LED Masks from Therabody

An LED mask is a light therapy device that uses specific wavelengths of LED light to improve skin health. Different colours of light — such as red, near-infrared and blue — penetrate the skin at different depths to stimulate collagen production, reduce inflammation, boost circulation and fight acne-causing bacteria. LED masks deliver professional-level skincare in a safe, non-invasive way at home.

LED face masks work by emitting precise wavelengths of light that trigger natural skin processes:

• Red Light (Anti-Aging Therapy): Stimulates collagen and elastin production, smooths fine lines, and improves skin firmness.
• Near-Infrared Light (Skin Repair): Penetrates deeply to accelerate cell regeneration, boost circulation, and repair damage.
• Blue Light (Acne & Blemishes): Destroys acne-causing bacteria on the skin’s surface, reduces inflammation, and prevents future breakouts.

By combining these light therapies in a single mask, LED masks deliver a professional-level treatment that you can use safely at home.

The LED masks they deliver visible, long-lasting results without chemicals or harsh treatments. Key benefits include:

1. Anti-Aging: Reduces wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.
2. Acne Control: Blue light clears active breakouts and prevents new ones.
3. Brighter Complexion: Improves skin tone, reduces redness, and minimizes pigmentation.
4. Safe & Gentle: No irritation, no downtime - suitable even for sensitive skin.
5. Convenient at Home: Professional-grade skincare in just a few minutes per day.

With regular use, an LED mask transforms skin from dull and tired-looking to healthy, glowing, and youthful.

Most LED masks, including Therabody’s LED masks, are designed for daily use in short sessions — often around 10–12 minutes per treatment. Consistent use over weeks is recommended to see the best results, similar to clinical routines seen in studies.

Yes – you can safely combine an LED mask with your skincare routine, but to get the best results there are a few things to keep in mind:

Before Using the LED Mask

• Always cleanse your skin properly – start with clean, dry skin so the light can penetrate effectively.
• Skip heavy creams or oils beforehand – thick products can act as a barrier and reduce the effect of the light.

During Treatment

• Bare skin gives the best results – most experts recommend using the LED mask directly on clean skin without products during the session.

After the Treatment

• Perfect time to apply serums and creams – after light therapy, your skin is more receptive. Hydrating and nourishing products (such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, or peptides) will be absorbed more effectively.

Products to Avoid

• Retinol and strong acids (AHA/BHA) can make your skin more light-sensitive. These are best used in the evening, separate from LED treatments.

LED light therapy is generally safe, non-abrasive and well-tolerated. However, certain skincare products with strong actives like retinol or acids can increase light sensitivity, so many experts recommend separating those treatments from LED sessions or consulting a dermatologist if you have specific concerns.

Red and near-infrared light are often used to support skin firmness, collagen production and reduce visible signs of aging, while blue light targets acne-causing bacteria to help clear breakouts and prevent future blemishes. Some LED masks combine these wavelengths to address multiple concerns in one routine.

Yes — blue LED light specifically targets the bacteria that contribute to acne and inflammation, making LED masks a helpful part of an at-home acne care routine when used consistently.

Many LED masks include removable protective eye shields to safeguard your eyes from the direct light during treatment. This is especially common with FDA-cleared masks such as those from Therabody.

Clinical studies and user feedback indicate that consistent daily use can lead to visible improvements in skin tone, smoothness, radiance and reduced fine lines over a period of weeks. Some powered LED masks show measurable benefits in 8–12 weeks of regular use.

Therabody’s LED masks feature multiple wavelengths of LED light (red, red + infrared, blue) combined with vibration therapy in some models, providing broad skincare benefits such as anti-aging, complexion improvement and acne support. Some products are also FDA-clearedand backed by clinical research, offering professional results at home
