Key details
A new skincare trend involving the use of infrared and ultraviolet light devices has raised alarm among dermatologists, leading to urgent warnings about potential risks to skin health. Experts indicate that while these devices may claim to enhance skin tone and texture, they can also cause harmful effects, including skin irritation and long-term damage due to excessive exposure.
The trend, which has gained popularity in recent months, is believed to promote skin rejuvenation. However, dermatologists caution that the scientific evidence supporting these claims is limited and the long-term impacts on skin health are still unknown. They emphasize that the risks associated with unauthorized light therapies should not be overlooked.
"Users often underestimate the potential dangers of using these devices without professional guidance. The promoting of unregulated products can mislead consumers into thinking they are safe for everyday use," said a leading dermatologist.
Industry professionals urge individuals to be cautious and to consult with a dermatologist before incorporating such treatments into their skincare routines, as improper use might lead to adverse effects rather than the desired improvements.
