I’m sure you have seen all the cool-looking LED light therapy mask all over. You know, the ones that look like they are visitors from Mars. Illuminating red, blue, and green light from their face. Well, don’t be alarmed this is a new facial machine that has been made available now for home use.

Even though everyone loves getting their facials everyone is getting into doing at-home facials as well. Learning from the best beauty bloggers from Instagram and Youtube. Or, taking advice from the personal Esthetician they realize that home care is as important in getting your monthly facials. That is why we are seeing everyone buying up tools that usually you would see at the ritzy Estheticatian studios now at for their home.

Benefits

Did you know it is the newest trend? LED is the acronym for light-emitting diode. A device used to reduce acne, increase skin circulation, and improve the collagen content of the skin. So you see why this diode is so popular. It does everything. 

But did you know this isn’t something new? Oh no, no, no. Lol! NASA some 40 plus years ago found out and studied that LED improved human tissue in the areas of healing and tissue growth. So then these studies laid the foundation for LED to be used for skin rejuvenation using light energy with specific colors. These specific colors would obtain different responses and triggers for skin stimulation.

Crazy right!! So to dumb it down the LED light works by releasing light onto the skin to stimulate specific responses, at precise depths of the skin. When the colored light reaches specific depths of the skin, it triggers a reponse such as stimulation of circulation or even reducing bacteria.
