Exclusive New DR DENNIS GROSS SpectraLite FaceWare Pro

Product Information

As with most things in skincare, your LED mask will work best when used in conjunction with the right topical products. Before you fire up your device, cleanse your skin thoroughly to remove make-up and oil. It's fine to apply skincare before using your mask, but most experts advise to apply products after your treatment, as the boost in circulation will enhance absorption. The less distance the light particles need to travel to reach their target, the greater their penetration once they arrive. 3) FYI: It won’t work sitting in your closet. Start with clean skin. Dr. Rogers noted that the best face serums and moisturizers are OK to use before the treatment, but the most optimal scenario is freshly cleansed bare skin.

The Dr. Dennis Gross LED mask is the type of daily product that works as treatment and prevention in one, provided you're patient and consistent. "It will work better for inflammatory blemishes but can help heal and restore all acne-prone skin," says Weiser. "Acne should show early signs of improvement in two to four weeks of light therapy, but it will take two to three months of consistent treatment for optimal results." (The brand also states upfront that a proper course of treatment should last at least 10 weeks, although you'll start seeing the benefits well before that.)You can perform one three-minute treatment per day, either in the morning or at night. However, the brand does not recommend doubling up on treatments (i.e., using the red light treatment directly followed by the blue light treatment.) After you’re done using the mask, the brand recommends wiping it down with a damp cloth or alcohol wipe to keep it clean. One full charge will get you between eight and ten treatments.

Dr Dennis Gross Spectralite FaceWare Pro Reviews

LED face masks use different types of light (primarily infrared, deep red, red, and blue) to treat things like acne and signs of aging. These lights have different wavelengths, measured in nanometers (nm). One nm is equivalent to a billionth of a meter. The longer the wavelength, the further it can seep into the skin. Reconsider if your eyes are sensitive to light. Dr. Rogers does not recommend LLLT for individuals whose eyes are light-sensitive. “Even when wearing eye protection, the light is still often visible and can trigger migraines or seizures for some,” she warned. If you’re looking to banish blemishes or prevent future breakouts, Engelman says that blue light is best known for its ability to kill acne-causing bacteria. It also controls oil production and can be an effective treatment for psoriasis and eczema. The Therashield 3-in-1 Light Therapy Mask, for example, is a great blue light option. Design It’s a significant investment, and I’ve felt equally enthusiastic following trials of less expensive jade rollers and sheet masks, so if you’re on a budget, explore other ways of improving your skin through massage and diet before purchasing a mask.

The largest LED device on the market for at-home use, the clinic-grade Dermalux Flex comprises 360 lights and offers a whole range of treatment protocols, from acne-zapping blue light to firming near-infrared. Use it as a canopy over your face, or position it over sore muscles from head to toe. What is LED light therapy? There's now a small but growing list of options when it comes to at-home light therapy devices. For a complete facial treatment, an LED mask is the most obvious investment, but the emergence of targeted 'wands' and smaller (more portable) treatment lights is especially interesting for combatting areas of acne-prone skin (not to mention how effortless they are to use). According to dermatologist Dr. Dennis Gross, the benefits of LED light therapy are manifold. They include treating acne, regulating natural oil production, stimulating collagen and elastin and minimising redness and wrinkles. Certain wavelengths have even been shown to reduce dark spots and uneven skin tone. While only marginally less expensive than the Dr. Dennis Gross light mask, the TheraFace offers the benefits of light therapy alongside that of percussive massage therapy. It's a versatile, multi-use product that is great for someone who wants a 6-in-1 device that can target multiple skin care issues. It comes with three percussive attachments that massage tired, sore muscles and can ease the pain of TMJ. A facial cleansing brush to ensure the deepest fresh clean. A microcurrent head that works to tighten skin and more. Like the aforementioned light mask, it uses three different light modes: one to target anti-aging, another to prevent and heal acne and a third that is the combination of both. As aesthetician Angela Caglia explains, the benefits of LED for skin were discovered by happy accident. "Light therapy was originally developed by NASA for healing wounds in space. US Navy Seals in the 1990s began using it, and shortly thereafter aestheticians brought it to their treatment rooms, inspired by the clinical data that proved LED to help with not just skin repair, but to stimulate collagen, fade age spots, and decrease inflammation and acne too."The majority of at-home LED masks offer a red light setting. At the lighter end of the spectrum, red light works to soothe inflammation and redness, while deeper shades penetrate the skin further to prompt cellular repair and circulation, resulting in a plumper, more vibrant complexion. Caglia strongly recommends using your LED mask over bare skin, as "the shine from skincare (especially sheet masks) will cause a reflection, meaning the wavelengths of the light won’t penetrate as deeply." As for Rogers’ recommendation for the best at-home mask, she likes those offering full facial coverage as well as larger-panel devices, as opposed to the many handheld options (which look like tiny smartphones or tablets). The options she prefers — the actual mask-like options — ensure the area is getting a uniform treatment. “For the best outcome, the device needs to be touching or nearly touching your skin to ensure the energy is being absorbed,” the doctor said. a. The Infrared (IR) light spectrum is not visible to the human eye. These lights will look as if they are not illuminated, but they are operating properly. If the red and blue visible lights are on, then the device is operating as designed.

c. Please try a different outlet. These tests will allow us to determine if the cord, base or outlet is faulty and the cause of the device issues. However, it's important to know that the results of light-therapy treatments are cumulative, meaning you won’t see long-term benefits from that single salon facial you treat yourself to once a year. If regular appointments aren’t an option, investing in an at-home LED mask could be the answer. Yellow LED light is the deepest penetrating medical grade treatment offered in clinics and helps to stimulate blood flow to the skin, helping to increase luminosity and plumpness. It can also help to reduce skin inflammation by triggering the lymphatic system and encouraging the removal of toxins from the body. It has also been linked to increasing collagen production whilst improving skin health and hydration. Yes and yes. It can help the body's sleep cycle Amber: It’s rare to find this light option for at-home devices (although not impossible, as you’ll see in our list above), but it's a great option for those suffering from sensitivity, rosacea or redness. It works to increase cellular growth (which promotes skin healing) to calm and soothe any irritation.However, like sunscreen, LEDs need to be used daily to achieve the desired results. If you’re only visiting your derm’s office once a month for an LED session, you’re most likely not going to see the improvements in lines and wrinkles that you’re hoping for. And you’re going to spend a lot of money for that first-hand knowledge.
