Brief Summary

The present study evaluated facial skin health over a 12-week period using an at-home device that provides 12 minutes of LED light and vibration once daily, six days a week. The primary question it seeks to answer is whether daily use of the TheraFace Mask Glo alters facial skin characteristics. Secondary aims include collecting clinical images, professional photographs, and consumer perceptions of the device. Participants between the ages of 39-64 with various skin types were enrolled for participation. Participants visited the clinic three times for collection of outcome metrics at baseline, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks. Participants also came to the lab at 4 weeks for a compliance check. Measurements included: expert clinical grading, digital imaging, subjective assessment of skin, and clinical grade-images.

Conditions

Fine Lines; Contour; Sagging Skin; Dark Spots; Wrinkles; Firmness; Skin Tone; Radiance/Luminosity

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Overall skin health appearance

  Expert clinical grading, VISIA-CR imaging and participant perceptions will be used in conjunction to measure a variety of skin health appearance measures including: fine lines, wrinkles (including wrinkle depth), skin tone evenness, skin texture, firmness, contour, sagging skin, skin radiance and luminosity, skin texture and smoothness, and dark spot/aging spot appearance. The VISIA-CR is a clinical facial imaging system used to analyze skin conditions.

  12-weeks

Study Arms (1)

Daily LED and Vibration Use

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will use the device once daily for 12-15 minutes for 12-weeks. The device delivers LED (red light, red+infrared, and blue light) and vibration to the eye and scalp area.

Device: LED Light Treatment; Device: Vibration Only

Interventions

LED Light Treatment DEVICE

The device will guide participants through a treatment that cycles through Red (4 minutes), Red + Infrared (4 minutes), and Blue (4 minutes) LED therapy in combination with vibration therapy, for a 12-minute treatment. Participants will be asked to use the device Monday through Saturday, on a clean face, as part of their evening routine.

Daily LED and Vibration Use

Vibration Only DEVICE

On each Sunday of the 12-week program, participants will be asked to complete a 15-minute vibration-only treatment session as part of their evening routine.
