LED therapy face masks have been the talk of the town since the pandemic started.
Since quarantine, most women opted for at-home devices to elevate their skincare routine. This may include a facial toning massager, which comes in various designs, as well as micro-needling tools to treat scarring and hyperpigmentation.
Interestingly, aside from the fact that everyone turned into a skincare junkie during the lockdown, celebrities are hyping up at-home LED therapy face masks.

LED Therapy Face Mask Benefits
From the Kardashians to Victoria Beckham, Chrissy Teigen, and even the Queen of Pop, Madonna, these A-listers are jumping on the bandwagon in hopes of finding the fountain of youth.
However, as cited by Everydayhealth.com, these modern devices, known as Light Emitting Diodes or LEDs, are not relatively new in the market.
Based on a review by The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology in 2018, this has been used in decades "by dermatologists or aestheticians in an in-office setting to treat inflammation after facials, minimize breakouts, and give skin an overall boost," per Sheel Desai Solomon, MD.
Aside from this, the phototherapy device, which uses different frequencies such as blue, red, and infrared, showed a significant change in treating some medical conditions, including "mild-to-moderate acne vulgaris, wound healing, psoriasis, squamous cell carcinoma or Bowen's disease," and other skin concerns.
