LED vs Laser: we tested the 2 best Beauty Tech devices

Are you ready to take the plunge into Beauty Tech, but (still) don't know which device to choose? The home laser revolution, the power of LEDs... Oh My Cream has tested the latest beauty innovations for you and presents the 2 best devices on the market for visibly transformed skin.

The most efficient LED mask on the market

What is it?

The best LED mask in beauty tech! Optimized down to the smallest detail, the Anti-Aging LED Mask Le Professionnel Nooance has the highest density of LEDs per square centimeter in the world, for unequalled effectiveness thanks to this patented distribution. What's more, its LEDs are medical-grade, and their wavelengths (633 nm for red LEDs and 830 nm for infrared) benefit from unanimous scientific consensus. 

 

 

How does it work?

Its 99 red LEDs and 99 infrared LEDs send light energy to regenerate cells by penetrating the skin to reach the cell's energy center: the mitochondria. This triggers a biochemical reaction that reduces oxidative stress in the cell, the cause of cell ageing, loss of elasticity and skin inflammation, accelerating cell regeneration, slowing down skin ageing and helping skin regain its suppleness and firmness. What's more, LED power is optimized thanks to two coupled wavelengths that ensure a targeted approach so as not to dilute the power delivered to the heart of the cells.

How to use: 3 x 10-minute sessions per week for results in just a few weeks. 

Its benefits: The amount of light emitted by its LEDs that reaches the skin (also known as exceptional irradiance) acts in just 10 minutes to maximize skin benefits on blemishes, acne, redness, radiance, even skin tone, as well as hydration, elasticity and signs of aging.

  • Signs of aging: it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, key components for firm, younger-looking skin. It also helps reduce skin inflammation and increase hydration. As a result, it visibly rejuvenates the skin, slows the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and visibly diminishes crow's feet and nasolabial fold wrinkles. 

  • Radiance: provides an immediate burst of radiance and evens out the complexion while regulating sebum, tightening pores and reducing the appearance of pigmentation spots and scars.

  • Elasticity and firmness: reinforces skin elasticity and firms facial contours.

  • Blemishes and acne: it has healing and soothing properties, helping to reduce acne scars, brown spots and skin imperfections. It also stimulates blood circulation, improving cell oxygenation and nutrient supply.

The little extra that really makes all the difference: Comfortable thanks to its extra-soft medical silicone, it's easy to use and perfectly suited to the eye, mouth and nose contours. 

What we (really) thought: "The 10-minute sessions make it easy to fit into a busy schedule. From 3 sessions a week, the effects on glow are immediately visible. My rosacea-prone skin was also quickly soothed and redness neutralized. As for the anti-aging aspect, I've noticed an improvement in the fine lines around my eyes and mouth. Good point too for the compact, easy-to-carry tool." - Marion, Expertise & Experience Director 

The home laser revolution 

What is it? 

A real revolution in the world of beauty tech! While LEDs penetrate up to 10mm to act mainly on skin texture, lasers transform the skin from the inside out, penetrating up to 7cm. With the Laser LYMA, it's the very first time that a laser of such power (500 Megawatts with medical-grade quality) can be used outside a clinic without risk of skin damage. What's more, it produces an effect 100 times more effective than LED lamps, without heating up. 

How does it work? 

It penetrates deep into the skin's layers to reactivate skin cells' ability to regenerate, stimulate collagen production, awaken tired skin cells and revitalize skin's appearance. 

Use: 3 minutes a day to transform your skin in 12 weeks. 

The results? More targeted, deeper and longer-lasting than LEDs, its results are clinically proven on issues such as spots, acne, eczema and rosacea, as well as scars, wrinkles, radiance and sagging skin. 

It allows you to act on : 

  • Wrinkles: it stimulates collagen production in the dermis and epidermis, transforming fine lines and wrinkles in just a few days.

  • Pigmentation spots: disperses melanin deposits in the base layer of the skin, to reduce the appearance of pigmentation and sun spots and even out skin tone.

  • Redness: reduces inflammation in all skin layers, alleviating redness on the face and body. 

  • Skin firming: lifts, sculpts and firms by stimulating collagen production and reinforcing the extracellular matrix to restore skin elasticity.

  • Scars: it transforms scars by rebuilding skin microarchitecture and smoothing scar tissue. It accelerates the healing process by simultaneously treating all layers of skin, muscle and bone.

  • Cellulite: reduces adipose tissue to smooth skin and reduce the appearance of cellulite.

  • Muscular discomfort: effectively treats muscle damage and joint pain by stimulating microcirculation and energy production to speed up the healing process.

  • Sports recovery: stimulates cell regeneration in damaged tissue to speed up the body's natural healing process and enhance muscle recovery.

The little extra that really makes all the difference: Easy to use (and take everywhere), it can even be applied over make-up, sun protection and around the eyes! 

What we (really) thought: "I'm an absolute fan of this new-generation device, which is particularly effective in treating my eczema/psoriasis problems locally and improving the quality of my skin all over my face. I've been using it religiously for 3 minutes a day for the past month and I can't do without it! Healing is accelerated, irritated skin is visibly soothed, skin is brighter and fine lines are reduced. But as with sport, assiduity is key!" - Fanny, Communications Director

In conclusion...

These two Beauty Tech innovations are certainly a small investment to (visibly) transform your skin. But if you had to choose just one, the most important thing to remember is that they don't work in the same way. LEDs are more suitable for "superficial" treatments to improve skin texture. Laser, on the other hand, thanks to its precision, will penetrate more deeply and is therefore better suited to more targeted treatment and/or more localized skin problems.
