Who should not use the Elite Face Mask?Updated 19 days ago

The mask is a general wellness device. Red light therapy contains no UV light and has a very good safety profile, but check with your doctor before you start, especially if you:

  • are pregnant
  • have an implanted medical device
  • have an overactive thyroid
  • have epilepsy or a history of seizures (don't use pulsing)
  • are sensitive to light from a condition such as lupus or from a medication
  • have confirmed or suspected skin cancer
  • have an eye condition or a hereditary eye disease

Wait until you've recovered before using it on open wounds, skin lesions, infections or sunburn.

Darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV to VI): you may feel a little more warmth. In very rare cases, near-infrared light has been suggested to cause hyperpigmentation; this hasn't been confirmed, but if it's a concern, check with your dermatologist first.

Every session: wear the silicone eye covers and keep your eyes closed. Stop if you feel discomfort. Keep cables away from children.
