You’ve probably scrolled past hundreds of social media images of celebrities posing with eerily glowing masks.
It’s enough to make anyone curious about the latest skincare sensation. But what are LED facemasks exactly and do they work?
The short answer is YES.
LED light therapy is clinically proven to help get rid of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as target other common skincare concerns.
But there’s a multitude of options for LED at-home, and not all LED facemasks are created equal. The type of light they emit, the materials they’re made out of, and the duration of treatment time needed to achieve results should be considered before you purchase.
Keep reading to find out everything you need to know about how LED works and the types of skin concerns it targets. We also cover how to use LED in combination with other skincare procedures and products to achieve firmer, younger-looking skin.
What’s LED Light?
L.E.D. stands for “light-emitting diodes”, which are clinically proven to rejuvenate all skin types. Whether you have dry, sensitive skin, uneven tone, oily skin, visible pores or a combination, LED light therapy can help improve the appearance of your skin.
The non-invasive treatment involves exposing your skin to red (630nm) and near infra-red (830nm) light frequencies. These frequencies don’t contain harmful UV rays and absorb easily into the skin.
While previously you might have enjoyed LED therapy in a clinic, now you can bask in the therapeutic light from the comfort of your home.
3 (and More) Reasons to Love LED Facemasks
LED Reduces the Signs of Ageing
LED fans are raving about the results: smoother, firmer and more hydrated skin and less wrinkles. LED light therapy is proven to boost collagen and elastin production, visibly reducing the signs of ageing.
As a bonus, LED therapy also promotes the production of serotonin. This naturally occurring chemical is essential for sleep, wellbeing and happiness.
It’s Non-Invasive
Unlike other rejuvenation procedures, LED light therapy is completely non-invasive. It’s an appealing option to those who want to hit rewind on ageing, but aren’t quite ready for more invasive procedures.
There’s no need to feel anxious about any discomfort or downtime. The anti-inflammatory effect of LED encourages healing—the perfect complement to Dermapen Treatments™.
Time Out
The only type of “downtime” you can expect with a LED treatment is a blissful 10 minutes out of your hectic schedule. When was the last time you treated yourself to enforced relaxation, simply sitting and letting your mind wander?
After your treatment, slip off your mask and face the world with confidence. It’s the perfect choice to fit in with your busy lifestyle as there’s no inconvenient puffing or redness. You glow from the get-go.
Introducing Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D.
Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D. masks for face, neck & décolleté and hand harness the latest scientific advancements and research in light therapy.
A single 10-minute session leaves your skin feeling plumper, more hydrated and refreshed. These results improve with repeated use. After four weeks of three treatments per week:
95% agree skin was brighter and plumper
98% agree skin felt firmer
96% agree fine lines were less visible
How Does It Work?
Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D. uses two proven wavelengths of light; red (630nm) light and near infra-red (830nm) light. Clinical studies have shown these wavelengths stimulate the cells that produce collagen and elastin.
LED light therapy improves blood flow and tissue oxygenation through a process called photobiomodulation. This helps rebuild the damage caused by the ageing process. Enjoy naturally plumper skin, with diminished fine lines and wrinkles.
Superior Benefits
Twice the Light
Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D. is an industry leader in at-home light therapy solutions thanks to the dual strength of light it emits.
Red light rays (630 nm) boost blood circulation and promote collagen production to reduce and prevent wrinkles. It evens out tone so you look more radiant.
Near-infrared wavelengths (830nm) are harder to find in at-home facemasks but optimal for skin anti-ageing treatments. Near-infrared light penetrates deeper than red light into the skin layers, making Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D. a superior choice.
Perfect Fit
Unlike those claustrophobic, hard, and uncomfortable LED masks, Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D. is made from flexible silicone that comfortably moulds to the contours of your face. Each light sits at an optimal distance from your skin and the strategic placement of the LED lights ensures maximum light coverage.
Comfort Meets Convenience
The lightweight and flexible shape makes Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D. a more comfortable choice than rigid masks on the market. It also lies flat when not in use, easily fitting into any suitcase when business or leisure calls you away.
High Quality
The soft, comfortable silicone of the mask is medical grade. We’re so convinced of the quality and durability of Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D. that we offer a full 1-year warranty.
Take good care of your mask by always storing it flat in its protective bag.
How Was Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D. Developed?
DermapenWorld, the makers of the original, trusted Dermapen 4™, is the industry leader in microneedling. All the products we offer work together to provide the ultimate microneedling outcomes. Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D. is no exception.
Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D. was developed by the originators of Light Therapy OmniLux®, the leading global professional model with over 34 clinical peer-reviewed papers. It works in perfect synergy with microneedling procedures, making it a perfect addition to our leading range of rejuvenating devices and skincare products.
Erase These Commons Skin Concerns with LED
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
As we age, our skin naturally starts to lose its strength and elasticity, causing unwanted fine lines and wrinkles to appear. Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D. boosts collagen and elastin production over time, erasing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Dull, Uneven Tone & Visible Pores
Is your skin looking a little lacklustre lately? Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D. light therapy can brighten skin for an even, glowing complexion. The mask also minimises pores for smooth, clear skin. Make-up glides on for a flawless finish.
Pigmentation & Sun Damage
There’s nothing more frustrating than age spots that defy all cover-up efforts. Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D. has been proven to reduce pigmentation, including age spots. The power to repair extends to any damage caused by the sun. The near-infrared wavelength helps inhibit melanin production, which improves the appearance of pigmentation and sunspots.
Dehydrated Skin
Say good-bye to stubborn itchy and dry skin. Light therapy has been shown to hydrate your skin through an increased nutrient exchange. Your face feels refreshed after a single session. Cells are energised with increased blood flow and maximised oxygenation.
Inflamed Skin
Several external or internal factors can irritate your skin causing it to flare up. Red (630 nm) light rays encourage healing, rescuing you from uncomfortable and unsightly redness or inflammation. Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D. sessions help reduce post-operative inflammation after Dermapen Treatments.
Don’t Neglect Your Décolleté or Hands
The skin around your neck and chest also sags and thins as part of the natural ageing process. To maintain a youthful appearance, it’s essential to target the entire area, not just your face.
The Dp Dermaceuticals™ L.E.D. Neck & DÉCOLLETÉ offers a seamless rejuvenation. You can use this mask on your neck and décolleté before revolving it around to treat your shoulders and back.
It contains the same optimised intensities of red (630 nm) and near-infrared (830nm) wavelengths to naturally plump, firm, and smooth this entire area.
The Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D. HAND can be used on your hands or to target other parts of your body.
LED Facemasks in Synergy with Dermapen Microneedling
The healing power of red (630 nm) light makes Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D. the perfect follow-up treatment to accompany rejuvenation procedures, including microneedling. LED light therapy is proven to reduce inflammation and, therefore, can reduce the amount of downtime you might experience after microneedling.
Furthermore, both treatments complement each other, giving you a double dose of collagen stimulation to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Enjoy smooth, radiant skin even faster.
Suitable for Professional Applications
If you are a professional and offer Dermapen Treatments in your clinic, a Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D. mask is the perfect way to boost results and ROI. Offer patients the option of LED directly after their professional microneedling procedures. Or you can retail the masks from your clinic. Reach out to your distributor for more information.
The intelligent, lightweight, and flexible design allows for the convenience of home use, but is also suitable and powerful enough for professional application. Many home salons, and locum treatment providers choose the convenience of Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D. for their business model.
How to Use
Prepare Your Face
Thoroughly cleanse your skin before use to remove any barriers to light that may have built up over the day or night, allowing the rejuvenating light to penetrate your skin. Try MICRO DERM EXFOLIANT™, a versatile cleanser and exfoliant that removes dulling residue and dead skin cells.
For best results, use Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D. combined with LUMAFUSE™ HYDROGEL SHEET MASKS. These intensely moisturising masks leave you with a healthy, radiant, glowing complexion. The LED light absorbs through the hydrogel for enhanced penetration of both the actives and light.
Turn it On
Making sure the battery is charged, slip on the flexible silicon mask securing the straps behind your head. Turn on. The mask will automatically switch off after 10-minutes.
Do I Need to Cover My Eyes?
Due to the intelligent design of the Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D. no eye protection is necessary. This area remains uncovered during treatment.
However, if you’re sensitive to light we recommend relaxing with your eyes closed for the duration of treatment.
Light products, including Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D., are not recommended if you:
Have a genetic predisposition to light,
Have a genetic eye condition, or
Are taking medication that increases light sensitivity.
Relax or Multitask? It’s Up to You
You might prefer to take the opportunity to enjoy 10-minutes of relaxation, either sitting up or lying down, breathing deeply. However, we understand that sometimes life is too busy to take a break. This LED mask is fully portable (unlike some cumbersome models), so you can multitask.
What to Do Next
Your skin absorbs skincare products more effectively after LED light therapy. Applying your skincare products afterwards means you’ll get even more out of them.
Dp Dermaceuticals have been dermatologically developed to target specific skincare concerns. Whether you want to treat hyperpigmentation, aged or sun-damaged skin or even out pores and skin tone, there’s a Dp Dermaceuticals skincare routine to suit you. Find the right products for your skin.
Then you’re all set to carry about your day with a new glow. One of the biggest perks of LED light therapy is that you immediately see results and don’t have to worry about covering up any inflammation or swelling.
Getting the Best Results
To get the best results, apply your Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D. 3-5 days a week for a minimum of 4 weeks. It’s safe to increase the number of days beyond this, and you can even double dose if you like.
Once this initial period is over, we recommend incorporating regular maintenance sessions into your usual skincare routine to keep your skin smooth, firm and hydrated.
Your Ideal Travel Companion
Dp Dermaceuticals L.E.D. is lightweight and portable. While it moulds to your face during treatment, when you take it off, it lies perfectly flat, making it easy to pack.
Use L.E.D. to combat any dehydration caused by your travels. Simply treat yourself to a 10-minute session after you arrive at your destination.
As the light therapy makes your skin more receptive to skincare products, applying a hydrating serum like HYLA ACTIVE™ immediately afterwards will give you an extra boost of moisture.
Try It for Yourself
LED is convenient, effective and suitable for all skin types. In just four weeks, your skin could be brighter, plumper, more hydrated and freer of fine lines and wrinkles.
