00:00:00.607 --> 00:00:02.705
Thinking about a red light mask?

00:00:03.004 --> 00:00:05.702
Before you compare the number of LEDs, find

00:00:05.615 --> 00:00:08.646
three things: the skin concern it is intended

00:00:08.559 --> 00:00:11.416
for, the exact instructions and whether you can

00:00:11.330 --> 00:00:13.148
follow that routine consistently.

00:00:13.928 --> 00:00:17.079
Red light therapy uses red or near infrared

00:00:16.992 --> 00:00:20.449
light. Different devices deliver different exposures.

00:00:20.775 --> 00:00:23.539
Copying the session length from someone else’s panel

00:00:23.453 --> 00:00:25.497
does not mean your mask will deliver the

00:00:25.397 --> 00:00:26.523
same treatment.

00:00:27.289 --> 00:00:30.453
Read the directions for clean skin, treatment time,

00:00:30.633 --> 00:00:32.624
frequency and eye protection.

00:00:32.951 --> 00:00:35.462
Keep the device’s own instructions together with your

00:00:35.375 --> 00:00:38.552
skincare plan, especially if you use products or

00:00:38.465 --> 00:00:41.003
medicines that increase light sensitivity.

00:00:41.773 --> 00:00:44.790
For some skin concerns, red light can be

00:00:44.703 --> 00:00:46.548
one part of a wider routine.

00:00:46.861 --> 00:00:49.199
It is not a substitute for sun protection.

00:00:49.512 --> 00:00:51.530
Decide what you want to assess, such as

00:00:51.443 --> 00:00:54.181
the appearance of fine lines, before judging the

00:00:54.081 --> 00:00:54.727
result.

00:00:55.486 --> 00:00:58.970
Take comparison photos with the same lighting, angle

00:00:59.029 --> 00:01:02.180
and expression. A brighter lamp or a smoothing

00:01:02.093 --> 00:01:04.351
filter can change the picture more than the

00:01:04.264 --> 00:01:07.961
skin. Record the device and the sessions alongside

00:01:07.874 --> 00:01:08.720
your photos.

00:01:09.487 --> 00:01:12.038
The article below gives you a device checklist

00:01:12.244 --> 00:01:13.903
and a simple tracking plan.

00:01:14.202 --> 00:01:17.273
Use the manufacturer’s settings, protect your eyes as

00:01:17.186 --> 00:01:19.724
directed, and make the purchase decision around a

00:01:19.637 --> 00:01:21.908
routine you can actually keep.
