Project E Beauty Review: Are These Devices Safe?

Many people are adopting skincare routines and facial treatments as they have become increasingly popular due to their benefits and results. These routines are different as they don’t have to be similar; you can personalize them to suit your needs and requirements.

Over the years, the use and inclusion of red light therapy in these routines has also gained momentum. The application of this technology is said to take your routine to the next level by providing you with at-home devices that help you treat and manage different skin conditions at home.

Red light therapy treatment sessions are offered in spas by aestheticians/dermatologists. However, these in-office treatments are likely slightly costly and less effective since they are one-off sessions. You will achieve the best results if your red light therapy treatment sessions are consistent.

For this reason, many are opting for at-home red light therapy treatment, and it will be more beneficial to you if you get started the right way, especially for a beginner.

In this article, we shall be looking at Project E Beauty and another innovative device known as the Nushape LED Face Mask. Nushape, recognized for its advanced technology, offers a unique approach to red light therapy for facial care, addressing various skin concerns with its tailored LED mask.

Project E Beauty Products and Devices

While Project E Beauty has various products, we shall look at their 7 colored LED mask and the ultrasonic slimming device.

1. Project E LED Ultrasonic Slimming Therapy

Project E LED Ultrasonic Slimming Therapy combines 3 different functions to help manage various conditions in the body. These functions are Ultrasonic, Radio Frequency, and LED technology. Let’s take a look at their operations below:

• Ultrasonic Slimming- through this technology, ultrasound waves are transmitted to cellulite-affected areas and other areas of the body that need tightening and lifting. Also referred to as the cavitation intensity, it targets fat cells, causing them to disintegrate and be disposed of through the liver.
• Radio Frequency helps detoxify and increase blood flow while accelerating collagen and elastin production, leading to healthier-looking skin.
• LED – the red light technology at 625 nm wavelength intensity penetrates the skin’s derma, stimulating fibre cells and increasing blood flow, which causes collagen production, making your skin smooth, firm and more elastic.

2. Project E 7 Colour LED Mask

Project E 7 Colour LED Mask is one of Project E’s best sellers, so let’s do a fact check and see if this LED Mask is worth all the hype. The Project E therapy mask allows you to use 7 different light options, each addressing a different skin issue. These lights and their functions are listed below:

• Red Light – helps with collagen production, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and smoothening the skin
• Blue Light – this wavelength is calming and ideal for people with sensitive and oily skin. It kills bacteria and reduces acne and inflammation while specifically targeting rashes that might be on the skin
• Purple light – it increases blood circulation and strengthens the protein fiber tissue, leading to a reduction of pores and wrinkles
• Green Light – works well on individuals with combination skin. It helps with anti-aging by smoothening the wrinkles and giving the skin a brighter appearance by rejuvenating it
• Yellow light – helps balance out sensitive skin and fading dark spots caused by conditions like acne and other blemishes
• Cayan Light – soothes and reduces inflammation of the skin and provides acne treatment
• White Light – helps the skin appear more youthful and healthier by reversing signs of aging

Before you start using the LED mask, it is strongly advised to carry out a light sensitivity test on an area of your skin that is not sensitive. This test will help you rule out if you’re sensitive to red light therapy; after 24 hours, you can tell if this treatment is ideal.

The Project E LED Mask is white and comes with a user manual and remote control that you can use to change the wavelength settings and control other functions of the mask. It also has a charger that is used to charge the control box, which you plug into the mask when you want to use it and a cream that you should apply before beginning treatment.

While most LED masks tend to lean on the pricier curve, this Project E LED Mask has quite a higher price tag than most. Price tag aside, most of the users were happy with the results, which require consistency and patience. It is important to note that we could not find information supporting if this mask is FDA-approved.

Some users have stated that the Project E LED Mask feels heavy on the face and uncomfortable, especially around the eye and nose area, where it seems to apply too much pressure when in use. The mask only allows you to use one colored light wavelength per treatment session, ideally lasting around 10-15 minutes spread out over 4 times per week.

With there being an influx of different brands of LED masks in the market, we decided to highlight some things to bear in mind when shopping for one. They are:

• Brand – look for brands that have a good reputation and more positive reviews
• Testing – if possible, do a free run of the device before purchasing one or look up a device’s clinical trial to determine its efficiency
• FDA Approved – a device that the FDA has approved ensures your safety and is likely to have clinical data backing up its efficiency
• Color of LED Lights and Wavelength – not all LED masks come in-built with a variation of different lights, so bearing in mind your needs, go for a mask that will ideally give you the treatment you require. Check on the wavelength strength as you want it to be within the recommended intensity
• Comfort – for something you will use regularly, it needs to be comfortable during the treatment sessions
• Budget – and finally, it always comes down to the price point; the price range for most LED masks is $50-$1000. Working with your budget, go for one that you are comfortable with and can afford

What is the Customer Feedback?

Below, we shall summarize some of Project E Beauty’s customers’ reviews. We highlight reviews from Amazon from people who used the Project E Beauty 7 colored mask. The overall rating is 4.2 stars from a total of 1,267 reviews.

A customer known as Eris Garnica said,

The mask works great and helped with my acne breakouts and is helping clear blemishes.

A different customer known as AMitch said,

After using the device for 12 weeks I have not seen any improvement. As someone who has tried several beauty treatments that have been effective this is the only one that hasn’t worked.

Another customer had to return the device because, during delivery, the serum that comes with the mask had spilled into the LED mask USB port, making it not work most of the time.

Conclusion

While we appreciate how revolutionary and convenient red light therapy devices are, would you be ready and willing to buy some of the most expensive devices available? Not to disregard the positive reviews and benefits highlighted by most users, one reason for opting for at-home red light therapy sessions is to avoid the high treatment costs dermatologist’s and aestheticians.

Therefore, we advise going for slightly affordable devices that offer the same benefits and convenience at a fraction of the cost of Project E devices. To get an idea of some of the numerous masks available in the market, you can look at another article we did compiling 21 Best LED Light Therapy Masks 2023.

Most of the devices will prove to be worthy investments in the long run, even if not used regularly. But to get the best results and improve your skin’s appearance, we recommend using the devices regularly and consistently to reap all the benefits of red light therapy.
