There is a common misconception that acne torments only those in the throws of adolescence and that by our early twenties, we should be entering our skin ‘sweet spot.’ Finally our acne-prone years are behind us, and our collagen stores are yet to plummet downhill. Unfortunately, the belief that acne does not follow us into adulthood is a myth, and the ‘perfect skin sweet spot’ is experienced by only the most fortunate among us.
What Causes Acne?
Acne has several causes, some of which are associated with the hormonal changes experienced during puberty but many of which can also follow us into our 20’s, 30’s and beyond. Hormonal shifts, genetics, medication, stress, and lifestyle changes can all contribute to acne flare ups. Acne is most often accompanied by redness and inflammation, and this was the case for Ashlee, our customer who used LightAura Plus for 4 weeks to manage her hormonal acne breakouts, redness, and inflammation.
Before discovering LED light therapy Ashlee was feeling ‘defeated’ and as though nothing was working. Her topical skincare routine is superb, integrating nourishing topical ingredients such as vitamin C and hyaluronic acid. But Ashlee still felt like her routine needed something a little more. Enter LED light therapy.
Ashlee used our 7 color LED light therapy mask, for four weeks to help address her skin concerns and restore skin confidence and exuberance. Let's see how she got on.
Firstly, What is an LED Light Therapy Face Mask?

They are wearable facemasks with built-in LED light bulbs to provide a powerful light therapy facial from the comfort of your own home. Although red light therapy is the most popular treatment, there are actually 7 LED light therapy colors to treat specific skin concerns, plus infrared light therapy.
Is LED Light Therapy Safe?
LED light therapy is a safe and effective treatment option that is suitable for all skin types, as with any treatment, there is a risk associated with overuse, and certain contraindications apply such as increased skin photosensitivity. Generally however, light therapy has no substantial side effects.

Can You Use Light Therapy on Acne?
Yes, LED light therapy is linked to an improvement in the appearance and recurrence of acne Blue LED light therapy is closely linked to acne, and has been FDA-cleared for this specific purpose. But how can light really treat acne? Blue light is anti-bacterial - low-level light therapy supports the formation of reactive oxygen species that effectively destroy acne-causing bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes). It also soothes harsh inflammation and redness.

The Takeaway: Are LED Light Therapy Masks Actually Worth the Money?
Professional treatments are discernibly expensive and often require frequent visits which could leave you with a ghastly bill, and a need to keep up appointments. Before you commit to a high-maintenance and expensive cycle of in-clinic treatments, it is worth exploring the at-home device alternatives. An at-home device comes with a once-off payment and no limit on the number of treatments you can have, (provided you are not running the risk of overuse.) Often all you need to do is pop on a mask for 10 minutes a couple of times per week. Many red light masks come with an eye-watering 500$ plus price tag, but this is not always the case. The LightAura retails at a reasonable $139.90 by comparison and comes complete with 450 powerful LEDs, 7 colors, and a built-in auto shut-off for ultimate safety. LED light therapy is a science-backed therapeutic technique that is fast establishing itself as more than just a fad in the beauty and skincare world.
