Resumen

Clinical study published in the scientific journal Cosmetics (MDPI, 2026, vol. 13, article 268), Q1 in Dermatology (JCR 2024), one of the most prestigious scientific journals in dermatology worldwide, titled “Instrumental Evaluation of Skin Structural Parameters After 56 Days of Use of a Home-Use LED Photobiomodulation Device”. It evaluates SKINVITY’s Silicone LED Mask, a home-use LED photobiomodulation device, combined with SKINVITY serum.

20 women aged 40 to 55 used the mask twice a day for 10 minutes per session, combined with SKINVITY serum, for 56 days. They were evaluated using reference instrumental equipment in dermatology (3D topography, high-frequency ultrasound, Cutometer, and Mexameter) at 28 and 56 days. The main result is a statistically significant 30.8% improvement in skin firmness after 56 days, with an excellent safety profile.

Publication

MDPI (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute) is a prestigious scientific publisher based in Basel (Switzerland) that publishes more than 400 peer-reviewed, open-access journals. Cosmetics is indexed in Scopus and Web of Science and is ranked Q1 in Dermatology in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR 2024, ranked 22nd out of 96 journals), meaning it is one of the most prestigious scientific journals in dermatology worldwide.

Methodology

  • Evaluating center: Dr. Goya Análisis S.L. Period: September to November 2023.
  • Participants: 20 healthy women aged 40 to 55 with visible wrinkles or imperfections, after 7 days without anti-aging products.
  • Protocol: 2 daily 10-minute sessions with the mask in red light mode at the maximum level, followed by the application of SKINVITY serum, for 56 days.
  • Design: open-label, single-center study, comparing results with baseline values. Measurements at D0, D28 and D56.
  • Equipment: 3D topography (AEVA-HE), high-frequency ultrasound (Ultrascan UC22), Cutometer MPA 580 and Mexameter MX18, in addition to dermatological assessment.
  • Analysis: One-way ANOVA with Tukey post hoc test.

Technology evaluated

  • LED photobiomodulation: red light (630 nm) and near-infrared light (830, 930 and 1072 nm). Spectroradiometry confirmed the red peak at 631 nm and infrared bands around 835 and 935 nm.
  • Irradiance: approximately 30 mW/cm² at maximum intensity, with an estimated fluence of 18 J/cm² per 10-minute session.
  • Format: flexible silicone mask for home use.

Results

  • Firmness: statistically significant improvement of 30.8% at 56 days (p = 0.03), measured with the Cutometer F4 (resistance to suction-induced deformation).
  • 68.75% of the participants improved their skin firmness at 28 and 56 days.
  • Exploratory analysis: positive numerical trends in improvements in elasticity, dermal density and wrinkle parameters were observed, without reaching statistical significance.

Self-assessment at the end of the study

  • 90% noticed an overall improved appearance of the skin and a more even skin tone.
  • 75% noticed a more rejuvenated appearance.
  • 100% overall satisfaction and 95% satisfaction with ease of use.

Safety

Excellent safety profile, with no relevant skin reactions. All participants completed the protocol. Only two mild and transient effects were reported: skin dryness in one case and a sensation of dry eyes in another. 95% did not notice any uncomfortable sensations.

How to cite

“Clinical study published in the scientific journal Cosmetics (MDPI, 2026), Q1 in Dermatology (JCR 2024).” This study supports the improvement in skin firmness after 56 days of using the Silicone LED Mask in combination with SKINVITY serum.

Conclusiones

The study published in Cosmetics (MDPI, 2026), a Q1 journal in Dermatology (JCR 2024) and one of the most prestigious in the world in this specialty, demonstrates a statistically significant improvement in skin firmness of 30.8% after 56 days of use of the Silicone LED Mask from SKINVITY, 2 daily sessions of 10 minutes combined with the SKINVITY serum.

The routine showed an excellent safety profile, with no relevant skin reactions, with 100% overall satisfaction and 95% satisfaction with ease of use.

In the exploratory analyses, positive trends were also observed in elasticity, dermal density, and wrinkle parameters. The results correspond to the combined use of the mask and serum.

Our study vs. the competition

To help you see our study in context, we compared it with two efficacy studies of facial LED masks from the same competitor brand: a 2024 laboratory report the brand publishes on its website, and a 2025 study published in October 2026 in Cosmetics, the same journal as ours. We have chosen not to name the brand, as what matters in this comparison is the type of evidence and the results obtained.

How to read this comparison. Our study and the competitor's 2025 study both passed peer review at Cosmetics, a Q1 journal in Dermatology, so anyone can read, check and cite them. The 2024 study, by contrast, is a report commissioned by the brand itself and shared on its website. Firmness is the only parameter all three studies measure with the same device (Cutometer, F4 parameter), and at 56 days our study shows the greatest improvement: +30.8% versus +24.5% and +17.0% for the other two. Bear in mind that the usage protocols are not the same, as shown in the “Duration and use” row.

The other parameters, such as elasticity, wrinkles or hydration, were measured with different devices in each study, which is why we do not compare them.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Study

Is SKINVITY's Silicone LED Mask scientifically proven?

Yes. A clinical study published in Cosmetics (MDPI, 2026), a peer-reviewed scientific journal ranked Q1 in Dermatology (JCR 2024), measured a statistically significant 30.8% improvement in skin firmness after 56 days of use, combined with SKINVITY serum.

How much does the LED mask improve skin firmness?

A 30.8% improvement at 56 days compared to the baseline value (p = 0.03), measured with Cutometer (F4 parameter). 68.75% of the participants improved their firmness at 28 and 56 days.

Is the Silicone LED Mask safe? Does it have side effects?

The study showed an excellent safety profile, with no relevant skin reactions. All participants completed the protocol, and there were only two mild and transient effects: skin dryness in one case and a sensation of dry eyes in another.

What wavelengths does the SKINVITY LED mask use?

The Silicone LED Mask combines five wavelengths: red light at 630 nm, blue light at 470 nm, and near-infrared light at 830, 930, and 1072 nm. The study used the red light mode, which emits red light (630 nm) and near-infrared light (830, 930, and 1072 nm), with an irradiance of approximately 30 mW/cm² and an estimated fluence of 18 J/cm² per 10-minute session.

Who conducted the clinical study on the Silicone LED Mask?

The instrumental evaluation was carried out by the independent center Dr. Goya Análisis. The article was authored by Dr. Mar Miñano Núñez (International University of La Rioja, UNIR, and Femtechnology S.L.). The study was sponsored by Femtechnology S.L., the company that owns SKINVITY.

Where can I read the full study?

It is open access, licensed under CC BY 4.0, so you can read it for free on the journal's website using its DOI, 10.3390/cosmetics13050268. On this page you will also find a summary of the methodology and results.

Does the Silicone LED Mask work without the SKINVITY serum?

The study evaluated the mask in combination with SKINVITY serum, so its results refer to that combined routine and not to the mask alone.

How long does it take to notice the effects of the LED mask?

In the study, measurements were taken at 28 and 56 days. 68.75% of the participants had already improved their firmness by day 28, and the average improvement of 30.8% corresponds to day 56.

How was the mask used in the clinical study?

Two 10-minute sessions a day, using red light mode at maximum intensity, followed by the application of SKINVITY serum, for 56 days.
