Halfway through my evaluation of the Shark Cryoglow, I can confidently declare my enthusiasm for this plumping, eye-rejuvenating LED face mask.
The Shark Cryoglow LED face mask is making waves in the skincare industry, combining red, blue, and near-infrared light therapies with under-eye cooling cryotherapy. This innovative device promises to improve skin appearance by stimulating collagen production, reducing inflammation, treating acne, and diminishing fine lines and puffiness.
The Shark Cryoglow offers four treatment modes targeting various skin concerns such as aging signs, blemishes, and skin brightness maintenance. It stands out with its unique InstaChill cooling system, featuring controllable under-eye cooling metal pads that reduce puffiness and dark circles through cryotherapy.
Clinical studies and long-term effects
While there are positive but varied results in collagen stimulation, reduction of fine lines, acne treatment, and skin firmness, there are few clinical studies specifically on LED face masks, including the Shark Cryoglow. Most data come from general LED phototherapy research rather than Shark Cryoglow-specific trials.
User reviews and independent testing suggest noticeable improvements in skin texture, wrinkle softness, and under-eye tightness, often within weeks and sometimes feeling immediate. However, there is limited insight into the long-term effects of regular LED face mask use.
Design and performance
The Shark Cryoglow features two elasticated straps that go across the top and sides of the head, making it more comfortable than wraparound straps. It also has extra optical cooling covers to bring the under-eye pads closer to the face if needed.
Each treatment lasts less than 10 minutes, making it a quick and convenient option for busy individuals. The field of view afforded by the Shark Cryoglow is narrow, which can take some getting used to for some users.
The Shark Cryoglow comes with a handheld remote for controlling treatment cycles, cooling, and tracking progress. It has three different temperature settings for the cooling pads to account for different skin sensitivities.
Personal experience
During my personal testing, the Shark Cryoglow has shown promising results. After just a few weeks of use, I've noticed reduced under-eye bags, improved discoloration, increased elasticity, and improved acne.
However, one of my only complaints so far is that the battery life of the Shark Cryoglow is sub-par, needing charging after three or four treatments.
In summary, while the Shark Cryoglow shows promising short-term benefits based on general LED phototherapy science and user experience, there is a lack of formal long-term clinical studies specifically on this device, and research on LED face masks overall remains in early stages. Despite this, the Shark Cryoglow is on track to win me over with its innovative design and noticeable improvements in my skin.
