Do I need to wear eye protection when using the Anti-Blemish LED Mask?
Yes. We recommend using the provided goggles to use during your blue light treatment.
What skin type can the Anti-Blemish mask be used on?
This device is suitable for use on skin with mild to moderate blemishes.
Is the Anti-Blemish mask suitable for use by people of colour?
Blue LED light can cause temporary hyperpigmentation on darker skin tones. Skin type III is described as “white, olive-toned”, and it is this tone and darker that may develop hyperpigmentation after exposure to blue light. We recommend discontinuing use if hyperpigmentation occurs. Red light and near-infrared (NIR) light are suitable for all skin tones and can help improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation. These wavelengths also help reduce redness, surface scarring and inflammation, offering an alternative for treating these side effects of acne.
What is the difference between blue light and red light therapy?
Blue light therapy gets absorbed by the cells on the skin’s surface, specifically targeting spot-causing bacteria (p. acnes).
Red light therapy works below the skin’s surface to lower inflammation and soothe redness for a brighter, clearer skin tone.
Why does the Anti-Blemish mask emit a pink/purple light?
Our device contains both red and blue LEDs in the same treatment, making the light look a pink/purple colour as the lights mix.
