Quick summary

I absolutely love it! Consistent use of the mask gives my skin a real glow and a lovely firm, bouncy feel I thought I’d lost 10 years ago.

I’m writing this in April, just as we’re coming into a time of year when I normally feel my skin is at its worst, but I haven’t felt this confident with my skin for years.

What is the JOVS 4D Laser Light Therapy Mask? 

The JOVS 4D Laser Light Therapy Mask is a light therapy skincare mask. It combines advanced technology you often see in beauty spas with a simple design that’s easy to use at home and incorporate into your daily skincare routine. 

The mask uses Focus Photothermal Therapy (FPT) to deliver targeted light therapy to address various skin concerns like dullness, dark circles, elasticity reduction, fine lines and aging.

The mask focuses light energy with a precise 20° beam angle. This concentrated approach ensures that therapeutic light penetrates deeply into the skin, enhancing collagen production and cellular renewal. The result is a treatment that’s up to six times more effective than traditional LED masks and leads to noticeable improvements in skin texture and tone.

The mask features four specific light wavelengths, each designed to address distinct skin issues:

  • 660nm Red Light: Enhances skin metabolism and reduces dullness.
  • 850nm Near-Infrared Light: Stimulates cell activity, improving skin elasticity.
  • 940nm Near-Infrared Light: Activates microcirculation, reducing redness and promoting rejuvenation.
  • 1064nm Long-Wave Infrared Light: Penetrates deep into the skin to promote collagen regeneration and slow aging.

The JOVS 4D Mask has three modes:

  • M1 (Soothing Mode): Ideal for sensitive skin, this mode promotes microcirculation and maintains skin stability.
  • M2 (Standard Mode): Targets mixed skin types, focusing on brightening the complexion and reducing dark circles.
  • M3 (Deep Mode): Designed for intensive care, it deeply penetrates the skin to reduce wrinkles and enhance firmness.

Each mode can be set for 10, 15, or 20 minutes, allowing you to customize your treatment duration.

If this is all going over your head then don’t worry, it did for me too! I can’t pretend to know how it really works. All I can say is that it does work!

Comfortable and convenient design

Consistent use leads to the best results and, thankfully, this mask is really comfortable and easy to wear.

The JOVS mask is made from a nano-molecule grade liquid silicone so it’s lightweight, flexible, comfortable and hypoallergenic. Its ergonomic design creates a snug fit, maximizing light exposure. The mask is connected to a small controller which you can place in your pocket or attach to your top so you can move freely while wearing it if you want to. I try to sit still and relax while wearing it but with three kids I often need to get up and help out with something and it’s really convenient that I don’t need to stop my treatment half way through!

Clinically proven results

Clinical studies have demonstrated the mask’s effectiveness:

  • 85% of users observed a reduction in fine lines after 4 weeks of use.
  • 92% experienced decreased redness within 2 weeks.
  • 88% noticed lighter dark circles after consistent application.

I think these results are so impressive and I can honestly say the results just get better with longer use.

Safe and user-friendly

The JOVS 4D Mask is FDA-cleared and designed with safety in mind. Its focused light beams minimize exposure to non-targeted areas so you don’t need to wear protective eyewear while using it. 

JOVS 4D Laser Light Therapy Mask: my 18-month review 

After 18 months of using the JOVS 4D Laser Light Therapy Mask, I can confidently say it works. If you’ve been overwhelmed by all the technical jargon surrounding light therapy masks, don’t worry, I was too. I’d gone deep into a rabbit warren of online reviews and had no idea which mask was best for me. So let me skip the science-y stuff and give you the real deal from my personal experience.

In short, my skin feels brighter, smoother, and healthier than ever before. I’ve tried plenty of skincare treatments over the years, but nothing has had quite the same effect as this mask.

 Beyond just improving my skin, it’s helped me create a calming nightly ritual that encourages relaxation and self-care. All of which I’m sure contributes to that morning glow.

I use the mask for about 15 minutes each evening, usually right before bed. I love the gentle warmth it gives off. It’s cozy, comforting, and surprisingly soothing even in warmer weather. It’s become part of a wind-down routine that includes drinking water, lighting a candle or diffuser, and either reading, journaling, or yes, scrolling on my phone while watching MAFS on TV!

It’s hard to say if I’m seeing a reduction in wrinkles but I absolutely see an improvement in overall skin texture and radiance and I honestly feel it’s the glow that gives a youthful appearance. 

Since using the mask I’ve also been on a bit of a health kick. I’ve been drinking more water, eating well, exercising, and getting better sleep so I’m sure the results are from a combination of efforts. Still, I truly believe the mask has played a key role, especially since it encourages me to stick to those healthier habits.

One of the most important takeaways from my experience is consistency is everything. If you’re considering buying a light therapy mask, you have to commit to using it regularly. I keep mine charging by my bed so it’s always ready when I am. Daily use (or close to it) is where the results start to show.

As for the mask itself, the build quality is excellent. It feels luxurious and durable and it still looks boxfresh after 18 months of travelling the world with me! 

It comes in a stunning leather box which is beautiful and has the wow-factor but I did find the packaging a bit bulky and not the most practical for storage or travel. 

The mask connects via a small controller and can be worn while sitting, reading, or watching TV. The eyeholes don’t obstruct your vision, and it stays in place well, though you probably wouldn’t want to do anything too active while wearing it.

There are three modes to choose from, each targeting different skin concerns like texture, redness, and firmness. Honestly, I haven’t noticed a big difference between modes, but Mode 3 is my go-to.

So, would I recommend it? Yes! Especially if you’re looking for a skincare device that doubles as a relaxation tool. 

My journey: When I started using the JOVS 4D laser light therapy mask

I started using the JOVS 4D laser light therapy mask at a time when I was finally ready to start looking after myself! I had three children in five years so life had been completely crazy and chaotic. I didn’t have two seconds to look after myself. 

But 18 months ago my youngest child turned four and started school and I suddenly had the time and headspace to think about myself again. (Any mamas currently in the trenches of toddlerhood, don’t worry, it gets easier!)

In hindsight I’d call this the start of my ‘glow-up’ although I didn’t know it would lead to that at the time!

I’d bought a Peloton bike during lockdown and was using that regularly, and I’d finally found a cleanser and moisturiser that works for my tricky combination skin (thank you Beauty Pie!) 

I was eating well and finally sleeping well… but I still didn’t look or feel my best.

Then I started weight training, I cut down on my alcohol intake and I started using the JOVS 4D laser light therapy mask and I feel like all the pieces came together and I felt great.

Why am I telling you about my eating habits and exercise routine? You want to know about this light therapy mask, not my lifestyle. Right?

I’m mentioning it all because it’s all connected.

Yes, my skin has been glowing and blemish-free for months and I do think the JOVS 4D laser light therapy mask plays a huge role in that. But I think all the other elements are really important too and the mask has helped me do those things….

JOVS 4D laser light therapy mask and habit stacking

Have you heard of habit stacking?

Habit stacking is where you have one habit you can stick with and attach new habits onto it until it becomes a routine. The initial habit is usually something that’s fairly enjoyable (like using this mask) or something that’s so ingrained in your routine you could never not do it (like brushing your teeth). And then you stack additional habits onto that so one habit naturally follows the next.

Because the mask is so enjoyable to use, it’s an easy building block to start a new habit stack.

I’ve developed a habit where I use the mask at night time after cleansing my skin, and then I sit in bed and read while the mask works its magic. After that I drink a big glass of water and apply a serum and a moisturiser. Once I’ve done that I feel so relaxed I almost instantly fall asleep. 

When I’ve done that before bed I wake up feeling great because I’ve gone to sleep early, haven’t doom scrolled until 1am and fell asleep hydrated too. This also means I generally wake up early because I need to pee so it keeps me in a perfect rhythm with my sleep.

So I’m up early and have time to exercise, shower and properly get ready for the day. Because I’ve exercised I drink more water and want to eat healthy food so it’s this entire habit stack that has contributed to the improvement in my skin.

I can’t say what’s because of the mask and what’s because of my healthier habits but I can say it begins with the mask!

Consistency is key

Like everything in life, consistency is key to seeing results.

Thankfully, this mask is easy to be consistent with because it’s easy to use and it’s a comforting and relaxing experience.

I’ll admit that I’ve tried another red light therapy device before but it was a handheld tool you had to slowly move across your face. It wasn’t difficult to use but I couldn’t switch off and zone out, I had to hold it and slowly move it across my skin.

Did it work? Yes, absolutely.

Did I use it? Nope!

I used it consistently for about a month but I slowly stopped, simply because it was a bit of an effort! That sounds so lazy but I know I’m not alone in this. I passed it along to friends who also stopped using it after a few weeks.

A comfortable mask is definitely much easier to use than a handheld device and definitely makes it much easier to be consistent.

In conclusion….

The JOVS 4D Laser Light Therapy Mask is a powerful, non-invasive solution for anyone wanting to level up their skincare routine. I’ve found it to be so comfortable and convenient which is key for consistent use and seeing results.

I try to use it most days but if I do end up skipping a week then I do start to see a difference in my skin. It’s almost addictive because I don’t want to skip a day!
