Omnilux vs CurrentBody: Which LED Mask Actually Wins in 2026?

Affiliate disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. See our affiliate disclosure for details.

Omnilux sells you two wavelengths and asks four to six weeks. CurrentBody sells you three, now six on the new Series 3, and asks eight. That is the whole comparison. The $75 to $175 between them buys coverage, not results. We own and use a red light panel at home, not either of these masks, so what follows comes from both manufacturers' current spec and pricing pages, fetched the day this was written, plus the FDA's own 510(k) database. Where a number comes from a brand rather than an independent source, we say so. See about BankrollZen for where our hands-on testing actually stops.

The Two Brands Are Not Selling the Same Thing

Both companies make a flexible silicone mask that sits on your face for ten minutes and emits red light. Underneath that, they are selling opposite philosophies, and working out which one you are buying matters more than any spec in the table above.

Omnilux sells a narrow device. The Contour Face runs exactly two wavelengths, 633nm red and 830nm near-infrared, because those two have the deepest published research behind them for skin. Its clinical lineage predates the mask category by two decades. The FDA's own database still lists seven Omnilux clearances filed under the Photo Therapeutics name between 2003 and 2009, back when these were clinic machines rather than something you wore on the sofa. The protocol is just as narrow: 10 minutes, three to five times a week, for four to six weeks, then maintenance. One mode. Nothing to configure.

CurrentBody sells breadth. The Series 2 adds 1072nm deep near-infrared to the same red and near-infrared pair, and nearly doubles the LED count to 236. The Series 3, launched this year, goes to six wavelengths by adding blue at 415nm, green at 532nm and yellow at 590nm, with 750 bulbs, an app, four clinician-approved presets and a dosing system CurrentBody calls MyDose. Its protocol runs eight weeks rather than four to six.

Here is what the marketing will not tell you: more wavelengths is not automatically more result. Blue light at 415nm works on the skin surface against acne bacteria and does nothing for wrinkles. Green at 532nm is aimed at pigmentation and has thinner evidence than red. Yellow at 590nm is thinner still. Adding them widens what the device claims to address. It does not deepen what it does for the thing you probably bought it for. If your concern is fine lines, firmness and tone, the two wavelengths on the Omnilux are the two with the research, and the other four are options you pay for whether you use them or not.

So the price gap is not a quality gap. It is a scope gap.

Irradiance: The Number Both Brands Actually Publish

Irradiance is power density, how much light per square centimetre lands on your skin. It is the spec most mask brands quietly omit, and both of these publish it, which is to their credit.

Omnilux states roughly 30 mW/cm² for the Contour Face, describing it as "optimal for cell stimulation based on Omnilux clinical data" rather than the biggest number they could have engineered. CurrentBody's Series 2 spec block states 30 mW/cm² as its power density. On their own published figures, they are the same intensity.

That collapses the most common reason people reach for the more expensive mask. At the same irradiance and the same 10-minute session, the dose your skin receives per treatment is broadly comparable. What the extra 104 LEDs on the Series 2 buy is more even coverage across the face, not a stronger treatment. Even coverage is a real benefit, since uneven contact means uneven dose and that is the failure mode of cheap rigid masks. But it is a $75 benefit, not a different category of device.

The Series 3 does not publish an irradiance figure on its product page at all. For a $569.99 mask from a brand that published the number on the previous model, that is a step backwards. It also means the most expensive device here is the one whose core spec you cannot check. Not published is what we have, and we will not guess at it.

The FDA Clearance, Actually Checked

Both brands print "FDA-cleared" on the page. We looked both up in the FDA's 510(k) database on 17 September 2026, and the results are not symmetrical.

LED wrinkle masks sit under product code OHS, "Light Based Over The Counter Wrinkle Reduction", regulation 878.4810, Class II, 510(k) required. It is not an exempt category, so a legitimately marketed device has a clearance somewhere.

CurrentBody's is easy to find. K250966 covers the "CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask Series 2 (MK-90H)", filed by Shenzhen Kaiyan Medical Equipment and cleared on 25 June 2025. There is a second, newer record: K260715, "CurrentBody Skin LED Multi Light Therapy Mask (MK-110D)", filed by The Beauty Tech Group and cleared on 3 June 2026. Do not assume that one covers the Series 3. CurrentBody also sells a separate product called the LED Multi Light Therapy Mask, which is what the record names. The Series 3 page prints no K-number at all, so if you are buying the new flagship, ask CurrentBody which record covers it rather than reading one across from a different mask.

Omnilux is a different picture. Searching the database for "Omnilux" returns eight records. The most recent is K210948, "Omnilux CLEAR", cleared 24 June 2021 to GlobalMed Technologies, so the acne mask has a clearance you can pull up in thirty seconds. The other seven date from 2003 to 2009 and belong to the old Photo Therapeutics clinic devices. Nothing in the database is named "Omnilux Contour Face."

Read that carefully, because it is easy to over-read. A name miss is not proof of absence. These clearances are routinely filed under the contract manufacturer's model designator with no retail brand in the title. Light Tree Ventures' K221775 covers models "MK-78, MK-04, MK66-H, MK66R-B, EL00003", and you would never find a consumer brand by searching for it. The Contour Face may well sit inside a record like that.

What we can say is narrower and more useful. CurrentBody's Series 2 clearance is verifiable by name in under a minute. Omnilux's Contour Face clearance is not. If the badge is load-bearing for your purchase, email Omnilux and ask for the K-number before you spend $395. That is the same advice we give in our guide to FDA-cleared red light therapy devices, and it applies to the brand we rank first as much as to anyone else.

Omnilux Contour Face: ~$395

Check price →

132 LEDs arranged as 66 dual-chip bulbs, each carrying both a 633nm red and an 830nm near-infrared emitter, in a flexible medical-grade silicone shell. Ten-minute sessions, three to five times a week, for four to six weeks, then maintenance as you like. Two-year warranty.

Pros

• The two wavelengths with the deepest published research behind them for skin
• Publishes its irradiance (~30 mW/cm²) and explains why it is not higher
• Cheapest of the serious masks compared here
• Shortest protocol, four to six weeks to the stated result rather than eight
• One mode, no app, no pairing, nothing to maintain

Cons

• No blue light, so it does nothing for acne. Omnilux says so and sells you the Clear instead
• No named 510(k) record we could find in the FDA database
• Returns carry a $15 fee and the original box is required

What the spec sheet does not convey: with one mode there is no dosing decision to get wrong. Every session is the same session. That reads as a limitation next to CurrentBody's presets and app, and our view is the opposite. A device you have to configure is a device you have to decide about, twenty times a month, for two months. That is our editorial read rather than a measured finding, and we have not used this mask ourselves.

Best for: anyone whose concern is lines, firmness and tone, and who wants the shortest honest route to a result.

Omnilux Clear: ~$395

Check price →

Same shell, same 132 LEDs in 66 dual-chip bulbs, same price. The near-infrared emitters are swapped for 415nm blue alongside the 633nm red, and the output is higher at a published 44 mW/cm². The protocol is four sessions a week for six weeks. Omnilux states it is cleared to treat mild to moderate acne vulgaris, and that clearance is the one you can look up: K210948.

Pros

• Named, verifiable 510(k) record, which is rare in this category
• Highest published irradiance of any mask here
• 45-day return window, longer than the Contour's 30

Cons

• Wrong device entirely if your concern is wrinkles
• Omnilux is explicit that it is for mild-to-moderate facial acne, not severe or cystic
• You cannot run a Clear course and a Contour course at the same time

Best for: mild-to-moderate breakouts, where you want a cleared device rather than a multi-mode gadget. We go deeper on the wavelength logic in blue vs red light therapy.

CurrentBody Skin Series 2: ~$469.99

Check price →

236 LEDs, split as 110 red at 633nm, 110 near-infrared at 830nm and 16 deep near-infrared at 1072nm, at a published power density of 30 mW/cm². Ten-minute sessions, three to five times a week, for eight weeks. Two-year warranty, 30-day returns.

Pros

• Nearly double the Omnilux's LED count, so more even coverage across the face
• Adds 1072nm deep near-infrared
• Clearance is verifiable by name: K250966, cleared 25 June 2025
• Same published irradiance as the Omnilux, so you give up no intensity

Cons

• $75 more than the Contour Face for the same stated intensity
• Eight-week protocol rather than four to six
• Returns require the device unopened: "new and unused, with all the original accessories, free gifts, packaging and manufacturing seals intact"

Something worth knowing before you trust the star rating. On 17 September 2026 the review widget showed an identical "4.6 out of 5, 4,184 reviews" on both the Series 2 page and the brand-new Series 3 page. That score is not per-model, so it tells you about CurrentBody's masks in general and nothing about either device specifically. The headline results claim, wrinkles reduced 30% and plumpness improved 57% in eight weeks, is brand-stated and asterisked to CurrentBody's own commissioned study rather than independent evidence.

Best for: buyers who want the broadest even coverage from a mask whose paperwork they can verify in a minute.

CurrentBody Skin Series 3: ~$569.99

The new flagship: 750 Veritace-certified bulbs, six wavelengths (633nm red, 830nm near-infrared, 1072nm deep near-infrared, 415nm blue, 532nm green, 590nm yellow), app pairing, four clinician-approved presets, and MyDose, which lets you pick wavelengths and calculates the dose for you. Same ten-minute, three-to-five-times-weekly rhythm. CurrentBody claims 37% wrinkle reduction and 57% improved plumpness in eight weeks, both brand-stated.

We are not ranking it and we are not linking it. There is no independent data on a device this new, and the one spec that would let you compare it directly, irradiance, is absent from its page. If the six-wavelength, app-controlled mask is genuinely what you want, buy it from CurrentBody directly. We would rather tell you that than steer you to something we earn on. What we would not do is pay $100 over the Series 2 for wavelengths whose evidence is thinner than the two you already had.

Best for: buyers who want every wavelength in one shell and are comfortable being early.

Which One Should You Actually Buy?

Buy the Omnilux Contour Face if your concern is fine lines, firmness or tone, you want the shortest protocol, and you would rather have one button than an app. It is the cheapest device here that publishes its irradiance, and its two wavelengths are the two with real research behind them.

Buy the CurrentBody Series 2 if even coverage matters to you, which usually means larger faces or a history of patchy contact with rigid masks, or if a verifiable FDA record is part of why you are buying. The extra $75 is real value for those two reasons and not for any others.

Buy the Omnilux Clear if breakouts are the problem. Neither anti-aging mask will help, and the Clear is the only device here with a named clearance for the thing you are treating.

Buy neither if you are treating a body area rather than a face. Masks are the wrong shape and the wrong dose for backs, knees and shoulders. A panel is the tool, and we cover that in red light therapy vs infrared sauna. For the wider field of masks beyond these two brands, start with our best red light therapy masks roundup, or browse everything in red light therapy.

One purchase mechanic worth a sentence. Omnilux's site carries a standing "10% off your first order" banner, which takes a $395 mask to roughly $355 if it is live when you buy. CurrentBody's basket showed a 0% discount on both masks the day we checked. Neither brand publishes an end date for its offers, so check before assuming.

FAQ

Is Omnilux better than CurrentBody?

For most buyers, yes, but narrowly and for a specific reason. The Omnilux Contour Face and the CurrentBody Series 2 publish the same irradiance (30 mW/cm²) and run the same ten-minute session, so the Omnilux delivers comparable intensity for $75 less on a shorter four-to-six-week protocol. CurrentBody wins on coverage, 236 LEDs against 132, and on paperwork, since its Series 2 clearance is verifiable by name in the FDA database and the Contour Face's is not. If you want the most evidence per dollar, buy the Omnilux. If you want the most even light across a larger face, buy the Series 2.

Which is better for wrinkles, Omnilux or CurrentBody?

Both target wrinkles with the same two core wavelengths, 633nm red and 830nm near-infrared. Research suggests this pairing is the best-studied combination for collagen stimulation in skin, which is why both brands build on it. CurrentBody adds 1072nm deep near-infrared on the Series 2 and three more wavelengths on the Series 3, but those additions aim at pigmentation, redness and acne rather than lines. For wrinkles specifically, the two masks are closer than the price difference suggests, and the Omnilux costs less to get there.

Is the CurrentBody Series 3 worth the extra money over the Series 2?

Not on the evidence available in September 2026. The Series 3 costs $569.99 against the Series 2's $469.99, and the extra buys three wavelengths (blue, green and yellow) whose research base for anti-aging is thinner than red and near-infrared, plus app control and preset dosing. It also does not publish an irradiance figure on its product page, so the one number that would let you compare it directly to the Series 2 is missing. If you want a six-wavelength device and are comfortable being an early buyer, it is the most capable mask CurrentBody makes. If you want the best-validated result per dollar, the Series 2 is the safer buy.

Are Omnilux and CurrentBody masks FDA-cleared?

Both are marketed as FDA-cleared, and LED wrinkle masks do require a 510(k) under product code OHS, so a legitimate device has one. Checked on 17 September 2026, CurrentBody's Series 2 has a named record, K250966, cleared 25 June 2025, and Omnilux Clear has one too, K210948, cleared 24 June 2021. We could not find any record named "Omnilux Contour Face." That is not proof it lacks a clearance, because these filings often use the contract manufacturer's model number rather than the retail name, but it does mean the badge is unverifiable by name. Ask Omnilux for the K-number if the clearance matters to your decision.

How long until I see results from either mask?

Omnilux states three to five sessions a week for four to six weeks for the Contour Face, and four sessions a week for six weeks for the Clear. CurrentBody states three to five sessions a week for eight weeks on both the Series 2 and Series 3. Those are the manufacturers' own protocols. Studies indicate consistency matters more than intensity with photobiomodulation, so a mask used three times a week for two months will do more than a stronger one used sporadically. Treat the stated timeline as the earliest point to judge, not a guarantee.

Can you return an LED mask after trying it?

The two policies differ in a way that matters. CurrentBody's published US returns policy gives you 30 days but requires the item to be "new and unused, with all the original accessories, free gifts, packaging and manufacturing seals intact", so opening the box ends the option. Omnilux publishes 30 days for Contour devices and 45 days for the CLEAR, requires the original box and accessories, and deducts a $15 return fee. Both brands give a two-year warranty on manufacturing faults. Check the current policy at the point of purchase, since retailer terms differ from brand-direct terms.

Do LED face masks actually work?

Research suggests red and near-infrared light in the 630 to 850nm range can stimulate fibroblast activity and collagen production, and that is the mechanism both brands are built on. What the research does not support is treating any consumer mask as equivalent to a clinic device. Home masks run lower output over shorter sessions, and the published improvements are measured as percentage changes in wrinkle depth and skin elasticity, not dramatic transformations. Both Omnilux and CurrentBody cite their own commissioned studies for their headline numbers, which is normal for the category and is not the same as independent evidence. Expect a modest, gradual change over two months of consistent use, and be sceptical of anything promising more.

Our Verdict

If we were buying one of these today, it would be the Omnilux Contour Face at ~$395. It publishes the same irradiance as the mask that costs $75 more, runs the two wavelengths with the deepest research behind them, asks four to six weeks rather than eight, and gives you nothing to configure. For a device that only works if you actually use it, that last point is a feature.

The CurrentBody Series 2 at ~$469.99 earns its premium in two specific places. 236 LEDs give more even coverage than 132, which matters on larger faces, and its FDA clearance is one you can verify by name in a minute while the Omnilux's is not. Those are real reasons. If either applies to you, buy it without hesitation.

The Series 3 at ~$569.99 we would leave alone for now: a $100 premium for wavelengths with thinner evidence, on the only mask here that has stopped publishing its irradiance. And if breakouts rather than lines are the problem, ignore this whole comparison and buy the Omnilux Clear, the one device on this page whose clearance is for the thing you are actually treating.
