CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2, reviewed.
The premium-tier runner-up at AU$595, 236 LEDs of red 633nm plus near-infrared 830nm against the flexible silicone format that beat the rigid frame two years ago. The mask the panel reached for when jaw-line coverage mattered most.

The verdict
CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 is the premium-tier runner-up at AU$595. 236 LEDs against the original's 132, red 633nm plus NIR 830nm, the closest jaw-line fit on the panel. GLOW Score 9.1/10, the pick when LED density matters most. Omnilux Contour Face sits one Glow point above on published evidence depth; both at the same AU$595. Read the full Omnilux vs CurrentBody head-to-head.
Who it's for.
The reader who wants the densest LED coverage on the market without leaving the flexible silicone format. Concern profile: fine lines, dullness, diffuse redness, tone unevenness, and any concern that benefits from coverage across the lower jaw and side cheek the rigid masks step over. Fitzpatrick II through VI, panel-cleared. Routine slot: 10 minutes before bed, three to five times a week.
It is the mask we recommend when the reader has a longer jaw or higher cheekbone where Dr Dennis Gross's rigid frame leaves gaps. It is the mask we recommend when LED density is the variable the reader is optimising for. It is the mask Omnilux readers cross-shop and frequently keep instead.
Who should skip.
Acne-prone readers needing a 415nm blue-light spec: Dr Dennis Gross SpectraLite instead. Readers who want the deepest publicly cited clinical evidence body: Omnilux Contour Face instead. Readers spending under AU$400 on their first LED device: The Skin Boutique mid-tier mask at $299. Pregnancy, active retinoid prescription without dermatologist sign-off, photosensitising medications, broken or sunburnt skin: pause and consult.
The spec.
Wavelengths: red 633nm plus near-infrared 830nm, the same spec pair Omnilux runs. The 633nm wavelength is cited in Wunsch & Matuschka (2014) on red light and fibroblast response; the 830nm near-infrared reaches deeper into the dermal layer per the photobiomodulation literature (Hamblin, 2017).
LED count: 236 LEDs, the meaningful upgrade against the original Series 1's 132 LEDs and against most rigid-frame competitors. Higher LED density translates to more even surface coverage and lower per-LED output, which the manufacturer cites as a comfort improvement for sensitive-skin panellists.
Irradiance: as published by the manufacturer. Session: 10 minutes hands-free. Cadence: three to five sessions a week. Power: internal rechargeable, USB-C.
Fit: flexible silicone moulds across face shapes; the manufacturer cites jaw-line coverage as the design focus on the Series 2 refresh. Five-tone panel: no fit gaps reported, the lower-jaw coverage was the differentiator against Omnilux on three of five panellists.
Regulatory: TGA-listed Class IIa medical device. FDA Class II cleared. CE marked.
Expected results.
Manufacturer-published trial data on the Series 2 mask reports first visible response at three to five weeks of consistent five-times-a-week use, with the larger fine-line and tone improvement at the eight-to-twelve-week mark. Per the manufacturer's published independent panel work (United Kingdom, 2024), 95% of panellists reported improved skin texture and tone at the 12-week mark.
GLOW does not publish before-and-after photography for LED masks under the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code. Mechanism: photobiomodulation, with mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase as the primary chromophore for the 633nm and 830nm light. Individual response varies with Fitzpatrick type, baseline collagen and concurrent skincare.
Pros + cons.
What works.
- 236 LEDs, highest density in the premium tier.
- Best jaw-line coverage in the test.
- Flexible silicone fits across Fitzpatrick II to VI.
- TGA-listed, FDA-cleared, CE-marked.
- USB-C rechargeable, no wall tether.
- CurrentBody DTC channel ships AU directly with consistent pricing.
What's missing.
- Cited clinical evidence depth runs behind Omnilux.
- No blue-light spec for acne, Dr Dennis Gross owns that axis.
- AU$595 puts it in the premium tier, not the first-device price point.
- Three-to-five times a week, not daily.
- Manufacturer-published irradiance only.
The alternatives.
If evidence depth matters most: Omnilux Contour Face at AU$595, GLOW Score 9.3. Same wavelengths, fewer LEDs, deeper publicly cited clinical body. See Omnilux vs CurrentBody for the head-to-head.
If acne is the brief: Dr Dennis Gross SpectraLite at AU$650, the blue-light spec at 415nm.
If budget is the brief: The Skin Boutique LED Light Therapy Mask at AU$299.
