LED Mask
“LED technology works by causing the skin to absorb light energy. This allows new blood vessels and skin cells to be formed, along with more collagen and elastin. Photobiomodulation (PBM) has also been used to treat acne as it has anti-inflammatory effects and reduces the amount of oil in the skin.” Dr. Jonathan Kentley, consultant dermatologist, on how LED skin treatments work to Business Telegraph UK.
