Video reviews
Best for
  • • Anyone wanting a simple, established red-light routine for fine lines
  • • Users who prefer a flexible silicone mask over a rigid shell
  • • Buyers who don't need custom wavelength modes
  • • Curious first-timers who want a low-cost red light device
  • • Anyone who enjoys a relaxing massage-style routine
  • • Spot-treating the eye area and jawline
Strengths
  • Three wavelengths (633, 830 and 1072 nm) from 236 LEDs at a stated 30 mW/cm²
  • Hands-free 10-minute sessions with an automatic shut-off and clip-on controller
  • Chin strap and flexible silicone give fuller coverage than the Series 1, per reviewers
  • Four technologies in one wand: 630 nm red light, warmth, galvanic current and vibration
  • Built-in 3-minute zone timer and 12-minute auto shut-off
  • Small enough to target smile lines, under-eyes and jawline
Watch-outs
  • Fit and straps need fiddling, according to Tech Advisor
  • Only one preset program and no app control, unlike the newer Series 3
  • Results are subtle, per Woman & Home and The Style Shaker
  • Only works on moist skin, so it needs serum or gel every time
