LED light therapy is a non-invasive skincare treatment that has gained significant popularity in recent years. This innovative approach utilises light energy to stimulate cellular activity and promote skin health. So let’s delve into the benefits of LED light therapy for treating rosacea and addressing signs of ageing…
Benefits Of LED Light Therapy For Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterised by redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels to the face which can significantly impact one’s self-esteem. My family all have rosacea, as do I, for which I’ve had laser treatment in clinics over the years to manage its development. LED light therapy offers a promising solution for individuals struggling with this condition from the comfort of your own home.
- Reduces Inflammation: The specific wavelengths of light used in LED therapy can help to reduce inflammation, a key factor in rosacea.
- Calms Skin: By targeting the root causes of redness and flushing, LED light therapy can soothe and calm the skin, providing relief from discomfort.
- Improves Texture: Over time, LED therapy can help to improve the overall texture of rosacea-prone skin, reducing the appearance of bumps and unevenness.
Benefits Of LED Light Therapy For Anti-Ageing
As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity and begins to show signs of ageing in the form of wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. LED light therapy can help to combat these effects and promote a more youthful appearance.
- Boosts Collagen Production: LED light therapy stimulates the production of collagen, a protein which is essential for skin elasticity and firmness.
- Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Increased collagen production can help to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
- Enhances Skin Tone: LED therapy can also improve skin tone by reducing hyperpigmentation and promoting a more even complexion.
How Does LED Light Therapy Work?
LED therapy works by emitting light energy that penetrates the skin’s layers. This energy interacts with cells, naturally stimulating cellular processes that promote skin health and rejuvenation. The specific wavelengths of light used can be tailored to target different skin concerns and complaints.
CurrentBody LED Light Therapy Face Mask
Looking for a more sustainable at-home rosacea and anti-ageing treatment, as opposed to travelling to clinics along with the price tags, I came across the CurrentBody LED Light Therapy Face Mask which reduces fine lines and wrinkles, brightens and balances the skin and improves firmness and texture.
Something that swayed my decision in purchasing this mask was how over 500,000 worldwide customers reported a 24% reduction in the volume of wrinkles and 20% increase in the firmness of the skin in just 30 days. The face mask uses two clinically recognised LED wavelengths: red 633nm and near-infrared 830nm for maximum results and is incredibly easy, effective and convenient to use.
Proven to deliver visible anti-ageing results, this mask delivers LED light therapy to the face using 132 LEDs that emit the two most clinically recognised wavelengths for anti-ageing (red at 633nm and near-infrared at 830nm) which penetrate up to 4mm into the skin, reaching deeper layers than retinol can, for more significant results. LED therapy can be combined with at-home skincare products for a greater impact if you wish.
Red light (633nm) stimulates the skin’s natural collagen production to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. While near-infrared light (830nm) energises deep cells below the skin for a firmer, tighter and brighter complexion. Each LED light therapy treatment takes just 10-minutes, 3-5 times per week and can be performed on cleansed, dry skin that is free from beauty products, which easily slips into my bedtime routine, but you can also do this in the morning.
The treatment is 100% pain free, and I experience no heat or discomfort, despite having sensitive skin and rosacea. The mask doesn’t get hot, it simply shines light onto the face, for which your eyes are cushioned and protected with soft silicone inserts to keep the light out of your eyes.
It’s recommended that you conduct a sensitivity test, prior to the first use on the face, by placing the mask onto your arm to perform a treatment and observe any reaction. After using the mask my face does not change colour, nor do I look as though I’ve had a treatment. I simply place the mask onto my face, adjust the headband to fit snugly and press the handheld remote to turn it on. I can then close my eyes, listen to music, or take a mindful meditation as the mask performs the treatment, automatically turning itself off after 10 minutes.
The mask can then be wiped clean with water-based wipes to keep it fresh and stowed in its protective storage bag in preparation for its next use. This simple at-home treatment slips into my beauty and skincare routine so seamlessly, allowing me to look brighter, fresher and more youthful throughout my day.
