Light-emitting diode (LED) face masks utilize varying wavelengths of light to target specific skin concerns. These devices, often available in a range of hues, offer a non-invasive approach to skincare. A typical example involves a mask fitted with numerous small LED lights, each emitting a specific color such as red, blue, or green.
The purported benefits of these devices include stimulating collagen production, reducing inflammation, and treating acne. The technology builds upon principles of phototherapy, a practice with a history in medical treatments for various skin conditions. This approach offers a potential alternative or complement to traditional topical skincare regimens.
