Red light therapy masks are devices that use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to emit red, near-infrared, and blue wavelengths, which can help address aging, acne, pigmentation, and collagen production
. Some popular red light therapy masks include:
- CurrentBody LED Face Mask : This mask has 132 LED bulbs and uses clinically proven wavelengths to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, reducing the appearance of fine wrinkles
- Shani Darden by Déesse PRO LED Light Mask : This FDA-cleared device addresses aging, acne, and pigmentation while supporting collagen production. It includes 238 LED lights in red, near-infrared, and blue wavelengths
- DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro : This hands-free, cordless mask emits red, blue, and near-infrared wavelengths for anti-aging therapy, acne therapy, and combination therapy (treating both anti-aging and acne concerns)
- Zobelle Glow LED Light Therapy Mask : This rechargeable, lightweight mask offers three treatment modes (red, blue, and yellow) for improving circulation, promoting collagen and elastin production, and brightening the skin
Some skincare products designed to be used with red light therapy include creams with ingredients like salicylic acid and other beta hydroxy acids
. These products are designed to complement the effects of red light wavelengths and may provide additional benefits such as healthy skin pH, protection, and encouragement of collagen production
. When using red light therapy, it is essential to maintain a clean face and avoid using products containing active ingredients like Vitamin C or Retinol, as they can increase skin irritation
