In the last five years, LED face masks have gone from an obscure, in-salon treatment to one of the most sought after at-home beauty tech devices. From celebrity selfies to TikTok reviews, LED face masks are everywhere you look. Not just that, they’re universally loved, and lauded, by celebrities including Victoria Beckham and the Kardashians, facialists, dermatologists and, of course, Vogue editors, for their ability to treat a range of concerns, from acne to wrinkles and hyperpigmentation, and even hair loss.

The way they work is fairly simple, by delivering different wavelengths of light to the skin, which ultimately stimulate cellular activity in different ways. And that’s what makes them so popular, and easy to incorporate into an existing skincare regime. “LED light therapy is an effective, painless and non-invasive aesthetic treatment,” confirms consultant dermatologist, Dr Jinah Yoo. Several Vogue staffers can attest to their efficacy, and to the effortless way they can be introduced. “Since incorporating LED in my skincare routine, I’ve seen significant improvements in the clarity and texture of my acne-prone skin,” says beauty writer Tracy Achonwa. “With regular use, the deep bumps I used to struggle with have disappeared and new breakouts are a rarity.” Vogue contributing beauty editor, Lauren Murdoch Smith, also swears by red light therapy for its rejuvenating effects. “10 minutes each day is all you need to brighten, plump and reduce the appearance of wrinkles,” she says.

With all that being said, do LED face masks actually work? And how long does it take to see results?
