LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. NASA developed LED light therapy in the 1980s to improve wound healing and promote tissue growth in space. Science has now shown that LED light therapy stimulates cell division, produces new cells, and repairs tissues. This makes LED light therapy an effective treatment for skin rejuvenation and general skin improvement.

The LED Therapy Mask for Home Use

The LED Therapy Mask contains no fewer than 150 LED lights and uses 7 different wavelengths, each with its specific treatment indications. By combining various wavelengths, several processes in the skin can be influenced simultaneously. Below are the seven different wavelengths:

Red Light- 630nm

Red light penetrates deeper into the skin and has a skin-improving effect. This wavelength stimulates the production of the fibroblasts (the primary cell of the connective tissue) in the production of elastin and collagen, making the skin tighter and plumper. As a result, the skin structure and elasticity of the skin improve. In addition, the blood circulation of the skin is stimulated. Ideal for the treatment of pigment spots, sunlight damage, wounds, skin slackening, and skin aging.

Blue Light- 415nm

The blue light penetrates the least deep into the skin and works superficially. This wavelength is used for acne and improves the skin by creating oxygen at the right depth, which destroys the Propionic bacteria (which often occur in acne). This will reduce pimples and redness and fight and prevent skin inflammation. Blue light is also recommended after a peeling.

Invisible light, white light- 830nm

This nm penetrates to a depth of 30-40 mm. This wavelength provides vital energy and improved blood flow, inhibiting inflammatory processes and promoting wound healing.

Greenlight

The green light restores pigment spots, reduces fine lines, nourishes aging skin, accelerates the recovery process of wound healing, and lightens scars.

Yellow light- 590nm

Improves the oxygen in the cells of the skin, energizes the skin, treats red skin, and treats wrinkles.

Purple light

Combines the therapy forms of red and blue light. Especially helps with acne skin.

Light blue light

Accelerates the energy in the cells of the skin.

Benefits of LED light therapy

This blog will tell you the many benefits of LED light therapy. It is a painless treatment that can be repeated many times and can now be performed from home to save time and money.

The many benefits of LED therapy for skin conditions. Research tells us that red LED light therapy significantly speeds up wound healing. In particular, redness, swelling, and bruising decrease more quickly after facial treatments, which are the side effects. The red light-led therapy has its origins in the world of the American space organization NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). The time of the healing process of the facial skin is halved and is, therefore, 50% faster than normal.

 

The red LED light with a wavelength of 633 nm is the most researched in the world of LED phototherapy and has proven to be effective in reducing pain and improving local blood circulation. The 633nm wavelength has been the most studied in phototherapy, particularly its influence on the interaction of cells and tissue.

 

The blue 415 nm light of the LED face mask is particularly effective against mild to severe acne vulgaris. Acne vulgaris is a common problem affecting 80% of the population, and 30% of visits to dermatologists are related to acne vulgaris. Research by Goldberg & Russell (2006) focuses on the treatment of acne vulgaris with LED phototherapy, in particular, red LED light and blue LED light combined. The results show that a combination of red LED light and blue LED light works well against acne vulgaris.

 

Another condition that LED therapy is also suitable for is "photoaging" (the harmful effects of prolonged exposure to sunlight on the skin, particularly wrinkles and discoloration). Nowadays, non-invasive treatment such as LED therapy is preferred over invasive treatments such as ablative methodologies, chemical peels, and laser treatment. These invasive treatments risk disrupting the epidermal (outer layer of the skin). This, as a result, can lead to an increased risk of infections and abnormal and delayed healing of the wound (healing process) after invasive treatment. As a result, preference is given to non-invasive treatments such as LED light therapy. As far as is known, a treatment with LED light therapy has no side effects.

Research in 1986 showed that red LED light (633nm) resulted in an acceleration of procollagen synthesis no less than fourfold compared to the baseline level (no treatment).

Research by Russell, Kellett, and Reilly (2005) shows that irradiation with LED light with a wavelength of 830 nm (near infrared) accelerates the process of fibroblast-myofibroblast transformation and the mast cell (a type of white blood cell involved in wound healing) degranulation. This study investigates whether a combination of irradiation with red and infrared LED light has a strengthening effect.
