LED Mask FAQ

 

What is led light therapy?

LED light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes different wavelengths of light to target specific skin concerns. 

  • Red light stimulates the production of collagen. It relieves fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in firmer and smoother skin. It also helps to improve blood circulation and reduce inflammation.
  • Blue light inhibits the production of oil in the skin, making it effective in treating and killing acne-causing bacteria, effectively reducing breakouts and inflammation.
  • Yellow light is used for brightening and whitening as it targets red marks, erythema, and other pigmentation issues, resulting in a more even complexion.
  • Infrared light is the least common form used in skincare and penetrates even deeper into the skin than red light therapy, working to improve circulation and speed up the healing process of damaged skin cells.

Blackhead Remover FAQ

 

How to remove blackheads at home?

To start, ensure that your face is thoroughly cleaned and dry. Use a warm towel or steamer to open up your pores. Next, select the appropriate suction head for your skin type and set the device to a comfortable level. Avoid using excessive pressure or prolonged suction on any particular area to prevent skin damage.

Gently glide the device over your T-zone, nose, and chin, focusing on areas where blackheads are most prevalent. As the vacuum removes excess oil, dirt, and impurities from your pores, you will begin to see visible results.

Regularly squeezing out blackheads may actually do more harm than good. This can lead to increased inflammation, which can result in redness, swelling, and infection. It is best to avoid this habit altogether and instead opt for gentle exfoliation, vacuums, and regular cleansing to prevent the occurrence of blackheads.
