Capillus Red Light Face Mask — Setup & User GuideUpdated 17 hours ago

 

Getting Started

Capillus Red Light Face Mask

Your complete guide to setting up, using, and caring for your Capillus Red Light Face Mask — four targeted light therapy modes for skin, clarity, and recovery.

How It Works

The Capillus Face Mask delivers clinically studied wavelengths of light directly to your skin through a flexible, form-fitting mask. Unlike skincare products that work on the surface, light energy penetrates below the skin's layers to stimulate cellular activity at the source — reducing inflammation, supporting collagen production, clearing breakouts, and accelerating recovery.

Each 10-minute session delivers a precise therapeutic dose. The mask auto shuts off when your session is complete.
