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.

“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 Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo emits at 415 nm, 633 nm, 830 nm. Both cover red and near-infrared, the two ranges with the strongest published evidence for skin.
- LED count
- The Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo carries more diodes: 504 against 236. 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 Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo 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 Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo runs 12 min (3 wavelengths + vibration).
- Fit and power
- CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2: flexible silicone; rechargeable clip-on controller. Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo: semi-rigid, cordless; cordless rechargeable.
Evidence notes
What the specifications don’t tell you
Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo
The Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo uses 504 LEDs at 415 nm, 633 nm, 830 nm, in sessions of 12 min.
Cites a 104-subject study, the largest the brand claims in the category — brand-run. The vibration is a comfort extra, not a skin mechanism.
Questions
Common questions
What is the main specification difference between the CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 and the Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo?
The CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 emits at 633 nm, 830 nm, 1072 nm. The Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo emits at 415 nm, 633 nm, 830 nm. Both cover red and near-infrared, the two ranges with the strongest published evidence for skin.
Only the CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 publishes an irradiance figure (~30 mW/cm²). The Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo 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 Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo?
The Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo carries more diodes: 504 against 236. 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 Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo FDA cleared?
CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2: FDA cleared · CE. Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo: FDA cleared · 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.
