Lumnae LED Mask FAQ

Start on a clean, dry face: no makeup, no SPF, no serum. Put your eye shields on before switching the mask on. For your first session, choose M1 Repairing (660nm red) at Level 1 for 10 minutes. It is the gentlest mode and the best way to introduce your skin to LED.

From week 2, move to the mode that matches your skin goal. Always start at Level 1 and only increase to Level 2 if your skin feels comfortable after 2 to 3 weeks.

3 to 5 sessions a week, 10 minutes each, with one rest day. Results build over time, so consistency over weeks matters more than any single session. Most people notice a difference between week 2 and week 4.

Yes. Makeup, SPF, heavy oils and serums can block the light. A light fragrance-free moisturiser is fine. Apply your serums and actives after the session.

Always start at Level 1 (50%), whatever your skin type. Move to Level 2 from week 3 if your skin is comfortable. For sensitive skin, Level 1 is enough long term. More intensity does not mean faster results: consistency does.

M2 Rejuvenation (590nm yellow + 660nm red) is the mode for dark spots and an uneven-looking tone. Use it at Level 1, 3 to 5 times a week, in the evening.

Essential rule: apply SPF 50+ every morning. In the UAE sun, UV creates new spots faster than any routine can fade them.

M5 Anti-Acne (415nm blue) targets blemish-causing bacteria at the skin surface. Always follow M5 with M1 Repairing (660nm red) in the same session to calm the skin.

If your skin is sensitive or redness-prone, skip M5 and use M2 instead.

M3 Anti-Aging (660nm red + 850nm near-infrared) is the collagen mode. 660nm supports collagen and elastin, while 850nm reaches deeper for plumper, firmer-looking skin. Use it 4 to 5 times a week in the evening. Fine lines usually look softer from week 4, with firmness building over 8 to 12 weeks.

M4 Morning Skincare (590 + 660 + 850nm) runs at the mask's highest irradiance (45 mW/cm²) for circulation, less morning puffiness and an instant glow.

M6 Bedtime Skincare cycles through all four wavelengths: yellow (3 min), red and near-infrared (5 min), then blue (2 min). It is the most complete mode, ideal for multiple skin goals or as a weekly reset.

Yes. The classic combination is M5 followed by M1 in the same session. M4 in the morning and M2 or M3 in the evening also works well.

One rule: do not use M5 (blue) and M2 (yellow) on the same day, especially on darker skin tones.

Yes, with one rule for blue light. Research shows that 415nm blue light can activate a pigmentation pathway (OPN3) in darker skin. If your skin is Fitzpatrick III to VI:

• use M5 at Level 1 only
• always follow M5 with M1 in the same session
• never use M5 and M2 on the same day
• if dark spots are your main goal, focus on M2 and skip M5

M1, M2, M3, M4 and M6 suit all skin tones.

Yes. LED is non-thermal, so it does not create the heat that can trigger flushing. Use M2 at Level 1, 3 to 5 times a week in the evening, and switch to M1 on more reactive days. Avoid M5 (blue light) on reactive skin.

Every treatment is different, so ask your aesthetic practitioner when you can resume using a skincare device. They know your treatment and your skin best.

Check with your doctor first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a light-sensitive condition (such as lupus or porphyria), take photosensitising medication (some antibiotics, diuretics or high-dose retinoids), or have active cancer in the area. The mask emits no UV and no significant heat.

Apply your serum right after the session, then moisturiser. Choose by goal:

• Dark spots: niacinamide (4 to 10%) or stabilised vitamin C
• Fine lines: peptides or hyaluronic acid
• Blemishes: a light, non-comedogenic serum
• Sensitive skin: centella or ceramides

Morning session? Finish with SPF 50+.

Yes, but not on the same evening as your LED session. For example: M3 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, retinol on Tuesday and Thursday. Never apply exfoliants, retinoids or strong vitamin C before a session.

Irradiance (mW/cm²) is the intensity reaching your skin. Dose (J/cm²) is irradiance multiplied by time. The Lumnae mask delivers 22 to 45 mW/cm² depending on the mode, or 13 to 27 J/cm² per 10-minute session, in line with the doses used in published LED skin studies. See the full mode guide.

• Glow: after a few sessions with M4
• Calmer-looking skin: from week 1 to 2 with M2
• Tone and dark spots: from week 3 to 4
• Fine lines and texture: from week 4 to 6 with M3
• Firmness: 8 to 12 weeks of regular use

Take a photo on day 1: changes are gradual and easier to see side by side.

The big advantage of a home mask is consistency: 3 to 5 sessions a week at no extra cost, instead of a monthly clinic visit. Many of our clients combine both, with a clinic treatment every few weeks and their mask in between.

That is normal. 850nm near-infrared is invisible to the eye. In M3 or M4, about half the LEDs look off while working at full power. Point your phone camera at the mask: the camera picks up near-infrared and shows them glowing.
