The Solawave wand is a small handheld device that combines red light, gentle warmth, facial massage and galvanic current. The routine is short, about three minutes per area, which makes it easier to keep up than a full LED mask session.
Short verdict: a good fit if you want a quick, targeted routine for areas like the under-eyes, forehead and jawline. It covers a small area at a time, so it’s not a replacement for a full-face LED mask.
Pros
- Four functions in one device
- 630 nm red light
- Three minutes per area

How We Evaluated It
We reviewed Solawave’s product information and the Amazon listing at the time of writing. We haven’t evaluated this wand in person.

How long should I use the Solawave wand?
The listing suggests about three minutes per area, daily.
Do I need a serum?
For the galvanic function, use a water-based serum or gel.
Can I use it around my eyes?
Many people use it under the eyes. Keep it off the eyelids and follow the manual.
Is Solawave better than an LED mask?
