Light Emitting Diode (LED) therapy devices are rapidly becoming a go-to solution for various skin concerns. From boosting collagen production to targeting acne, these versatile devices are loved by skincare enthusiasts and professionals worldwide. Wondering how to incorporate LED light therapy into your routine? Read on to discover the basics of using an LED skincare device—and learn how you can take your expertise to new heights at Korean Mikwang Beauty Academy!
1. Cleanse and Prep Your Skin
Start with a thorough cleanse to remove makeup, dirt, and excess oil. This ensures that your skin is free of any barriers that might reduce the effectiveness of the LED light therapy. Follow up with a toner or essence to balance your skin’s pH and allow for better product penetration.
2. Choose the Right Light Setting
Most at-home LED devices offer multiple color settings, each targeting different skin concerns:
- Red Light: Helps stimulate collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Blue Light: Targets acne-causing bacteria and helps prevent breakouts.
- Green Light: May help with skin tone, reducing redness and pigmentation.
- Yellow Light: Can improve circulation and calm sensitive or irritated skin.
Consult your device’s manual for recommended settings based on your specific skin goals and how you can benefit from LED light therapy.
3. Use the Correct Time and Frequency
Generally, LED sessions last between 10–20 minutes, three to five times a week. Consistency is key—regular use will yield the best results. Always follow your device’s guidelines to avoid overexposure, as excessive usage can lead to temporary irritation.
4. Pair with Targeted Skincare Products
Maximize the benefits of your LED light therapy by applying a serum or face mask designed to address your primary concern. For instance, use a hydrating serum before a red-light session, or an anti-acne serum before a blue-light session. The LED light can help enhance product absorption and efficacy.
5. Finish with Moisturizer and SPF
After your LED session, lock in moisture with a nourishing moisturizer. If you’re using the device during the daytime, don’t forget to apply sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to protect your newly treated skin from UV damage.
