The world of skincare is constantly changing + in recent months, LED face light therapy has become popular for its benefits, non-invasive treatment, addressing skin concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles. It’s a pain-free, non-invasive solution to add to your skincare routine, so let’s dive into all things LED face light therapy!
First things first…the benefits.
Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles - LED face light therapy stimulates collagen production, which helps to plump up the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Helps to treat acne - LED face light therapy has been proven to be effective in treating acne by reducing inflammation and killing bacteria.

Increases circulation - LED face light therapy helps to increase blood circulation, which can help to give the skin a healthy glow.
Next up…the difference between blue + red light therapy.
Blue light therapy uses visible blue light, while red light therapy uses visible red light.
Blue light therapy is typically used to treat acne, as it targets the bacteria that cause acne. It works by penetrating the skin and killing the bacteria, which helps to reduce inflammation and redness. It’s also sometimes used to treat psoriasis and eczema.
Red light therapy is used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and rosacea. It works by penetrating the skin and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which are proteins that help to keep the skin firm and elastic. It’s also sometimes used to promote wound healing and reduce inflammation.
They are both considered safe and non-invasive treatments for a variety of skin conditions. But remember, it’s important to talk to a dermatologist or other healthcare provider before starting any new skin treatment.
Now, let’s talk do’s and don’ts.
DO cleanse your face thoroughly before using an LED mask to remove any makeup or dirt.
DO use the light on bare skin without skincare for best results. Can use light weight gel hydrators under but best on bare skin.
DO use the mask for the recommended time, usually around 20 minutes per session. Follow your device’s instructions. Omnilux is 10 minutes!
DO use the mask regularly, as consistent use can lead to better results. Start daily and then about a week later maintain 3x a week!
DO consult with a dermatologist if you have any skin concerns before using an LED mask.
DON’T rely solely on an LED mask for your skincare routine, as it should be used in combination with other treatments
And finally, the why.
I love light therapy because I know it is healing at a cellular level for the future of my skin! It's important to protect our skin now and not just focus on correction. Focus on prevention! I really enjoy sitting in my Ominlux mask while watching TV or doing the dishes before I go to bed! Knowing I'm helping my skin while multitasking is kind of nice! I also personally feel the minute I'm done masking, my skin feels and looks more plump!
