CurrentBody LED mask review: Series 2 vs Series 3 vs the 4-in-1
4 devices: 3 masks and 1 hair device, $469.99 to $859.99. Series 2 ($469.99) is the simple wrinkle mask of the three, with a 510(k) for full-face wrinkles, but it has the worst owner record I've collected for a mask: on Amazon, 43 of 79 reviews that mention reliability are negative. Series 3 ($569.99) adds blue light for acne and is cleared for it, but publishes no output figure. The 4-in-1 ($549.99) splits the face into zones. All three come with 2 years of warranty and 30 days to return, but only "new and unused, seals intact", so you can't try one and send it back. With that return policy, the 2-year warranty is what protects you, and even it pays money back only for faults in the first 6 months; after that CurrentBody offers "store credit or replacement only" (delivery and returns page).

Verdict by model
9/10. Owner reviews are its weak point, 1.5 of 2 there: on Amazon, 43 of 79 reviews that mention reliability are negative. Buy it if you want a straightforward wrinkle mask and you'll keep the receipt for the 2-year warranty; CurrentBody states 30 mW/cm² (same power density as the original mask). Skip it if acne is the goal, if 1072 nm is the reason you're buying (see the FDA file below), or if you'd rather not gamble on reliability.
9.25/10. Buy it if you want blue light for spots and red light in one mask from a big brand. Skip it if you want to compare output: CurrentBody gives none, only an automatic dose feature it calls MyDose.
9.25/10. Buy it if you want different light on different parts of the face; CurrentBody states Red 50.4; green 33.6; yellow 28.3 mW/cm². Skip it if you want one simple program; at $549.99 it costs nearly as much as Series 3.

CurrentBody also still lists its original red-only mask; it isn't in our database yet, so it isn't compared here. The brand's LED hair helmet ($859.99) is covered on the hair growth page.
What the FDA files say
Series 2 matches K250966, decided Jun 25, 2025, filed by Shenzhen Kaiyan Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. for "CurrentBody Skin™ LED Light Therapy Mask Series 2 (MK-90H)". It is cleared "for the use in the treatment of full-face wrinkles". The device in that file has 110 LEDs at 633 nm and 110 at 830 nm. It doesn't mention 1072 nm, while CurrentBody lists 633, 830 and 1072 nm and 236 LEDs for the Series 2 it sells. The FDA record doesn't explain the difference, so treat 1072 nm as the brand's claim, not part of the clearance.
Series 3 matches K260715, decided Jun 3, 2026 and filed by The Beauty Tech Group, Ltd., which also holds the FDA listings for Omnilux. Its four modes are cleared for different things: red with 830 and 1072 nm for "topical heating" and minor muscle and joint pain; blue with red for "mild to moderate inflammatory acne"; yellow (590 nm) with 830 nm for wrinkles; and green is "for user comfort and relaxation purposes only". So on Series 3 the 1072 nm light belongs to the muscle-pain mode, not the wrinkle mode. It is also the only mask clearance I read that names a skin-type limit: "Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV".
The 4-in-1 matches K242593, also filed by Shenzhen Kaiyan. It covers four models (MK-90C, MK-90M, MK66RB-F and MK-90N), each with its own use: acne and wrinkles, wrinkles only, acne only, and wrinkles around the eyes. The file includes a blue-plus-red mode at 415 and 633 nm, while CurrentBody lists 532, 590, 633, 660 and 830 nm for the 4-in-1 it sells, with no blue, so the file doesn't say which of the four models is the one on sale.
Shenzhen Kaiyan filed the 510(k)s for the HigherDOSE mask (K241933) and the Kala mask (K250581) too, and holds listings under the clearance the Bon Charge mask uses. Same filer, different specs: the HigherDOSE review puts three of them side by side.
How to use it
I couldn't find a manual for Series 2 itself, so this is from the manual for CurrentBody's original mask plus CurrentBody's contraindications page.
- Before: "Wash and fully dry your face prior to use." A serum or eye cream without SPF around the eyes is fine; creams with SPF are not, because they "could block light penetration".
- First time: run a full 10-minute session on your forearm. If the skin stays red for more than 2 hours, CurrentBody says you're light-sensitive and should return the mask within 14 days.
- During: 10 minutes, then it switches off. Goggles are in the box "for your comfort"; CurrentBody says the mask can be used without them.
- After: "apply a serum or moisturiser of your choice."
- Not with: retinoids such as tretinoin or oral isotretinoin, antibiotics such as tetracycline or doxycycline, or prescription skincare, unless your practitioner agrees.
Can you overdo it?
The manual contradicts itself: the text says "Use daily", the spec table says 10 minutes "4 times per week". The Series 2 510(k) describes 10 minutes, 5 times a week for 6 weeks. I'd follow the lower number. Research doesn't support more being better: reviews of light dosing describe a biphasic dose response in which low doses often did better than high ones, though that evidence comes from cell and animal work. More is on the benefits page.
What owners say
Series 2
On amazon.com the Series 2 averages 4.1/5 from 706 ratings (checked Oct 7, 2026). Amazon sorts reviews by topic. The topic with the most praise is quality: 54 of 87 mentions are positive. The one with the highest share of complaints is value for money: 28 of 43 are negative. On its own site, currentbody.us, the brand shows 4.64/5 from 4,227 reviews. I read 100 of them; 1 described the device failing. The brand shows one pool of reviews for this and CurrentBody LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 3, so they can't be told apart. Owners praise: Ease of use is the most liked point: 21 of the 24 Amazon reviews that mention it are positive. (amazon.com). Owners complain about: 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). Owners complain about: 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). One owner wrote: "This product started great, nut after the 1st charge it has not been working properly. It turns itself off before the 10min on full charge." (currentbody.us, Feb 16, 2025).
The two sites tell different stories. On CurrentBody's own site few of the reviews I read describe a failure; on Amazon, where the brand doesn't control the page, reliability is the second most-discussed topic and most of those mentions are negative. Battery life is the other weak spot there: 11 of 15 mentions are negative.
Series 3 and the 4-in-1
I found no marketplace listing with ratings for Series 3; its reviews on CurrentBody's site are the same pool as Series 2's, so they say nothing about Series 3 on its own. On its own site, currentbody.us, the brand shows 4.72/5 from 36 reviews. I read 36 of them; none described the device failing. A brand controls the reviews on its own site, so I give them less weight than a marketplace with many ratings. Owners praise: On currentbody.us, battery life is a repeated plus: 3 reviews praise the charge, one saying it needs charging about once a week. (currentbody.us). Owners praise: On currentbody.us, 4 reviews call the mask easy or convenient to use, though one says the instructions are minimal. (currentbody.us). One owner wrote: "I have been using this for one month and have not noticed any difference." (currentbody.us, Mar 22, 2024).
CurrentBody or Omnilux?
Series 2 costs $469.99 against $395 for the Omnilux Contour Face; both have 2 years of warranty and 30 days to return. CurrentBody advertises more LEDs and a third wavelength; Omnilux has the older clearance. CurrentBody's 30 days come with the condition that the mask is new and unused. On owner reviews the two can't be compared fairly: I found Omnilux reviews only on its own site, while Series 2 has the Amazon record above. Side by side: CurrentBody vs Omnilux.
Questions people ask
Does the CurrentBody LED mask work?
CurrentBody's 510(k)s rest on equivalence to other masks, with no clinical testing of their own. The wavelengths are the ones used in small trials, such as a 2007 sham-controlled study of 76 people that measured wrinkle reductions of up to 36% after four weeks. Expect modest changes over weeks, and see the medical disclaimer.
What should I put on my skin before LED light therapy?
Nothing with SPF. Clean, dry skin is the baseline; CurrentBody allows a serum or eye cream without SPF, and suggests moisturizer after the session.
Which LED light is best for wrinkles?
Red (around 630 to 660 nm) and near-infrared (around 830 nm) are what most wrinkle clearances and trials use. CurrentBody's Series 3 is cleared for wrinkles with yellow 590 nm plus 830 nm instead. Blue light is for acne, not wrinkles.
