Using Your Mask Without the App

You don't need the app to get a great session in. The mask is fully controllable on its own with just a few simple taps.


Powering On

Press and hold the button on the mask for one second until it lights up. That's it — you're on.


Selecting a Color

Once the mask is on, short taps cycle through each individual light color. The color will stay fixed for the duration of your session.

See the LED Color Guide for a breakdown of what each color targets.


Activating Auto Mode

For a multi-color treatment program, use a longer tap and release (no need to press hard — just a slightly extended touch). This activates Auto Mode, which cycles through a sequence of colors during your session, just like the preset programs in the app.

To cycle through the different Auto Mode presets, continue using the same longer tap. Don't be surprised when the color changes mid-session — that's the mode working as intended.


Session Length

Without the app, each session runs for 10 minutes and then automatically stops. This applies to both the mask and the neck plate.

If you want to go longer or adjust intensity, you'll need to connect the app. See Installing the App & Pairing Your Mask to get set up.
