There was once a time when you had to go to a dermatologist or a medical spa to access the most effective skincare treatments like lasers and microcurrent facials, but with all the at-home beauty tools at our fingertips these days, many of these in-office treatments can now be done at home. My favorite at-home beauty tools are LED red light therapy face masks, which have been clinically proven to help boost collagen, fade fine lines and scarring, and accelerate cell turnover.
Years of ample research indicate red light therapy’s broad therapeutic benefits for mood, hair loss, and skin. “For decades, it has been researched by scientists who discovered that light in a narrow band of red and near-infrared can safely produce health benefits. The authors of thousands of published peer-reviewed papers believe that this band of light stimulates the mitochondria in your cells to create the energy we need,” Dr. Sarah de la Torre, Chief Medical Officer, Joylux, previously told Scouted. “Red light can improve the appearance of skin by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin texture and tone, and reducing acne and rosacea.”
