Understand more about the LED mask and its benefits for the skin

For those who are looking for better skin, you have certainly heard about the LED mask. The use of this type of treatment has grown a lot, leading many women to want to better understand the benefits of the mask. Therefore, we consult a dermatologist who will explain how it works and the benefits for the skin.

What is LED Mask?

According to Dr. Lívia Maria Camargo (CRM SP-189909), dermatologist, the LED mask is an object that emits light particles with wavelength that penetrate the skin and stimulate the production of cellular energy. This procedure started to be developed for dermatological use and for other cases, but initially it was used for pain treatment after surgery.

LED mask types

As interest in LED masks grew, the market began to sell this product. Therefore, there are two types of masks: professional use, used in offices and hospitals; and the one for domestic use, sold in stores and that need to be registered with ANVISA, in order to guarantee the quality of the product. There are also different types of LED light:

• Yellow color: This color stimulates a cell called fibroblast, which helps in the production of collagen and elastin. It acts on facial sagging and promotes skin rejuvenation.
• Blue color: blue has an antibacterial effect. In this way, it is indicated in acne treatments, but it also helps to soften and lighten skin spots and spider veins.
• Red color: red has an anti-inflammatory and healing effect, in addition to stimulating collagen production by the body.

However, Dr. Livia says that for treatments that are effective and scientifically proven, the procedures must be performed in offices and hospitals. Since in these places specific machines are used, with correct energy levels and adequate light for the treatment. Therefore, the search for a professional is important so that due care is observed.

Questions about LED mask

As this procedure has taken great proportions, especially in the world of beauty, it is normal to have doubts. Therefore, we took the main questions about the LED mask to be answered by Dr. Livia:

What is the functionality of the LED mask? The mask emits light particles that stimulate cellular energy production. As a result, these emissions cause vasodilation that activates local oxygenation.

How does LED treatment work? The LED was initially developed for the treatment of pain in surgical wounds, soon it was found that patients also had improved healing in this region. This result is achieved because some light frequencies are able to activate and balance cells responsible for inflammation and collagen control during healing.

Is LED mask good for melasma? According to Dr. Lívia, the mask with blue light helps when it comes to softening and lightening blemishes and skin vessels. However, in cases of larger stains, such as melasma, it is necessary to associate it with other treatments to achieve better results.

Can you use the LED mask at home? Non-professional use masks are designed to cause minimal problems, but nothing is 100% guaranteed. Therefore, Dr. Lívia does not recommend the use of this type of equipment outside offices and hospitals, or without the guidance of a dermatologist.

Are there any side effects to using the mask? Side effects on the skin are very rare, but it is still recommended to perform such procedures with professionals and in places such as clinics and offices.

The LED mask is a treatment that has many advantages for the skin, when done in appropriate places and under the supervision of a professional. Despite the growth and development of masks for domestic use, these equipment do not have the effectiveness and safety that professional use has.

Risks and care of the LED mask

For treatments performed in specialized clinics and hospitals, the procedure does not pose any risks. Regarding household LED masks, Dr. Lívia believes that side effects with use on the skin are rare. However, she warns of the risk of equipment overheating, emitting UV light that can cause skin burns.
