The Vanessa Megan The Butterfly Effect Medical-Grade Silicone LED Face Mask is an at-home LED light therapy device that uses four wavelengths of light to target the appearance of fine lines, uneven tone, congestion and dullness. This is the NIR Edition, the current generation of the mask, with 240 LED chips set one per bead so each wavelength reaches the skin pure rather than blended.

The mask emits 20 to 30mW/cm2, low enough to allow a 20 minute session without the risk of heat-induced melasma. The near-infrared setting is controlled independently, so it can run on its own or at the same time as any of the other three colours. The body is made from flexible medical-grade silicone that sits flush against the contours of the face, keeping the LEDs close to the skin and the fit comfortable while you move around.

The four wavelengths:

• Red (630nm), anti-ageing: improves cell activity, speeds metabolism and promotes collagen formation, helping increase elasticity, tighten the look of the skin and refine the appearance of pores.
• Blue (460nm), clarity: targets the appearance of breakouts, blemish marks and pigmentation while helping calm the look of congested skin. Blue is the one setting capped at 10 minutes.
• Yellow (590nm), even skin tone: balances skin texture and stimulates red blood cell activity to reduce the look of redness and soften the appearance of fine lines.
• Near-infrared (850nm), deep repair: penetrates further than visible light to support circulation and skin moisture levels, for a firmer, smoother look. New to this generation of the mask.

Maximum session time is 10 minutes on blue light and 20 minutes on every other colour. Vanessa Megan recommends five sessions a week with a minimum of 24 hours between them while you are working on a specific concern, easing back once your skin has settled. LED light therapy is non-invasive, involves no downtime and suits most skin types, and results build with continued use.

This is the face mask only. The neck and décolletage mask is available separately.
