FAQ
Do you have to wear eye protection while using the Yū Derma mask?
The Yū Derma mask has been tested to the highest internationally recognized eye safety standards and has been deemed safe to use on uncovered eyes. However, we do provide a pair of optional eyeshields to use if you have eye sensitivity to light glare.
Does the Yū Derma LED Mask deliver light that is 100% UV free?
Red and Near-Infrared are on the opposite spectrum of light to UV, and neither the in-salon treatment nor the Yū Derma LED mask contains any UV light.
How often can I use my Yū Derma device?
We recommend a minimum of 3-5x per week, but, in fact, love to use ours daily - which is the beauty and convenience of a wearable device.
Can my Yū Derma device be used after Botox / filler/ face procedures?
Yes, the Yū Derma can be applied post-injectables. Swelling from injectables normally occurs about 8 hours afterward, so the best time to apply is 6-8 hours afterward. LED will take down the swelling in a day, but bruising tends to take longer to treat. We reccomend to use the mask 3-5 days after the application of botox.
Best practice for bruising is to use LED consistently for 2 days prior, as that will lessen your chances of bruising, and then continue for the week after.
Can my Yū Derma device be used straight after surgery?
LED is most effective in post-surgical treatment if it begins 24 hours after the surgery and continues for three days. However, you can continue treatment for as long and as often as you wish, as the treatment will continue to benefit your healing tissues.
Applying pre-surgery, for at least two days, will also speed up the healing time.
Does the Yū Derma mask or Collar stimulate facial hair?
We have very different hair on our head than on our face, so there is no need to worry.
Can I use the Yū Derma devices with at-home skin tools, such as microcurrent?
Yes, LED is safe to use with almost all other skincare modalities.
Can you use the Yū Derma devices straight after microneedling?
Yes, and in fact, the creator of microneedling recommends that LED is always used in combination.
Can the Yū Derma mask or Collar help rosacea?
Yes, we've had brilliant feedback on the results the Yū Derma LED mask has had on rosacea and redness.
Is there an age recommendation?
You can use the Yū Derma LED from 16 years of age. We do not have clinical research on the use of wearable Yū Derma LED on under 16s, so use on younger teenagers and children is at the choice and risk of the parent. As each child's healing and recovery journey is different, we recommend seeking advice from your doctor prior to use.
