How frequently should I use the mask?
We recommend conducting 10-minute sessions, 3 to 5 times per week, for an initial period of 4 to 6 weeks. Following this, you may transition to maintenance sessions at a frequency that aligns with your desired results and skin care goals.
How long will it take to see results?
Some users notice improved skin texture and a glowing complexion after just a few sessions, but for significant changes like reduced wrinkles and fine lines, it may take 4-6 weeks of regular use.
How do I clean the Face Mask?
Wipe the mask with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove any oils or residue. Avoid harsh chemicals or water immersion. Ensure the mask is fully dry before storing.
Can anyone use the Somerna Glow LED Face Mask?
Red light therapy masks are generally safe and effective for many users, but there are some people who should avoid using them:
- Pregnant or Nursing Women: While there is limited research on the effects of red light therapy during pregnancy or breastfeeding, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare provider before use.
- Individuals with Photosensitivity: If you have conditions like lupus, porphyria, or other skin disorders that cause sensitivity to light, red light therapy may exacerbate these conditions. Additionally, people taking medications that increase photosensitivity, such as certain antibiotics, acne treatments, or chemotherapy drugs, should avoid use.
- People with Eye Conditions: Direct exposure to red or near-infrared light could potentially affect the eyes. Even though most masks come with built-in eye protection, individuals with serious eye conditions or those recovering from eye surgery should avoid use unless cleared by a doctor.
- Those with Active Skin Infections or Severe Acne: If you have an active skin infection or open sores, red light therapy may not be appropriate as it could irritate the skin or slow healing.
- Individuals with a History of Seizures: If you have a history of photosensitive epilepsy, exposure to flashing or pulsing light (sometimes found in certain LED masks) may trigger seizures.
- People with Pacemakers or Implanted Devices: If you have a pacemaker or other electronic implants, consult with your healthcare provider before using a red light therapy mask, as there may be concerns about electromagnetic interference.
Always consult a healthcare provider before starting any new therapy, especially if you have underlying health conditions or concerns.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are rare, but some users may experience mild redness or irritation after the first few uses. If irritation persists, reduce the frequency of use or consult a dermatologist.
Can I use the mask with other skincare products?
Yes, you can use the mask alongside most skincare products. However, it’s best to use it on clean, dry skin. If applying products beforehand, opt for light serums that won’t block the light from penetrating your skin.
