Are At-Home LED Masks Safe?

Concerned about getting sun damage while using an at-home LED mask? This is one area users don't have to stress about. Rabach says that LED does not contain UV light. Licensed Esthetician and Founder of StackedSkincare Kerry Benjamin says that she has encountered a few studies that suggest LED treatments produce a very small amount of UV radiation, but none have shown that there's enough UV light to cause the typical problems associated with UV damage (sunburns, skin cancer, vision problems). Therefore, using sunscreen during treatment is not necessary. Similarly, Shamban says that photoallergy and phototoxicity generally result from UV exposure, not LED.
