The world of technology is evolving rapidly, which is a great ally of the world of aesthetics. What could previously be a painful and time-consuming procedure is now something easy to acquire, quickly and effectively.
At the moment, the aesthetic procedure that has become popular with celebrities is the LED mask, one of the most modern procedures to combat wrinkles and expression lines, overcome acne and remove blemishes. This phototherapy with LED light alters cellular metabolism through a wave of low-intensity electromagnetic energy. It is a safe, quick and painless treatment.
After cleansing your skin well, the mask is applied and, depending on your needs, the lights will have a certain color. There are six distinct colors:
Red light: the red LED has an anti-inflammatory, healing action and stimulates collagen, functioning as an anti-aging agent;
Green light: works to reduce age spots and, consequently, evens out the skin;
Blue light: as it has an antibacterial effect, it is more suitable for acne-prone skin, and also has a moisturizing effect;
Yellow light: stimulates collagen, has a draining effect and improves skin elasticity, which is why it is usually used in conjunction with red lights;
White light: activates blood and lymphatic circulation;
Purple light: promotes skin balance, cellular restructuring and combats skin dryness, making it ideal for dry or very dry skin.
Although this procedure is quite effective and safe, care must be taken to ensure it does not have the opposite effect. This treatment can be done at home. However, it is recommended that it be carried out by a professional. It should not exceed three weekly sessions, nor should it exceed 15 minutes of use. It is not recommended for people with skin problems, such as melanomas and dermatitis.
Since the skin is our largest organ, there is little care required. Although this phototherapy has a higher price in clinics, it is preferable to invest in something reliable to avoid developing serious problems. Having said that, we can ask ourselves: should we continue to use our homemade (or supermarket) mask or can we risk trying a technological innovation that could slow down our aging? The question remains in the air.
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 be done in 20 minutes. UFO puts the power of LED light therapy in your hands, with three photofacial treatments in one device, to use at home in a completely safe way. The device's red light increases collagen and fibroblast production, as well as circulation and the formation of new capillaries, leaving the skin with an instant healthy glow, something that helps stimulate healing and repair damage.
