Are Red Light Therapy Masks HSA/FSA Eligible?
Red light therapy masks—designed to rejuvenate and repair skin using non-infrared light—are illuminating new ways to prioritize skincare and recovery. Butdo red light therapy masks work? Their noninvasive beams can penetrate deeply into the skin, helping to reduce fine lines, signs of aging, and acne damage.1
If you're looking to purchase one, you might be wondering: Are red light therapy masks HSA-eligible and FSA-eligible?
The answer will depend on several factors, but, fortunately, many red light therapy devices can be purchased using your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds.
Are Lifepro Red Light Therapy Masks HSA/FSA Eligible?
Think of your HSA and FSA as wellness piggy banks—pre-tax funds set aside specifically for health-related expenses. These accounts help you invest in medical treatments and trinkets without dipping into your regular budget.
So, is a red light therapy mask FSA-eligible and HSA-eligible at Lifepro? The answer is yes—our masks are HSA/FSA eligible, thanks to our partnership with Truemed.
Truemed specializes in making it easier for consumers to use their pre-tax health benefits on health and wellness products that qualify as medical expenses. When you shop with Lifepro, you can use your HSA or FSA card directly or get reimbursed for your purchase, making it a convenient and cost-effective way to invest in your skin and overall wellness. Plus, you’ll be eligible for 12 months.2
How to Check If Your Red Light Therapy Mask Qualifies for HSA/FSA Funds
While Lifepro’s red light therapy masks qualify, not all brands are automatically FSA or HSA eligible.
Generally, however, light therapy is eligible under both HSA and FSA guidelines.3,4
Here’s how you can ensure your purchase is eligible.
1. Confirm with Your HSA/FSA Provider
Every HSA and FSA provider maintains its own list of eligible expenses, and policies can vary.
Before purchasing a red light therapy mask, check with your provider or browse their official eligibility list online.
In some cases, your provider may require a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) from a healthcare professional to approve reimbursement.5 That said, if you’re using the mask to treat a specific medical condition—such as acne, chronic pain, or wound healing—it’s a good idea to discuss it with your doctor beforehand to approve the treatment.
2. Look for an HSA/FSA-Eligible Retailer
Not all red light therapy masks are automatically covered, so it’s important to choose a trusted brand that explicitly states its products are HSA/FSA eligible.
Lifepro makes it clear which of its products qualify, making your purchase process seamless—just look for Truemed in your payment options during checkout.
Otherwise, if you’re unsure whether a product is eligible, reach out to the retailer’s customer support before buying.

3. Save Your Receipt for Reimbursement
If your HSA or FSA card isn’t accepted at checkout, you can still purchase your red light therapy mask using another payment method and submit a reimbursement request.
Make sure your receipt clearly includes the following:
- The product name
- The price
- The date of purchase
- The retailer’s name
This documentation will help ensure a smooth reimbursement process with your provider.
4. Check for Medical Justification Requirements
Some HSA/FSA plans require a doctor’s note or LMN to confirm that red light therapy is being used for a medical condition.
Conditions that might justify coverage include:
- Chronic pain relief
- Inflammation reduction
- Acne treatment
- Wound healing and skin repair
If required, schedule an appointment with your physician to have the necessary documentation on hand before submitting your claim.
When buying a Lifepro product through Truemed, customers are prompted to complete a health assessment that’s reviewed by the licensed provider to determine their eligibility.2
