This is called <strong>photobiomodulation<\/strong>. The goal is to stimulate the cells in the dermis, particularly fibroblasts, in order to increase collagen and elastin production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Nooance LED mask: my opinion!

It penetrates the skin to encourage fibroblast activity and potentially reduce the appearance of fine lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Infrared light<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Infrared light operates in a wavelength range of approximately 800 to 1200 nm. It is believed to complement red light by promoting tissue repair and regeneration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blue light<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Blue light (approximately 400 to 470 nm) is sometimes included for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, particularly in cases of mild acne. However, it is close to the ultraviolet spectrum, which raises safety concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"756\" height=\"570\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Penetration-des-lumieres-leds-rouge-bleu-et-proche-infrarouge-dans-la-peau-le-corps.jpg\" alt=\"light med\" class=\"wp-image-17006\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Penetration-des-lumieres-leds-rouge-bleu-et-proche-infrarouge-dans-la-peau-le-corps.jpg 756w, https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Penetration-des-lumieres-leds-rouge-bleu-et-proche-infrarouge-dans-la-peau-le-corps-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Penetration-des-lumieres-leds-rouge-bleu-et-proche-infrarouge-dans-la-peau-le-corps-600x452.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 756px) 100vw, 756px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Effects on wrinkles: evidence and results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Several clinical studies and laboratory tests have examined the effect of red and infrared LEDs on reducing wrinkles and improving skin elasticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Increase in collagen:<\/strong> Researchers observed a significant increase in proto-collagen production in volunteers after a series of red light sessions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wrinkle reduction :<\/strong> In some cases, superficial wrinkles can be reduced by approximately 20 to 30%, and the skin may appear firmer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gradual improvement:<\/strong> The benefits would gradually become apparent, with peak effectiveness observed after several weeks or even months of treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there is no definitive scientific consensus on the optimal protocol for use (duration, frequency, light intensity), and results may vary from person to person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safety and precautions for use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With regard to the <strong>red light<\/strong> and the\u2019<strong>infrared<\/strong>, no major incidents have been reported to date. Nevertheless, the addition of <strong>blue light<\/strong> In some LED masks, there may be a risk to the retina if adequate eye protection (opaque goggles) is not worn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Potential eye risk:<\/strong> A case of retinal damage has been documented after using an LED mask containing blue diodes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lack of long-term perspective:<\/strong> Current studies do not provide sufficient information on possible adverse effects after several years of use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does it take to see results?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/danger-led\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"17019\">LED masks<\/a> do not appear to act immediately. Studies suggest that the maximum effect generally appears after several weeks of regular use. Some users report a visible effect after one to two months, while others notice changes later, around the sixth month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Patience and consistency:<\/strong> To have a chance of deriving real benefit from these devices, consistent and long-term use seems essential.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Uncertain durability:<\/strong> It is not yet known how long the effects last after treatment is stopped, due to a lack of sufficient scientific data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What do dermatologists think about LED masks?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Jeremy Lupu, dermatologist, confirms the effects of these LED bulbs in two colors: red and blue.\u00a0<em>\u00abEach color will have a different depth of penetration. Blue light is very superficial and therefore acts on bacteria that are mainly found on the surface.\u00bb\u00a0<\/em>describes the specialist.<em>\u00a0\u00abRed light penetrates deeper and acts more on collagen; this is called dynamic phototherapy. There are many indications for its use, from acne to scars to skin cancer... It's an extremely versatile machine.\u00bb<\/em>, explains Dr. Lupu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>LED masks, which emit mainly red and infrared light, could help stimulate collagen production and reduce certain fine lines. Despite encouraging results, there is no universally validated treatment protocol, and caution remains warranted, particularly with versions that incorporate blue light. Furthermore, no studies have yet confirmed the exact duration of the benefits or ruled out the possibility of long-term side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are considering using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/face-led\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"17001\">LED mask,<\/a> Keep in mind that this is a treatment whose effects may be slow to appear, and for which scientific evidence, although promising, remains limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bibliography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5843358\/pdf\/jcad_11_2_21.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ablon G.
