The Capillus Face Mask Protocol
Designed to help you get the most out of your red and near-infrared LED sessions, whether your goal is targeting acne, reducing fine lines, or improved skin health overall.
Capillus Face Mask Protocol
This protocol delivers targeted photobiomodulation to boost collagen, improve skin tone, and reduce acne using red, near-infrared, and blue LED wavelengths. It is intended for adults seeking a non-invasive at-home option for skin rejuvenation or acne care. The Capillus Face Mask is clinically distinct for its multi-wavelength, medical-grade, non-thermal LED design that provides uniform, effective treatment with no irritation or downtime.
The Science
The Capillus Face Mask works through photobiomodulation, using precise red, near-infrared, and blue LED wavelengths that penetrate the skin to stimulate mitochondrial activity, increase cellular energy (ATP), and activate fibroblasts to increase collagen and elastin production. Red and near-infrared light support dermal repair, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall skin tone and firmness, while blue light targets acne-causing bacteria and helps calm breakouts. By delivering non-thermal, medical-grade light evenly across the face, the device leverages well-established cellular pathways to promote smoother, clearer, and healthier-looking skin.

Redness / Rosacea-like Inflammation / Barrier Recovery
| Target | Wavelength | Mode | Frequency | Mechanism |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vascular inflammation | 850 nm | NIR Mode | Daily | ↓NF-κB, ↓IL-1β, ↓TNF-α |
| Barrier recovery | 650 nm | Red Mode | Daily | ATP-mediated repair |
| Mixed erythema + sensitivity | 650 + 850 nm | Red Mode | Daily | Synergistic anti-inflammatory depth |
Global Skin Optimization / Tone / Radiance
| Target | Wavelength | Mode | Frequency | Mechanism |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Improved complexion | 650 nm | Red Mode | Daily | Mitochondrial activation & microvascular perfusion |
| Multi-target enhancement | 405 + 650 + 850 nm | Pink / Combination Mode | Daily | Combined mitochondrial + inflammatory + surface effects |
How to Use the Device
- Always cleanse your face before using the mask to remove dirt, oils, and makeup.
- Let your skin dry completely before starting a session — wet or damp skin may affect light penetration.
- Adjust the mask straps so it sits comfortably but snugly — this ensures even light exposure.
- The LED light therapy is non-thermal and gentle, there is generally no downtime, but if you feel any discomfort, stop the session.
- After a session, apply any serums or moisturizers after the treatment — light therapy may enhance product absorption.
Suggested Clinical Home-Use Protocol
For mixed concerns (common in practice):
Week 1–2:
- Day 1: Blue Mode
- Day 2: Red Mode
- Day 3: NIR Mode
- Repeat cycle
Week 3+ (maintenance):
- Prefer Red or Combination Mode daily
- Add Blue 2–3× weekly if acne-prone
- Add NIR 3× weekly if redness-prone
