Illumia 7+1 colour LED face mask
The Illumia face mask is a wearable LED face mask that provides a non-invasive
LED light cosmetic treatment designed to help promote skin rejuvenation,
reduce the appearance of pigmentation, wrinkles and acne. The Illumia face
mask is designed to deliver light directly to the skin, ensuring maximum
exposure with a choice of light in 7 different colours plus the infrared
region of the light spectrum for the targeted action you want. With its
lightweight, flexible design and rechargeable batteries, the Illumia face mask
gives you the freedom to be mobile – allowing you to relax and complete your
skincare treatments on a regular basis from the comfort of your own home.
How Does LED Light Therapy Work?
LED therapy uses light at specific wavelengths that penetrate the skin’s
surface without harming it. The light triggers natural chemical reactions in
your skin cells that help the skin rejuvenate and heal.

Product description
The Illumia face mask consists of a flexible silicon mask containing 66 light-
emitting diodes (LEDs), and controller.
The mask is worn over the face and is held in place by adjustable straps –
allowing the LEDs to deliver light directly to your skin, ensuring maximum
exposure with your choice of light. The controller switches the LEDs ON/OFF
and contains a rechargeable battery. The required LED light modes are chosen
via the controller.

How to use the Illumia face mask
The Illumia face mask can be used when it is plugged into either the
rechargeable battery or a mains outlet if the battery is not charged.
Charging the battery
Before use it is important to fully charge the Illumia face mask battery. To
charge the battery:
- Insert the micro-USB cable into the controller.
- Insert the USB connector into the USB port of the power supply.
- Insert the power supply into a suitably grounded outlet and switch on.
- When fully charged the battery light indicator on the controller will change from red to green.
- When the battery is fully charged the mask can be used approximately 8 times (8 x 10 minute sessions).
Using the Illumia face mask Instructions for use:
- Before starting the treatment, thoroughly cleanse your skin, remove all make-up and any cosmetics that may contain reflective materials.
- Make sure the Illumia face mask is plugged into either the rechargeable battery or into a mains outlet.
- Feed the velcro straps through the inlet holes located at the sides of the mask, making sure the velcro can be stuck to the back of the straps.
- You are now ready to start – place the device over your face (with the light diodes next to your skin) and secure in position with the velcro straps, making sure the mask sits comforatably on your face.
- To turn the Illumia face mask on, push the ON/OFF button for 1-2 seconds on the controller (and push again to turn it off if required).
- Select the desired light mode on the controller – simply push the mode button to cycle through the 11 modes to the desired treatment. Do not look directly into the light source when in operation. The Illumia face mask is designed to be used for a maximum of 10 minutes a day. All eleven treatments are timed to shut down after 10 minutes.
- When you are finished, clean the Illumia face mask with a water-based wipe or a damp clean cloth. Do not clean while the device is charging.
Caution: If you switch between colours/modes during a session the timer
will restart at 10 minutes. Over treating is not
advised, as the treatment will be ineffective.
Caution: Although there are eye holes that allow the user to see through
the face mask – users are required to wear the eyewear provided at all times
when using the face mask – do not look directly into the light source.
Cotton wool pads can be used underneath the eyewear for extra comfort during
the treatment.
Treatment recommendations
- For best results we recommend 3-5 x 10 minute treatments per week (with 2 days rest) for a minimum of 12 weeks.
- Maintenance treatments can then be carried out as required once the desired results are achieved.
Light sensitivity test
You must follow the instructions below before your first treatment session to
see if you are light sensitive:
- Secure the Illumia face mask to your face, allowing the LEDs to deliver light directly to your skin.
- Turn the Illumia face mask on (see instructions on page 11) – and wear for 5 minutes. At any time if your skin feels HOT or uncomfortable STOP using the device immediately.
- Wait for 24 hours.
- If you experience pain, discomfort or redness that lasts for more than
2 hours you might be light sensitive. Please consult a doctor for advice.
Care and maintenance
Cleaning:
The Illumia face mask should be cleaned after each use. Although the Illumia
face mask is splash resistant, it should not be submerged in liquid.
Make sure the Illumia face mask is unplugged and turned off. Then use a damp,
soft cloth with a mild alcohol-free cleaning detergent to clean the facial
area. Repeat until the mask is clean and then dry with a clean dry cloth. Do
not use alcohol or harsh chemicals or any acidic cleaning materials to clean
the Illumia face mask as these may damage the mask and affect how it works.
Storage and handling:
Take care when storing your Illumia face mask. We recommend storing the face
mask FLAT in the protective box provided or on a clean, dry, flat surface when
not in use. Never bend the Illumia face mask where the silicon mask meets the
cable – this may damage your mask and void your warranty. Always adjust your
face mask using the head straps, never the cord that connects the mask to the
controller. Avoid tugging, pulling or bending the cord that connects the face
mask to the controller.
Disposal: Do not dispose of any part of the Illumia face mask at a
domestic waste facility.
This device should be disposed of at an appropriate collection site according
to national or local regulations – not in household waste.
Troubleshooting
- The Illumia face mask does not come on: Please check that all the plugs are inserted properly; the battery is charged or plugged into the mains.
- The Illumia face mask seems to flicker: Please check that all the plugs are inserted properly.
- The Illumia face mask is hot: This is normal; the face mask becomes hot during a treatment that is designed to open the pores of the skin. If the face mask becomes too hot, please turn off and wait for it to cool down.
If the actions suggested fail to fix the problem, or the problem reoccurs, and your device is within the warranty period, please return to your provider. Do not attempt to investigate any further or modify the device in any way. The Illumia face mask has NO parts you can repair yourself.
