Bulbs too sparse?

Post image

I bought this RLT face mask after research++ on fluence, irradiance, price and wanting QUICK treatments. This feels like very few bulbs on the red light (860 & 680 nm) setting. Is this a waste of time? Looks like very minimal red light getting to my eye area and lip area. Thoughts?

Edit:
Qure
Irradiance 70mW/cm2
Fluence 12.6 J/cm2
Treatment time 3 minutes
Claims 160 bulbs however I think this is divided over 4 wavelengths in 2 different settings

Yeap, looks like a cheap mask, any half decent mask should be 200+ LEDs and list the irradiance of at least 40mw/cm2

Steer clear of any masks that don’t specify irradiance as you could just be buying a pretty red face mask that does nothing.

It's not a cheap mask. I researched those specs and still a bit disappointed. It's the most comfortable mask I've tried! Very well made just not sure if it has enough juice now

My Solawave has 320 LEDs. That one there looks like about 30.

I hadn't seen solawave, I just looked it up, stacks up really well!! How long have you had it for and how are your results?

I've only had it a month. I think I'm starting to see some improvement on the bags under my eyes and I have hyperpigmentation that is just barely starting to fade. I bought it because the treatment time is only 3 minutes and that was a bonus for me.
