Does anyone use one?  If so, what brand and were you happy with results?

I purchased one by Dennis Gross when Nordstrom had Aug sale. 

I cannot report on results on way or another--too early.

I used a CurrentBody Red Light Therapy Mask last year and used it faithfully for many months.  At first, i was all GungHo, even doing an AM and PM treatment on the same day now and then, hoping to hurry things along.  i thought I was looking refreshed but I eventually gave up because the time commitment became too much for me,  Honestly, it was vanity that made me want it.  I regret buying it.  The same thing goes for the lip device I bought from the same company.  Nowadays it's skincare and makeup only.  What you see is what you get.

I use CurrentBody's mask everyday. It helps reduce redness for me. That's mostly why I use it. CB's mask is red-light only.

   I use OmniLux face and neck masks. There seems to be some decent science behind them and many people "in the know" use them.

 I don't see any huge miraculous results, maybe a clearer complexion, but I look at myself everyday and wouldn't really notice changes too much.

 I find they're easy and relaxing to use so I'm using them hoping they make a little difference in my aging.

 Warning, they're expensive! I bought them a year apart as a birthday present to myself. I figure it's cheaper than a lot of professional treatments.

   Oh, also I've been using the face one for 2 years and the neck one for 1 year. Before that I was using the handheld LightStim (that one was a pain to use).

I use them 5-6 times a week.

Much like @GingerHead I use the Omnilux for face. I have been using daily for more than 6 months and do not see any big changes. I currently use maybe 5 x week because I am busier now.

I am not sorry I bought one, because I really wanted to see what it would do. I have added a few more tropicals and all in all, I am happy with my skin. Do I look 10 years younger than when I started? Nope.

I also bought an rlt for hair growth and am seeing new hair growth. Took 6-7 months, but I definitely see improved hair growth.

So, I think the technology works for face and hair growth...but your mileage may vary.

   I use an LED red light/blue light mask by the brand QURE and I absolutely LOVE it and I also have a great handheld red/blue light device.   I've been using my QURE mask every morning for 4 months and my skin is completely clear and my slight hyperpigmentation marks from some adult breakouts are gone. I'm 35 and I'm very happy to have found this device- I don't have to worry about a breakouts at all and if I do get one, it is a rare occurrence and small and goes away in a day or two.  This device combined with my skin care routine really makes me look and feel my best with or without makeup. 

    The best part is, this device was/is Health Savings Account eligible from my Wage Works MRA account, so I submitted my receipt and it was completely free for me once I was reimbursed for the expense.  I feel whacky putting on this mask each morning, but I figure I'm alread using a Nuface Mini each night, so what's another device added to the mix?  I am so grateful for the ladies on here who recommended and taught me about LED face devices!

I'm glad to see that the LED masks have worked for some. If I tried that I would scare the cat.  (It does look scary) My husband wouldn't say much, but he would consider it a waste of money and think I'm a bit strange for wearing such a device whether it worked or not. 

BTW, a LED mask isn't in my budget. I'll stay with moisturizers and serums.

I did not buy a mask, but I did buy a NovaaLab belt meant for pain relief.  It's red light and near Infrared light and the nm's are the same as the masks are.  It was still pricey, but not AS pricey as the masks.  I have not been religious with it.  I started out at 3X/week since.  I could pretty much count on DH being away from the house those evenings, so that was my reasoning.  I do not want him to see me using it.  I was embarressed enough when he saw me using my Hairmax headband.  No, he didn't make fun of me or anything, it's just my desire or privacy. 

I was good at 3X/week for awhile, but things have changed and I have gotten lazy with it, so sometimes I'm doing good to get 1X/wk in.  That was this week.  I just did my treatment about half an hour ago.  My results?  I couldn't really say.  As I understand it, it can take months for the results to kick in, and I added Tretinoin and the Timeless serum into the mix after starting the mask.  So, I can only give you the results of the 3 combined.  BTW, it IS a total pain to use and I have to do 2 sessions each time to get my entire face, so 20 minutes total every time. It also messes up my hair.

I'm definitely happy with my results although some days are better than others.  The first thing I noticed was that my lip lines had become softened.  They're still there, and I think of them much like a kink in a hose.  You're never going to actually get rid of them, but you can build up the support underneath so they don't "kink" as bad.  So, when I un pucker, the lines go away quicker than they did before.  I also noticed my jowls had lessened somewhat.  I can still tighten that area a bit when I do the facelift thing with my fingers, but they're not as noticeable TO ME.  I think my marionette lines are also softened as long as I don't look down and see mysef in my phone camera.  Eeek!  Just the other day I also noticed my 111 lines also seem to be softened and the ones on either side of the 1 are almost nonexistent, at least on a resting, no expression face.  

As I said above, the lip lines results could be due to Timeless or Tretinoin, but it also could be because the LED belt I use rests directly on them whereas the masks have a hole cut out around the mouth.  I don't know anything about the LED mouthpiece some here bought.  

All in all I am happy with my results; however, I rather doubt anybody I know notices any difference.  So, it's more about how I feel about my looks than what others are seeing.
