Before you buy id encourage you to learn about the difference between NIR (infrared light) vs JUST "Red LED" and also to consider buying a tabletop or other hinged style PANEL vs a mask for multiple reasons.
the ones that cost about $400 are worth it. I bought the Omnilux over a year ago and am happy with it. Your skin needs about 10 minutes of red light therapy five days a week and it would take you hours to get that done on your face if you used one of the little hand held ones instead of a face mask.
The price difference between NIR-RED light combo VS. just LED red light alone is huge because only NIR can penetrate the skin to the depths of generating collagen in tandem with led red light (looking at 150 to 200 bucks price difference whether it's a red led mask or panel) to get the full benefit you need NearInfared AND RedLED bulbs, this is why you see the multicolored and red led-only light masks and panels are only a quarter or less the cost of a proper NIR panel that traditionally used to only be available in the dermatologists office or tanning salons with Infared Light Booths.
Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support.
I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized.
he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that.
he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened.
he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence.
i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me
i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction.
after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly.
things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it.
we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe …
our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far?
this has upset me so much its hard to even function.
The panels work more than 4x more effectively than the face mask bulbs and it has to do with power supply the light count and the ratio of NIR bulbs (expensive) to just RED LED bulbs (less expensive these make up THE VAST MAJORITY of almost all 'RED LED' masks or devices
I was recently watching a video by Dr Jenny Liu, a dermatologist, on YouTube and she showed hers and said she uses it at home.
I theorize that if having the NIR Red LED therapy masks is going to be the critical difference between an individual ending up ever using or utilizing it on a regular basis - there's sufficient reason to suggest that during these treatment periods you may only find it practical or enjoyable if you are able to move more freely and not "stuck to the panel"

At the same time, you really don't need to spend more than 8 to 12 minutes facing the panel at a given time, it's cheaper than a mask(_) and has better output
Omnilux is great. the eye pad or small round face pad and not the face mask. Handier and cheaper. Eyes are the place most people need the light first. You can even use it on your forehead 11s. The small one can be used anywhere. Wait until you're 40 to bother with the full mask unless you have sun damage or heavy hyperpigmentation and you want to add light red therapy. Edit: Just a note for the full mask...the men's version is stronger and works deeper if you want more intense repair.
