There are those who jump out of bed at the first ring. And then there are the others, for whom leaving the duvet is a real feat, especially when the sun has not yet risen. With the time change and mornings plunged into darkness, it’s hard to resist the call of the snooze button. Especially since the lack of natural light can disrupt our biological clock and affect our morale.
If you can’t make the sun rise earlier, why not recreate the first rays of light at home? This is precisely the idea that FOREO had with the UFO Advanced LED Lighthouse Panel. Behind this futuristic name hides an LED device that imitates the sunrise to make winter mornings a little less difficult. And that’s not all: faithful to its beauty DNA, the Swedish brand also intends to put it at the service of our skin. A welcome double promise.
An LED device that imitates the sunrise to wake you up gently
Forget the shrill ringtone that tears us from sleep. Here, everything comes down to light. Thanks to its Wake-up mode, the panel gradually changes the light wavelengths to reproduce the first light of the morning. The idea? Accompany waking up gently and promote alertness. In the evening, a change of atmosphere: Sleep mode diffuses warm tones inspired by the sunset, to gradually prepare the body for rest.
LED technology, an ally for our skin
Behind its dawn simulator appearance also hides a real treatment device. The panel brings together five wavelengths with different properties. Blue light (420 nm) is particularly studied for its action on the bacteria involved in acne, while amber (570 nm) is used here to target the appearance of redness. Red light (650 nm) focuses more on signs of aging, particularly fine lines and wrinkles. Two infrared wavelengths complete the package: at 850 nm, to support the skin’s repair mechanisms, and at 1064 nm, to act more deeply, with the aim of stimulating collagen production.
A new way to integrate light therapy into your beauty routine
The good surprise? Unlike devices that require you to remain stationary a few centimeters from their surface, this one focuses on freedom of movement. Equipped with Fresnel lenses, it diffuses concentrated light up to two meters away. Enough to consider a session while reading a few pages or working at your desk. Its price? 299 euros. And a perfect place between our alarm clock and our beauty essentials.
How does the FOREO dawn simulator work?
The UFO Advanced LED Lighthouse Panel gradually reproduces the first light of day thanks to its Wake-up mode. It allows you to accompany the alarm clock with a soft light rather than a sound alarm alone.
What are the benefits of LED light for the skin?
Depending on the wavelength used, LED light can help fade certain imperfections or improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Red light is particularly studied for its effects on skin aging, while blue light is used against certain forms of acne.
Does a sunrise simulator really help you wake up better?
By gradually increasing brightness, a dawn simulator can ease the transition between sleep and wakefulness. However, its effectiveness varies depending on people and their sleeping habits.
Can we use the FOREO device every day?
The frequency of use depends on the mode chosen and the manufacturer’s recommendations. For LED treatment sessions, it is important to respect the indicated exposure times in order to avoid excessive use.
What is the difference between an LED mask and the UFO Advanced LED Lighthouse Panel?
An LED mask is worn directly on the face during the session. FOREO’s device takes the form of a light panel that can operate up to two meters away, without direct contact with the skin.
