High-tech beauty was once completely reserved for in-office treatments. But today’s innovations bring much of that technology — albeit less powerful versions — right to your home. LED light therapy is top on the list of at-home devices worth investing in, and with the holiday shopping season well underway, there’s never been a better time to try the treatment out.
One brand getting in on the Black Friday deals is Bon Charge. The Australia-based brand offers a range of LED light therapy treatments, from the classic face mask to a more elaborate blanket that’s aimed at muscle recovery. The brand has even brought other wellness tools into the mix, including ice rollers, blue light-blocking glasses, and an infrared sauna dome.
From now until December 5, Bon Charge is holding a Black Friday sale that gives you access to every tool and device on their site for 25% off. To help you narrow down your search, we’ve highlighted a few of the brand’s bestsellers; find out more about the technology that powers them, ahead.
The Red Light Face Mask
LED masks are certainly the most popular gadget for at-home LED light therapy, with those utilizing red light being the most scientifically proven. For a basic breakdown of what’s going on, red LED light works at a cellular level to help to increase collagen production and decrease inflammation for improvements in skin tone and texture with continued use. Bon Charge’s Red Light Face Mask brings you a combination of red light with a 630nm wavelength and near-infrared light with a 850nm wavelength, which have been shown to encompass the ideal measurement range to effectively penetrate the skin.
The mask has also gained a loyal following for its ease of use. Operated by a chargeable controller that lets you adjust the settings and duration of each session, the mask is also hands-free, thanks to adjustable Velcro straps that allow you to make your morning coffee or read a book when you wear the mask. While the brand advises that you use the mask at least three times per week to achieve results, sessions can be completed in as little as 10 minutes (with 30 minutes being the maximum amount of time you can safely wear the mask).
One thing that’s important to consider is whether you’re a candidate for LED light therapy. Those who are pregnant, taking medication that makes skin light sensitive, or have been diagnosed with certain neurological or autoimmune diseases like epilepsy or lupus, should generally steer clear, but when in doubt, it’s always best to check with your doctor.
The Red Light Cap
Red LED light’s ability to reduce inflammation and stimulate hair follicles also makes it a promising treatment to promote hair growth. This Bon Charge Red Light Cap was designed to look like a regular old baseball cap, but inside, it’s fitted with dozens of LED bulbs that emit red light with a 650nm wavelength. The cap is operated by a rechargeable controller that sits at the back of the hat and activates a timed, 10-minute session with a click of the button. Bon Charge recommends using the device every day, but you’ll always want to place the light cap on hair that’s clean and dry.
The Full Body Red Light Therapy Bundle
To really step up your wellness game, Bon Charge offers bundle sets that combine several of their best-selling devices. This duo pairs the Red Light Face Mask with the brand’s Red Light Therapy Blanket to bring you head-to-toe benefits. Like the face mask, the blanket contains both red light and near-infrared light, which are operated via a rechargeable controller. In addition to improving the appearance of the skin on your whole body, the blanket may also help with muscle recovery because of red LED light’s inflammation reducing benefits. Double-lined with LED bulbs and designed to be zipped up like a sleeping bag, the blanket can also be unzipped into two red light therapy mats. You can use the devices together or separately, but as mentioned earlier, you’ll want to commit to a minimum of three, 10-minute session per week to get the best results.
