Have you seen ads for a light mask?

Supposedly, a light mask may work, according to the ads, Would you buy one?

Never heard of them

These were reviewed on a BBC programme called 'Sliced bread'. The conclusions were that they MAY do some good, but there was no firm evidence that they were effective. If used properly, they should be safe, but could end up costing a lot for little benefit.

Don’t know about light masks, but I have a soft heated eye mask for soothing tired eyes.

Wondering: what is light "therapy" supposed to do anyway? I know I'd be happier if we had street lights out here in the middle of nowhere, but don't think a mask'll do the job.

The beauty syndicate has been promoting this for a while now. Any number of "medical spas" offer "multi-spectrum LED facial" treatments.

LED Light therapy is a skincare treatment that uses different colored LED lights to address aging and acneic skin. This treatment can be performed as a standalone service or can be added to other services offered. Adding LED Light therapy to a facial treatment is an amazing combination to boost collagen and improve the skin’s health. Benefits include anti-aging, as well as reducing redness, acne, and inflammation in the skin. Different colors of light are used to treat different conditions. The light is safe and does not contain UV rays. There is no harm, only benefits to using these lights.

This just sounds like a down-market "home game" edition of the same thing or something similar. It probably works just as well.

I wonder if it makes you run faster and jump higher too?

There seems to be no end to cosmetic quackery, and the rubes line up for it trying to escape their aging:

Exfoliate, extract, and infuse your skin with DiamondGlow™ Dermalinfusion. You can enjoy this treatment on your face and body. Noticeable results, minimal down time.

I'd be too embarrassed to wear one. Wearing one makes you look like a weirdo. Advertisers trying to convince us it doesn't is laughable.

What's that for, Halloween?

There are similarities.

Supposedly, it removes wrinkles blemishes, etc. And of course, it gives you a "youthful glow".

I know nothing about skin repair but . I believe I stated earlier [over a year ago] that I went to a spine, and neuropathy center a few years back. They used red light and infrared light, along with low level laser .

As well as chiropractic care.

For my spine, and my neuropathy it did nothing. The 'program' was for three months , three times p/week . Well I lasted two months, and @ $1900 p/month I decided two was enough. Particularly since [after] the two months I felt absolutely no difference/no change.

If I would have noticed even just the slightest change toward the positive, I would have stuck with it, .......... but nothing.

It works? Well, let's see: Does it cover your face? <check> Does it look kind of strange? <check> What else does it do?

 

[JustDave]

This question could have been something to discuss in the "Influencer" thread.

 

[JustDave]

Oh wait! A youthful glow? Hmmm. Yes, yes. Count me in.
