LED face mask

JOVS 4D Laser Mask

Full name: 4D Laser Light Therapy Mask

Company: Hongkong Xuyuan Trading Limited

Notes on these figures

Stated as '6-8x more powerful (143mW/cm²) than any LED mask'. Measurement distance, location, instrument, mode (M1/M2/M3) and whether per-band or combined are NOT disclosed.

Light-output figures come from the manufacturer. Independent checks are rare, even in published studies, so treat them as claims. Why

Using it

Treatment

Session length
10, 15 or 20 (T1/T2/T3); default 10
Details

Recommended plans combine two 10-min sessions (e.g. M1 10 min + M3 10 min) or one 15–20 min session. UK page also says 'Just 15 Minutes per Session'.

How often
3 treatments per week (implied)
Details

Only appears in the UK page comparison table: 'Visible Results 4 Weeks (3 Treatments Per Week)'. No explicit frequency instruction or maximum per day found. UK page tagline 'Unlimited treatment'.

Modes
3 modes: M1 soothing, M2 standard, M3 deep (intensity via +/−); 3 timers T1/T2/T3

Design and power

Power
Cordless; rechargeable battery in handheld controller ('remote control'), USB Type-C charging with charging adapter included
Battery
4000 mAh (upgraded controller; earlier controller 1600 mAh); chemistry not stated

Sources differ: Controller battery 1600 mAh (original) vs 4000 mAh (upgraded); product images may show the old controller.

Details

FAQ: controller 'comprehensively upgraded' with a display screen; battery 'increased from 1600mAh to 4000mAh'. Units in circulation may have either controller.

Charge time

Eye protection
No goggles or eye inserts; eye openings in mask. Brand states narrow beam angle makes it 'safe for eyes, no glasses needed'
Details

Eye-safety claim not backed by a published laser class or photobiological safety standard (IEC 60825-1 / IEC 62471).

Weight
1,810 g Retailer-stated
Details

Amazon UK 'Item weight 1.81 kg' (package weight 1.83 kg) — almost certainly includes packaging/accessories. JOVS gives no mask weight, only 'ultra-light'.

Safety and regulation

Who shouldn't use it JOVS's list

  • Not recommended with facial acne or wounds (FAQ)

Regulatory status

UK
UKCA Not disclosed
Details

No UKCA wording found on the UK product page or Amazon UK listing.

UK
UK Responsible Person / UK address Not disclosed

Only a Hong Kong seller address is published.

EU
CE marking: US page: 'CE Certification — Conformité Européenne… earning the CE mark for safe use worldwide and free circulation in Europe' Manufacturer-stated

No declaration of conformity, notified body or EU representative published. Not stated on UK page.

US
FDA 510(k) clearance: K240360 — 'Wrinkle Treatment Device (JM2)', Shenzhen Qianyu Technology Co., Ltd, product code OHS, decision 2024-04-05 Requested from manufacturer
Details

JOVS cites no K-number. Clearance exists (confirmed in openFDA), but its link to this mask is our inference, so status is 'requested' until JOVS confirms. Match to this product is inferred (UK image filenames 'JM2'; openFDA listing also shows K240360 listed by Emerge Technologies as 're-nu Smart Beauty Wrinkle Treatment Mask (RENUJOVS4D)'). Related K244020 'Wrinkle Treatment Device (JM1, JM2B)' (2025-05-01) may cover a later version. accessdata.fda.gov summary PDFs blocked by bot check — device description and emitter type in the clearance not read. US status only — not a UK approval.

US
Marketing wording: 'World's 1st & ONLY *FDA-cleared Laser Therapy Mask'; also 'FDA-approved' Conflicting information
Details

510(k) is a clearance, not an approval. 'World's only' not verified.

UK
MHRA device registration Not yet checked
Details

MHRA told the BBC on 5 Nov 2025 that 'there are currently no LED face masks currently registered'. Registration can be checked on the MHRA Public Access Registration Database (PARD); not yet checked for this model.

A conformity mark or US FDA clearance doesn't prove a device works. "Not published" doesn't mean unsafe. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or take light-sensitising medicines, ask your GP or pharmacist first.

Other places sources disagree

  • 'FDA-approved' (UK product description) vs 'FDA-cleared' (UK/US pages). A 510(k) (K240360, found by us) is a clearance.
  • UK page: wrinkles reduced in '2-4 weeks' / 'Visible Result Within 4 Weeks'; US page: 'Visible in 1 Week' and '1-2 Week'; US FAQ: subtle changes after 28 days, more visible after 6–8 weeks.
  • '6-8x more powerful' (UK spec panel) vs '6x more powerful' elsewhere; US comparison table shows 143 vs 80 vs 30 mW/cm² for unnamed competitors.
  • Product brief describes the mask as laser + LED; JOVS pages describe all four wavelengths and all 140 beams as laser (VCSEL/FPT). The Amazon title says '6X LED Power'.
  • UK page FAQ Q8 'Does the JOVS 4D Laser Light Therapy Mask have legitimate FDA status?' is answered with the acne/wounds text (copy error).

Open questions (15)

Facts we still need from JOVS
  • Laser classification under IEC 60825-1 (class and edition) for the device and each wavelength; any IEC 62471 photobiological safety assessment
  • Which emitters are laser diodes (VCSEL) and which, if any, are LEDs; emitter count per wavelength
  • Irradiance 143 mW/cm²: measurement distance, points, instrument, mode, per wavelength or combined
  • Wavelength tolerances (±nm)
  • Model code: is the UK unit 'JM2' (K240360) or 'JM2B' (K244020)? Is it identical to the US unit?
  • UKCA marking and declaration of conformity; UK Responsible Person and UK address
  • CE declaration of conformity and EU authorised representative
  • Is it registered with MHRA as a medical device?
  • Full study report behind the week 1/2/4 results; 'SGS certification' scope
  • User manual PDF (contraindications, age limits, eye warnings, charge time, sessions per charge)
  • Recommended frequency and maximum sessions per day
  • Mask weight without packaging
  • Charge time; usable while charging; battery chemistry and replaceability
  • Durability/expected lifespan: a Reddit lead (not checked) reported a JOVS device failing after two years — beyond the 12-month warranty
  • Authorised UK retailers
