Dr Maria Angelo Khattar, founder of Altaderma Clinic and Training Centre said: 'Consistency really matters with LED, and so does patience. Most at-home devices need to be used several times a week for a few weeks, sometimes even a few months, before you start to see noticeable results.'

Dr Maria Angelo Khattar, founder of Altaderma Clinic and Training Centre said: 'Consistency really matters with LED, and so does patience. Most at-home devices need to be used several times a week for a few weeks, sometimes even a few months, before you start to see noticeable results.'

This LED mask features four preset routines inspired by dermatologist treatments, and uses 480 LED lights that combine red, blue and infrared together in three combinations for various skin benefits such as reduced fine lines and puffiness. 

This also allows you to address specific skin concerns - the Under-Eye Cooling program helps depuff your under eyes in as little as five minutes, making it perfect for just before heading out. 

The Better Ageing preset utilises red LEDs and infrared to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in a quick six-minute routine, with results visible after consistent use at only eight weeks. 

For those looking to reduce the appearance of blemishes, textured, or uneven skin, the Blemish Repair mode, an eight-minute routine that uses red, blue and infrared, will become your go-to. 

If maintaining complexion and boosting skin brightness is a priority, the speedy four-minute Skin Sustain mode is sure to give the results you want. 

With each treatment lasting under 10 minutes, it's easy to slot into a nightly routine (or even lunch break!) rather than having to get to and from your local clinic, allowing you to have more time to yourself.

And no matter what your skin tone and skin type are, from dry to oily to sensitive, this mask is safe and effective, making it an ideal at-home LED treatment for everyone (of course, if you have any skin conditions, consult a dermatologist before use). 

The best thing? The mask is big enough to cover all face shapes and sizes, making it suitable for everyone. 

But what did an expert say about at-home LED treatments? 


'Cold therapy is primarily effective in the short term,' explained Dr Aliaa Ahmed, Aesthetic Doctor at Harley Street Dermal when asked about the effectiveness of cold therapy skin treatments

'It helps reduce puffiness, calm inflammation and temporarily tighten the appearance of pores by constricting blood vessels... They’re excellent for soothing and depuffing, particularly before events, but they’re not a long-term anti-ageing solution.'

When asked about the difference between red, blue and Infrared LED light therapy, she said: 'LED light therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all - each colour works at a different depth and for a different concern. Red light operates at a mid-level in the skin, stimulating collagen production and supporting overall skin rejuvenation.'

She continued: 'Blue light works much closer to the surface and is best known for targeting acne-causing bacteria. Infrared light penetrates the deepest layers, where it supports cellular repair, reduces inflammation and enhances circulation - making it particularly beneficial for healing, recovery and overall skin health.' 

Each treatment takes less than 10 minutes, making it ideal for those with busy schedules who can't fit in time-consuming trips to the dermatologist

And customers are loving it, with one satisfied customer saying, 'Wow, I absolutely love this mask, I can sit for 10 mins through the week and give my skin the self-care it needs. I’ve really noticed a difference with my skin tone.'

'I suffer with cystic acne, and nothing usually works to calm it down. I’ve tried medications, creams and even nothing but 12 days in and my skin is amazing,'

'My mask is my favourite part of the day,' another raved. 

A third added: 'Better than Cher at turning back time! Makes skin so soft after a few days, glowy skin, the eye cooler is absolute heaven, especially first thing in the morning, no puffiness.'
