A checklist for choosing any LED face mask
Print it, fill it in for each mask you are considering, and mark every blank. A blank is information too. This works for any brand, ours included.
- Light modes and wavelengths. Which nanometer values are used, how many modes there are and how you switch between them.
- Fit and comfort. Check the material, how it sits on your face, whether it is hands free and whether the strap or fit works for you.
- Session length and timer. The recommended session time, whether there is a built in timer and whether it shuts off on its own.
- Power and charging. Whether it is rechargeable or plugged in, the charging type and how long a charge lasts, in writing.
- Eye protection. What the maker says about keeping your eyes closed or shielded during use.
- What the maker says about regulatory status. Ask which exact model any clearance applies to and what limited use it covers. Be cautious about wording that is vague or applies to a whole product line.
- Warranty. Length in years, who stands behind it and how to register.
- Returns and shipping. Number of days, who pays return shipping, whether there is a restocking fee and where the company ships.
- Support. Where the company is based and how to reach a real person.
