Just like skincare ingredients, there are specific devices that cater to specific skin problems. From acne to ageing to puffy eyes, there’s something for everyone! Keep on reading to know more.
What is LED Light?
Before moving on to the right LED devices, you need to first understand how this light therapy can eliminate your skin woes. LED Light Therapy is a skincare treatment which uses different wavelengths of light to help solve different skin concerns. The great thing about this type of skin therapy is that it uses red light, blue light, or green light, and sometimes all, to treat skin issues, without having any side effects, making it is suitable for all skin types. Each light penetrates deep into the epidermis to eliminate the problem.

LED Light Therapy Devices For Different Skin Issues
Check out how these LED devices which target the most common skincare concerns and leave you with beautiful, healthy skin — minus any bad reactions.
Red & Blue Light To Treat Acne
You’ve probably seen this Terminator-like mask blowing up on Instagram. These LED masks which emit blue and red light are great for tackling pimples at home and removing every single trace of them. The blue light targets acne, while the red light removes any pimple marks or spots left behind. The blue light also targets acne-causing bacteria to prevent future breakouts.
LED Light To Treat Loss Of Elasticity

Once we cross 25, the collagen production in the body reduces. Collagen is basically the key ingredient that helps keep the skin firm and tight, and the moment it starts to decrease, the skin loses its elasticity. Luckily, there is a device for this issue too. LED devices which use Electrical Muscle Stimulation, Radio Frequency, and different colour wavelengths can help stimulate collagen production as well as reduce the visibility of dark spots, wrinkles and stretch marks in the process.
If LED masks are out of your budget, you can always stick to regular sheet masks that are rich in antioxidants to improve your skin’s elasticity and reduce the signs of ageing.
