Sometimes it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what is bothering us about our skin. Maybe we aren’t suffering from harsh acne or severe inflammation but we feel our skin just lacks vitality and ‘oomph’.
This was the exact concern expressed by customer Hayley who when asked about how she felt about her skin said ‘it’s ok, but I know it could be better’ - as skincare experts, we know this can be a very frustrating way to feel about your complexion.

Hayley tried out the LightAura Flex LED Face Mask by Project E Beauty to see if it could help her on her quest for vibrant, smoother and overall brighter skin, just in time for summer.

Keep reading to see how she got on.

Firstly, What is LED Light Therapy?

LED light therapy is a technique that works by delivering light energy to the skin to produce a whole range of aesthetic and therapeutic benefits. This includes anti-aging, anti acne, targeting hyperpigmentation and dark spots and promotes overall skin healing and rejuvenation.

Is LED Light Therapy Safe?

LED light therapy is a safe and painless treatment, it is non-invasive with zero down time required post-treatment.

What is the LightAura Flex?

The LightAura Flex is a clinical-grade LED light therapy mask made with 100% high quality silicone to fit the facial contours. It has two light modes, red and blue. 

What is the Difference Between Red and Blue Light Therapy?

Red light therapy offers powerful anti-aging benefits by supporting the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid in the skin. It boosts skin firmness and elasticity. Blue light on the other hand is an expert acne treatment that works on the surface layer of the skin to destroy acne-causing bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes).

What are your primary skin concerns?

Discoloration (uneven skin tone) and over all dullness

Take us Through Your First 4 Weeks with LightAura Flex 

Week One: I noticed no major changes to my skin but definitely felt the relaxing effects of LED light therapy 

Week Two: I was pleased to notice a smoother overall complexion during just my second week of consistent use 

Week Three: The discoloration and uneven skin tone I complained of began to noticeably fade

Week Four: I experienced a mostly even skin tone around my problem areas, my skin was glowing

Hayley seemed very impressed with her four week treatment course and intends to continue to use LED light therapy to brighten and enhance her skin even more.

No matter how many skincare products or make-up products you apply, targeting dullness at the source is crucial to overall skin health and to achieve radiant and glowing skin.

Do LED Face Masks Really Work?

Although Hayley’s story is only one account, the increasing popularity of LED light therapy is largely attributed to its effectiveness in addressing various skin issues, including some significant anti-aging benefits. The ability to perform repeated sessions with at-home LED light therapy devices show how remarkable results can be achieved through consistent use.

But don’t just take it from us, LED light therapy is a science-backed therapeutic technique initially developed by NASA in the 1990’s to promote wound healing amongst its astronauts. The magic lies in the specific wavelengths that can penetrate deep into the skin to boost healing and regeneration there.

Are LED Light Therapy At-Home Devices Worth the Money? Here’s Our Verdict 

The upfront cost of an LED face mask such as the LightAura Flex which retails for $299.99 may make it seem like a big ticket item. But investing in an at home device is a personal choice, many of us don’t have the time or budget for frequent salon treatments which at present can be upwards of a few hundred dollars per session, with little recourse if you do not achieve your desired results. Alternatively, with at home devices, there is no upper limit for the number of treatments (provided they are being used safely of course). Consistency is really crucial when it comes to LED light therapy, and let’s be real, modern life means we already have enough appointments we need to remember. Also many devices such as those at Project E Beauty come with a 60-day love it or return it guarantee, so you can get a valuable insight on how LED light therapy works for your specific skin concern without any major commitment.
