How long should I use an LED mask?

Most LED masks recommend 10-20 minute sessions. Set the timer for your device's recommended duration. Many devices auto-shutoff, but the timer helps track your routine.

What timer interval for microcurrent devices?

Microcurrent devices typically use 3-5 minute intervals per facial zone. Set every3minutes to 3 minutes with loop mode enabled to move between areas like forehead, cheeks, and jawline.

LED Mask Timer Guide

LED light therapy masks typically recommend:

Red light (anti-aging): 10-20 minutes per session
Blue light (acne): 10-15 minutes per session
Near-infrared: 15-20 minutes per session

Tip: Most masks have auto-shutoff. Use the timer to track total treatment time across multiple sessions. Since your eyes should stay closed during LED treatment, enable audio alerts so the timer notifies you audibly when time is up.

Microcurrent Device Timer

Microcurrent devices work best with zone-by-zone timing:

Forehead: 3 minutes
Eye area: 2-3 minutes per side
Cheeks: 3 minutes per side
Jawline/neck: 3-5 minutes

Tip: Set timer to 3 minutes and enable loop mode. Audio/vibration alerts signal when to move to the next zone. This hands-free approach lets you focus on your technique instead of watching the clock.

Facial Massage and Gua Sha

Timed intervals keep your massage routine balanced across all facial zones:

Gua sha per zone: 1 minute with loop mode (move to next area at each beep)
Facial massage: 2-3 minute intervals for each technique
Sheet masks: 15-20 minutes, single timer without loop

Tip: For massage routines, vibration alerts are especially useful since your hands are busy. The subtle buzz tells you when to switch zones or techniques without breaking your flow.

Settings

Vibration: Enable for tactile alerts without looking at screen. Ideal during hands-on treatments like microcurrent and massage
Audio: Beep sound when timer completes. Best for LED masks and sheet masks when your eyes are closed or covered
Keep screen on: Prevents your phone from sleeping during treatment. Useful for longer sessions where you want to glance at remaining time
Loop mode: Automatically restarts the timer when it reaches zero. Essential for zone-by-zone treatments where you need repeated intervals
