Shark CryoGlow FW312
The Shark CryoGlow FW312 is an LED light therapy mask using 415 · 630 · 830 nm. The manufacturer lists a session of Programme-dependent (8 min in baseline source) and a reference price of US$349.99. Its FDA 510(k) record is K242796 (record names this device).
Why it is notable
Shark brought mainstream engineering to LED masks: the CryoGlow combines blue, red and near-infrared light with a cooling under-eye panel no other device here offers, and its FDA record names the CryoGlow family directly.
Suited to: Wanting blue, red and near-infrared in one mask; Interest in under-eye cooling.

How LED light therapy mask works
An LED mask covers the face with many light-emitting diodes. The light is not intended to heat skin. Red and near-infrared light are studied for photobiomodulation, which may increase collagen; 415 nm blue light is studied for acne because it affects acne bacteria.
No heat-based injury; sessions are passive and hands-free.
