2. CAN I USE MY OWN SKINCARE WITH MY FAQ™ 200 LED MASK?

We recommend using FAQ™ primer with the FAQ™ 200 LED Mask due to its potent anti-aging properties. But you can use your own skincare instead, if desired. However, make sure the skincare products you use don’t contain any silicones or acids, or photosensitive ingredients such as Vitamin A, Retinol, AHAs, Benzoyl Peroxide and Vitamin C.

3. HOW OFTEN CAN I USE MY FAQ™ 200 LED MASK?

We recommend using your FAQ™ LED Mask for 5-15 minutes, 3-5 times per week for optimal results.

4. WHAT IS LED THERAPY?

LED, or light emitting diode, therapy is a skincare treatment that uses varying wavelengths of light. NASA originally developed it for plant growth experiments on shuttle missions and later found it to have promise for wound treatment. LED light therapy is now used by aestheticians to help regenerate the skin from aging.

5. IS LED THERAPY SAFE?

Unlike other types of light therapy, LEDs do not contain ultraviolet rays. Therefore, they’re safe for regular use. LED light therapy also doesn’t cause burns like other anti-aging treatments such as chemical peels, dermabrasion, and laser therapy.
