LED Face Mask FAQs
What does red light therapy do?
Red light therapy is a non-invasive skincare treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to support the skin's natural renewal process. It works through a process called photobiomodulation, where light energy is absorbed into the deeper layers of the skin to help address visible signs of aging, uneven tone, and texture over time.
With consistent use, red light therapy is commonly associated with benefits like reduced appearance of fine lines, firmer-looking skin, and a more even, radiant complexion, all without chemicals or downtime.

What is blue light therapy?
Blue light therapy is a non-invasive, chemical-free treatment that targets acne-causing bacteria beneath the skin's surface to reduce breakouts and clear complexion. Unlike topical treatments, it works at the source without harsh ingredients.
In the Shark CryoGlow™, the Skin Clearing Treatment is an 8-minute Blue, Infrared, and Red LED session to reduce acne and redness for a more even and clear complexion.
It's clinically tested: results from a 12-week clinical study with 59 subjects showed clearer skin and reduced acne and breakouts in 4 weeks with once-daily use. Individual results may vary.
Can I open my eyes when using the facial mask?
Yes, the intensity of the LEDs is safe for eyes (tested to recognised safety standards and are compliant with such requirements). This mask also includes the auto-dim and eye shielding features for user comfort.
It's fine to have your eyes open or closed while using the facial mask, whatever feels more comfortable - it won't affect the performance of the mask.
Do not stare at the light source.
Does the Shark LED face mask have a timer?
Yes! Each LED mode runs for a different amount of time, either 4, 6 or 8 minutes.
The remote will display a countdown timer, and the LEDs and/or Under-Eye Cooling will automatically shut off at the end of your session.
If cooling was in use, fans will continue to run for 60 seconds after the end of the session.
