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.
What's In The Box
Note: A power adapter is not included. You will need a 5V/1A USB power source (a standard phone charger adapter works).
Charging Your Mask
Connect the included USB-C cable to the charging port on the mask and plug it into a 5V/1A adapter. A full charge takes approximately 3 hours.
First use: Charge your mask fully before your very first session.
Setup & First Use

Light Modes Guide

- Fades dark spots, evens skin tone, and enhances your natural glow.
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen for firmer, younger-looking skin.
- Targets acne-causing bacteria, clears breakouts, and helps prevent future blemishes.
- Improves skin texture and helps reduce inflammation.
