Say hello to Heliored.

15 minutes. The device has a built-in timer that switches the LEDs off automatically when the session ends.

At least three times a week. If you are also whitening, use it daily for two weeks alongside Helioblue, then drop back to weekly maintenance.

Clinical studies in this area typically run four weeks at minimum and often twelve. Judge it over months rather than days, and track something concrete such as whether bleeding when you clean between your teeth changes over time.

The mouthpiece is flexible rather than rigid, so it accommodates a wide range of mouth sizes. If you are unsure, email us and we will send more photos and video before you order.

The Heliored dual light therapy mouthpiece, a UV sterilising charging case, a USB-C charging lead and a 300mAh rechargeable battery.

Use a soft brush on the mouthpiece end only, and do not submerge the device in water. Place it in the case when the battery is dead and charge it to activate the UV sterilisation. The UV cycle supports hygiene but does not replace physical cleaning.

Dry the mouthpiece, place it in the case and connect the charger. UV sterilisation runs automatically while the device charges.

The device uses low-level LED light at wavelengths studied in dental research, and sessions are limited by a built-in timer. That said, if you are pregnant, taking photosensitising medication, have a light-sensitive condition, or are under the care of a dentist or doctor for an oral health issue, check with them before starting.

Photobiomodulation, or PBM, is what happens when specific wavelengths of light are absorbed by your cells and change how they behave. Red light is absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase, an enzyme in your mitochondria, which supports cellular energy production. It has been studied in dentistry for decades, mostly as an adjunct alongside conventional treatment. Full detail on our technology page.

625nm red light sits in the absorption range of cytochrome c oxidase and is well matched to gum tissue. 470nm blue light works by a different mechanism: it is absorbed by porphyrins produced by certain oral bacteria, and it is the wavelength that activates the PAP formula in Helioblue.

There is substantial evidence that red light affects oral tissue in measurable ways, with well-characterised effects on blood flow and inflammation. In some dental applications photobiomodulation appears in international clinical guidelines. It works alongside brushing, cleaning between your teeth and regular dental care rather than replacing them. Read the evidence.

No. Gum recession is structural tissue loss and no home device reverses it. What it may help with is the inflammation that drives further recession, which means protecting the tissue you still have. More here.

No. Periodontitis needs professional assessment and treatment. Photobiomodulation has been studied as an adjunct to conventional periodontal care, meaning alongside it. If you have pockets over 4mm you need a dentist. Gingivitis vs periodontitis.

Neither. It uses PAP (phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid), a peroxide-free oxidising agent, with hydroxyapatite to support enamel remineralisation.

Peroxide is the usual cause of whitening sensitivity, and there is none in Helioblue. PAP oxidises the same stain molecules without the free-radical activity that drives that sensitivity, and hydroxyapatite adds mineral back to the enamel surface as you whiten.

You will get far more out of it with one. The formula is designed to be activated by 470nm blue light, and the mouthpiece also holds the gel against the tooth surface rather than letting saliva dilute it or spread it onto your gums.

PAP is substantially gentler and suits sensitive teeth, and a brush-on applicator is far less faff than trays or strips. Full comparison here.

Roughly five to seven applications, depending on how much you use each time.

Cap it and keep it at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.

Coconut-mint. It is designed to be pleasant enough for daily use rather than a treatment you have to endure.
