5 Ways to Use Your LED Light Therapy Mask

This super popular technology is a favourite for many clients. No downtime and effective results make LED treatments a must-have on your menu. LED Light Therapy can target a wide range of skin concerns and can be used in combination with other technologies and products.

Adding extras to your treatments is a great way to upsell to clients and increase your revenue. Here are 5 ways you can use LED Light Therapy in your salon for enhanced results, client retention, and increased revenue.

1. Collagen Masks

While most masks don’t allow the light to penetrate through to the skin, freeze-dried pure collagen masks do. This type of sheet mask becomes almost transparent when activated, allowing the regenerative light waves to pass through.

These SkinMate Pure Collagen Masks are ideal for use in combination with an LED treatment. Not only do they provide extreme skin hydration and anti-ageing results, but the mask protocol length aligns with most LED treatments making them a perfect pairing.

2. Serums

Infrared light can increase the absorption of topical skincare products such as serums. It’s important to use serums that are going to impact the penetration of the light waves the least. Light, water-based serums are perfect, whereas oil-based serums and thicker gels can prevent the light from getting through to the skin or reflect it.

3. Microneedling

As LED Light Therapy can promote healing and speed up wound recovery, using it in combination with a microneedling treatment can prove beneficial. Clients are often keen to limit the downtime of any treatment as much as possible and using LED phototherapy after a session of microneedling has the potential to reduce this.

Phototherapy can also have an anti-inflammatory effect, calming the skin and improving client comfort.

4. Microdermabrasion

Following a session of microdermabrasion, the skin can benefit from an LED treatment in the same way as with microneedling, with the promotion of healing and anti-inflammatory effects. Microdermabrasion can also enhance the effects of light therapy. As the top layer of dead skin cells have been removed, the light waves from the LEDs can penetrate into the skin with fewer obstructions and can increase the effectiveness of the treatment.

5. Radio Frequency

Using light therapy after a session with RF can enhance collagen production further and give even better results. This combination is particularly beneficial for mature skins or those seeking an anti-ageing treatment. A treatment of red light would be an ideal accompaniment to a Radio Frequency facial.
