Why I Choose Red Light Box over a Red Light Face Mask
Why Your Red Light Face Mask Might Be Holding You Back (And What to Use Instead)
Red light therapy has taken the skincare world by storm, promising glowing skin, reduced wrinkles, and even faster healing. But before you settle for just any device, let’s talk about a little-known issue lurking in some popular red light face masks: blue light exposure.
The Hidden Blue Light Problem
Did you know some red light face masks actually contain blue light? Yikes.
According to a study published on PubMed, blue light has been shown to increase hyperpigmentation in more melanated skin. And if that’s not enough, another study found that blue light exposure depletes key antioxidants that protect the skin from sun damage. That means instead of fighting aging and discoloration, your red light mask could actually be making things worse.
The Power Problem: Not All Red Light Devices Are Created Equal
Beyond the blue light issue, face masks tend to have much lower irradiance than high-quality red light therapy devices. Translation? They don’t penetrate deep enough to help beyond surface-level skin. So if you’re looking for benefits like collagen production, deeper tissue healing, or even pain relief, a face mask isn’t going to cut it.
That’s where LUMEBOX changes the game.
Why LUMEBOX is the MVP of Red Light Therapy
Unlike face masks, LUMEBOX is powerful enough for full-body use—and it’s actually been put to the test. (Did you see my post about how it drastically cut down my husband’s healing time when he tore his Achilles?! Insane.)
Here’s why it’s a game-changer:
✅ Only 5 minutes a day for clinically-backed skin benefits
✅ Portable & easy to use (no more sitting like a statue with a face mask on)
✅ FDA registered & third-party tested for safety, irradiance, and EMF levels
✅ Low EMF exposure (because no one needs extra radiation in their life)
✅ Red + Near-Infrared Light (NIR) for deeper healing benefits
✅ Covers more surface area than most portable devices
✅ HSA/FSA eligible—yes, you can use your health savings account on this!
Face Mask vs. LUMEBOX: The Verdict
If your goal is just skincare, a red light face mask might work—eventually. But you’ll need longer sessions to see the same benefits that LUMEBOX delivers in just 5 minutes a day. And if you want more than just skin-deep benefits, like faster muscle recovery, pain relief, and deeper cellular healing, the choice is clear.
Bottom line? Ditch the limitations of face masks and invest in a versatile, powerful red light device that gives you more bang for your buck (and your skin).
