The skin care industry has seen significant changes over the last decade, with consumers increasingly turning to advanced technology to enhance their beauty routines.
One of the most prominent innovations is LED light therapy, especially in the form of LED face masks.
Initially popularised in clinical settings, LED therapy has now become an accessible and effective at-home solution, offering a non-invasive, safe and clinically proven method for addressing a range of skin concerns.
From reducing acne to combating signs of ageing, LED face masks are transforming how we approach skin care, with many consumers opting to use them daily.
The demand for at-home LED masks has been growing rapidly, as more consumers turn to clinically-proven, non-invasive skin care solutions.
The global LED mask market, valued at US$267.3m in 2022, is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%, reaching $702.9m by 2032, according to a report by Allied Market Research.
This surge can be attributed to technological advancements, a growing preference for at-home beauty treatments, and an increasing awareness of skin care’s importance.
At-home masks have been available in retail for just five years and are considerably more affordable than medical-grade devices.
But how exactly do these devices work? What are the benefits, and how do they compare with professional treatments? And what is driving the growing demand for at-home LED skin care devices?
