New LED Mask User (current body) observations and questions

5 replies

foppishdandy · 07/12/2023 15:35

I bought the current body LED mask online in the sale recently and have been using it for about 10 days now. I am mid 40's and my skin is not too awful due to 20 years of prescription tretinoin use (originally for acne) and 25 + years commitment to SPF daily.

I am just using the mask for 10 minutes a day 5 days a week on a clean face as advised. My initial observations is that it does reduce redness in the skin after just a use or two and that any redness including red marks from spots is fading much faster than usual. I can't really comment on hyperpigmentation / brown spots or patches as I don't really suffer from that. I find it easy and relaxing to use I just lie down with it on and sometimes even fall asleep. I suffer from migraine but haven't found the mask to trigger them.

So far I haven't really noticed too much difference in things like fine lines or dark circles. My skin is dryer than it usually is which is making my pores look a bit smaller perhaps but my fine lines a bit worse.

I suppose the reduction in redness is due to the anti-inflammatory effects of the red light and can be fairly quick to show up and that the collagen generation going on will take 4 to 12 weeks to show up on my face where I can see it so I just need to continue using it and I will hopefully see some more substantial results in a few weeks.

It has a 60 day money back guarantee so I am hoping to see improvement before then.

Anyone else have this or another similar mask with the red and the NIR lights? How have you found it? Did you see improvements in your skin over time and did you experience any initial dryness?

Hi @foppishdandy i am considering buying this mask. How are you getting on? Also how much was it in the sale?

@foppishdandy @TheStuffalo do you both have the masks? Do you feel that they are worth the expense? I am thinking of getting the eye one as it's only a few minutes a day.

@Isabelle70 i haven't got one yet!

@TheStuffalo I was having a look around at prices/eBay and found the eye mask discounted on QVC so have ordered one:)

I have a Currentbody one, I like it as it's pretty no fuss to use. However even after a few weeks I didn't notice significant changes to be honest. I think my skin was a bit brighter, but I still had redness around my nose and chin, it didn't do much for that. I'd say my skin looked a bit more glowy, but the results were definitely subtle.

I still like using it though, but I wouldn't expect miracles. I see it more as maintenance.
