The Google search for “LED face masks” has gone up by 41% in the past year and we have seen them all over social media. At-home LED light therapy devices are super trending right now and we couldn’t resist but testing them on our own to find out if they’re truly worth it.
Red light therapy has several benefits, mainly for your skin. It’s supposed to:
- rejuvenate skin
- assist in wound healing
- improve acne & facial texture
- reduce wrinkles, fine lines, age spots & stretch marks
- reduce muscle pain and inflammation
- improve psoriasis, rosacea and eczema
- promote healthy aging
- increase blood flow & levels of collagen
By choosing the device, we came across the Currentbody LED Light Therapy Face Mask, the No.1 best-selling at-home light therapy tool. According to Currentbody, the device is clinically proven to reduce wrinkles in just 4 weeks, improve skin tone, texture and firmness. It is a popular option worldwide, beloved celebrities & influencers but what makes the Currentbody LED mask so special?
The idea behind the LED gadget is to bring technologies that already exist in skin clinics and their efficacy to your home. By using a certain wavelength of red light, it penetrates the skin’s surface and stimulates the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) in the mitochondria of cells. This can lead to several benefits, as mentioned above.
The flexible silicone design of the Currentbody LED mask makes it easy to stay consistent, because of its efficacy and comfort. Due to its optimal coverage it ensures complete, even light distribution over the entire skin’s surface. Not to mention, it’s completely flat, so it’s also super easy to travel with (it also comes with a dust bag).
The mask should be used on clean and dry skin, before applying any serum or cream as this can block the LED light from entering the skin. You simply place the mask on your face and secure it on the back of your head with the velcro straps. Afterwards you just press the button on the controller and go. The mask has an integrated 10-minute timer that automatically shuts off the lights. According to Currentbody, there is no way to overdo the treatment: 10 minutes is all you need and they recommend doing the treatment five times per week.
After using the mask for some time now, we want to mention that you won’t see immediate results - it’s all about consistency. However, right after using it you get kind of the same feeling as you do after a professional facial - your skin feels plump and glowy. It’s really relaxing to lay down for those 10 minutes and either take this moment only for yourself or put on your favorite podcast or some music. But if you’re someone who can’t sit still, you can simply tuck the controller into your pocket and do some other stuff in the meantime. Because of its flexible fit, it does not slip down during any activities.
During the treatment you don’t feel anything and once it’s done it will simply turn off. You can then just continue with your skincare routine as usual. We’re still at the start of our red light therapy journey but so far our skin has never looked better. In our opinion, it’s an excellent complement to any professional skincare clinic treatments you’re doing on a regular basis. And this is not only for you, we believe that this is also a great gift for someone who is really into skincare, health & wellness!
