“Published irradiance” means the brand prints an output figure on its own product page. “FDA cleared” is not “FDA approved” — see the questions below.

Where they differ

Wavelengths
The CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 emits at 633 nm, 830 nm, 1072 nm. The Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro emits at 415 nm, 630 nm. The CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 covers both red and near-infrared, the two ranges with the strongest published evidence for skin; the Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro does not.
LED count
The CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 carries more diodes: 236 against 162. Diode count sets how evenly light reaches the face — a coverage figure, not an efficacy figure.
Published irradiance
Only the CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 publishes an irradiance figure (~30 mW/cm²). The Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro does not, so the dose the two masks deliver cannot be compared.
Regulatory
Neither prints a searchable 510(k) number; both state their clearance without one. These devices are FDA cleared, not FDA approved — clearance is a safety and manufacturing signal, not proof of results.
Session and modes
The CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 runs 10 min per session (single automatic programme). The Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro runs 3 min (red, blue or both).
Fit and power
CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2: flexible silicone; rechargeable clip-on controller. Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro: rigid hard shell; corded controller.

Evidence notes

What the specifications don’t tell you

CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2

The CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 uses 236 LEDs at 633 nm, 830 nm, 1072 nm, in sessions of 10 min.

Brand-sponsored device studies. 633/830 nm are well studied; 1072 nm has thinner independent literature.

Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro

The Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro uses 162 (100 red · 60 blue) LEDs at 415 nm, 630 nm, in sessions of 3 min.

Questions

Common questions

What is the main specification difference between the CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 and the Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro?

The CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 emits at 633 nm, 830 nm, 1072 nm. The Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro emits at 415 nm, 630 nm. The CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 covers both red and near-infrared, the two ranges with the strongest published evidence for skin; the Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro does not.

Only the CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 publishes an irradiance figure (~30 mW/cm²). The Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro does not, so the dose the two masks deliver cannot be compared.

Which has more LEDs, the CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 or the Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro?

The CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 carries more diodes: 236 against 162. Diode count sets how evenly light reaches the face — a coverage figure, not an efficacy figure.

Are the CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 and the Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro FDA cleared?

CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2: FDA cleared · CE. Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro: FDA cleared 510(k) · CE. Clearance under section 510(k) means the manufacturer showed substantial equivalence to a device already on the market and met safety standards — it is not FDA approval, and it is not evidence of efficacy.
