ToggleWith x10 Light Therapy colours, offered within LLLT Face mask benefits, which do you choose? Imagine a skin care tool that works like a Swiss-Army knife! reducing wrinkles, fine lines, actinic keratosis, stubborn skin conditions (psoriasis and acne flare-ups included), or seeking collagen production. Achieve all by using a non-invasive LED Light Therapy Mask!
Low Level Light/Laser Therapy (LLLT) is not one of these popular nonsense trends, this non-invasive skincare treatment is backed by 1000’s of clinical and randomised trials, along with alternative medicine practices (hence why I shout this treatment from the roof tops!).
My go-to place for LED Light Therapy studies is PubMed. Simply type in LED Light Therapy into the search field and currently 6,525 studies appear: LED Light Therapy – Search Results – PubMed
But here’s the catch, not all wavelengths are created equal, so lets cut through the confusion. I’ll walk you through exactly how each light spectrum works, why slight wavelength variations matter, Spoiler: Red 630-660nm and Blue 415-460nm are both effective!, and how to tailor treatments for your unique skin.
LLLT Light Spectrum Benefits: From Precancerous Care to Psoriasis
LED devices use ranges of wavelengths to target internal and external health conditions – think of it like tuning a radio for clearer signals. Here’s the science simplified
🔴 RED LIGHT THERAPY BENEFITS (630nm-660nm)

*Near-Infrared is invisible to the human eyes, therefore when in use – no colour is emitted.

Step-By-Step Guide: Dual Spectrums & Light Intensity Adjustments
- Charge Your Light Therapy Mask
For battery operated devices ensure enough charge on the device to complete desired treatment. - Clean Face for Maximum Penetration
Always use your mask on Clean dry skin. Barriers are created by oils/make-up/dirt and will likely reduce benefits.
For Eczema/Psoriasis: Use fragrance-free cleansers to avoid irritation. - Adjust Light Intensity (some devices may not have this feature)
Sensitive Skin: Lower intensity to reduce heat (ideal for rosacea, or photosensitive medications if agreed by your GP). - Opt for Dual Spectrum devices
This feature can reduce treatment time if when needing to treat a variety of skin issues.
Acne+Fine Lines: Pair Blue with Red
Anti-Aging+Inflammation: Pair Red with NIR. - Treat for 10-15 minutes (follow user manual guidance)
Battery operated or corded products will automatically shut-off to indicate end of specific treatment session. Less is more, do not overuse. - Clean and Store Your Mask
Cleaning your mask after each use prevents the build-up of bacteria, and will ensure the effectiveness and longevity of your device. - Post-Care for Enhanced Results
Alternative Health: Apply natural personal care serums (e.g.,Vitamin).
Speak to your clinician: As non-invasive LED Light Therapy- including mask, can be used alongside other alternative therapies such as skin needling, acupuncture, massages, botox etc
