Omnilux Contour Face vs CurrentBody Skin LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 3
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full LED Face Masks: Which to Buy and Which to Skip comparison.
Omnilux is one of only two makers here that publish an irradiance figure, which combined with a stated 10 minute session is the only way to know the dose you are receiving. CurrentBody offers more wavelengths and per-LED control, and is the better choice if you want to treat acne and pigmentation as well as lines.
Omnilux Contour Face
Buy itThe only mask here that tells you its output, which is the only way to know what you are getting.
- Omnilux publishes an energy output of about 30 mW per square centimetre, and a 10 minute session, which together are enough to calculate the dose delivered.
- 132 LEDs arranged as 66 dual-chip bulbs, each containing both a 633nm red and an 830nm near-infrared emitter, so both wavelengths reach the same point at the same time rather than from separate bulbs.
- FDA cleared, flexible and portable, with a published regimen of three to five treatments per week for four to six weeks and maintenance afterwards, on a technology Omnilux says features in more than 40 peer-reviewed clinical studies.
- Red and near-infrared only, with no blue, and Omnilux states plainly that the Contour line will not clear acne breakouts and should not be used on inflammatory acne.
- No app, no preset modes and no adjustable intensity.
- No battery life or weight is published on the product page, though Omnilux does state a 2-year warranty on the device and controller.
CurrentBody Skin LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 3
Buy itSix wavelengths and individual control of every LED, which is more capability than anything else here.
- Six wavelengths: red at 633nm, near-infrared at 830nm, deep near-infrared at 1072nm, blue at 415nm, green at 532nm and yellow at 590nm, so lines, acne and pigmentation are all addressed by one device.
- The MyDose system gives control over every individual LED, letting you choose the wavelengths and calculating the dose automatically, alongside four clinician-approved preset modes.
- A flexible silicone shape with a chin strap for coverage, and an app for building and saving personalised treatments.
- No irradiance figure is published, so the automatic dose calculation cannot be checked against anything.
- No weight, battery life or warranty terms appear on the product page, though CurrentBody does state 750 LEDs.
- The headline results, 37 percent fewer wrinkles and 57 percent more plumpness in eight weeks, are asterisked claims; CurrentBody attributes them to independent clinical testing, including a 31-subject, 56-day Eurofins study of its LEDs.
