Everything You Need To Know About Red Light Therapy After Care:

What should I do immediately after using an LED face mask or red light therapy wand?

After completing a session with an LED face mask or red light therapy wand, it is important to allow the skin to settle for a few minutes before applying any products. Cleanse the skin gently with a non-stripping cleanser, then follow with a hydrating serum or moisturiser. Avoid exfoliants, retinol, scrubs or active acids for at least 24 hours to prevent irritation. This ensures the skin can fully benefit from the LED light treatment.

Can I apply skincare products straight after LED light therapy?

Yes, but it is essential to choose soothing, hydrating products. LED light therapy increases cellular activity, making the skin more receptive to ingredients. A gentle moisturiser, hyaluronic acid or barrier-repair cream works well after using a face LED mask or red light wand. Avoid strong actives such as AHAs, BHAs, retinoids and vitamin C immediately after treatment unless recommended by a professional.

Do I need to wear SPF after using an LED face mask or wand?

Yes. While LED light therapy devices do not emit UV rays, the skin can be more sensitive to sunlight after treatment. Applying SPF 30 or higher daily helps protect the skin, especially when using a red LED face mask or a face and neck LED mask regularly. Consistent sun protection enhances long-term results and prevents damage.

How should I clean my LED light therapy device or red light wand?

After every use, wipe the surface of your LED face mask or red light therapy wand with a soft, anti-bacterial wipe or a lightly dampened cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and ensure the device is fully dry before storing. Proper cleaning prevents bacteria build-up and maintains device longevity.

What skincare ingredients should I avoid after LED light therapy?

Avoid retinol, strong vitamin C, exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA), scrubs, benzoyl peroxide and any harsh resurfacing products for 24–48 hours after using an LED light face mask or red light wand. These actives may irritate freshly stimulated skin. Stick to calming, hydrating and barrier-friendly formulations.

How to Maintain and Boost Results with LED Light Therapy at Home

Once you’ve treated your skin with your chosen LED light therapy device, follow a consistent after-care routine to support repair and regeneration. Start by gently cleansing and hydrating your skin, avoiding harsh acids or retinoids for the first 24-48 hours. Use a broad spectrum SPF daily—especially when using an LED light face mask or red LED face mask—to protect your skin from external stressors. Integrate a soothing moisturiser and antioxidant serum to fortify skin barrier health after sessions with a face LED mask, red light therapy wand or any LED light therapy device. Keep your device clean and stored safely to ensure long-term performance.
