LED light therapy has quickly become one of the most popular skincare treatments, loved by professionals and at-home beauty enthusiasts alike. Initially used in medical settings for wound healing and tissue regeneration, this technology has made its way into the skincare industry, offering a range of benefits from reducing acne and inflammation to promoting collagen production and combating signs of aging. With the rising popularity of at-home LED light devices, it’s important to understand how to use them properly to get the best results.
In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps of using an LED light therapy device effectively and share some expert tips to maximise its benefits.
How to Use LED Light Therapy: Step-by-Step
-
Start with Clean Skin
Before using any LED device, it’s crucial to cleanse your skin thoroughly to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup. This ensures that the light can penetrate the skin more effectively and prevents any impurities from interfering with the treatment.
-
Position the Device Correctly
Whether you're using a handheld LED device or a full face mask, make sure it is positioned at the appropriate distance from your skin as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Typically, most LED masks or handheld devices should be used around 1-3 inches from the skin or in direct contact, depending on the model.
-
Choose the Right Light Colour for Your Needs
- Red Light: Stimulates collagen production, reduces wrinkles, and promotes skin elasticity.
- Blue Light: Kills acne-causing bacteria, reduces inflammation, and helps clear up acne breakouts.
- Green Light: Helps to reduce hyperpigmentation and brightens skin tone.
- Yellow Light: Improves circulation and reduces redness.
-
Set Treatment Time
LED light treatments usually last between 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the device. Follow the recommended treatment time specified in your device’s user manual to avoid overexposure. Generally, 3-5 times a week is advised for visible results, with the time adjusted according to your skin’s sensitivity and the desired results.
-
Use Consistently
Like any skincare treatment, consistency is key. LED light therapy typically shows visible results after a few weeks of regular use, so integrate it into your skincare routine for long-term benefits.
