneration.
The precision of LEDs
It is also important to choose a mask with LED precision of +/- 2 nm to ensure maximum efficiency, thus ensuring optimal penetration without risk to skin tissue.
Irradiance
Irradiance, which measures the amount of light reaching the skin, should be between 30 and 50 mW/cm² for maximum effectiveness without damaging the skin.
Number and distribution of LEDs
The number of LEDs and their distribution play a key role: a mask with a large number of LEDs well distributed over a generous surface area ensures uniform coverage and limits the loss of light energy.
The Mask: comfort, design and performance
A good LED mask combines advanced technology and ergonomic design.
- Full face coverage : It should cover the entire face, including the forehead and areas prone to sagging (jawline, eye and mouth area).
