Red light therapy has moved from salons to bathrooms, and wireless LED face masks are now the easiest way to try it at home. This complete guide gathers everything you need to know, with links to our detailed articles on each topic.
What is red light therapy?
Red light therapy, or photobiomodulation, exposes the skin to low-level red light without UV. A red light LED mask spreads this light across the whole face in a session of 10 to 30 minutes. Start with what a red light therapy mask is and how it works.
How does it work?
Red light is absorbed by the mitochondria inside skin cells, which may help them produce more energy and support natural renewal. Discover the benefits of red light therapy for skin.
What can it do for your skin?
Used consistently, an LED mask is associated with the look of smoother, brighter and more even skin. Read our guides on wrinkles and fine lines and on acne marks and dull skin.
How often should you use it?
Most masks are designed for one session a day of 10 to 30 minutes. See how often and how long to use an LED face mask and build your skincare routine with an LED mask.
Is it safe?
Red light masks contain no UV and are generally well tolerated, but some people should ask a doctor first. Read LED mask side effects and who should avoid it, and learn about LED masks for sensitive skin.
