Records FDA files under its code for over-the-counter light-based acne devices. Most are blue or blue-and-red LED masks, patches and wands; individual records can list other or additional uses.
51 records from 2009 to 2026, filed by 43 companies. 8 of the device names as filed include the word "mask". We quote the indications for use for 22 of them from FDA's PDFs.
What FDA's code OLP covers
FDA device name
“Over-The-Counter Powered Light Based Laser For Acne”
FDA definition
“The device is intended for over-the-counter (otc) use to treat patients with mild to moderate acne vulgaris. The device is intended to emit energy in the red and blue region of the spectrum, specifically indicated to treat mild to moderate acne vulgaris.”
Physical state
“Light Source”
Technical method
“The outputs are pre-tuned to a particular wavelength with a narrow spectral bandwidth.”
Target area
“Mainly on the face, but can be on the back or on the other parts of the body. Treatment area is 5x6 cm (at a time.)”
Regulation
21 CFR 878.4810: “Laser surgical instrument for use in general and plastic surgery and in dermatology.” This regulation covers laser and light instruments for general and plastic surgery and dermatology broadly; the product code is what narrows it to over-the-counter use.
Each record is one FDA decision about the device named in it, for the use in its indications statement. The company that filed may be the brand on the box or the manufacturer that makes it for the brand.
Records are grouped by FDA product code; a record's own indications can be narrower, broader or different from the group name, so read each one. We quote an indications statement only when it comes from a text page of FDA's PDF (not a scan) and every word checks out; otherwise the entry says why and links the PDF, which is the authority.
