FAQ AND MASK TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
HOW TO USE FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS-
HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO USE THIS FOR RESULTS?
You only need to use the mask for ten-minutes a day, 3 to 5 times a week, for results. It has been proven effective with this usage. One session lasts for ten minutes. The mask will time your ten-minute session and will turn off automatically when the GLOWSESSION™ is over. You have the option to double up and do a second session, if desired, but do not use for more than 20-minutes a day!
WHAT SETTING DO I USE? THERE ARE SO MANY COLORS!
We recommend doing the red+ infrared setting as a main part of your weekly treatments. Then, spot treat as needed, with another color that correlates to your other texture or pigment concern, if wanted.
Of course, if you have things like mild to moderate acne going on - and you are looking to clear it, blue light should be used quite often (instead of the red) until cleared). Try using a little red + infrared at during the breakout to help heal and rejuvenate, if desired. Sometimes even adding cyan a few times into the mix can help. But see what works for you! But remember blue is proven for acne! Red + infrared is proven to treat wrinkles.
Note: It is not necessary to do a double session for results, however, for personal and individual results- you may find it works well to layer in the other colors, as needed and desired. They can tend to help the more surface layers of the skin while the red and infrared go heal deeper.
Tip: We do recommend to stick to one color only, during the full ten-minute session.
See what works best for you. You may play around with some of the colors to see what results you have best in using them. Remembering red + infrared for powerhouse anti-aging and to be used for the most part, quite often.
WHAT COLORS ARE USED MOST OFTEN?
Colors that are used most often are red & infrared (main collagen building and anti-aging and healing. Clinically proven to reduce wrinkles). Also blue (acne).
Others are green (hyperpigmentation and redness). Also yellow or amber.
But, the other colors may also work very well for certain spot treatments and to help pigmentation issues, soothe and repair the skin, also.
We love our cyan color very much as it's very close to blue in the wavelength-- but goes down a bit deeper down, so it targets also texture, soothes inflamed skin, and can help decrease the appearance of pore size. White is known to be healing and help with Illumination. Purple offers great benefits for puffiness, but it's positioned at the end of the spectrum alongside UV-a light at 400 nm +-5, the shortest wavelength. Thus, it's recommended to use this less frequently as a precaution. Note that this is far from the harmful UV-b or UV-C rays.
Read about the colors on the website and in the manual and the quick start guide that you will receive when you purchase and receive the mask. Chose what correlates with what you have going on in your skin. Adjust as needed.
Some weeks, you may feel you want to use the mask or a certain color more often to address your skin concerns that week, (say for example acne pops up so you need extra blue light. Or your skin may be going through a change while you use a certain product --so you find you may want to help repair and soothe it with more red + infrared, and also green and or cyan). Or maybe some weeks you want to use the mask less, sometimes more. Listening to your skin and adjusting use as needed to get best results is key and can be very individual. ✨But remember, consistency is key for LED therapy, so stick to the recommended use of at least 3 to 5 times a week, just ten-minutes a day as a guideline, and adjust as needed. ⚡️But never use more than 20 minutes a day!
We recommend to use for 30 to 90 days for results, and then make adjustments as needed. Results may vary. Make adjustments along the way for individual best results.✨
WHAT DO I DO TO PREP MY SKIN BEFORE USING?
Do not use the mask with makeup, oils, or suncreens on as it can effect the effectiveness.
To use the mask, simply clean and dry your face. No makeup. No sunscreen. For the most part, save your other skincare steps to use after the mask’s GLOWSESSION treatment is over.
You may opt to use a lightweight lotion before the mask if you feel extra dry after washing your face. That is totally fine! Just no heavy creams, no oils, and no shaving before the LED mask or no retinol right before! Think lightweight, gentle products if you use anything before the mask treatment besides facewash.
⛔️A note about retinol and shaving before use: Retinol can make you sensitive to the sun and when you have a sun sensitivity from medicine, or topicals, or just in general, it’s better to avoid using the beauty LED mask until you are less sensitive (as an extra precaution). Some people have used retinol while using the mask and have no problems, but some people could experience more sensitivity and could have irritation or a reaction. To avoid this, and erring on the side of extra caution, we may suggest you stop use of the mask for a while when using strong retinoids. You may always consult your doctor or dermatologist for the proper use and best skincare advice. If you use retinol and still opt to use the mask, we suggest to not use retinol right before the mask or on the same day before the mask. Do not shave right before also as a precaution. If you opt to use retinol do 2-3 days before using the mask, as a precaution. But still we suggest to use caution and wait more days like 5-7 days.
