Do I need to wear eye protection when using the Anti-Blemish LED Mask?
Yes. We recommend using the provided goggles to use during your blue light treatment.
What skin type can the Anti-Blemish mask be used on?
This device is suitable for use on skin with mild to moderate blemishes.
Is the Anti-Blemish mask suitable for use by people of colour?
Blue LED light can cause temporary hyperpigmentation on darker skin tones. Skin type III is described as “white, olive-toned”, and it is this tone and darker that may develop hyperpigmentation after exposure to blue light. We recommend discontinuing use if hyperpigmentation occurs. Red light and near-infrared (NIR) light are suitable for all skin tones and can help improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation. These wavelengths also help reduce redness, surface scarring and inflammation, offering an alternative for treating these side effects of acne.
What is the difference between blue light and red light therapy?
Blue light therapy gets absorbed by the cells on the skin’s surface, specifically targeting spot-causing bacteria (p. acnes).
Red light therapy works below the skin’s surface to lower inflammation and soothe redness for a brighter, clearer skin tone.
Why does the Anti-Blemish mask emit a pink/purple light?
Our device contains both red and blue LEDs in the same treatment, making the light look a pink/purple colour as the lights mix.
What is the difference between the anti-ageing LED mask and the Anti-Blemish LED mask?
The anti-blemish LED Mask has a blue design, while the anti-ageing LED mask has a white design, these help to visually differentiate the models.
In terms of the LED wavelengths, the Anti-Blemish LED mask uses the Blue (415nm) wavelength which helps to eliminate blemish-causing bacteria, control oil production and reduce shine. It also includes the Red (633nm) wavelength which is proven to reduce inflammation and calm redness while boosting skin healing. This combination results in killing the bacteria causing the breakout while helping to calm down the area, reducing the time taken for breakouts to clear.
The Series 1 Anti-Ageing LED mask does not include blue light. Instead, it incorporates Red light (633nm) which boosts collagen production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and near-infrared (830nm) which energises cells to firm, tighten and brighten skin. The Series 2 LED Mask includes both the Red 633nm and near-infrared 830nm as well as Deep Near-infrared (1072nm) LEDs around the eyes, nose, and mouth, to target areas with more pronounced signs of ageing.
