How to Clean and Maintain Your LED Face Mask (And Make It Last Longer)

An LED face mask or facial wand is an investment — most LUMILUX devices are built to last years of regular use, but a little care goes a long way toward keeping the light output even, the surface hygienic, and the electronics reliable. Here's how to look after your device properly, whatever type you own.

General Cleaning Rules for Any LED Device

Before cleaning any electronic beauty device, always switch it off and, if it's rechargeable, disconnect it from power. Never submerge an LED mask, wand, or brush in water — even devices that feel splash-resistant around the handle usually have sealed electronics that aren't designed for full immersion.

• Wipe the surface with a soft, dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth after each use to remove serum, oil, or sweat residue
• Use a mild, alcohol-free cleanser on a cotton pad for a deeper clean of silicone masks like the InfraLux Pro or DermaLux 7-Color LED Therapy Spa
• Avoid harsh solvents, abrasive sponges, or anything containing bleach — these can degrade silicone and cloud plastic lenses over time
• Let the device air-dry fully before storing or charging it

Caring for Silicone Masks and Facial Arches

Devices like the LumiSpa 7-Color LED Therapy Skin Care Arch and the DermaLux spa have silicone or plastic surfaces that sit directly on skin, so they benefit from a wipe-down after every session rather than just occasionally. A gentle, fragrance-free cleanser removes oil buildup without breaking down the material.

Caring for Wands and Multi-Function Tools

Facial wands such as the UltraCleanse 6-in-1, LUMILUX Medicube Age-R Booster Pro, and LumiWave High Frequency Wand combine metal or ceramic plates with electronic components, so focus cleaning on the treatment head only, using a barely damp cloth, and keep moisture away from any charging ports or seams.

Caring for Brushes and Scalp Tools

Hair and scalp tools like TheraBrush and LumiScalp Pro pick up oil residue from the built-in applicator as well as everyday product buildup. Wipe the bristles clean after each use and rinse the oil chamber occasionally with warm water, drying it fully before refilling.

Battery and Charging Care

To protect the rechargeable battery in any LUMILUX device, avoid letting it sit fully depleted for long periods, store it somewhere cool and dry rather than a steamy bathroom cabinet, and use only the charging cable it came with.

How often should I clean my device?

A quick wipe after every session is ideal, with a deeper clean using a gentle cleanser once a week if you use your device daily.
