REVIEW – Today’s review is something that I have to admit was something that I’ve viewed with some degree of skepticism in the past. Red light therapy seems to be popping up all over and even has taken the place of tanning rooms at the gym. I honestly hadn’t given it much thought and it initially seemed like just another fad, but looking into some of the studies that have been published, it appears that there may be something there. Now, this isn’t a research paper, this is a gadget review! Enter the RENPHO Artemis LED Light Therapy Mask. Curious to see how this actually works? Read on!

Design and features

This light mask is a flexible and portable unit that you can use pretty much anywhere. That being said, it does look a little odd when you’re using it. It does give off vibes of the man in the iron mask a bit, so you might get some odd looks if you use it out and about, but it is very portable and can be easily put in a bag and taken with you.

The light mask itself is flexible and can be adjusted to fit just about any face. There are removeable eye cups for easy cleaning. The control unit connects to the mask with an included USB A to USB C cable and can be comfortably be held and operated with one hand.

The LEDs themselves operate at 3 different wavelengths: Red (630 nm), Blue (470 nm), and near-infrared (850 nm). For therapeutic benefit, you can use multiple combinations of the different colors at the same time. The blue light benefit targets acne and bacteria while the near-infrared targets deeper inflammation and redness. The red light is supposed to help with collagen production and reduce wrinkles and fine lines.

Setup

Setup consists of charging the control unit with the USB C port located at the bottom of the unit.

Performance

Like I said at the beginning, I was skeptical. After use, though, it really does seem to have an effect. Both my wife and daughter have noted that the blue and near-infrared light in particular seems to be helping to alleviate inflammation and acne. It’s not an immediate fix, but over time it definitely is showing improvements.

Final thoughts

While it does look a bit funny, this seems to be working and the studies behind the usage of light therapy seem to be holding up. In reading further, it does appear that you need to be careful with the quality and certifications on gadgets like this. This mask meets the mark on both the light frequencies it uses as well as the FDA compliance. If you’re in the market, I definitely think that you should consider this mask.
