Launching Photira on Product Hunt this Tuesday

Hey PH community! I'm launching Photira this Tuesday (July 28) an FDA-cleared (510(k) K254007) LED light therapy mask with red, blue, and near-infrared modes, priced at $199 instead of the usual $400-500+ for clearance-backed masks.

Before launch day, I'd love to hear from anyone who's used LED masks before: what made you trust (or not trust) a brand's FDA claims? And what's the biggest friction point in choosing one?

Photira - FDA-cleared LED mask with 3 wavelengths, at half the price

Photira is an FDA-cleared (510(k) K254007) LED light therapy face mask combining red, blue, and near-infrared wavelengths in a single device. Most LED masks are either uncleared with unverified claims, or FDA-cleared and priced at $400-500+. Photira brings the same clearance-backed technology — 144 medical-grade LEDs, three light modes for wrinkles and mild-to-moderate acne — to $199.
