When Jessica Alba, Kourtney Kardashian and Kate Hudson all posted an Instagram photo of themselves during a LED light therapy face mask session, I was intrigued, to say the least.
I already have (and love) my handheld red light therapy home device, and I already know it works great for wrinkles, sagging skin, and acne.
But:
The idea of treating my entire face at the same time seemed like a major upgrade.
(Even if I look like Star Wars storm trooper while I’m at it)
So I went ahead and did my own extensive research, to find everything about LED color light therapy face masks.
If you are looking for the highest quality and most effective LED facial treatment masks, you’ve come to the right place.
In this post you’ll find:
Overview
- What is a LED Light Therapy Face Mask?
- Do LED Face Masks Work?
- The 4 Best LED Light Therapy Face Masks in 2018
- 1. Aduro LED Mask (Our Top Pick for 2018)
- 2. Project E Beauty LED Photon Therapy Red Blue Green Light Treatment Facial Mask
- 3. Carer 3 Color LED Mask Photon Therapy Facial Mask

What is a LED Light Therapy Face Mask?
LED facial masks use color light therapy (UV-free) in specific wavelengths via tiny LED bulbs to increase facial blood circulation and promote collagen production, skin healing, and acne reduction.
The best LED face masks include at least 2 important wavelengths: red and blue.
The red rays are scientifically proven to stimulate collagen and elastin production by increasing local blood circulation. The results:
1. Plumped, glowing skin immediately after treatment
2. Fewer wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin after about 2 weeks
3. Faster healing of acne
The blue rays are proven to kill acne-causing bacteria (up to 80% of them to be exact), which results with:
1. Speedy elimination of acne breakouts
2. Prevention of new acne breakouts
The strength of the light is key for success.
The weaker (and less expensive) LED facial masks still work, but they require more time and patience before you see the results.
Do LED Face Masks Work?
Both red LED light therapy and blue light therapy are scientifically proven to work.
Red light rays are proven to boost collagen production – responsible for the elasticity and firmness of your skin while promoting faster skin healing.
Blue light rays are proven to destroy acne-causing bacteria which results with a significant reduction in acne lesions, blackheads and whiteheads (without antibiotics).
Through my personal experience, I can tell you that YES, LED facial masks WORK.
But not in a flash.
When Can I Expect Results?
You’ll see some results (such as radiant, glowing skin) immediately after the first treatment.
For wrinkle reduction, toned skin, brightened skin and acne prevention you’ll have to be consistent with your home treatment and you’ll see noticeable results in 4-6 weeks.
Worth it, isn’t it?
Celebrity expert esthetician Shani Darden promises immediate results after a 20 minute home treatment and recommends repeating treatment 3 times a week for long-lasting results.
(See 3 more proven skin benefits of red light therapy – including CELLULITE – HERE)
And now, let’s see the results of my extensive research. Here are the Top 3 LED Face masks in 2017:
The 4 Best LED Light Therapy Face Masks in 2018
Me and my LED face mask
According to many experts, the best LED facial mask is the Korean Deesse Premium LED Mask (also recommended by celebrity esthetician Shani Darden), which rings in at $1,800.
But:
☑️ When we check this page on Amazon, we often find great sale prices (sometimes more than 50%). If you find it for less than $500 – it’s a great deal.
Since most of us can’t afford this price, I’ve found the 3 best alternatives, for a lower price.
These LED face mask kits are just as effective but may require a bit more “work” before you see the results.
1. Aduro LED Mask (Our Top Pick for 2018)
The Aduro 7+1 LED facial mask kit has 4 unique qualities which make it one of the best LED light therapy treatments on the market:
- It is flexible and lightweight – it is made with medical silicone and not hard plastic (like most masks) that can be heavy on your face and uncomfortable.
- 11 different treatments in one device – It has a pre-programming feature for specific skin problems – you can choose from 11 different treatments on the mask’s controller (for example – wrinkle reducer/acne buster/red away/pain blocker/skin balancer/quick fix and more!). This saves a lot of time and confusion about the right colors treatment time you need.
- It’s the only mask that includes infrared (invisible) wavelength – which penetrates deeper into the skin for boosted healing and pain relief.
- 100% portable – It has a rechargeable battery, which lasts for 4 X 20 minutes treatment sessions. You can move around and do whatever you like during treatment. The head straps will keep it on your face.
The 11 wavelengths are red, blue, green, light green, light orange, light blue, purple, light red, purple-blue, Turquoise-blue and infrared.
Here’s me with my mask:
Aduro LED mask Price
This one is more expensive than the other masks on this list, but we think it’s well worth the price.
How to use the Aduro 7+1 LED Mask:
Start on a clean face by removing any traces of makeup and dirt from your skin. Next, select your preferred treatment and put on protective eyewear.
Then, sit back and relax while enjoying your 20 minutes treatment. The mask will shut off automatically.
Here’s our summary:
- 8 different wavelengths
- 11 pre-programmed treatments - eliminates confusion and covers all skin problems
- Includes infrared wavelength to boost treatment
- Lightweight and very comfortable to use
- Portable (rechargeable battery)
- Needs recharging
- Price higher than average (but worth it)
Note
We tried the Aduro LED Mask for 30 days – click the link to see before and after pictures and our review.
We conclude that the Aduro mask is the best light therapy mask – for its price – in 2018.

LED Facial Masks Side Effects
First, you should know that color therapy LED face masks are not painful at all. Treatment actually feels like a nice peaceful nap for your face. They feel warm and relaxing, and there will no side effects if you don’t overdo it.
However:
The lights are very bright. I wouldn’t turn it over when it’s on and look directly at the lights, without safety goggles.
Make sure to use them with your eyes closed and consider covering your eyes first with a dark piece of cloth.
Conclusion
Now that I’ve done the research for you (and me…), you can safely join Emma Stone, Kate Hudson, and Kelly Rowland and enjoy the amazing benefits of LED face masks – at home.
(If you don’t mind looking like a space alien and being laughed at by your family, that is)
Our top pick for 2018 is the Aduro LED Mask. It’s comfortable, has a unique pre-programming feature for every skin condition, it included IR therapy and is 100% portable.
The second runner-up is the Project E Beauty 7 color mask.
The lowest cost LED facial treatment mask in this list is the Angel Kiss face mask.
LED face masks are all the rage nowadays, and for good reasons:
1. They cover your entire face in one treatment
2. The treatment is painless, non-invasive and requires no downtime.
3. They include both anti-aging rays and acne-fighting light
4. They are hands-free operated, and you don’t have to move the LEDs over your face manually.
5. They are easy to use and can last for years with proper care.
Also, you can check out my full comparison between the top 9 red LED light therapy home devices – HERE.
What about you? Have you tried LED light masks? Do you have any other questions or comments?
I hope you found my Led face masks reviews helpful.

Thanks for your informative reviews… Have you heard of Zero Gravity Perfectio Plus? their website sells it at $4599 but here in the Philippines, the distributor sells it at P60,000 so that is $3,074… Can you make a review of this product. they said it uses both infrared and LED light. Is that an advantage or value added feature?
March 5, 2017
Infrared rays penetrate deeper into the skin than red light wavelength, and is great for healing deep or chronic wounds and for natural pain relief. As for anti-aging, it has no more benefits than red light therapy. This mask you’re referring to seems very pricy to me. I would try something less expensive first and see how it works for me before I buy something this expensive.
I hope this helps:)
July 16, 2018
I have been looking for reviews about it but haven’t found much. I found a spa in the US that offered me the zero gravity blue sapphire for $1,000. Although cheaper than online I was afraid of getting ripped off. Is there ANY product reviews? In depth results? Pros/cons? Comparable brands?
April 4, 2017
Hi
I a wondering why the Deesse is offered so much cheaper on Amazon? Is it really the original product?
April 6, 2017
Yes, it is the original product. It happens very often when the same products are cheaper on Amazon…that’s why it’s such a popular online store.
April 19, 2017
Hi..
I am wondering… what if I buy red led strip and put it on something to make like a red led light panel…
Would it work the same?
Or is it a special red led used for the mask? Is it the same wavelength?
I saw nice and cheap color led strip on aliexpress… with a remote to change the color of the led, the mode, intensity.. as I am a DIY fan… just would like some technical advice to know if it would be effective on my skin..
April 20, 2017
You’ll have to find out the wavelength and make sure it’s the right one. Plus, red LED light therapy should be touching the skin directly to have an affect – that’s why the pre-made masks are built to sit on your face. Will you be able to to put this strip directly on your face? I don’t know…
May 1, 2017
Hi can I use more than a color treatment in one session like I need 3 of them for my skin
Thank u
May 2, 2017
No unfortunately you can’t. You’ll need to do each color separately, but you can do it in the same session. It will just take longer.
May 8, 2017
Hi There!!
First off thank you for this review I found it extremely informative and helpful and it made up my mind on purchasing led mask for home. I have a couple questions;
When using the mask is it recommended after washing my face before doing a session to put on face lotion before the session or after?
Second question the one I purchased is a Galvanic Regeneration led mask and they say maximize the results to and the effectiveness of the galvanic to use a Hydrogel Mask. Do you have any recommendations for the mask or gel product that I should purchase?
Thank you again!!
May 9, 2017
Hi:)
As for your first question, do the treatment on a clean and dry face. Lotions can block the red light rays from getting into your skin.
I’m not familiar with Hydrogel masks, try to do some research on Google.
Good luck!
May 31, 2017
your reviews are extremely helpful!
June 2, 2017
Very helpful reviews! I plan on purchasing soon! In your research, did you come across any info on safety during pregnancy? Thanks!
June 4, 2017
To my knowledge, there is no problem using LED mask on your face during pregnancy. Also, I found a doctor’s answer online for your question, here’s his quote: “Yes, in fact, these LED devices are safe for women who are pregnant and breastfeeding. And they’re a good, chemical-free option for controlling the hormone-triggered acne of pregnancy. They’re also pain free and require no downtime.”
I hope this helps!
June 9, 2017
Very helpful! Thanks for looking into it!
June 16, 2017
My husband and I have been using the $4,500 Perfectio/Zero Gravity hand held wand, for 1 month now. We are older so it takes a bit longer to see the results. And we have seen results! Already my pores are smaller and the dryness has improved noticeably. My neck is smoother and the “laugh lines” are fading. My husband uses it on his face and bald head ! It is removing the sun spots he has from a life outdoors. We both use it on spots on our hands. It is working to fade them better than the hydrocortisone cream from the dermatologist.
We figure the wand will save us thousands of dollars in future risky cosmetic surgeries and similar procedures. The sooner the better to preserve and improve your beautiful skin.
June 16, 2017
Debra,
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us! Your results are fantastic, and this is just the beginning. And the best of all – this is a 100% natural method. I love it!
June 22, 2017
if I were having a led treatment in a salon what should I look for?
Tia
June 23, 2017
I don’t understand your question…I think you mean a red light therapy treatment (it’s also called Low Level Laser).
August 1, 2017
I have used the Aduro MK2.3 light Led Mask. It was $350.00 and has an extra boost setting that will rotate many different lights during use so you can get many different benefits at once. It really gave me some good results…….Until…the USB port won’t hold the charger or much of a charge after only 18 months! And the warranty is only one year. That was quite an investment that I will not repeat as there are now many others just as good for way less money.
August 1, 2017
Thanks for sharing your experience with us Judy:) and yes, there are less costly alternatives. You can check out my results with the Project E Beauty face mask here (I tried it for 30 days): https://www.infrared-light-therapy.com/project-e-beauty-led-face-mask-review/
September 28, 2018
Have you tried using a different USB cord? Sometimes, when the USB cord feels loose or won’t stay connected or charge, and it feels as if it is the port on the device; it is actually the USB cord that is defective and not the port on the devise itself. It may seem hard to believe I’m sure, but I would recommend trying a different USB cord and see if it works for you.
August 19, 2017
Is it better or worse if there are more LED lights? I’m leaning towards the Project E one after your review but you listed that the the Angel Kiss has more lights. Thanks!
August 20, 2017
Generally it’s better with more LEDs, but their location is also important. Read the reviews on Amazon to help you make a choice.
September 12, 2017
How is NEWKEY LED MASK?Is there anyone who used this product?
September 16, 2017
Hello, can you tell me about the cleannig , I need the mak For my spa , and I am going to use the led mask with a lot of persons.
What do you think about this ?
September 17, 2017
It is simple to clean it. The LEDs are placed behind a plastic cover, and you can gently clean it with a disinfectant. No problem.
November 22, 2017
Hi, I have just purchased Project E Beauty LED therapy mask and I have already done one session yesterday. Your tester have tried that mask for 30 days and on a second week she did more than 20 min treatment. According to the user manual you can not exceed the suggested time of 20 min per session. What is your opinion on that? Also am I allowed to keep using the mask all year round?
November 24, 2017
I think that it’s safe to use the mask even for 25 minutes, I do it myself. And yes, you can use it all year round, just remember to have a few days when you don’t use it every week – to allow collagen to build up. Good luck!
November 24, 2017
What are your thoughts on the iDerma Youth Restoring Masque? There seems to be very high ratings. Thank you.
November 26, 2017
I think it looks very good to me, and yes, reviews for it are good. Go for it:)
November 24, 2017
Would any of these be suitable for a mobile beautician, or are they just home use only? Sure for insurances you need to make sure products are uk manufactured.Are any of these?
November 26, 2017
Amy,
these devices are completely portable and lightweight, and you can take them anywhere with you. They are all good quality, but I would go with the Project E one, because I have it and I know it’s good.
I hope this helps…
November 27, 2017
Is it safe to use the red light and then the blue, etc. in the same day?
Thank you
November 28, 2017
It’s perfectly safe. You can use it the same day, and it’s recommended to use the blue right after the red.
June 10, 2018
Hi, I sent Project E an email before I came across your review (which is very helpful by the way so thank you so much!) and I asked them about using two different colour lights one after the other (red and then blue, they say: “You could use two lights per session, but it is not recommended”.
Do you know why they wouldn’t recommend it?
June 11, 2018
No, I don’t know why they wouldn’t recommend it. If you want to be on the extra safe side, you can wait a few hours between the red and the blue, but I use 2 colors in each session and so far everything is o.k.
December 2, 2017
Hi Meital,
I have been considering the Perfectio Zero Gravity handheld device, and the information you have shared here is very helpful. Two quick questions – in your research, did you learn anything about any long-term safety concerns of using LED and infrared light therapy? I’m concerned about how this differs from UV rays, such as in tanning beds, etc. Evidently this is NASA technology and it’s FDA approved as a class II medical device, but not quite sure what that means. Any input you have would be greatly appreciated! The Perfectio uses red and infrared light, but I saw a visible lift to my skin in 30 seconds with the wand – no joke . Pretty amazing, but also enough to take pause and question its safety bit (for me, anyway) … thank you in advance!
December 4, 2017
Infrared and red wavelength it totally different than the UV wavelength, so you can stop worrying about that. There will no tanning or skin burning from your device.
Generally, this technology is safe and there very little and rare side effects. Some people experience some skin redness after treatment, which goes away quickly.
Listen to your body, and as long as you feel fine and don’t feel anything unusual, keep going.
Those are great results…good for you!
December 11, 2017
Can you check out the EQL Auro LED Face Mask? It’s not hard plastic or bulky, and not nearly as terrifying.
December 12, 2017
LOL…it’s not terrifying…:) I looked at it and it seems o.k, but it’s much more expensive right?
December 13, 2017
Is it better to have more LED lights in the mask to be the more effective? The angel has 400 plus vs the project E at 147.
December 15, 2017
Sorry for that mistake, I’ve fixed it now. The angel kiss also has 147 LEDs/
December 19, 2017
I know it I’d for your face, but I heard about some type of photo light for excema. No steroids or creams from doctor help and it I’d on my legs and bad.
December 21, 2017
For eczema I would use the red light wavelength, not the infrared. On a side note, I suggest you trying applying pure organic Castor oil. It really helps in my experience.
December 27, 2017
Hi, can i use this everyday? What color first should i use? Green, red, blue? Should i apply moisturizer after using it? Thanks!
December 27, 2017
Sheryl,
Yes, you can use every day but no more than 5 days a week, to give the skin time to “rest”. I used the red first for anti-aging and than the blue for acne. You can see full instructions here: https://www.infrared-light-therapy.com/project-e-beauty-led-face-mask-review/
December 27, 2017
Yes I use it 5 times a week and mine is the red light like the ad in the article
December 28, 2017
Hi I just bought a Derma wand. Do u think it would be redundant to use LED and. High frequency device? I was gonna use derma wand for under eye bags mostly and sagging around mouth. Does LED mask have lights that target eye bags? Btw thanks for taking time to research for all of us aging women! Lol
December 29, 2017
Tine,
The LED mask does not cover under eye bags very well, but red light therapy generally increases collagen production in your entire facial skin, not just covered areas (through increasing blood circulation).
I would try and see if the Derma wand works first, and move on to red light if it doesn’t. No hurry, right? :)
January 14, 2018
Hello! I keep coming back to this website as a guide as I am keen on using LED light therapy. I enjoy reading all the info and the Q & A as well. Thank you for the informative article. I just have several questions:
What is the yellow LED light for?
Can LED light help diminish old ice pick scars, and which color?
What do you think of the following handheld devices: Silk’n Titan, Truth Revitalizing Lux Renewal, and Tri-light Voyager Optimum?
Thank you so much!!! And Happy New Year 2018!
January 17, 2018
Yellow or amber light is sometimes used to treat Rosacea, and some say it’s good for pigmentation.
Yes, LED light can help diminish scars, but it will take time. Plus, I would advise applying green tea on the treatment area before treatment.
As for those devices, I haven’t had a chance to review them yet.
Happy new year:)
January 17, 2018
Are infrared and red light treatment safe to use for those taking thyroid medications like me? Thanks a lot
January 17, 2018
To my knowledge they are safe, however there are differing opinions about shining the light directly toward your thyroid. Some say it’s risky, some say it’s beneficial. I would consult with a doctor about that.
January 20, 2018
Does this work on the neck as well?
January 21, 2018
You can use red light therapy for your neck area, yes, however LED face masks do not cover the neck – only the face. For the neck you’ll need a large 2-panel device or a handheld device which you can point anywhere you want.
January 21, 2018
I keep reading red photon helps with dark eye bags, but above you stated this mask would not help. Is that correct? That is my main concern and was hoping to find the right photon for this. I love the idea of not having to hold anything! Thank you in advance.
January 22, 2018
That’s right, the mask does not directly treat the under eye area, but it promotes collagen production to the entire facial area by boosting micro blood circulation, so it is likely to help with the eye area as well.
There’s another option that will cover your entire face, including the under eye area, which requires no holding – a 2-panel table top device, like the DPL II. You can check it out here: http://amzn.to/2DpjVky
April 14, 2018
Thanks, does the Project E actually target right under the eye anyway with the eye cutouts as they are? I often wonder that.
Also, I’ve read some people prefer use for 5 days, some for 3. I’ve been doing 3 days-20 red, 15 blue, then I pick another random color usually green for 10. I didn’t think I could do it for 5 days. Are there side effects from over use? Are there any websites with recommended time/colors that you came across?
April 15, 2018
The Project E mask does not target the under eye area directly.
I use it for 5 days, and it’s not considered over use, because you have 2 days in every week where you let the skin “Rest” and regenerate.
As for treatment times, see my review and usage instructions for it here: https://www.infrared-light-therapy.com/project-e-beauty-led-face-mask-review/
January 26, 2018
Hi
I was wondering what is the difference between the cheaper and more expensive masks (such as the Dessee for example?). I read that it is more effective, but what does it mean? Stronger light?
Thank you
January 28, 2018
It’s not the strength of light, it’s in the features. The new Dessee (the original one, there are fake ones) has 6 different wavelengths you can choose from: red + near infrared/blue + near infrared / amber + near infrared / green + near infrared and so on. So the difference is on the options – you can combine different wavelengths in one treatment. My opinion is that this is not necessary and is not worth the thousands of dollars being asked for it…
January 30, 2018
Are there any differences in use for men’s skin? Also, is the project e 3 color, the same as the 7-color? I can’t seem to find the 3 color any longer. Thank you!
January 31, 2018
It’s the exact same for men’s skin. As for the Project E 3-color mask, they no longer sell it on Amazon, maybe you’ll find it on their website (but for higher price). The 7-color is the same as the 3-color, except for more color choices.
February 3, 2018
I’m curious about the led light therapy that is on the market that resembles a box that you lay under. It does not touch your face. Colors Light Photon LED Photodynamics PDT Facial Mask Skin Rejuvenation T2. Have you seen this? Will it work as you said it must touch your face. Trying to reduce large pores and texture.
February 4, 2018
Can you send a link so I’ll take a look?
February 19, 2018
Hi,
Thank you for your reviews! I was wondering if the photos are touched up at all? The transformation seems unbelievably amazing.
February 20, 2018
The photos are not touched at all. Yes, the change is visible and awesome. However, remember that to keep the results we have to keep treatment in long term…otherwise they could be somewhat reversed.
March 7, 2018
Hi,
I purchased https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L1QXWVU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
earlier today before reading your reviews. It is more expensive than the ones you reviewed and I am wondering if in your opinion it is worth the higher price. Also, there are only 90 bulbs on the mask and the rest are on the neck part, is that enough? There do not seem to be enough to cover certain parts of the face. I am still in time to cancel order. What is your opinion?

It seems to me that this one is more expensive because it covers the neck area, has infrared wavelength as well as red, has a touch screen and and has electro stimulation treatment.
From the images in Amazon I can see that the bulbs distribution is about the same as the other LED masks I know.
As for it it worth it – it ultimately depends on whether it works, right?
If it works as promised – than it’s worth it.
I think that personally I would start with the lower cost masks like the ones I’ve reviewed – to see if it works for me. If it does – it’s worth it to upgrade to a better one. I hope this helps:)

I wish there were more offering yellow/amber light. Used it a couple of times in the spa & it’s great for me for lymphatic swelling.

The Baby Quasar handheld device has amber in it: https://amzn.to/2EqypjP
But you’ll have to manually treat your problem areas, it’s not a mask. I hope this helps:)

Hello! The seller on Amazon says to use the mask on a cleansed face with no product, but I’m really interested in using either a Vitamin C serum or green tea because I’ve read that antioxidants are necessary to prevent cell death from LED, or something along those lines. Do you know anything about that? Also, do you think it’s ok for me to use this with an antioxidant serum?
Thank you!

It’s a good idea and it’s perfectly safe – if you use it only AFTER treatment, not before. Good luck!

Hi, I was wondering which is a good option to treat rosacea.. also, do you think it is safe to use while on reacutane or if you’re using benzamycin topical cream( you aren’t allowed to be exposed to the sun while using that cream)
i read that the amber light is good for rosacea so does that mean that the 7 color Project E is a good option to try out? please provide me with a link for this product as I live in dubai

Here’s my post about Rosacea, I hope it helps: https://www.infrared-light-therapy.com/red-light-therapy-rosacea/
As for the cream, yes, it may counter interact with this treatment. Consult your dermatologist about this.

Does red light LED therapy help with the widening between our nose and upper lip! Thank you
April 16, 2018
It should, yes.

Hi- I have rosacea where I flush very easily on the apples of my cheeks. I am looking for use to build collagen (red?) but am concerned about the affects on my rosacea. Does the treatment get really warm? Can I put something cool on those areas (like a small cooling pad/ice pad)? (I know it will not be effective in these areas). Suggestion on best device? Thank you!
April 17, 2018
Red light therapy can actually help you relieve and heal Rosacea. See this post with everything you need to know: https://www.infrared-light-therapy.com/red-light-therapy-rosacea/

Do you have to cover your eyes with protective glasses if you place infrared pads over your eyes or is closing your eyes sufficient?
April 24, 2018
The eye area in these LED masks is not covered with LED bulbs so closing your eyes is enough. If you place infrared pads over your eyes I would use goggles, yes.

Hello Meital,
Do you recommend something in particular for my inherited dark circles? I have very thin skin under my eyes.
Thank you,
Alexis

hello, I just received my light mask today and then read the warnings and it said not to use if using thyroid medication? I had thyroid cancer and had my thyroid taken out do you know if it is ok to use or should I send it back?
Thank you

Red light therapy is a controversial subject when it comes to red light therapy. Some studies say it’s beneficial, some say it’s risky. Here’s an example (one of many) that concludes that LLLT is beneficial and safe: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20662037
On the other hand, some experts think that wavelength, treatment time etc is very important when there’s a health condition like yours. I believe that the mask comes with this warning to be on the safe side.
I think that before you send it back, just ask your doctor if it’s safe. If you are concerned, send it back.

Have you heard of the Celluma LITE panel by Biophotas?
https://biophotas.com/product/celluma-lite/
It is US 995$ , FDA approved and emits blue/red/infrared waves, but I’m having difficulties finding reviews on it and am wondering if the pricepoint is justifiable, especially since it’s nonrefundabe if used even once (it’s supposedly a medical grade device..?)
I happened to stumble upon a beauty youtuber’s review of it (Nikki Deroest raves about it), but can’t seem to find any other unsponsored reviews.
I have rosacea subtype 1 with permanent redness as well as moderate hormonal acne typically appearing on my chin and sometimes t-zone, so I think i would benefit from a full-face device that emits both blue and red.
I am willing to invest in a quality machine but would like some kind of comparative review on this…how well it’s actually worked for people and if there are cheaper yet just as effective models out there.
Thanks!
June 17, 2018
I am not familiar with this specific device, but it seems over priced to me. I think that the price has to do with the unique build of this one, with the fancy Facial Rests to help you lie down when you use it.
For less than half the price you can try a LED light therapy mask, which will include both colors – red, blue and more – and see if it works for you – first.
I would recommend either the Aduro LED mask (review here – https://www.infrared-light-therapy.com/aduro-led-mask/) or the Project E Beauty LED mask (review here – https://www.infrared-light-therapy.com/project-e-beauty-led-face-mask-review/). I hope this helps, though it’s just my opinion…
June 18, 2018
Does anybody know sthg about Perfectio? Why is it so expensive? Is it much better than other products?
Best regards

Hi!
Thank you for the wonderful article!
I have purchased the Aduro LED mask with your recommendation and have been using it daily for a week now. However, I have several questions and would like your advice.
Does the LED treat ice pick scars? For blue light or red light?
Also, I realized that my skin becomes relatively dry and tight after 2 light sessions (1 blue and 1 red) – what routine do you recommend? I typically apply an essence or the Cetaphil moisturizer. Also, do antioxidant products such as green tea serums and vitamin C serums work?
Btw, I posted this before but it didn’t appear. Hopefully this goes through!
July 2, 2018
Emily,
Yes, red light therapy can help with any type of scars. for scars use the red light.
As for skin dryness after treatments, I just use a lot of coconut oil or castor oil mixed with some coconut oil, but you can use any moisturizer you like.
Yes, green tea is proven to enhance red light treatment if you use it either internally (by drinking it every day) or applying it (after soaking it in hot water) directly on your skin for about 30 minutes before treatments. Just clean your skin before the LLLT treatment.
I hope this helps and good luck!

Hi,
Have you tried or can you give your opinion on the beauty star led mask please, I received it as a birthday present.
Thank you
July 8, 2018
I’m sorry to say that I haven’t tried it or heard of it..but since you have it, why don’t you just try it? :)
July 24, 2018
Hi,
Thank you so much for all your helpful guidance. A few weeks ago I bought a & color LED face and neck mask from Missamy on Amazon. I have a couple of concerns though. The manual is in really bad English and has no diagrams and is really unhelpful. Secondly after a week of use on the lowest setting (which looks like it reads 6.1) I started getting these zapping, electric sensations through the metal plugs that hold the mask away from the face. Like mosquitoes biting me! I now am worried about using it. Are some of the masks cheap cheap variations from China or do you think mine is just faulty? Have you heard about this happening before? I think I will send it back for a refund and buy a different brand. What one do you recommend? I would like the option of 7 colors. I just want to treat wrinkles, enlarged pores, redness and pigmentation issues.
I know I have said a lot!!!! and I thank you in advance for your reply.
Warm regards
Harper

It seems to me that you either got a faulty one or it’s just low quality and didn’t last. To be on the safe side I would recommend the Aduro LED mask, it has even more than 7 colors and is very high quality. You can see my review for it here: https://www.infrared-light-therapy.com/aduro-led-mask/
July 26, 2018
Hi,
It’s the settings you have, the little metal prongs are supposed to give little I call them shocks. My mask has them as well, you just need turn the off. It’s the top buttons feel free to contact me if you need assistance 😁 we have the same remote. Mine is a beauty star brand led mask.
August 26, 2018
Hi! The 7 color mask therapy, does it matter which color go first? or it has to be in order? which color is next to which color? Thank you.
August 26, 2018
You can see on the remote that you can choose any color combination you’d like (see the image). The order for using the colors is not important.
September 21, 2018
Hey I am wondering how do you clean the masks? I don’t know how exactly they are touching the face from the inside or of they are at all, but still I feel you should clean it or whipe it with something on the inside? what can you use for that?
October 3, 2018
You can use any gentle cleaning methods that don’t involve splashing water all over it. I use gentle wipes. I hope this helps.
September 21, 2018
Hello, you refer to the latter two options has having unlimited uses. I’m not sure what it is about the Aduro that does not allow for unlimited uses. Please could you elaborate.
October 3, 2018
The Aduro is unlimited as well. :)
October 11, 2018
The Aduro 7 +1 is 279E on Amazon but site says it can not ship to me in Maryland. When I go the actual website it is $449 plus $83 to ship. Any suggestions on where to get this?
October 12, 2018
Since you went to the official site in Australia the price is in Australian dollars – AUD. You can see the price then is the same. The problem is with the shipping which is expensive. There’s not much I can do about it – but you can use our coupon code LIGHT10 to get the discount we’ve arranged. I hope this helps.
November 13, 2018
hi do you wash your face after use? and can you apply creams? thanks x
