Light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, have experienced a sudden surge in popularity as an effective facial skin correction procedure. Application is pain-free, non-irritant, and non-thermal, making it an effective light-based therapy that doesn’t require recovery or downtime. LED masks provide various wavelengths of colored LED light that are utilized to treat different layers of skin at different depths, producing a distinctive and diverse skin-corrective effect. Here, we examine the advantages of the most popular LED colors and their uses.
BLUE — Anti Acne
Blue LED is used to treat acne-prone skin as it works as an antibacterial to stop breakouts in their tracks, while also stabilising overactive oil production and reducing the appearance of active inflamed acne lesions. While blue LED works well as a stand-alone treatment, it can also be used with strategic skincare products to enhance the skin clearing benefits.

RED — Anti Aging
Red LED is a flexible wavelength that encourages the creation of collagen and elastin, which helps to rejuvenate the skin overall. Improved skin firmness and resilience, a decrease in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and a decrease in inflammation and redness are all advantages of this restorative light. Additionally, red light is used as a relaxing post-laser treatment to hasten the healing process.
