Women who are pregnant, people with epilepsy, people on medications such as tetracycline, steroids or cortisone injections or anyone with photosensitivity should not use light therapy.

Please consult your medical professional with any concerns or questions. 

How often should I use the mask?

We recommend 3-5 sessions at 15-20 minutes per week. Consistency is key with light therapy. The more regularly you use the LED Beauty Mask the better your results will be. 

The LED Beauty Mask has an added benefit, microcurrent therapy leads. Microcurrent restores normal frequencies within cells, improving inflammation and function. When used with the LED lights the microcurrent helps strengthen and tone the muscles.  It is suggested to use the LED mask alone without the microcurrent leads for 4 weeks. Then slowly start incorporating the microcurrent. 5 minutes at first and building up slowly. If it creates irritation of your skin, simply remove them. 

How long until I see results?

You will notice your skin feeling softer and smoother within the first few uses. Within 4-6 weeks you will see the best results. Be patient and use regularly!

When you have reached your skin care goals, we recommend maintenance use of 2-3 times a week.   

Will my skin be red or irritated? 

No, your skin should not be irritated. Skin may feel a bit dry at first, we recommend using your favorite serums and moisturizers after use. 

NOTE: If one of your concerns is breakouts or acne you may experience a temporary purging of the skin. Our skin is expediting its recovery and it pushes everything to the surface. This should resolve itself within a couple of weeks. We recommend you continue with your regular treatments. It will be worth it! Do not pick at your skin! 😉

How do clean my device?

We recommend using a water based wipe after each use.
