At the National Assembly Health and Welfare Committee’s audit in October 2019, there was an opinion that safety standards should be established for LED masks, which are classified as industrial products. In response, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety held a meeting with LED mask companies on October 31 to discuss countermeasures. Until now, LED masks have been classified as beauty devices, and only the batteries were required to obtain the national integrated certification (KC mark) under the Electrical Appliances and Household Goods Safety Control Act. The reason LED masks are now subject to safety standard tests similar to medical devices is due to concerns about their safety.
LED masks, known to help improve skin like high-end cosmetics, have become the optimal home beauty device for busy modern people. As a result, the LED mask market has shown high growth rates every year, with products ranging from mid-to-low priced models around 100,000 won to high-end products costing over 1 million won. Among the various LED masks equipped with diverse ideas and functions, the product recently attracting public attention is the ZWC “All-in-One Total Beauty Care O2LED System” applied in the “Face & Body Mask (Oxygen LED Dome)” released by Zaigle.
The ZWC “O2LED System” prioritizes user safety unlike existing LED masks. Existing products, worn in mask form, adhere closely to the skin, causing discomfort and irritation due to close contact care. However, the “Face & Body Mask (Oxygen LED Dome)” with the ZWC “O2LED System” features a dome structure design that secures a “safe distance,” initially mitigating side effects such as heat sensation, eye damage, and skin irritation caused by LED exposure. Secondly, it blocks even minor “glare” through protective eyewear, ensuring excellent safety. Additionally, high-concentration purified oxygen is emitted together, providing effective skin improvement and cooling from the oxygen, which also reduces the risk of “low-temperature burns” caused by heat sensation.
The ZWC “Face & Body Mask (Oxygen LED Dome)” is uniquely developed by Zaigle, an oxygen-specialized company, with innovative “Oxygen LED” technology. Besides KC certification, it applies harmless “blue wavelength” to the human body and has received photobiological safety certification from KTL.
Having passed international LED photobiological safety standard tests and 83 related clinical trials, the ZWC “Face & Body Mask (Oxygen LED Dome)” proves outstanding efficacy and safety. It also shows high satisfaction regarding its effects and benefits, with various customer reviews posted on the ZWC website. Customer service has also received high praise from many consumers by resolving A/S and C/S issues previously raised by some rental service companies through diversified service channels and nationwide distribution network operations.
