PXL Mask started where most beauty companies don't — with 15+ years spent designing how light touches a variety of spaces. Then with the realization that the most important lighting canvas is our face.
"I spent 15+ years designing lighting for a variety of spaces. I realized that similar technologies can be used to enhance our skin — the most important lighting canvas is our face."
Alessa is a Lighting Certified (LC) professional and a WELL Accredited Professional, she built her career in commercial and architectural lighting — often with a focus for human-centric lighting. Alessa teaches a variety of lighting courses on Circadian Lighting, Lighting for Hospitals and how light affects our eyes as we age.
With a passion for skin care, Alessa was always exploring new treatments and technologies. The shift came when a dermatologist showed her a clinical study on red light therapy and its benefits for the skin. The science was solid and the data was there but the hardware was antiquated and software didn't exist. While one wavelength of light can be beneficial, you're not maximizing the effects of light therapy unless you use all colors and program the light where it needs to be.
She started PXL Mask in 2024 with the goal to bring commercial lighting technologies to the skincare world to maximize the benefits of light therapy through bespoke color therapies based on what our skin needs that day.
Every wavelength in PXL Mask exists because peer-reviewed dermatology says it should. Nothing's there to look futuristic on the box.
A treatment that's identical for every face is a treatment optimized for none of them. Mapping is the product.
The mask gets better the longer you own it — new plans, better algorithms, the same hardware.
PXL Mask is designed in New York and assembled at our facility in York, Pennsylvania. We chose domestic manufacturing for the same reason we chose per-pixel control — because the difference is real, and the people building it should be close enough to feel it.
