LED Mask Before and After: What to Expect

Before and after photos are the first thing many people look for when they consider an LED mask. The truth is that everyone’s skin is different, so the most useful before and after is your own. Here is what to expect from an LED mask, and how to track your progress in a way that actually shows you something.

What to expect

An LED mask is a cosmetic routine tool, not an overnight change. People use it for skin that looks firmer and smoother, softer-looking fine lines, a clearer-looking complexion or a healthy-looking glow, depending on the color they choose. Changes in how skin looks tend to come gradually, and how much you notice depends on your skin, your goals and above all how regularly you use your mask. Results vary from person to person.

Consistency is the real secret

The people who are happiest with their LED mask are almost always the ones who use it regularly. A short routine you keep is worth more than a long session you do once in a while. Pick a moment that already exists in your day, like the evening while you watch TV, and make the mask part of it. Follow the user manual for session times.

How to take your own before and after photos

The mirror is not a good judge: you see your face every day, so gradual changes are easy to miss. Photos fix that, as long as you take them the same way every time.

  1. Same light: stand in the same spot, ideally facing a window in daylight, at the same time of day.
  2. Same angle: one photo from the front and one from each side. Include your neck.
  3. Bare skin: no makeup, no filters, the same camera settings.
  4. Once a week: take a new set every week on the same day.
  5. Compare side by side: put your first photo next to your latest one rather than comparing week to week.

Keep a simple routine log

Next to your photos, note which color you used and on which days. If you are working on several goals, for example red for firmer-looking skin and blue for blemish-prone skin, a log helps you see what you actually did. Our LED mask colors guide explains what each of the 7 colors is used for.

What customers say

Every experience is personal, but here are a few words from Dermalumae™ customers:

  • “My skin is now smoother, and tighter.” (Brittany T.)
  • “I’m on my third week now and it still works great and I’m seeing incredible results!” (Jennifer K.)

These are individual experiences. Your results may be different.

Do not forget the neck in your photos

The neck often shows visible signs of aging as early as the face. Dermalumae™ has 426 LEDs, 270 on the face mask and 156 on a separate neck piece, so if you use it on both, photograph both. More in our face and neck guide, and the full routine is in our how to use guide.

Start your own before and after

The Dermalumae™ LED face and neck mask is cordless (about 1.5 hours per charge), with 7 colors and eye openings so you can read or watch while you use it. It is $149, with free US shipping and a 30-day money back guarantee, so you have time to try it in your own routine.

Individual results vary. Dermalumae™ is a cosmetic device and is not intended to diagnose or treat any condition. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, or take medication that increases light sensitivity, check with your doctor before using any LED device.
