CurrentBody vs Omnilux (or Omnilux vs CurrentBody): which LED mask to buy
By Kirill Gissa · Published · Prices checked Oct 8, 2026Want a third, deeper near-infrared wavelength? CurrentBody Series 2: it adds 1072 nm to the same 633 and 830 nm pair, with 236 LEDs against Omnilux's 132. Read the reliability complaints first, though: on Amazon, 43 of 79 reviews that discuss it are negative. Want to pay less, or add a neck mask later? Omnilux Contour Face: $74.99 cheaper, cleared since 2019, and Omnilux sells a neck and décolleté mask with its own clearance. Want blue light for breakouts? Neither; look at the CurrentBody Series 3.

FDA and use
Pick CurrentBody Series 2 if
- you want 1072 nm as well as 633 and 830 nm
- more LEDs matter to you: 236 against 132, by the brands' counts
- you'd rather have the newer clearance, K250966 from 2025
Pick Omnilux Contour Face if
- price decides it: $395, $74.99 less
- you may add the Omnilux neck and décolleté mask ($395, K242382)
- you want the red and near-infrared pair used in the early Omnilux clinic studies
Same output on paper, different paperwork
Neither brand says how far from the skin its 30 mW/cm² is measured, and no independent measurement of either mask turned up, so output is a tie by default. CurrentBody's own wording is "same power density as the original mask." The real differences are the third wavelength and the LED count.
The FDA records are where it gets interesting. Omnilux's clearance, K191629, was filed in 2019 by Ismart Marketing Svcs, Ltd for a device called "faceLITE." CurrentBody's, K250966, was filed in 2025 by Shenzhen Kaiyan Medical Equipment Co., Ltd, a Chinese contract manufacturer, for model MK-90H. Different filers, different devices. One more wrinkle on the CurrentBody side: the FDA summary describes 110 red (633 nm) and 110 near-infrared (830 nm) LEDs and no 1072 nm at all, while CurrentBody's page advertises 16 extra LEDs at 1072 nm. The cleared description doesn't include them.
Yet one company stands behind listings for both. In the FDA listing database, The Beauty Tech Group Ltd registered "Omnilux contour" under the Omnilux clearance and "CURRENTBODY SKIN LED Light Therapy Mask series 2" under a CurrentBody clearance. Two brands that are often pitched against each other have their FDA listings filed by the same registrant. That's a reason to choose on specs and terms, not on brand loyalty. The full list of who filed what is on FDA-cleared LED masks.
Fit, comfort and reliability: what owners say
The two masks are reviewed in different places, which matters. CurrentBody Series 2 has 4.1 out of 5 from 706 ratings on amazon.com, plus 4.64 out of 5 from 4,227 ratings on currentbody.us, the brand's own site (shared with Series 3). Omnilux's reviews are only on its own site: 4.55 out of 5 from 2,244 ratings on omniluxled.com, the brand's own site. A brand's own review page and Amazon aren't directly comparable, so don't read the gap in ratings as a gap in quality.
CurrentBody Series 2.
- Ease of use is the most liked point: 21 of the 24 Amazon reviews that mention it are positive. (amazon.com)
- Reliability is the main complaint: 43 of the 79 Amazon reviews that discuss it and 11 of the 15 that discuss battery life are negative, with owners describing masks that stopped charging or working after weeks or months. (amazon.com)
- Fit draws more complaints than praise: 17 of the 27 Amazon reviews that mention it are negative, mostly about the strap and the eye pieces. (amazon.com)
- On currentbody.us, 3 Series 2 reviews describe a mask that stopped working. (currentbody.us)
The fit complaints match the design: CurrentBody describes a "New multiway strap," an "Additional chin strap" and "Optional eye inserts." If a mask fails, timing matters: CurrentBody refunds a faulty device "within the first 6 months"; after that it's "store credit or replacement only" (CurrentBody returns policy).
Omnilux Contour Face.
- On omniluxled.com, 77% of the 2,244 ratings are 5 stars, and the 5-star reviews we read mostly say changes were gradual and took weeks or months to show. (omniluxled.com)
- On omniluxled.com, 4 low-rated reviews say the owner saw no visible change after weeks or months of use. (omniluxled.com)
- On omniluxled.com, 3 reviews describe hardware problems: a mask that stopped working after about two months, a damaged wireless charger, and a battery that takes 3 to 4 hours to recharge. (omniluxled.com)
Omnilux holds the mask on with Velcro head straps; one owner wishes it came in more sizes:
"However, I wish they offered a variety of sizes. In order for the eyes to match up with the openings, the mouth-opening sit on top of my chin." 4-star review, Sep 2026, omniluxled.com
What about CurrentBody Series 3?
The newer Series 3 ($569.99) adds blue (415 nm), green and amber to the red and near-infrared, 750 LEDs by the brand's count and app control. It has its own clearance, K260715 from Jun 3, 2026. CurrentBody publishes no power figure for it, only that the app calculates the dose. Worth it if you want blue light for breakouts; otherwise Series 2 does the red-light job for $100 less.
Also worth a look
- Shark CryoGlow LED Face Mask, $299.99: cheaper and adds under-eye cooling, but Shark doesn't list its wavelengths on the product page; the FDA summary for its clearance gives 415, 630 and 830 nm. Shark CryoGlow review.
- HigherDOSE Red Light Face Mask, $349: 630 and 830 nm, the brand quotes 50 mW/cm² (red 26 + NIR 24), and a 120-day money-back guarantee. HigherDOSE mask review.
The whole field, ranked: best red light therapy masks.
What to expect from either
The two brands use the same red and near-infrared pair, so expectations are the same. In the best controlled trial of a home LED mask, a 2025 sham-controlled study of 59 people, blinded raters scored the real mask clearly ahead of the sham by week 8; the users' own ratings showed no difference.
