LED light therapy (also known as light emitting diode therapy) has continued to grow in popularity in the beauty and wellness industries with many spas and estheticians offering LED masks and full-body LED beds as add-ons to skincare treatments or even as a standalone service.

At-home LED devices such as the CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Face Mask are in high demand among those who want to maintain their results at home and treat a variety of skin issues ranging from acne and inflammation to fine lines. 

LED light therapy works by emitting various wavelengths of light that penetrate into the deeper layers of skin to stimulate and speed up the natural rejuvenation process, resulting in new skin cells.

The CurrentBody LED Mask is an FDA-cleared device that is painless and non-invasive with 132 LED bulbs, patented flexible silicone which allows the maximum amount of light to reach lower layers of skin for instant and long-term results, and patented pillow technology that diffuses the LED light to ensure that all areas of the face are treated equally.

The mask combines Red Light (which stimulates collagen production, calms redness, and evens skin tone) with Near Infra-Red Light (which works underneath the skin’s surface to improve blood flow and circulation, and increase the flow of oxygen to skin cells.) The two wavelengths work together to stimulate skin’s natural rejuvenation process for a glowing and healthier complexion.

We’ve partnered with CurrentBody to share five benefits of LED light therapy for skin, from treating breakouts and redness to improving the appearance of wrinkles:

1. Brighter Skin Tone.

Exposure to UV rays causes sun damage, resulting in uneven tone and pigmentation. LED light therapy contributes to a clearer complexion by helping to decrease uneven tone including dark circles.

2. Reduced Inflammation and Redness.

People with rosacea or redness may experience much-needed relief from LED light therapy, which increases energy production in cells and works to reduce inflammation and pain in skin.

3. Fewer Fine Lines and Wrinkles.

Research links LED light therapy to increased collagen and elastin, which helps to fill out fine lines and wrinkles so skin looks more plump and rejuvenated.

4. Improved Texture.

By speeding up production of collagen, LED light therapy helps skin become more firm and supple. It also improves skin texture by reducing the appearance of pores and accelerates the healing of scars and wounds

5. Decreased Breakouts.

LED light therapy penetrates the epidermis to make skin less a less hospitable environment for acne-causing bacteria, and also helps to control sebum production, decreasing blemishes and breakouts for a clearer complexion.

Dakota Johnson, Kim Kardashian, Sydney Sweeney, and Suki Waterhouse are among the celebrities that incorporate LED light therapy into their skincare routines and are all fans of CurrentBody’s LED Mask, using it for regular maintenance and to prep their skin for red carpet events. The mask was recently worn by Lily Collins’ character on season three of “Emily in Paris,” and has been featured in Glamour, Harper’s Bazaar, and Vogue, among others.

When used in 10-minute sessions three to five times per week, users have achieved optimal results from Currentbody’s LED Mask and notice brighter and more balanced skin tone, reduced inflammation and acne, fewer lines and wrinkles, and improvement in texture and firmness.
