If you’ve been anywhere near the skincare world lately, you’ve probably seen those futuristic-looking LED face masks lighting up your social feed—and for good reason. LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy isn’t just a trend; it’s a clinically backed, skin-transforming treatment that’s now easier than ever to do from the comfort of your own home.
And yes, it actually works. Let’s dive in.
Light therapy, minus the clinic visit.
What is LED Light Therapy?
Originally developed by NASA (yes, really), LED light therapy uses varying wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin at different depths. This helps treat a range of concerns—from ageing to acne—without any downtime.
Different colours target different concerns:
- Red light boosts collagen production, reduces fine lines, and improves overall skin tone.
- Blue light targets acne-causing bacteria and helps reduce breakouts.
- Near-infrared light supports healing and reduces inflammation deep in the skin.
The best part? It’s non-invasive, painless, and safe for most skin types.
Why Choose LED Face Masks At Home?
In-clinic LED treatments are amazing, but committing to regular appointments isn’t always easy (or affordable). That’s where at-home LED masks come in. You get the benefits of consistent LED use without leaving your couch—or changing out of your robe.

We get to choose what we stock in our clinic, and we stock these two brands for a very good reason.

Airyday Dream Light LED Mask
Sleek, comfortable, and ultra-lightweight, the Airyday LED mask is a new-gen wearable that makes LED therapy feel more like self-care and less like sci-fi. With red, near infrared, and blue light options, it’s a flexible choice for tackling a variety of skin concerns.
Perfect for anyone who wants glowing results with the option of changing what your targeting—and a great entry point for LED newbies!
How Often Should You Use LED Face Masks?
Most devices recommend 3–5 times a week for best results. Sessions usually last between 10–20 minutes. Just pop it on while watching Netflix, reading, or meditating—it’s that easy.
Consistency is key here: you’ll see the best results when you commit to regular use over a few weeks.
Who Can Use LED Face Masks?
While LED light therapy is safe for most people, there are some who should avoid it or consult a healthcare professional before use. Those with photosensitive conditions like lupus or porphyria, or anyone taking medications that increase light sensitivity—such as certain antibiotics, acne medications like isotretinoin, diuretics, or some anti-inflammatories—should take caution.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women are advised to speak with their doctor, as safety hasn’t been extensively studied. People with active skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, open wounds, infections, or cold sores should wait until their skin has healed. Additionally, those with a history of seizures or epilepsy should avoid LED devices unless cleared by a doctor, especially if the device uses pulsing or flashing lights.
If you’ve recently had cosmetic treatments like chemical peels, lasers, or injectables, it’s best to give your skin time to recover. When in doubt, always check with your skincare professional or GP to make sure LED therapy is the right fit for your skin.
Final Thoughts
LED light therapy is one of the most effective at-home treatments to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity—without any irritation or downtime. Whether you go with the professional-level Omnilux or the flexible Airyday mask, you’re investing in glowing, healthy skin.
