The Rising Star of Non-Invasive Skincare

LED Face masks are quickly becoming one of the most trusted at-home treatments for healthier, clearer skin. But what exactly do they do — and how do they work?

In this guide, we’ll break down the science behind red light therapy and how devices like the Ulike ReGlow LED Light Therapy Mask use clinically proven wavelengths to visibly improve skin tone, texture, and overall radiance. Designed for home use and backed by research, ReGlow combines LED power, ergonomic comfort, and professional precision to bring salon-like skincare to your daily routine.

Whether you’re targeting fine lines, dullness, or breakouts, we’ll walk you through what to expect and how to get the most out of every session.

The Science: How Red Light Therapy Works

LED Face masks masks work by delivering specific wavelengths of therapeutic light directly to your skin. Here's what happens when you use a high-performance mask like Ulike ReGlow.

Light Penetration The mask's LEDs emit precise wavelengths, measured in nanometers (nm), that penetrate different layers of skin:

Epidermis (surface layer)
Dermis (middle layer containing collagen)
Hypodermis (deepest layer)

Cellular Activation When these wavelengths are absorbed by your skin cells, they trigger different processes:

Red light (630nm) activates cellular energy (boosts ATP production).¹
Blue light (465nm) controls oil production and eliminates acne-causing bacteria.
Yellow light (590nm) soothes irritation and brightens skin tone.
Near-infrared (830nm) enhances metabolism and promotes healing while reducing inflammation.

Visible Results With regular use, these processes lead to: ✔ Increased collagen and elastin production ✔ Reduced inflammation and redness ✔ Improved blood circulation ✔ Accelerated skin repair

FAQ: Top Questions About ReGlow Red Light Therapy

Q: How often should I use the mask?

A: For the first 2 weeks, use 6–7 times per week for intensive treatment. Then transition to 3–6 sessions weekly.

Q: Can I use the mask every day?

A: Allow your skin to adjust to the device before committing to daily use. Once your skin adjusts, you may increase to daily use. Always listen to your skin and reduce frequency if irritation occurs. Do not use the device for more than 26 minutes a day.

Q: Can I use skincare products with it?

A: Yes. Apply serums after treatment for better absorption.

Q: Is it safe for sensitive skin?

A: Yes. Start with 5-minute sessions and increase gradually.

Q: Why does my skin feel dry/tight after use?

A: LED therapy may cause mild surface dehydration. Using a gentle cleanser before a session and following up with a rich moisturizer after a session can help keep your skin hydrated.
