How to perform a DIY Ultrasonic Photo Facial:
- Thoroughly cleanse the skin.
- Remove all jewelry.
- Apply a serum. I’ve been using a simple oil-based serum like THIS one. You can also use a hyaluronic acid serum as well. Go HERE for that DIY. I’m guessing, all though I’ve not tried it, that aloe vera gel might work nicely too. I like to use something that has major skin benefits in hopes that the device will push it further into my skin for more benefits. It does come with it’s own serum but I do not approve of the ingredients.
- Turn on your device and select the level and LED color you are going to use. Hint: I usually do about 7 minutes of red and 3 minutes of blue.
- Put on the super lovely goggles. Unfortunately this is the bummer of LEDs. These little lights are BRIGHT! They will hurt your eyes even if your eyes are closed.
- Gently glide the silver disc in the middle of the LEDs over your skin using upward and/or circular movements.
- After 10 minutes, turn off your device and leave your skin alone.
- Get some beauty sleep!!
**Clean the LEDs and silver disc after each use. I use rubbing alcohol or vinegar and then wipe off with water.
It’s that simple! After a few minutes the LED light heats up a tiny bit but I find it very relaxing. Because this is not an invasive skin treatment, consistency and patience is key. Everyone is different and some people experience improvements within a week while others don’t see much for months. What I do know is that no matter what, this device will encourage healthy collagen production which is a must as we age. Collagen production declines dramatically in our late 30’s. No collagen equals saggy, wrinkled skin. It also kills bacteria-that’s for sure going to happen so to me, whether I see visible results or not, this device is worth it.

P.S. I forgot to mention that this device comes with a free 1 year warranty!

What a lovely article.Its so informative and really draws one in.Thank Jen!
You’re welcome!
I just bit the bullet and ordered one, which I plan to use with your serum. Do you use on neck also? How many times a week did you start with?
Hi Barbara! Yay! I use it 4 times a week with my own serum and I do 10 minutes each time I use it alternating with the red and green LED. Yes, you can actually use it anywhere on the body so the neck would be a great place! I hop you like it!
Thank you 🙂
Hi Jenni. I have the same device and used it with my DIY oil serum. But when I glides the device on my face, at certain area of my skin, I could feel painful pricking sensation. Only at certain area of my skin. Is it a normal sensation with ultrasonic devices?
I actually highly recommend the LED light. I am an actress, and do photoshoots and video shoots. Before every shoot I do the LED Light Treatment and I use the Somaluxe Face Wash before the photoshoot. The combination of both makes my skin flawless and look perfect on camera. Highly recommend
Hi Jenni-
It seems this device is no longer available on Amazon. I searched around but there are many devices with similar names- can you offer me any suggestions or search words?
Many thanks!
Jennifer-Just found one that’s just like it and affordable! Find it HERE.
Thanks for sharing this useful information.
Hi Jenny,
I was wondering, can we use the led light or ultrasonic on a sheet mask ?
Do you recommend it ?
Thanks
Magali-I never have-I’m not sure you would get the benefits of the LED light through a sheet mask.
I don’t think oil based serums allow the light therapy to penetrate properly. Water based are recommended
Caren-I hadn’t heard that but I’ll look in to it. It makes sense. It’s just that oil gives a better slip. Thanks for letting me know!
Hi Jenni,
Love love your website. I tried looking up the photon ultrasonic device, amazon says page not found. I did find a device called LUMA for around 59 bucks. Would that be a good one? Thanks so much
Debra-Thank you so much! I haven’t tried this brand but it is similar to what I have and I think it will work great!
