The world of technology is evolving rapidly, and technology is a major ally in the world of aesthetics. What once could have been a painful and time-consuming procedure is now easily accessible, quick, and effective.
Currently, the aesthetic procedure that's become popular with celebrities is the LED mask, one of the most modern procedures for combating wrinkles and expression lines, overcoming acne, and removing blemishes. This LED light phototherapy alters cellular metabolism through a wave of low-intensity electromagnetic energy. It's a safe, quick, and painless treatment.
After thoroughly cleansing your skin, the mask is applied, and depending on your needs, the lights will have a specific color. There are six different colors:
Red light: red LED has anti-inflammatory, healing action and stimulates collagen, acting as an anti-aging agent;
Green light: acts to reduce age spots and, consequently, evens out the skin;
Blue light: because it has an antibacterial effect, it is more suitable for acne-prone skin, also having a moisturizing effect;
Yellow light: stimulates collagen, has a draining effect and improves skin elasticity, which is why it is often used in conjunction with red lights;
White light: activates blood and lymphatic circulation;
Purple light: promotes skin balance, cellular restructuring and combats dry skin, being ideal for dry or very dry skin.
Although this procedure is quite effective and safe, some precautions must be taken to prevent adverse effects. This treatment can be done at home, but it is recommended that it be performed by a professional. It should not exceed three weekly sessions, nor should it last longer than 15 minutes. It is not recommended for people with skin conditions such as melanoma and dermatitis.
Since skin is our largest organ, we can't be too careful. Although this phototherapy is more expensive in clinics, it's better to invest in something reliable to avoid developing serious problems. That said, we might ask ourselves: should we continue using our homemade (or store-bought) masks, or could we risk trying a technological innovation that can slow our aging process? The question remains.
In our online store, we have an excellent option for a complete facial treatment of this level: the Foreo UFO or UFO mini! This skin cleansing device allows you to apply a smart mask (the most advanced in the world), providing you with a treatment in 90 seconds that would originally take 20 minutes. The UFO puts the power of LED light therapy in your hands, with three photofacial treatments in a single device, for use at home in a completely safe way. The device's red light increases collagen and fibroblast production, as well as circulation and new capillary formation, leaving skin with an instant healthy glow, which helps stimulate healing and repair damage.
