In recent years, beauty tech devices have been invading our bathrooms. Previously reserved for beauty salons, light therapy is becoming accessible thanks to specialized brands like Nooãnce Paris. Inspired by phototherapy, LED light face masks offer multiple benefits to the skin: anti-aging effects, improvement of acne scars, reduction of wrinkles, accelerated cell renewal... But are these light treatments really safe for the skin? Between myths and reality, let's study the potential dangers of LED face masks .
What is light therapy, the heart of how LED masks work?
Before we explore whether using LED facial masks carries any risks, let's take a closer look at the effects of phototherapy. The benefits of light therapy have been recognized for many years, both in the medical and aesthetic fields.
Light therapy, used as a medical and aesthetic treatment
The therapeutic use of light, starting in the 19th century, was primarily medical. At that time, the effects of phototherapy were exploited in ophthalmology, dermatology, and pediatrics. Doctors used light in the treatment of depression thanks to its beneficial effect on mood. Dermatologists observed that the photomodulation process improved blood circulation and skin problems such as psoriasis, light eruption, and vitiligo. Facial light therapy then found its place in dermatology practices as a treatment for many skin conditions.
The benefits of aesthetic phototherapy on the skin
Little by little, light therapy is making its mark in the aesthetics sector. Studies show that light waves have incredible effects on the skin.
- Accelerated cell renewal: by increasing collagen production, LED light treatments fight against skin aging.
- Reduction of acne scars and pore size: Regular use of an LED light mask thus provides firmness and elasticity to the skin.
- Reduction of wrinkles and acne: the LED mask offers purifying and regenerating benefits, as well as improved skin quality.
Is using an LED light mask safe for my skin?
Light therapy, while offering numerous benefits to the skin by reducing the appearance of wrinkles, remains a relatively new technology. Lack of awareness of this revolutionary aesthetic device can be frightening. But is there really a danger in practicing light therapy sessions at home?
Safety of LED face masks: the mechanism of action of light therapy
Light therapy uses light wavelengths to target specific skin problems. These waves are then transformed into energy by the skin . This process is called photomodulation. The visible light spectrum used in light therapy contains seven colors. Measured in nanometers, the waves of these colors vary between 400 nanometers and 700 nanometers. Beyond this are infrared rays, which are invisible to the naked eye. Ultraviolet rays, responsible for skin damage, are located between 100 and 400 nanometers. The light closest to UV is blue light.
Nooãnce prohibits the use of blue light to avoid any risk to the skin. The LEDs on Nooãnce masks do not emit UV rays , which are known to cause skin damage and accelerate aging. These masks are therefore safe for the skin.
Risks of LED masks: the impact of light waves on the eyes
There are many rumors about the dangers of LED light on the eyes . Direct eye exposure to LED light is actually not recommended. Responsible LED device manufacturers recommend wearing protective goggles around the eyes while using your mask. Also, do not apply LED devices to your face if you suffer from an eye condition such as glaucoma. For safe use, do not hesitate to consult your ophthalmologist.
How to choose a safe LED face mask?
To safely enjoy the benefits of light therapy, you must take some precautions regarding the quality of the product. You will find a multitude of LED devices for sale. However, not all of them meet the safety standards necessary for safe use .
Check that the light therapy device meets European standards
LED mask options are multiplying online. To choose an LED mask that offers real and safe results, carefully examine the standards listed. It's essential that your light therapy device bears the CE mark . Furthermore, LED face masks that are too attractively priced are generally of poor quality and can be dangerous.
