Red Light Therapy Before and After: Real Results from a Real Customer

Red light therapy before and after: one real customer's results

One Customer's Before & After

Nicole, a licensed esthetician, tried the Photira LED Light Therapy Mask and posted her before-and-after photos on Instagram with this caption:

"Results even after 1 use of @photiraskin LED Mask. My acne on my skin has gone down, smile lines are smoother and face is less puffy." — @nicole_wax_prof_lic_esthe

Left is before, right is after. This is one person's experience, shared with permission. She received the mask free. Results vary, and most people should expect gradual changes over several weeks rather than after one session.

What Photira Is Cleared For

Photira is FDA 510(k)-cleared (K254007) for the treatment of wrinkles and mild-to-moderate acne. It is not cleared for puffiness, skin tone or other concerns, so we don't claim those.

What Wavelengths Does the Photira Mask Use?

Mode Wavelength Used for
Red 630 ± 5 nm Wrinkles
Blue 465 ± 5 nm Mild-to-moderate acne
Red + near-infrared 630 ± 5 nm + 850 ± 5 nm Wrinkles

Modes are selectable, one at a time. The mask does not run all three wavelengths simultaneously, and near-infrared does not combine with blue.

How to Use It

  1. Cleanse your face thoroughly.
  2. Put on the mask and choose one mode.
  3. Use for 10 minutes.
  4. Apply your usual serum or moisturizer.
  5. Repeat 3 times per week.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How soon can I expect results?
A: It varies. Use the mask as directed for several weeks before evaluating.

Q: Do I need to use it every day?
A: No. Photira's recommended use is 10 minutes per session, 3 times per week.

Q: Can one mask help with both acne and wrinkles?
A: Photira is cleared for both. Use Blue mode for mild-to-moderate acne and Red or Red + NIR for wrinkles, on separate sessions.
