Which at-home LED mask should I buy?
It's one of the questions we're asked most often in clinic. With so many LED masks now available to buy online, choosing one can feel overwhelming, and it's hard to tell which ones are worth the investment.
Now we have our answer. The newly launched Dermalux LED Face Mask is our pick, bringing the expertise of a trusted professional LED brand into your home, in just 10 minutes per treatment. Here's why we recommend it, and how it fits alongside your treatments at SKINLAB.
How the Dermalux LED Face Mask works
LED light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to support the skin's natural processes, with no UV and no damaging heat. The Dermalux mask combines three wavelengths in a single 10-minute treatment, so there are no settings to choose:
Red light (633nm) is designed to help smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles and support firmness and a more even-looking tone.
Near infrared (830nm) works deeper to support skin repair and renewal, and help reduce visible redness.
Deep near infrared (1072nm) helps revive dull-looking skin and support skin vitality.
The mask has built-in eye guards, it's suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin, and Dermalux recommends using it once a day for the best results.

Why coverage matters
Most at-home LED masks sit directly on the skin. That sounds ideal, but it means each LED only reaches the small patch of skin beneath it, leaving gaps in between. In testing against six competitor LED masks, typical on-the-skin masks covered less than 20% of the face.
Dermalux takes a different approach. Its Off-the-Skin Technology holds the LEDs at an optimised distance from the face, so the light spreads evenly across the skin. The result is 93% face coverage, more than four times that of typical masks, and up to twice the light energy in the same 10 minutes.
In other words, more of your skin gets the benefit of every treatment.

At-home LED or in-clinic LED?
An at-home mask won't replace the power of our in-clinic LED treatments, and it isn't designed to. Professional treatments deliver more light, over a larger area, under the guidance of our team.
What an at-home mask does brilliantly is consistency. LED works best with regular use, and a quick daily treatment at home helps support your skin between appointments, so the results of your in-clinic work last longer and keep building.
Fitting the mask around your treatments
Whether you're having facials, NeoGen, skin boosters, peels or microneedling, we'll guide you on how and when to use your mask, so it works with your treatment plan rather than against it.
For Glow Club and Core Four Club members, it's an excellent way to support and enhance your results between membership treatments, keeping your skin on track all month long.
