Are LED Masks Worth It? A Deep Dive Into At-Home Devices

There are so many at-home LED Masks on the market but do they actually work and should you be spending your money on them? Backed by influencers and endorsed by celebrities, devices promise everything from acne control to anti-ageing miracles. But do they really deliver? This episode of the After Hours Skin Clinic is your evidence-based reality check. Dr Emma and Dr Ellie dive into the real science behind light therapy—red, blue, and everything in between. They demystify how different wavelengths interact with the skin, which conditions these masks can (and can’t) treat, and why your favourite celebrity’s skincare routine might not work for you.  They explain the science behind light therapies and break down the different types as well as what skin conditions they treat. Importantly, they cover who should not be using LED masks and compare at-home devices to their in-clinic equivalents. If you want to know where to spend your money when it comes to light therapy, this episode is for you.  Have any questions?
