Are LED Masks Safe?

One of the biggest misconceptions is confusing LED (Light Emitting Diode) with Lasers or UV light.

• No UV Rays: LED masks do NOT emit UV radiation (the kind that causes sunburn and skin cancer). You cannot get a tan or sun damage from an LED mask.
• Non-Thermal: Unlike lasers which often work by controlled heating or damage to the skin, LED is "non-thermal." It doesn't heat up your tissues; it works through photochemical reactions.

At-home devices are also significantly lower powered than the machines you'd find in a dermatologist's office. This design makes them "foolproof" enough for daily consumer use without the risk of burns.

This is the most common safety question. The light from an LED mask is very bright.

Most reputable manufacturers (like CurrentBody, Dr. Dennis Gross, and Omnilux) have tested their devices to international eye safety standards. Generally, you do not need to wear goggles, but many find the brightness uncomfortable.

Our Advice: If the light bothers you, or if you have a history of migraines or light sensitivity, always use the blackout goggles provided with the device (or buy a pair). It's better to be comfortable than stressed during your treatment.
