Question 1

Are home led light therapy masks safe?

Accepted Answer

For adults with skin that is not photosensitive and no contraindications, well-made MHRA or FDA-cleared home masks are generally considered safe when used as instructed. Anyone on photosensitising medication, with a history of melasma flares from light, with a recent retinoid prescription, or who is pregnant should check with a clinician first. Eye protection should always be included.

Question 2

How long until I notice a change from an LED mask?

Accepted Answer

Honest answer: most people who notice a change with a home mask report it after several weeks of three or four sessions a week. Professional sessions tend to show change sooner because the dose is higher, but real change still takes a course of sessions in either format. Anyone promising overnight results is overpromising.

Question 3

Can an LED mask replace a facial?

Accepted Answer

Not in my view. LED is one tool among many. Cleansing, exfoliation, customised serums, professional-grade actives, and the conversation about what your skin needs all do work that LED on its own does not. LED tends to work best as one phase of an integrated session, or as a maintenance layer between sessions.

Question 4

What about blue light masks for breakout-prone skin?

Accepted Answer

Blue light around 415 nanometres has a documented effect on certain skin bacteria and can support a calmer, less reactive complexion in skin that breaks out. It is not a substitute for sorting out the underlying skin pattern, which usually involves cleansing habits, product choice, and sometimes hormonal context. A Skin Analysis is a more useful first step than buying a blue light mask in the dark.

Question 5

How much does a professional LED session cost in Kirkham?

Accepted Answer

LED is included as one phase of a Bespoke Facial at my Kirkham studio rather than charged as a standalone service. The Bespoke Facial starts from eighty pounds for a one hour session, with an optional Pressotherapy add-on. A Skin Analysis at thirty pounds is the right first step before any course of LED sessions.

Question 6

Is it worth buying both a mask and booking professional sessions?

Accepted Answer

For some clients, yes, and they are the ones with the clearest results. A course of professional sessions to address a specific concern, followed by a home mask for maintenance, is a sensible structure. For other clients the honest answer is to pick one route and commit to it. The right answer depends on what your skin actually needs.
