Customer Story: why I chose an LED mask at my age

By Aimee Jansen4 min read

Mrs. De Boer doubted for months whether LED masks really worked. Then she investigated it thoroughly, and now she doesn't want to do without it.

"At my age, you don't fall for beauty hypes anymore. So I did three evenings of research before buying this mask."

I'm going to tell you something you'll probably recognize

You stand in front of the mirror in the morning and someone looks back who seems more tired than you feel. Not dramatically. Just lines that weren't as clear last year. Skin that has lost some of its glow, no matter how well you take care of it.

And you know exactly what the options are. The clinic. The needle. The price tags that come with it. For me, that was never an option.

Not out of principle against others, everyone has their choice, but I didn't want to look like I'd had something done. I just wanted to look like myself. On a good day. Then those LED masks kept coming up more and more often.

My first thought was, honestly: I'm not falling for that.

So I did what I always do: research

I'm from the generation that doesn't order based on a video. So I started reading. For evenings. About wavelengths, because that's what it turns out to be about, not how futuristic such a mask looks.

About the difference between red light around 630 nm, which is being studied in relation to collagen production, and near-infrared, which penetrates deeper into the skin. About which brands properly state their specifications and which talk around them.

The big names came up. Omnilux: $395. Dr. Dennis Gross: $455. CurrentBody: £399.99. All good devices, but each with two or at most three wavelengths, at a price that made me swallow hard.

I double-checked the comparison three times, because it felt almost too logical. The same technology, more wavelengths, a third to half the price. Plus a 30-day money-back guarantee. At that moment I realized: my doubt was now costing me more than the mask itself.

Not younger in a weird way. Not taut. Healthy. Rested. That was exactly what I was looking for.

My experience with the LED mask after a few weeks

I won't promise you miracles, because they don't exist, and brands that do promise miracles should be distrusted anyway.

But this is what I saw, after weeks of consistent use of the anti-aging program, fifteen minutes at a time:

• Fine lines: visibly softened, not gone, but softer.
• My glow: a freshness in my skin that I honestly had forgotten about.
• The best compliment: my daughter said I just looked healthy.

That daughter, Dana, by the way, was even more skeptical than I was at first. Meanwhile, she uses the mask herself, with the blue light, for her troubled, dry skin.

She started slowly, on the medium setting, fifteen minutes per session. Her skin has become smoother and calmer in color than I have seen in years.

A relaxing fifteen minutes with my LED mask

I'm not going to pretend you look elegant with that thing on. My husband laughed out loud the first time. I call it my science fiction moment.

But those fifteen minutes on the couch, mask on, eyes closed, no one needing anything from me, has become the calmest moment of my day.

And perhaps that's why it works: this is the first skin device I effortlessly stick with. No appointments, no clinic, no recovery time. Three to five times a week, at home, whenever it suits me.

Because that's what I learned in all that research: it's not the device that makes the difference. Repetition makes the difference. And repetition only works with something that fits into your life.

For the women who want to check it themselves first

Do your own research, I would do the same.

What you'll find then: Maxi Meilleur has grown into one of Europe's largest LED therapy brands, with an "Excellent" rating on Trustpilot and hundreds of reviews from women who, like me, doubted for a long time.

The Pro Series LED Mask costs €199, with free shipping (ordered today, delivered tomorrow) and a 30-day money-back guarantee: vibrant, radiant skin in 4 weeks, or your money back.

I doubted for months. In retrospect, that was the only thing that really cost me.
