NovaaLab Glow Therapy Mask: Modes, Specs and Who It Suits

The NovaaLab Novaa Glow Therapy Mask is a flexible silicone LED face mask with 108 LEDs, four wavelengths and six light modes, for a hands-free session at home. It sits in our red light therapy range alongside NovaaLab pads and wraps, and this page walks through its modes, specs and who it suits.

Short answer

The Novaa Glow Therapy Mask is a rechargeable, strap-on LED mask for a home wellness routine. It has 108 LEDs, red, yellow, blue and near-infrared light, six modes and a 10, 20 or 30 minute timer, and it is priced at $250 on our site. It is a wellness device, not a medical treatment.

Specifications

Specifications are from NovaaLab (product page and user manual).

The six light modes

A handheld controller switches between red (630nm), blue (450nm), yellow (580nm), purple (red and blue together), near-infrared (830nm) and red with near-infrared together. Near-infrared light is invisible, so in that mode the LEDs show only a faint red glow. NovaaLab lists contact irradiance of 7.5 mW/cm2 for yellow, 13.4 for blue, 16.2 for red and blue together and 20.3 for near-infrared.

Using it day to day

Elastic straps with Velcro hold the mask in place, so you can sit back without holding it, and the rechargeable battery means you are not tied to an outlet. NovaaLab suggests 10-minute sessions, 3 to 5 times a week. Many buyers fold it into an evening routine after a sauna or cold plunge session. The box includes the controller, a USB-C cable, straps, a storage bag and the manual.

Safety and care

Do not use the mask if you are pregnant, have epilepsy, are sensitive to light or take medication that increases light sensitivity, and talk with your doctor first if you are unsure. Do not use it while sleeping, walking or driving. The mask is not waterproof, so wipe it with a dry cloth after use. This is general wellness information and not medical advice.

Mask, pad or panel?

A mask covers the face hands-free. If you want to use light on a larger area, compare it with other formats in our guide to red light panels, blankets and masks, or see how NovaaLab red light pads compare. Prices vary a lot by format; what a red light panel costs puts the mask in context, and the electricity guide covers running cost.

Other NovaaLab devices we sell include the Novaa Light Pad from $350, the Novaa Knee Ultra from $270 and the NovaaLab Starter bundle that includes the mask, from $1,240. Browse the whole NovaaLab collection.

Warranty, shipping and returns

NovaaLab provides a 2-year manufacturer warranty starting the day you buy from Restore Suite, an authorized NovaaLab partner, so keep your receipt. Change-of-mind returns are not accepted on NovaaLab devices; damaged or defective items are replaced. Shipping cost is shown at checkout before you pay.

Is a face mask the right format for you?

A mask suits someone who wants a short, hands-free session at home and who values a portable, rechargeable device over a large panel on a stand. Because it is battery powered and charges by USB-C, you can use it on a couch or in a bedroom without finding an outlet. It will not replace a panel or pad if you want to cover a larger area, and the multi-wavelength modes are best read as options to try, not promises of an outcome. This page describes the device and its specifications only; it makes no claims about skin or health results.

Questions to ask before you buy

Check three things before you order. First, read the safety list above and make sure none of it applies to you, and talk with your doctor if you are unsure. Second, remember that change-of-mind returns are not accepted on NovaaLab devices, so be sure the format is what you want. Third, think about your routine: NovaaLab suggests 10-minute sessions, so a mask fits best for people who will use it consistently, a few times a week, rather than occasionally. If you want to see how it compares with other formats, our red light guides above walk through pads, panels and wraps, and you can call us at (945) 280-3243 with questions.
