The quick take: CurrentBody’s Series 2 LED Face Mask is the one I trust most after testing LED masks for several years — it’s the everyday, accessible alternative to the $1,000+ clinic-grade devices I also use, and it’s the only mask on the market that individually tests every LED for output accuracy. Below: how it actually works, how Series 2 compares to the original, my 30-day results, and (further down) how to get the best price during CurrentBody’s current sale.

I’ve used the original CurrentBody LED Mask for a few years and always felt it was solid — but the Series 2 has genuinely blown me away. It fits my face better, feels more powerful, and is far more practical to actually use day to day.

How to Determine If an LED Mask Actually Works

Three factors determine whether a mask is genuinely effective:

• Wavelength precision: the more precisely centered the wavelength activation, the better
• Skin coverage: an even, consistent dose of light across the entire treatment area
• Power over time: the total energy dose delivered over the treatment window

This is where Series 2 pulls ahead of nearly every mask I’ve tested: it delivers 20.3 mW/cm² (Red) and 11.8 mW/cm² (NIR), compared to roughly 1.5 mW/cm² (Red) and 1.4 mW/cm² (NIR) on many competitor masks.

Series 2 vs. Series 1: What Actually Changed

Here’s a concise breakdown of how the Series 2 is superior:

	Series 1	Series 2
LED count	132	236
Wavelengths	2 (Red, NIR)	3 (Red 633nm, NIR 830nm, Deep NIR 1072nm — targets deeper tissue up to 10mm, especially prone areas like under-eyes and around the mouth)
Efficacy testing	Standard	VERITACE — every LED individually tested for precision and effectiveness, with published proof (unique to CurrentBody)

Enhanced design and comfort: it actually feels so snug and wraps around the natural contours of the face. Series 2’s chin strap ensures I’m getting max efficacy around the very edges of my face, and the multi-way velcro straps ensure a secure fit. Eye inserts let me read or use my phone during sessions.

There’s also a convenient clip for clothing so I can mask while doing other things around the house, and a long-lasting battery that gets me through around 9–10 uses (10 minutes each) per charge.

What Is VERITACE?

VERITACE is CurrentBody’s own testing standard, and it’s genuinely unique in this category: every single LED in the mask is individually tested for precision before it ships. The biggest controversy around LED masks is whether the bulbs are actually strong enough to make a real difference — even though red light therapy itself is clinically well-supported. This added layer of testing is what gives me confidence the money isn’t being wasted on underpowered LEDs.

What Red Light Therapy Actually Does for Skin

I use my microcurrent and radiofrequency devices sparingly since those can be overused, but red light therapy is something I reach for as often as I can — it’s great for overall anti-aging and collagen production. Here’s why:

Stimulates Collagen Production

Red light penetrates deep into the skin and stimulates the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin — essential for skin repair and remodeling, helping to keep skin firm and smooth over time.

Promotes Cellular Repair and Turnover

The red and near-infrared light energy boosts ATP production, which powers cellular repair and renewal, encouraging the growth of healthy new skin cells.

Reduces Inflammation

Red light therapy has an anti-inflammatory effect, calming the skin and reducing redness, swelling, and discomfort — especially helpful around breakouts.

Improves Blood Flow

RLT enhances microcirculation, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the skin. This speeds up the skin’s ability to heal and regenerate properly.

My 30-Day Before and After Results

I used the mask consistently for 30 days for before-and-after photo purposes. I like to use the mask on bare skin without any skincare, but every so often I’ll use CurrentBody’s hydrogel masks. My skin is also quite used to LED light therapy, so sometimes I’ll do two rounds of 10 minutes back to back — but if you’re new to LED, I wouldn’t recommend this.

Overall, I’ve noticed brighter, more toned skin with an improvement in clarity as well. The blemishes left over from breakouts during my period seem to have healed faster too.

Creating a brand new, improved version of a product that already sells well is a massive undertaking that takes a lot of effort and investment. I think it goes to show how dedicated CurrentBody is to putting out the best product in the market.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Individually tests every LED via VERITACE — a level of transparency almost no other brand offers
• Significantly higher light intensity than most competitor masks (roughly 10x on Red/NIR output)
• Three wavelengths, including Deep NIR (1072nm) for deeper tissue penetration
• Comfortable, contoured fit with a chin strap for full coverage
• Eye inserts let you read or scroll during sessions
• Clip-on design means you can multitask while using it

Cons

• Price point is a real investment
• Battery lasts roughly 9–10 uses per charge, so frequent users will be recharging often
• 10 minutes a day is still a daily time commitment, which may not fit everyone’s routine

Who It’s For

• Someone who wants clinic-adjacent red light therapy results without a clinic-adjacent price tag
• Anyone building a consistent, at-home anti-aging or skin-clarity routine
• People who’ve tried budget LED masks and felt underwhelmed by the results
• Multitaskers who want to mask while reading, scrolling, or doing other things at home

Who Should Skip It

• Anyone pregnant or on photosensitizing medication should check with a doctor before use
• People wanting fast, dramatic results — this is a cumulative, consistent-use tool, not a one-and-done treatment
• Anyone not able to commit to regular 10-minute sessions a few times a week, since results depend on consistency
• Budget shoppers who just want basic LED exposure without needing precision-tested output

FAQ

How often should I use an LED mask?
Most people see the best results using it 3–5 times a week for 10 minutes per session, though daily use is generally considered safe for red/NIR light specifically.

Is CurrentBody’s Series 2 better than cheaper LED masks?
The main difference is power output and per-LED testing — Series 2 delivers roughly 10x the light intensity of many budget competitor masks, which directly affects how much of a real difference you’ll see.

Can I use skincare underneath the mask?
I personally use it on bare skin most sessions, occasionally layering CurrentBody’s own hydrogel mask underneath — check with the brand before layering other actives, since some ingredients (like retinoids) are generally advised against right before light therapy.

CurrentBody’s Labor Day Sale Is Here — Here’s How to Actually Save

Sale details below are accurate as of September 2026 and will be updated as new sales run — check the current offer before purchasing.

I get asked about my red light therapy routine more than almost anything else I post, so when CurrentBody’s Labor Day sale lands, I always make sure my readers know about it before it’s gone. This year’s sale runs September 1st–8th, 2026, and depending on how you shop, you can save either 20% or 28%. It doesn’t get bigger than this.

Two Ways to Save

CurrentBody is running two offers this Labor Day:

Offer	Discount	Best for
Buy any 2 devices	20% off	Mixing and matching devices you already know you want
Buy any pre-built bundle	28% off	Bigger overall savings if a curated bundle fits your needs

If you’re mixing and matching individual devices you already know you want, the 2-device offer gives you flexibility. If you’re open to one of CurrentBody’s curated bundles, the 28% off bundle pricing tends to save you more overall — so it’s worth comparing both before you buy.

These are the combos that are most popular:

Combo	2-Device (20% off)	Bundle (28% off)
Series 2 LED Face Mask + LED Hair Growth Helmet	$1,063.99 (save $265)	$955.99 (save $374)
Series 2 LED Face Mask + Neck and Décolletage LED Mask	$711.99 (save $178)	$639.99 (save $250)

As you can see, the bundle discount saves you noticeably more on both pairings — over $100 more in each case. If a pre-made bundle includes what you already wanted, that’s the better route.

Want pricing on a different device or a custom combo? CurrentBody’s team is fielding those directly — reach out to them to build your own kit.

The Bottom Line

Whether you go with the 20% off two-device offer or the 28% off bundle deal, this is one of the better CurrentBody sales I’ve seen this year. The sale runs through September 8th, 2026.
