How to Choose the Best LED Mask – Testing the Series 2 LED Mask by CurrentBody Skin

Series 2 LED Mask by CurrentBody Skin Review | AD

LED masks have become increasingly popular over the past few years. There are many brands making them and lots of models to choose from, but not all LED masks are created equal. All the options can cause choice overload when trying to choose the best LED mask. In this guide, we will be cutting through the noise to get to the facts about LED masks to help you make an educated decision when investing in an LED mask. 

The Importance of LED Placement

One of the most important aspects when looking at how well at-home LED therapy will work, is LED placement within the mask. For the LEDs to work well, they need to be placed regularly, evenly, and across the whole face. Any gaps in the LED positioning will cause uneven results and missed treatment zones. 

You don’t want too many LEDs in a mask either as that can overstimulate and overheat the skin – without enhancing the results. 

Balance is key – you need enough LEDs that are placed correctly for full coverage without overstimulation. LED bulbs emit a 60° light spread which means that when they are positioned regularly, the beams will overlap beneath the skin, offering complete coverage. 

Comparing LED Placement Between Different Brands

Here, you can see a comparison of the coverage offered by different brands available. As you can see, the coverage varies hugely between the brands compared. Some of the brands have large spaces in the mask or features of the mask that mean that there is no light reaching key areas of the face. Additionally, many of the others have LEDs that are too widely spaced which means that the mask doesn’t offer even, complete coverage. 

The Series 1 version from CurrentBody Skin has been very popular in the LED mask market. In September 2024, the new Series 2 LED Mask from CurrentBody launched with exciting improvements such as extended chin coverage, increased eye, mouth and nose coverage and even, increased LED coverage across the face:

• The LEDs are evenly distributed across the face for full coverage.
• Every zone receives the same power and wavelength for an even treatment.
• There are no dark spots or weaker areas for full coverage and even results.
• The LEDs are precisely spaced to optimise light overlap and absorption beneath the surface of the skin. 
• The smart design of the mask ensures optimal power without any unnecessary risk. 

The Series 2 LED Mask from CurrentBody also has a flexible fit which means that more light reaches the skin. Many of the other brands have a rigid shape that doesn’t mold to the face.

Precision & Testing

The quality of the LEDs used in red light therapy face masks is another aspect that matters hugely. Many brands claim that their LEDs are accurate within ±5nm but when tested, most masks show big variations in wavelength output – which can lead to inconsistent and unreliable results. When there are variations in wavelength output, this means that some areas of the face will receive the optimal treatment while other areas won’t.

The only way to guarantee effectiveness is to test each individual LED, ensuring every LED is consistent in both power and wavelength. CurrentBody is currently the only brand who checks every single LED and that’s how you know it is the highest quality on the market. You can even trace the testing through the Veritace NFC card in each device – this step sets a unique standard of guaranteed quality for beauty tech.

My Experience Testing the CurrentBody Series 2 LED Mask

When I spotted the new release of the CurrentBody LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 2, I was excited straight away. The improved LED layout and the added chin strap looked like the perfect upgrades to me – and they haven’t disappointed! 

CurrentBody Series 2 LED Mask – Features

Before we get into my results, let’s look at the features of the CurrentBody LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 2.

This mask has 236 LEDs that emit the 3 most clinically recognised wavelengths for anti-ageing, penetrating up to 10mm into the skin:

• Red light (633nm) which boosts collagen production and reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
• Near-infrared (830nm) which energises cells for firmer, tighter and brighter skin.
• Deep near-infrared (1072nm) which targets areas where signs of aging are more pronounced as well as boosts collagen production deep under the skin. 

Thanks to the above, you can reduce the visible signs of aging, with fewer/less obvious lines and wrinkles and brighter, smoother skin in just 4 weeks. 

Version 2 Upgrades

We’ve already explored some of the V2 upgrades above – the extra LED bulbs and the improved layout, as well as an added chin strap for better, full-face coverage. The new near-infrared light also helps supercharge the results. 

Other improvements to make use even easier and more comfortable include:

• The mask is made from flexible liquid silicone contours to every face for improved coverage.
• A new multiway strap that goes over your head and around the back of the head for a secure fit and maximum comfort.
• A clip-on controller so that you can use the mask on the go with ease. 
• Optimal eye inserts to make reading/scrolling/watching TV with your device on even easier and more comfortable. 

CurrentBody Series 2 LED Mask – My Results

I’m in my first month of testing the V2 mask and I’m already seeing results that I am very happy with. I’ve been testing the CurrentBody Series 2 LED Mask for 3 weeks now, using it 5 times per week for 10 minutes as recommended. It’s a completely painless treatment and I enjoy taking this time to relax, making the whole experience feel even more like a treat. 

A bit of background about my skin. I’m 37 years old and would describe my skin as combination skin. I still experience hormonal breakouts (mainly on my chin and jawline) but now also have skin that can feel dry. I also, naturally, have signs of ageing – lines, some wrinkles (hello frown lines!) and uneven skin tone. 

I am a busy mum of three young daughters and also run my own business which means I have very little time to myself. Though I love skincare and pampering, it’s not something I make a priority every day (even though I know I should). Sometimes, I’m simply too tired which is why keeping it simple is important for me. 

Fitting in using the CurrentBody Series 2 LED Mask has been quite easy. I decided which 5 days per week I was going to use it and made sure it happened. Before use, you wash your face to ensure it’s free from products and afterwards you do the rest of your skincare routine. Easy! 

Now for my results! One of the main things I have noticed is that I have not had a single breakout since starting this treatment which is amazing. Normally, I get a few spots around my period, ovulation and when travelling but I haven’t had any at all during this testing phase. And my hormones have been all over the place and I have done international travel which usually always causes spots for me. I’ve also been wearing sunscreen which is another thing that can sometimes cause breakouts for me. Since my breakouts are usually on my chin and jawline, I believe that the improved coverage of the V2 mask with the chin strap has been very beneficial for my skin. 

I’ve also been asked for ID when purchasing a bottle of bubbly for a wedding present and had several people tell me my skin is glowing. I’m definitely happy with that! 

Additionally, I can also see an improvement in skin texture and improved healing of marks from previous spots which is great. I’m very excited to keep using my CurrentBody Series 2 LED Mask. My above results came within just 3 weeks of use so I can’t wait to see what more long-term use can bring.
