LED mask ads banned over acne and rosacea claims
Adverts for LED face masks banned for making unauthorised acne and rosacea claims. Dermatologists debate the effectiveness of at-home LED masks compared to medical-grade devices. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) bans ads for unregistered cosmetic devices, emphasizing the need for medical claims to be supported by evidence. LED therapy for skin conditions must be registered with the MHRA, with devices making false claims facing advertising bans.
