Targeting Acne Safely with LUMIÈRE™ LED Mask Therapy
Acne-prone skin requires a targeted and thoughtful approach to fully harness the benefits of LUMIÈRE™ LED Mask Therapy. This structured protocol is designed to reduce inflammation, manage breakouts, and support long-term skin clarity while protecting the skin’s integrity every step of the way.
But first, let’s address a question we’re often asked.
💡 Is Blue LED Light Safe for the Skin?
It’s important to understand that the potential risks associated with blue LED light depend on three factors: wavelength, intensity, and exposure time.
Some blue lights on the market emit wavelengths around 415nm, which are close to the UV spectrum and may, over time, increase the risk of hyperpigmentation or skin sensitivity, especially on darker or reactive skin types.
At C’est Madeleine, your skin’s safety and long-term health are our top priorities. That’s why LUMIÈRE™ uses blue light at 470nm, a safer, non-invasive wavelength that remains highly effective at eliminating acne-causing bacteria and sits well outside the UV range. This makes it suitable for regular use on even the most delicate, inflammation-prone skin when used as directed.
Always follow our recommended usage instructions for optimal results and skin protection.
