The Protocol
Your 10-minute routine starts here.
Follow these steps consistently, and you'll begin seeing results within 2–4 weeks. Skin responds to light therapy cumulatively — the results build with every session.
Step 1: Preparation
Begin with a clean, dry face. Remove makeup, sunscreen, and heavy skincare products to ensure unobstructed light exposure. Residue on the skin surface can reduce the efficiency of light absorption — a clean canvas is essential.
Step 2: Positioning
Place the PHOS mask comfortably over your face and secure it using the adjustable elastic straps. The flexible medical-grade silicone is designed to contour naturally — most users find their preferred fit within the first session. If using the Complete System, position the neck piece around your neck and décolletage before activating.
Step 3: The Session
Activate the device and allow it to run through its pre-programmed 10-minute session. During use, most users experience little to no sensation beyond gentle warmth from the visible red light. The 830nm near-infrared wavelength is invisible to the human eye — this is expected and normal. All three wavelengths are active simultaneously throughout your session.
Step 4: Post-Treatment
Once the session is complete, remove the mask and apply your preferred serums or moisturizers. LED therapy can enhance the absorption of follow-up skincare, amplifying the results of your routine. Many users incorporate PHOS directly before their moisturizer as the final step of their evening ritual.
Recommended Frequency
Use PHOS daily as part of your evening routine for best results. Results are cumulative — the benefits compound with each session over time, and consistency is the only variable that matters.
Common Questions During Use
The red light is visible, but I can't see any near-infrared light — is it working? Yes. The 830nm wavelength is invisible to the human eye by design. When using a mode that includes near-infrared, you will only see the visible red light — but the NIR is active. Select your mode using the controller to choose your desired wavelength combination.
I feel a gentle warmth — is that normal? Completely normal and expected. The warmth comes from the visible red light component. PHOS delivers zero UV light and poses no thermal risk under normal use conditions.
How soon will I see results? LED therapy is cumulative. Most users notice an initial change in skin texture and tone within 2–4 weeks of consistent use. More significant changes in fine lines and persistent acne typically become visible at the 6–8 week mark. The science works — consistency is the only variable.
Important Note
PHOS is a non-invasive skincare device intended for cosmetic use. Individual results may vary based on skin type, consistency of use, and biological factors. If you have a history of photosensitive epilepsy or are using photosensitizing medications, consult your physician before beginning the PHOS Protocol.
