Face time: The new LED beauty masks

By Sarah Joan Ross on 8/11/2018

They may look like something left over from Halloween, but these new LED masks bring the medi-salon experience (and anti-aging and acne-fighting benefits) to the comfort of your own home

WHAT'S THE LOWDOWN ON LED?
These LED masks made the news when celebrities were sporting them on their social media accounts looking ever-so-slightly serial killer. Even though they may seem like a spooky stunt, they have some serious skincare benefits and stats behind them. They are inspired by the lasers you usually find in the dermatologist's office and employ LED (light emitting diodes), which is also known as photo rejuvenation, that you wear like a regular, dress-up mask for a few minutes a day. Depending on your concern and light colour chosen, they can smooth wrinkles, firm skin, diminish discolouration, and clear acne. For example, red will help to address the clarity and tone of your skin and is excellent for elastin and collagen production, amber and green light is beneficial for treating skin pigmentation problems and sun damage. While the blue light is clinically proven to stop bacteria that cause acne and speed up the healing process. They are the perfect accessory to your skincare regime and only take between 3 and 30 minutes, with no downtime, so they are a quick fix too. Dr. Maryam Zamani, Ocuplastic Surgeon and Aesthetic Doctor who's just launched her version says, 'I created the mask because I believe in the power of LED healing and witnessed the rejuvenating properties that are best achieved with frequent use. It is difficult to find time for frequent in clinic appointments, and it is so much easier to find 15 to 20 minutes at home to give yourself the gift of glowing skin.' We couldn't agree more.
