New Facial Treatment Uses LEDs to Rejuvenate and Repair Skin
Sick and tired of injecting small doses of botulism into your face to paralyze it in an effort to get rid of wrinkles? Then a new cosmetic technology called Light Masque could be just what you need!
NASA has been researching the use of LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) for a while now, but esteemed London health-and-beauty practicioner John Tsagaris has found a use for the technology in the spa rather than space. Light Masque is an array of LEDs that shines on your face for a 25-minute session, giving you and your skin all sorts of benefits.
Depending on the color of the light, the treatment has different effects. For instance, use of blue light will help the upper layers of the skin, treating acne, rosacea, inflammation, and bacteria on your skin. Red light, on the other hand, penetrates deeper into the layers of your skin, treating wrinkles by increasing the collagen production of your skin cells.
According to Tsagaris, the Light Masque treatment "lifts energy levels, making patients feel full of life... [by] accelerating the energy potential of skin cells, working particularly on the mitochondria, the energy factory that is inside each cell."
Effects are supposed to be noticeable after just one 25-minute session (which, in case you were wondering, costs £75). Alternately, do a little research and make your own rejuvenating LED mask.
