Visited a medspa in Denver last month and saw they use LED masks on every client now
I always thought those at-home LED masks were kinda gimmicky. But watching them use a medical grade one on a client with acne scarring changed my mind. The esthetician told me they see real results after 6-8 sessions. Has anyone else switched their opinion on light therapy after seeing it in a clinical setting?

YES! Oh my gosh, I had the exact same reaction. I used to roll my eyes at those fancy light masks I'd see in Instagram ads, but then I went to a medspa in Austin and watched them do a photofacial with red and blue light on a woman with really angry acne. The before and after pictures they showed me were honestly insane, like night and day after 8 weeks. I actually ended up buying a cheap at-home mask just to maintain between my clinic visits, but the in-office treatments are definitely stronger and more worth it.

And those clinic ones have way more power than anything you can buy at a store.

okay but hear me out though, i still think most of this is just clever marketing preying on people who want a quick fix. @ward.anna says she saw good results in clinic, but how do you really know it wasn't the other products or extractions they did that day? those before and after photos they show are always good lighting and the same angle, feels like every salon has that same set of pics. i watched a friend drop four hundred bucks on a home device and she barely used it after two weeks, it just sits on her bathroom counter now collecting dust. i'm not saying light does nothing, but the hype around these masks is way bigger than the actual science.
