Helloskin V3.0 Handset Comprehensive Instruction GuideUpdated 4 months ago
Your helloskin V3.0 LED Light Therapy Handset is a versatile, all-in-one device designed to address a variety of skin concerns. With its powerful LED light technology, advanced EMS, pulse, warmth, cool, and cleanse settings, this handset offers a fully customisable skincare experience to help you achieve your healthiest, most radiant skin.
In this guide, we’ve created a step-by-step routine incorporating all the available settings for a comprehensive skincare treatment. However, the real beauty of this device is its flexibility—you can adjust the settings to target your unique skincare needs.
While we prefer recommending the use of your handset in the evening, it can be used at any time during the day, even morning and night.
Step 1: Remove Makeup (if applicable)
If you're wearing makeup, begin your routine by using the helloskin Original Makeup Remover Puffs. These reusable puffs gently remove all traces of makeup with just lukewarm water, eliminating the need for additional makeup removal products. Simply soak your puff and use gentle strokes to wipe off all makeup from your face and neck. This prepares your skin for a deeper cleanse.
Step 2: Deep Cleanse Your Skin
After makeup removal, start your deep cleanse with Clean Mode and the Blue Light setting to purify and refresh your skin. Blue Light technology reduces inflammation, improves skin clarity, and helps prevent clogged pores. It’s an excellent option for anyone looking to maintain a clearer, more balanced complexion, while also being highly effective for those with acne-prone skin.
How to:
- Prepare the Handset:
- Remove the magnetic silver ring from the face of the handset and place a cotton pad on the face of the handset (included with the handset), then reattach the magnetic silver ring to secure it in place.
- Apply 1-2 pumps of the helloskin Cleanser onto the cotton pad. The lightweight gel formula of the helloskin cleanser ensures a thorough cleanse without over-lathering.
- Activate Clean Mode:
- Long press the power button to turn on your handset.
- With a short press of the power button, switch to Clean Mode.
- Use the light button to activate Blue Light therapy with warmth. This setting opens pores, allowing the micro-vibration technology to dislodge dirt and excess oils from deep within the skin while calming and soothing irritation.
- Cleanse Your Skin:
- Wet your face with lukewarm water.
- Glide the handset across your face and neck in circular, upward, and outward motions. Focus on areas needing extra care, such as the T-Zone or oily-prone areas. Continue for at least 30 seconds, or until the handset automatically switches off.
- Rinse and Finish:
- Turn off your handset and rinse your face and neck thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Pat your face and neck dry with a clean towel.
- Remove the magnetic ring, discard the used cotton pad, and wipe down the handset with a damp cloth. Be careful not to wet the handset.
Step 3: Nourish and Rejuvenate
Now that your skin is deeply cleansed, it’s the perfect time to apply serums or moisturiser to maximise the benefits of your helloskin V3.0 Handset. While it's not essential to apply a serum or moisturiser at this step, doing so will enhance the handset’s performance and provide the best results.
How to:
- Apply Your Serum:
- Apply a generous amount of your chosen serum or moisturiser to your face and neck (see below for tips on which product suits specific skin concerns).
- Activate Red Light Therapy:
- Switch to Red Light therapy to enhance product absorption and stimulate collagen production. Red Light improves skin texture and smoothness while helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The warmth generated from this light setting stimulates blood circulation, which can help with the movement of lymphatic fluids. This can aid in detoxification, reduce puffiness and improve overall texture.
- Activate Pulse Mode:
- Use the power button to switch to Pulse Mode. This warm treatment promotes better circulation and pushes active ingredients deep into the skin, supporting the benefits of red-light therapy.
- Nourish Your Skin:
- Glide the handset across your face and neck in smooth, upward, outward, and circular motions. Focus on areas where you want to reduce fine lines, such as the forehead, around the eyes, and mouth. Continue until the handset automatically switches off, which indicates that this part of the treatment session is complete, typically lasting around 5 minutes.
Best Serums during this step:
- Helloskin Retinol Serum (1% Retinol): Pair Red Light Therapy with Retinol to target fine lines and wrinkles. Retinol is best used in the evening as it can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Important: Retinol should not be used with other serums containing active ingredients, such as Hyaluronic Acid, as these can counteract each other. Always follow up with sunscreen the next day when using retinol.
- Helloskin Hyaluronic Acid Serum: Hydration is key when encouraging lymphatic drainage, as it helps keep the skin plump and healthy while the lymphatic system works to remove toxins. Hyaluronic acid provides intense hydration and soothes the skin, making it an excellent choice during this process.
- Helloskin Vitamin C Serum: This serum helps brighten the skin, reduce inflammation, and provide antioxidant protection. It can complement the benefits of lymphatic drainage by improving skin tone and helping to reduce puffiness.
Step 4: Tone and Tighten
Achieve a lifted and firmer appearance by using EMS Mode with the Green Light setting. This combination works to tone facial muscles, reduce puffiness, and improve skin elasticity, enhancing your natural contours.
How to:
- Apply Your Serum:
- Start by applying a generous amount of your chosen helloskin serum to your face and neck to support the toning effects.
- Activate EMS Mode and Green Light:
- Use the power button to switch to EMS Mode, and the light button to turn on the Green Light setting.
- EMS Mode works by stimulating facial muscles to lift and firm sagging skin, while the Green Light helps to brighten skin tone and reduce hyperpigmentation. It's normal for some users to experience a slight "zapping" sensation during EMS treatments, depending on your skin's sensitivity. You can easily adjust the intensity to suit your comfort level by pressing the top left button—4 bars indicate full power, while 1 bar represents the lowest setting.
- Tone Your Skin:
- Glide the handset across your face and neck in firm, upward, and outward motions. Pay attention to areas like the jawline and cheekbones, where you want to lift and firm. Use circular motions in areas prone to puffiness. Continue until the handset automatically switches off, which indicates that this part of the treatment session is complete, typically lasting around 5 minutes.
Best Serums:
- Hyaluronic Acid Serum: This serum helps lock in moisture and keeps the skin plump during this step.
- Vitamin C Serum: For hyperpigmentation concerns, use Vitamin C Serum with Green Light to inhibit melanin production and brighten skin tone.
Step 5: Refresh and Calm
Complete your skincare routine by using Ice Mode with the Blue Light setting to cool and soothe the skin. This step tightens pores, reduces puffiness, and locks in nutrients, making it perfect for calming irritation and inflammation.
How to:
- Apply Moisturiser:
- Apply a generous amount of helloskin face moisturiser to your face and neck to lock in hydration and nutrients.
- Activate Ice Mode and Blue Light:
- Activate Ice Mode to cool and refresh the skin.
- Use the light button to select Blue Light, especially beneficial for calming irritated or inflamed skin. This combination helps tighten pores and soothe sensitive or acne-prone skin.
- Refresh Your Skin:
- Glide the handset across your face and neck in gentle, upward, outward, and circular motions. Focus on areas prone to puffiness, like the under-eye area, or any zones showing signs of irritation. Continue until the handset automatically switches off, which indicates that this part of the treatment session is complete, typically lasting around 5 minutes.
Best Serums:
- Helloskin MultiEX BSASM Face Moisturiser: Designed to soothe and nourish your skin, this moisturiser works best with Ice Mode, helping to lock hydration deep into the pores for long-lasting moisture and protection.
Step 6: Customise Your Routine
With the helloskin V3.0 Handset, you can personalise your routine to address specific skin needs. While we recommend using the handset in the evening, it can be used at any time of day, including both morning and night. Below are recommendations on which serums and light settings work best for various skin concerns and when to use each mode.
Serums and Mode Pairings:
- Clean Mode & Blue Light (Best for mornings and evenings): Use with your helloskin cleanser to remove impurities and excess oil. Ideal for oily or acne-prone skin, as Blue Light helps to target bacteria and soothe irritation.
- Red Light (Best for evenings): Stimulates collagen production and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Perfect for pairing with helloskin Retinol Serum in the evening, as retinol should be applied before bed to prevent sun sensitivity.
- Green Light & EMS Mode (Can be used day or night): Helps brighten skin and reduce hyperpigmentation. Works best with helloskin Vitamin C Serum in the morning to inhibit melanin production and protect against free radical damage.
- Ice Mode & Blue Light (Can be used anytime, but ideal for post-skincare or mornings): Tightens pores, reduces puffiness, and soothes skin. Pair with the helloskin Hyaluronic Acid Serum for a refreshing, hydrating boost, the helloskin Anti-Acne Serum to calm inflammation and target acne-causing bacteria, or the helloskin MultiEX BSASM Face Moisturiser to lock in moisture and create a protective barrier for soothed, balanced skin.
