You have heard about LED light therapy. Probably seen a product ad, or a service ad or two. But does LED light therapy really fulfill the utopia that dermatologists and skin care gurus promise?
In this post, we provide a complete guide on LED light therapy, answering key questions like what the therapy entails, if it truly benefits the skin, and how to ace at-home use of this popular and innovative treatment. Featuring the best LED facial massager on the market!
What is LED Light Therapy?
LED light therapy is a non-invasive skincare treatment that uses different wavelengths of light to address a wide range of skin concerns. These different wavelengths match with different colors and penetrate the skin at different depths.
LED light therapy is super popular today in both clinical and home settings because it improves the skin without the risks and recovery periods associated with more invasive procedures. In addition, its non-invasiveness can be very reassuring because invasive procedures, especially on skin as sensitive as that on the face, can be very expensive and very scary for some people.
The Different Kinds of LED Light Therapy
The Silk Glow Facial Massager is an LED light therapy device that has three (3) light settings, and each setting serves unique benefits for the skin!
- The Red Light: works to rejuvenate the skin and generate anti-aging effects. Red light deeply penetrates the skin and, as a result, improves blood circulation and stimulates natural collagen production. This helps to diminish dark spots, dark circles, fine lines, and wrinkles, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
- The Blue Light: works to kill bacteria that cause acne and blackheads. Blue light typically targets the sebaceous glands, so it also helps to regulate your skin’s oil production and minimize pore visibility.
- The Green Light: works to sculpt and define the face. Green light produces high-frequency vibration which deeply cleanses the skin and drains lymphatic fluid. This progressively reduces fat, swelling, and open pores. Our Thermal Neck Lifting feature also gently warms and tightens skin.
How Do You Use an LED Facial Massager?
Here’s how to bring a delectable spa experience to your own home with the Silk Glow Facial Massager:
- Cleanse your skin: Start with a thoroughly clean and makeup-free face. The Silk Glow Aloe Clarifying Gel is great for a deep cleanse, while the Silk Glow Gentle Cleansing Foam works perfectly for a gentle cleanse.
-
Prep your skin: Use a few drops of the Silk Glow Hydrating Facial Oil to prep your skin for a smooth, rejuvenating glide of the device.
- Choose your light setting: Remove the white cap and turn on your device by holding down the power button. Press the same button to change to the light setting that matches your desired results (see above).
- Massage your skin: Gently glide the device on your skin using upward motions. Repeat over the same area 6-10 times. Each session should last approximately 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, the device will automatically shut off. That’s how you know you are done!
- Stay consistent: We recommend using the Silk Glow Facial Massager at least 4 times a week for best results.
- Device care: Ensure your device is fully charged before using it. Use the provided soft cloth to keep the metal head clean both before and after use.
