Loss of firmness and LED lighting: 11 causes and one essential solution

by Myriam

In the realm of cosmetics, the one we inhabit here, women over 40 have many concerns: that wrinkle that wasn't there yesterday but is today, that pesky age spot that's become more prominent, that drooping eyelid, or that cheekbone sinking from its peak, so nonchalantly. But if we had to—and we should—summarize our biggest aging-related concern in a single word, it would be firmness. Or, to be more precise, in three words: loss of facial firmness . We have the best news: LED light therapy is a non-invasive, effective, comfortable, and pleasant treatment to address this loss of firmness right now. And the best part? You can do it from home.

Envejecer no es el fin. La luz LED puede ayudarte
Why does facial firmness decrease with age?

We're not reinventing the wheel by giving the most important reasons , but it's good to refresh the causes so that the solution makes sense.

Reduced collagen and elastin production: welcome LED light

There are no conclusive figures for perimenopause due to hormonal fluctuations, but it's known that we lose 30% of our skin's collagen during menopause. 30%! And from then on, the decline is gradual and unstoppable. With an LED mask like our Silicone LED Mask, firmness increases by 30% in 8 weeks. What does this mean? That what menopause takes away, LED light gives back.

Reduced hyaluronic acid levels ; LED light therapy will help.

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in our skin that helps retain moisture and keep it hydrated and plump. Babies, for example, are practically all hyaluronic acid, which is why their skin is so wonderfully soft. Over time, its levels decrease, resulting in less voluminous and more saggy skin. With just 10 minutes a day, our LED mask , in both red and infrared light modes, offers this list of benefits that sounds like music to your ears:

  • Stimulates collagen: reduces wrinkles and fine lines.
  • Improves elasticity: increases firmness and tone.
  • Reduces inflammation: soothes the skin and reduces redness.
  • Improves circulation: facilitates the delivery of nutrients and oxygen.
  • Accelerates cell repair: improves skin texture and tone.
  • Reduces blemishes and scars and diminishes imperfections.
  • Evens out skin tone: gives a more radiant appearance.
  • Prevents premature aging: combats damage from free radicals.
  • Minimizes pores: improves the appearance of the skin.
  • Safe and non-invasive: suitable for all skin types.

Gravity:

Gravity plays a constant role in pulling our skin down. As skin loses its elasticity and firmness, gravity contributes to the formation of lines, wrinkles, and sagging. Newton, the apple thing was great, but it could rise instead of fall, don't you think?

Cumulative sun damage:

UV rays accelerate the aging process; they're the evil force that ages our skin from 0 to 100 km/h in just a few years. The worst part is that you don't even realize it—it's a silent enemy. Remember the mantra: SPF every two hours, including on your neck and décolletage. And for dark spots, even in summer, the blue LED light in our LED mask reduces their discoloration by 18%. Its effectiveness is dermatologically tested.

Reduction of cell renewal:

As we age, the cell renewal process slows down. Dead skin cells don't shed as quickly, which can make skin look dull and less firm. We have the ideal combination: our LED mask with TriPollar Envig Edge fractional radiofrequency, which works at the epidermal level and is a must-have for skin with a damaged outer layer.

Lower sebum production:

Sebum production, which keeps skin lubricated and protected, decreases with age. This contributes to drier, less supple skin.

Hormonal changes:

Hormones, those playful things, affect our skin more intensely from age 35 onward. Menopause is the peak moment, so it's wise to take care of it beforehand. It's scientifically proven that technologies like LED light and radiofrequency care for cellular health. We can't stop the clock, but we can slow its march.

Genetic factors:

Genetics plays a significant role in how we age. Some people are predisposed to lose skin firmness faster than others due to their genetic inheritance. Go and dust off some old photos of your ancestors. You can browse the family album while enjoying an LED light therapy session, which allows you to do whatever you like, thanks to its protective eyewear, during the 10 minutes it takes to revitalize your skin.

Lifestyle

No, walking isn't enough; we already know that strength training is what women over 35 need. And we also know that the best amount of alcohol is zero, that ice cream doesn't cure your heart, and that sleeping 7 to 8 hours isn't just necessary: ​​it's essential. Now we just have to stick to it.

Facial fat loss:

Subcutaneous fat, which helps keep skin looking youthful and plump, decreases with age. You can notice this in places like your hands, where veins become more visible. This fat loss is dramatic in the neck and also in the contours of the face. Suddenly, we have excess, sagging skin. Our LED mask yielded the following amazing result in a clinical test conducted by an independent laboratory: a 12% thickening of the dermis. No more loose skin.

Decreased microcirculation:

Blood circulation in the skin decreases with age, which can lead to reduced oxygenation and nutrition of skin cells, contributing to a loss of firmness. And this is where LED light therapy is unbeatable. Numerous scientific studies have demonstrated how it activates cellular circulation because, as mentioned above, it facilitates the delivery of nutrients and oxygen.

Don't hesitate: LED light is the new techno-cosmetic discovery your skin needs . We're sure that, before long, every home will have an LED mask to treat loss of firmness. We hope it's ours: the Silicone LED Mask .
