Another day, another scandal in the beauty industry, this time in the form of an article decrying hugely popular at-home LED face masks and questioning their efficacy. The report, published in The Times, is damning, the overarching theme being that LED masks only impact the “outer layer of the skin, rather than deeper down in the dermis.”
They claim that the only tech that can achieve the goal of penetrating into the dermis and therefore having an effect are low-level laser therapies (LLLT), before going on to reveal that the research uncovering this scandal was commissioned by a brand who make an LLLT. Shocker.
