This mask shines red and blue visible light onto the face, the red to reduced inflammation and the blue to kill acne bacteria. It is powered by four AA cells in an “activator” which provides thirty, ten minute, sessions. Despite promotional advertising which would suggest otherwise, the limit of thirty sessions is simply a ploy to require you to make ongoing purchases to continue to use the device. The batteries are replaceable, there is no evident reason for the “activator” to wear out, or degrade in performance after any number of uses, let alone thirty.

Online there is a video showing an extremely crude hack to the activator, which wires the device “on” continually while plugged in (basically shorting out all the control circuitry). No power control, no timer (ie no safe-guards). The product has been withdrawn due to possible eye hazards to some people (it has a built in amber filter in front of the eyes, that provides little protection the light can reach the eyes passing directly underneath it), obviously using the device for an unlimited time (rather than 10 minutes), would greatly increase any hazard.
