Is a light therapy mask worth it?

November 03, 2022
LED light therapy

Red and blue light treatment is very popular as a convenient and gentle medical aesthetic procedure that can achieve anti-acne and anti-inflammatory effects and revitalise the skin.




It can be used for acne breakouts, for sensitive skin, or even after other aesthetic procedures to speed up skin repair and help hide the signs of treatment.

In fact, light therapy was not originally developed for medical aesthetics. The history of light therapy dates back to the 1980s when NASA developed LED light therapy for growing crops in outer space and later discovered that light therapy could be used to speed up the healing of astronauts' wounds. By the 1990s, LEDs had become standard in the trauma management of US Navy SEALs.

The medical aesthetics industry would certainly not miss such an easy and versatile treatment. Of course, the LEDs used for medical aesthetic treatments are very different from those used for other effects in terms of equipment and energy.




Medical photoluminescence devices generally use different wavelengths of visible light such as red, blue and near infrared light to improve skin quality. The Healite II light meters used in our clinic are all from Lutronic, a manufacturer with over 20 years of experience in the development of medical devices and aesthetic equipment.

           
           
Light sources of different wavelengths

Red Light - Collagen Boosting


Red light with a wavelength of 633 nm stimulates fibroblast activity (fibroblast proliferation), promotes collagen and elastin proliferation and induces hyaluronic acid production. 




Blue light - Anti-acne and anti-bacterial


Blue light at a wavelength of 415nm helps to inhibit the proliferation of Propionibacterium acnes, which can cause infectious inflammation. (Note: There are many different types of acne and Propionibacterium acnes may not be the causative agent of all acne). As the mechanism of action of blue light is limited to the elimination of acne, it is generally used as an adjunct to red or near-red light to inhibit sebum production and enhance the anti-inflammatory effect while combating acne.


Near-red light - rejuvenation of the skin

Near-red light has a wavelength of 830nm. Clinical studies have shown that near-red light at 830nm has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, skin metabolism and cell regeneration effects. Many inflammatory skin diseases have a genetic component and are of course related to the environment in which they are found. Near infrared light is suitable for the relief of various skin conditions and it is the most common wavelength used in our clinics for light therapy.
