Tips for Using Your PBM Mask

​

1. Prepare Your Skin for Treatment

• Cleanse your face: Start with a clean, dry face to ensure the light penetrates effectively.

• Do not apply strong actives such as enzymes, acids or retinols right before using device. Bare skin is best if you do not have a serum specifically designed to be used with the device such as:

  • DermaQuest Advanced B5 Serum:Deep dermal hydration with multi molecular weight hyaluronic acid, plumps skin while attracting up to 1000x its weight in water to optimize all cellular functions

  • Maysama Green Rooibos Pressed Serum:This serum is antioxidant-rich and works synergistically with light therapy. It helps protect the skin from oxidative stress, enhances hydration, and improves overall skin health. 

• Wait a few minutes to allow the serum to absorb before putting on the mask.

​​

We carry the above serums that are great matches and safe for PBM therapy. If you are unsure if your serum is appropriate, please reach out and we can help you.

2. Choose the Right Light Setting

• Start with the lower light intensity for the first few uses to let your skin acclimate, then gradually move to a higher level if needed.

• Red Light (Anti-Aging & Rejuvenation): Ideal for stimulating collagen production, reducing fine lines, and improving skin elasticity.

• Blue Light (Acne & Blemishes): Targets acne-causing bacteria, helping to clear breakouts and reduce inflammation.

• Amber Light (Brightening & Sensitivity): Helps with reducing redness, improving skin tone, and brightening the complexion.

• Near-Infrared (NIR) Light (Deep Tissue Rejuvenation): Penetrates deeper into the skin, assisting with healing, reducing inflammation, and promoting cell renewal. Limit use of NIR if you have Melasma concerns.

• You can do more than one wavelength per session if you want! Just switch the wavelength over after 7-10 mins.

​

3. Timing

• Most treatments should last between 10-20 minutes per session, longer than suggested times are not necessary nor more beneficial. 

• Start with shorter times and gradually increase them over a couple of weeks.

• The built-in timer will beep when the session is complete.

• Use the mask minimum 3-5 times a week for optimal results - daily use is absolutely fine.

​​

4. Stay Comfortable

• The cordless design allows you to move freely during use - sit back, relax, or multitask while enjoying your treatment.

  • We love to pop on a guided meditation to enjoy with our treatment.

  • If you want to move around, we suggest a waist belt to hold the remote securely while you perform other tasks. 

• Use the removable eye shields for added comfort if you’re sensitive to light or need to protect your eyes or pop them out and close your eyes while you relax. 

​

5. After Your PBM Treatment

• Follow up with your favorite moisturizer to lock in hydration.

• Always apply SPF during the day, as PBM therapy may make your skin more photosensitive.

Keeping your Device Clean and Sanitized

After Each Use

• Use a soft, damp cloth to gently clean the mask.

• Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the unit.

Sanitize Weekly

• Use a 70% isopropyl alcohol sprayed onto a damp soft cloth to wipe the inside of the mask

• Eye shields can be removed and cleansed with a mild soap and water.

Store Properly

• Keep the mask in a clean, dry place, preferably in its original packaging or a dust-free storage bag.

Avoid Water Contact

• The mask is not waterproof; ensure no water enters the components while cleaning.
