LED Face Masks & Hair Growth Products: NY Post Talks with Dr. Green

Popular with celebrities, LED Face Masks are back in style, but are they worth it? Dr. Green talks with the NY Post about this today and talks about how LED masks work in the first place, for example “the depth at which LED penetrates the skin depends on the colors of light emitted, as different colors of light carry different wavelengths,” and that “Red light carries a longer wavelength than blue light and has the deepest tissue penetration of most LED wavelengths.”

Often used for acne or photo-aging skin, its best to discuss what option is best suited for your needs with a Dermatologist, though overall in most cases the risks are typically minimal, including temporary redness, dryness, or irritation, especially for those with sensitive skin. “While LED masks may only impact the outer layer of skin, it is important first to understand what type of light and wavelengths these masks are using” says Dr. Green in the article Are LED face masks effective and worth the money? Here’s what the experts say.
