There\u2019s no sign of the LED face mask craze losing momentum. \u201cRed-light therapy and LED face masks have stayed popular because they sit at the intersection of science, convenience, and aesthetics. They offer clinical-like treatments at home, without appointments or ongoing high costs,\u201d board-certified nurse practitioner Tama Tran tells Vogue<\/em>, noting that while individual results can vary, there\u2019s ample research to support their benefits. Tran adds that the devices\u2019 visually striking, sci-fi aesthetic lends them viral appeal\u2014especially when celebrities and influencers showcase them online. And as these once-niche tools entered the mainstream, their prices dropped from the thousands into the hundreds, making them far more accessible than in-office procedures.<\/p>\n

Board-certified plastic surgeon Sean T. Doherty, MD echoes this sentiment and predicts that red-light therapy devices will only continue to surge in popularity in 2026. \u201cThey are safe, effective, and very popular on social media. Patients are very much looking for minimally-invasive treatments that can complement their at home skin-care regime,\u201d Dr. Doherty say, emphasizing that TikTok and Instagram will remain a driving force in the year ahead. \u201cPeople like seeing celebrities and influencers doing these easy treatments and they will want to do the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

But, how exactly does the technology work? To find out, we reviewed the beauty tools on the market, parsed through the Vogue<\/em> beauty closet, and sifted through dermatologist recommendations to curate this edit of the best LED face masks for various needs and skin types to supercharge your skin-care regimen.<\/p>\n

      Crafted from a flexible silicone designed to allow maximum amounts of light to penetrate the skin , Currentbody\u2019s device is arguably the most-recommended red light face mask on the market right now. While the original device drew upon two light wavelengths, dermatologist Dr. Lauren Penzi previously shared in our Currentbody LED face mask review that this utilizes \u201c132 LED bulbs\u201466 red (633nm) and 66 near-infrared (830nm) wavelengths that are diffused for complete skin coverage\u201d\u2014this new version utilizes 236 bulbs across three light wavelenghts. The red light, she continues, accelerates the production of new collagen and calm redness; while near-infrared works beneath the skin\u2019s surface to boost blood circulation, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the cells. The deep near-infrared, on the other hand, targets deeper beneath the skin for optimal repair. \u201cThese varied wavelengths work together to boost collagen production, improve circulation, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles,\u201d board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dendy Engelman previously said. Even Dr. Azadeh Shirazi is a fan of the Currentbody mask because it\u2019s FDA-cleared and designed with clinically-proven light wavelengths. \u201cOur patients love how easy it is to use and requires just 10min 3-5 times a week,\u201d she says. Speaking of patients, dermatologist Dr. Divya Shokeen recommends it to hers too: \u201c I actually see clinical significant improvement in hair growth in my patients when they use their LED light on the scalp as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

      Through red-, near-infrared, and deep near-infrared\u2013light, this face mask can boost collagen production and stimulate wound healing while improving skin texture, tone, and firmness. According to Currentbody, the device is clinically proven to reduce wrinkles by 30% in eight weeks.<\/p>\n

      An LED face shield is ideal if you\u2019re not looking for the the mask fit flush onto the skin. With Skin Gym\u2019s version, you simply place the arms over the ears (as you would sunglasses) so the device sits across the eyes with the shield a few inches from the face. It\u2019s comfortable to wear\u2014making it that much simpler to reap its benefits. In 15 to 30 minutes, the wireless mask offers red-, blue-, and amber-light therapy to reveal an unmatched glow, reduced redness, and improved acne-prone skin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, and redness are all concerns that the Omnilux Contour Face treats. \u201cThis is one of my favorite consumer-grade LED masks,\u201d says board-certified nurse practitioner Vanessa Coppola. \u201cOmnilux uses medical-grade, FDA-cleared wavelengths (633nm red and 830nm near-infrared), which are highly effective in stimulating fibroblasts and improving collagen synthesis.<\/p>\n

        It\u2019s also flexible, so it conforms to the skin better, allowing for more even light dispersion. I recommend this often to patients post-laser or microneedling to speed healing and optimize results.\u201dThe device utilizes red and near-infrared light to keep skin feeling firm and looking glowy with consistent use. How often should you incorporate it? Omnilux recommends three to five 10-minute treatments for four to six weeks.<\/p>\n

        It\u2019s no secret that targeted facial treatments can be the most effective. Forehead breakouts require a different regimen than say, crow\u2019s feet under the eyes or dark spots along the cheek. These concerns, many of which can be alleviated with consistent LED light therapy, can be tackled simultaneously with Qure\u2019s mask\u2014which boasts unique, customizable features that allows users to personalize their treatment through an app.<\/p>\n

        Just place the mask over your face, turn it on, and open the app to select your treatment. There are two presets to choose from\u2014Anti-Aging (which uses a mix of amber, red, deep red, and infrared light) or Anti-Breakout (which pairs blue and red light). Use these treatments across the entire face; or, select a combination along the five different facial areas\u2014forehead, nose, temples, cheeks, and chin. (Think: Anti-Breakout for the cheeks and chin, then Anti-Aging for the other areas.) With consistent use, improved skin elasticity, smoothed fine lines, faded dark spots, and reduced inflammation are just a few of its results.<\/p>\n

          The wand is the perfect size to treat small areas of the face like the undereyes or around the mouth.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          Though it\u2019s not a mask, the Solawave wand is one of our favorite LED light therapy tools. From myself to executive fashion director Lisa Aiken, Vogue<\/em> editors have developed quite a penchant for the multi-purpose device. And as it turns out, the pros are also quite fond of it. \u201cThis is a great multitasker,\u201d says Coppola. \u201cWhile the LED coverage is smaller than a full-face mask, it\u2019s a convenient, portable option for targeted treatment areas. It\u2019s ideal for travel or for someone newer to LED therapy who wants a starter device.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          The draw to the Solawave wand goes beyond its convenience; it pairs four treatments in one: red light therapy, microcurrent technology, facial massage, and therapeutic warmth. Here, the red light targets wrinkles, dark spots, sun damage, and blemishes for a youthful glow. Solawave recommends using the wand for five minutes, three times per week.<\/p>\n

            We also recommend the Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite LED EyeCare Max Pro (read more below) if you\u2019re looking to shop multiple devices from the same brand.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

            Easily one of the most well-known LED face masks on the market, and likely the one you\u2019ve seen dominating your TikTok feed, this option by Dr. Dennis Gross lives up to the hype; Julia Fox swears by it and actress Rachel Zegler even whipped it out in her Vogue<\/em> beauty secrets installment. As an acne-prone girl, it\u2019s my LED mask of choice thanks to the featured blue light therapy benefits. (The brand also has an eye mask to better target under-eye concerns.) \u201cThis mask is pretty powerful and offers both blue- and red-light therapy,\u201d Dr. Palm notes. \u201cThe hands-free mask also sits flush against the skin, making it easy to use.\u201d Coppola is also a fan of its design. \u201cThe firm, structured shape ensures consistent proximity to skin,\u201d she says. \u201cPatients often report more even tone and less redness after a few weeks of use. It\u2019s FDA-cleared and offers great cumulative benefits when used regularly (three to five times per week).\u201d<\/p>\n

            The mask offers three treatment modes\u2014red light for signs of aging like dark spots and wrinkles, blue light for acne (in addition to the best acne treatments), and a combination of the two for multitasking\u2014to rejuvenate skin in one three-minute treatment. Offering some of the widest light ranges on the market, Dr. Sturm recommends it because it \u201ccan treat the widest range of conditions by using blue light for acne, red for wrinkles and brown spots, near infrared for deep dermal collagen stimulation, and amber light to reduce inflammation.\u201d And because it\u2019s wireless, this is rechargeable, utilizing a USB port at the top forehead of the mask.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

              Three light modes to combat wrinkles, dark spots, and acne.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

              At first glance, Therabody\u2019s TheraFace mask might look like your ordinary LED mask. However, the brand took the technology up a notch by pairing light therapy with vibration therapy\u2014an unexpected tension-relieving benefit that captured my attention. In my test of the device, I found that, yes, with consistent use, my skin felt firmer and bouncier thanks to the LED treatment, but what I most enjoyed was the gentle massage it offered, alleviating my jaw tightness and boosting relaxation. \u201cAlthough eight weeks are recommended for the best results, I noticed that my skin was calmer and less congested after just a week,\u201d Vogue<\/em> contributor Deanna Pai wrote in her review. \u201cEven a newfound zit on my chin came and went in a day or so with the help of this mask. I have yet to see a sharper jawline, but my skin does look more supple and smooth than it did\u2014possible proof that my skin is getting its collagen-formation in order.\u201d<\/p>\n

              The massage brings Therabody\u2019s percussive massage expertise through 17 motors, located on the head straps, gently vibrating along the pressure points of the face and scalp. Skin, on the other hand, is treated through three light modes\u2014red for wrinkles and dark spots, blue for acne, and red+infrared for firming. All this can be completed in a nine-minute treatment, cycling through each light wavelength, or in a three-minute session for one individual light wavelength.<\/p>\n

              Keeping in mind those that might want to reap all these benefits without shelling out $600, Therabody just released a more affordable version of its beloved LED face mask. Behold the TheraFace Mask Glo. \u201cMask Glo is more attainable in price ($380), lighter in weight, and uses slightly fewer LEDs balanced by a slightly longer treatment duration to maintain efficacy with the same clinically proven dose of light\u2014so results remain strong while still creating a seamless experience for everyday users,\u201d Therabody vice president of science and innovation Tim Roberts told Vogue<\/em> in our review of the new device. Mask Glo combines red, infrared, and blue light wavelengths into a twelve minute treatment to improve skin tone, texture, and firmness in a single treatment mode. While that is an incredible option\u2014a device that\u2019s even Kendall Jenner-approved\u2014we\u2019d still recommend the O.G. TheraFace Mask for its versatile treatment options and expanded light coverage. (The original utilizes 648 LEDs whereas the affordable version utilizes 504.) Both are great, it\u2019s really just a personal choice based on your constraints, lifestyle, and priorities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                Achieving a natural glow is simple with HigherDose\u2019s silicone LED mask, designed to fit seamlessly into an active lifestyle. \u201c[This] has 132 LEDs to deliver red and near infrared wavelengths for a FDA-cleared full face anti-aging [device], making it a good treatment for a patient wanting to treat wrinkles, improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of brown spots and does not have acne concerns,\u201d Dr. Sturm says. That said, Coppola considers it an excellent addition to any holistic beauty approach: \u201cWhile it doesn\u2019t claim medical-grade status, it does provide mood-boosting benefits as well, perfect for stressed-out skin or someone looking to combine self-care with skin rejuvenation.\u201d<\/p>\n

                Powered by red and near-infrared light, this treatment can be performed for a minimum of 10 minutes three to five times per week to revive your complexion. Specifically, it uses infrared heat to quell inflammation and rebuild skin tissue in tandem with red light to stop redness and uneven skin tone in their tracks. This LED light therapy face mask is so good, it\u2019s even earned the approval of New York City-based dermatologist Dr. Dendy Engelman, who cited it as an essential step of her regimen.<\/p>\n

                  The cryotherapy chill pads are an added bonus not found in any other LED mask on our list.<\/td>\nIt\u2019s a bit heavy, so not best for someone interested in a more flexible mask.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

                  If cryo and LED light therapies had a baby, it would be Shark\u2019s CryoGlow. Via the brand\u2019s InstaChill Cold Technology, it offers a cooling feature designed to tighten and soothe the under-eye in a matter of minutes\u2014it\u2019s the only device of its kind on the market right now. This combination, Coppola explains, may enhance product absorption and reduce inflammation. \u201cWhile the science behind cryo and LED together is still emerging, I like the concept\u2014cooling can help calm post-procedure skin, and red light adds a regenerative boost,\u201d she says. \u201cI would use this as a relaxing, calming device post-serum application.\u201d<\/p>\n

                  It\u2019s worth noting that, you don\u2019t have to utilize the cooling feature on each wear. This feature comes via chill pads that can be clipped on or off below the eye holes. If you remove them, trust you\u2019re still getting an excellent treatment via a range of intelligent light wavelengths, across 160 tri-wick LEDS (480 light sources). \u201cThe Shark Beauty CryoGlow + LED Face mask uses FDA-cleared red, blue, and infrared light giving it the flexibility to treat a wider range of skin concerns including acne, wrinkles or brown spots,\u201d says Sturm.\u00a0\u201cThis infrared technology penetrates deeper in the dermis to improve deeper wrinkles and texture.\u201d All of this makes it no wonder its a favorites of celebrities like Sofia Richie Grainge, who used it in her latest Beauty Secrets episode.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                    What sets MZ Skin\u2019s device apart from the rest is not just that it mimics an in-office treatment with Maryam Zamani, MD, but the FDA-registered mask has two different light settings to choose from. These two treatment modes inform who should use the device. The first is anti-aging\u2014a combination of red and near-infrared to boost collagen production, reduce inflammation, and smooth wrinkles. The second is for treating acne via a combination of red and blue light wavelengths designed to rejuvenate skin while combatting acne-fighting bacteria. This combination makes it an excellent choice for someone interested in collagen production and boosting skin elasticity, while also addressing persistent breakouts.<\/p>\n

                      We also recommend the Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro (read more above) if you\u2019re looking to shop multiple devices from the same brand.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                      Making the case for targeted LED treatments is another stellar option by Dr. Dennis Gross\u2014the EyeCare Max Pro. Worn as a sort of superhero-esque eye mask, the device promises to alleviate all your eye-care concerns, from crow\u2019s feet to dark circles. \u201cFocusing on the delicate eye area, this is great for collagen stimulation around the orbital region, which can be tricky to treat with traditional modalities,\u201d Coppola explains. \u201cThe red light may help improve fine lines and crepey texture over time\u2014[it\u2019s] a great complement to neurotoxins like Botox when patients want to further enhance eye rejuvenation.\u201d Per Dr. Sturm, just be sure to use as directed in order to reduce red light exposure to the eyes themselves.<\/p>\n

                      The tools work through 96 red lights emitting diodes that penetrate the skin to boost collagen production. The result? Softened fine lines, improved elasticity, and more even skin tone. Using it is as simple as adjusting the silicone straps and placing it over your eyes onto clean skin\u2014sitting through a three-minute session. Follow with your best skin-care face products as usual.<\/p>\n

                      Despite its hard shell, the D\u00e9esse Pro LED Phototherapy Mask is surprisingly lightweight, held into place with a secure head strap and removable eye inserts for those who prefer a bit of cushion there. Clearly, the brand has put a lot of thought into addressing all the pain points around utlizing\u2014and reaping the benefits\u2014of an at-home light therapy mask. \u201cThis is a premium device with a higher price point, but it offers multiple wavelengths beyond just red and near-infrared, including blue and green,\u201d Dr. Trempathi explains, which makes it versatile for targeting different skin concerns. \u201cWith 308 LEDs, it delivers excellent coverage and bulb density.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                      According to Dr. Spearman, the D\u00e9esse Pro\u2019s FDA-cleared professional-grade design makes it a great choice for those looking for a more intensive treatment\u2014apt to target various problem areas like acne and signs of aging. These concerns are solved via six light therapy modes. If you want to use one singular wavelength\u2014red to boost collagen and reduce wrinkles, blue to kill acne-fighting bacteria, green to diminish pigmentation\u2014are available. There\u2019s even a Rejuvenating Express mode for an intensified red light therapy session. Near-infrared, red, and blue lights come together to accelerate skin repair, whereas the last treatment mode dubbed \u201cCalming\u201d pairs blue and green lights to quell inflammation and redness. That said, this mask is best for someone whose skin concerns vary wildly, with the option for various modalities at their disposal.<\/p>\n

                      Embedded with LED lights that emit wavelengths of light red, dark red, infrared, and amber, this handheld device treats wrinkles everywhere on the face\u2014including the forehead, crow\u2019s feet, and lips. Tran considers this pick to be a solid choice. \u201cIt\u2019s clinically backed & FDA-cleared. The combination of red, amber, and near-IR is well supported for stimulating collagen and elastin, which are key for reducing fine lines,\u201d she says. \u201cDifferent wavelengths penetrate to different skin depths, making this more effective than a single-wavelength device. If you\u2019re already doing a solid skin-care routine (serums, retinols, SPF) but want a boost for collagen and wrinkle-smoothing, this is a great option.\u201d Dr. Doherty considers it to be a versatile device, for it\u2019s ability to support not only a skin-care regimen, but support pain relief. \u201cThis device has 72 LEDs and provides a significant amount of coverage. It is a one button device and very simple to use. Plus, the tone indicator makes it easy to know when to move on to the next area to treat,\u201d says Dr. Doherty. Aside from use on the face, he adds that it can be used on the neck, chest, and scars.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                      \u201cLED stands for light emitting diode, a light source that shines on (and penetrates into) the skin,\u201d\u00a0Dr. Jennifer MacGregor previously told Vogue<\/em>. Blue, red, and near-infrared are the most common: \u201cThe light penetrates into the skin and affects gene expression and cellular function leading to a variety of effects in the skin that are only partially understood.\u201d All that said, she emphasizes that red light therapy really works. \u201cHow it works and how much it works is related to the target indication, wavelength of light used (affects depth of penetration and action), how much power the light source has, and how long (duration) the light is used on the skin.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                      Are LED face masks effective?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                      \n
                      \n

                      \u201cStudies suggest that LED light therapy masks can benefit the skin,\u201d board-certified dermatologist Dr. Blair Murphy-Rose says. \u201cDepending on the device and wavelength of light, benefits include treating acne, promoting collagen production, preventing signs of aging including fine lines and wrinkles, decreasing inflammation, and reducing hyperpigmentation, among others. Results vary depending on the device, wavelength, consistency of use, and individual skin qualities.\u201d<\/p>\n

                      According to Murphy-Rose, data suggests that LED light therapy can work to promote hair growth, too. \u201cThe mechanism is believed to be light induced increase of blood flow supporting nutrient delivery, increased ATP generation to stimulate hair follicle cells, and decreased inflammation, which promotes growth and deters loss,\u201d she explains. \u201cData suggests red and near infrared light therapy in the range of 630-700nm and 810-850nm as the best for supporting hair growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                      Benefits of Light Therapy For Your Skin<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                      \n
                      \n

                      According to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Melanie Palm, the treatment works through different wavelengths of LED light to penetrate the skin at different depths to effectively combat acne, inflammation, swelling, signs of aging, collagen production, rosacea, and even minor wounds. Keep in mind that these work best to supplement a well-rounded routine of in-office treatments, a thorough skin-care routine, and consistent use.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                      \n
                      \n

                      Choose the light therapy color based on your desired results. \u201cFor example, someone with acne-prone skin might consider adding bacteria-killing blue-light therapy into their blemish-fighting skin-care routine, which would already include steps like cleansing, toning, and using topical acne-fighting serums formulated with retinol or AHAs\/BHAs,\u201d advises Dr. Palm. Below, more on the benefits of the most popular light therapy wavelengths.<\/p>\n

                      Red<\/strong>: Red light is the most popular wavelength\u2014\u201coften used for anti-aging benefits as it has been shown to stimulate collagen production as well as decreasing inflammation, promoting healing and improving circulation,\u201d per Murphy-Rose.<\/p>\n

                      Infrared<\/strong>: \u201cNear-infrared light has similar benefits as red light therapy but penetrates deeper into the skin,\u201d Murphy-Rose continues. It is often considered a more powerful treatment for wrinkles and skin elasticity.<\/p>\n

                      Blue<\/strong>: Blue light is a solid acne treatment as this light wavelength has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties which kills acne-causing bacteria.<\/p>\n

                      Yellow<\/strong>: \u201cYellow light is thought to help reduce redness, inflammation, and irritation,\u201d says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Mina Amin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                      \n
                      \n

                      The most robust data comes from studies of red (620-750nm), infrared (760-1400nm), and blue (450-495nm) light therapies, according to Murphy-Rose.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                      What\u2019s the difference between LED and red light therapy?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                      \n
                      \n

                      \u201cLED and red-light therapy are both light-based treatments, but they serve different purposes and work in distinct ways,\u201d explains board-certified dermatologist Dr. Pooja Rambhia. \u201cLED (Light-Emitting Diode) therapy encompasses a spectrum of monochromatic lights of different wavelengths each targeting specific skin concerns; for example blue light (470-480nm) targets acne-causing bacteria.\u201d Whereas, red light\u2014a specific type of LED therapy\u2014uses concentrated red wavelengths (630 \u2013 700nm) (or near-infrared light) to penetrate deeper into the dermis, where it stimulates mitochondrial activity, essentially powering up our cells\u2019 energy centers \u201cto reduce inflammation, increase cell regeneration, help healing properties, repair tissue, increase circulation, and relaxation,\u201d board-certified dermatologist Dr. Noah Gratch explains.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                      \n

                      What is the difference between red light therapy at-home verses an in-office treatment?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                      \n
                      \n

                      Rambhia explains that the key differences between at-home and in-office red light therapy lie in the devices\u2019 power, precision, and treatment protocols. \u201cProfessional in-office devices typically deliver higher energy outputs and more concentrated wavelengths, allowing for deeper penetration and potentially more efficient results in shorter treatment times,\u201d she says. \u201cIn-office treatments benefit from medical supervision and precise calibration of treatment parameters for each patient\u2019s specific needs. At-home devices, while more convenient and cost-effective for long-term use, generally have lower power outputs and may require longer or more frequent sessions to achieve similar results.\u201d This is because they\u2019re designed with consumer safety in mind, meant to be used without professional guidance, in order to avoid potential skin damage.<\/p>\n

                      The two treatments differ in specs as well: \u201cRed light therapy at home is measured in irradiance, whereas in the office it is measured in nanometers,\u201d Gratch notes. \u201cTreatments at home can range from 10 to 30 minutes, whereas treatments in the office are shorter and can last 10-20 minutes. Red light therapy in the office tends to be more powerful and results are much faster. However, there is a difference in cost\u2013red light therapy at home tends to be more cost-effective than in-office treatments.\u201d Lower costs means that more people can experience the benefits\u2014in our perspective, a worthwhile trade-off. To maximize the benefits of your at-home treatment, use it as often as your routine allows\u2014during your morning get-ready session, amidst busy computer work, or even an at-night Netflix viewing. The results are cumulative!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                      How to Choose an LED Face Mask<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                      \n
                      \n

                      When you choose an LED face mask, consider what you\u2019re looking to treat and how you plan on using it.<\/p>\n

                        \n
                      • LED Light Wavelengths<\/strong>: \u201cAcne-prone individuals would benefit from blue light; those more concerned with anti-aging or psoriasis would benefit from red-light therapy; and those with hyperpigmentation or minor scarring would benefit from green light,\u201d Dr. Palm says, noting that one should ideally use the mask three to four times per week for best results. She instructs us to avoid harsh or over-exfoliating products while using LED; rather, reach for gentle, moisturizing salves.<\/li>\n
                      • Technical Specs<\/strong>: Skin concerns and type of LED light aside, the technical specs can also be helpful in understanding which mask is for you. Someone interested in multitasking, say cleaning your space or getting some work done, while masking might appreciate a lightweight, cordless device. Someone who is interested in a mask for targeted areas of the face, like the eyes or miscellaneous dark spots, might gravitate toward a smaller gadget like a wand.<\/li>\n
                      • Eye Protection<\/strong>: Those with sensitive eyes may benefit from an LED mask featuring removable eye shields that can help limit the strain during your wear. Additionally, these goggles add a bit of padding to the orbital bone, alleviating any additional discomfort.<\/li>\n
                      • Wireless<\/strong>: Do you plan on multitasking during your ten minute-plus light therapy session, or will you be sitting still in a spa-like position? Understanding your schedule, and the reality of IRL usage, can also help inform which mask you choose. Realistically, someone keen on multitasking should pick a wireless option that does not require wielding around a cord or controller, whereas someone more still could care less. In our experience, it\u2019s a minor, but relevant bit to consider.<\/li>\n
                      • Warranty<\/strong>: When purchasing, just take a look at the warranty options for your mask of choice. Like any skin-care device, this tool is an investment you surely want to get fixed or even replace if something goes wrong. Consistent use, after all, is required to improve how skin looks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
                        \n

                        Are LED face masks safe?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                        \n
                        \n

                        While the advanced LED lights might feel intimidating, Dr. Palm explains that light therapy is considered safe with very little risk of side effects or overdoing the treatment; just opt for an FDA-cleared device, follow the instructions, and watch for any signs of irritation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                        How often should you use an LED face mask?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                        \n
                        \n

                        Dr. Amin recommends using an LED face mask three to five times per week for at least 12 weeks to see best results. But of course, specific instructions vary depending on your chosen device. \u201cChoose a reputable brand and follow manufacturer guidelines for best use,\u201d Dr. Murphy-Rose adds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                        Do LED masks need to be FDA-approved?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                        \n
                        \n

                        \u201cLED face masks don\u2019t technically need to be FDA approved to be sold, but I usually recommend choosing one that is FDA cleared or approved to make sure it has been reviewed for safety and effectiveness,\u201d Dr. Spearman states. \u201cUsing a cleared or approved product helps reduce the risk of irritation or harm and increases the chances of getting actual skin benefits.\u201d To be safe, all of the devices on our list here are FDA-cleared for at-home use.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                        \n
                        \n

                        What is the difference between FDA-approved and FDA-cleared?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                        \n
                        \n

                        Per Dr. Spearman, FDA-cleared means the device has been found to be similar to another product already on the market and considered safe for use, a common label given to at-home skincare devices. \u201cFDA approved means the product has gone through more advanced testing and clinical review, which is typically reserved for higher risk medical products,\u201d she says. “So while both are regulated by the FDA, \u2018cleared\u2019 is more common for beauty devices, and \u201capproved\u201d generally applies to more serious testing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                        \n
                        \n

                        Dr. Spearman\u2019s first tip is that consistency is key. \u201cFor best results, it\u2019s important to use the device several times a week, following the timing instructions closely, usually around ten minutes per session,\u201d she continues. \u201cOverusing the mask can cause irritation, so it\u2019s best to stick to the recommended routine. I also recommend combining LED treatments with a solid skincare routine, like using sunscreen during the day and a good moisturizer or serum. Lastly, choosing a mask that fits your specific skin goals, like red light for anti-aging or blue light for acne.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                        \n

                        Generally speaking, your chosen light therapy treatment should be used atop clean, dry skin. So, use the best face wash\u2014we love the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Gentle Facial Cleanser\u2014or, give skin a midday refresh with micellar water before you begin your light therapy treatment by following the instructions on your mask or wand. Once complete, follow with face serums carefully chosen to your concerns\u2014perhaps a vitamin C serum in the morning or a retinol at night\u2014eye cream and barrier-strengthening face cream by Chanel or Av\u00e8ne.<\/p>\n

                        How long does it take an LED face mask to work?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                        \n
                        \n

                        Reiterating Dr. Spearman\u2019s aforementioned point about consistency, how long it takes to see results is certainly dependent upon usage as directed. \u201cLED face masks don\u2019t work overnight, but you can start seeing small changes like reduced redness or smoother skin within a few weeks,\u201d she says. \u201cMore visible improvements, like better skin texture, fewer breakouts, or reduced fine lines, typically take about four to eight weeks of consistent use. Continued improvement usually happens with long term use over a few months.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                        Who should avoid using LED lights?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                        \n
                        \n

                        LED therapy is generally considered safe, though there are a few exceptions, according to Coppola.<\/p>\n

                          \n
                        • Photosensitive Conditions<\/strong>: \u201cAnyone with photosensitivity disorders (like lupus or porphyria) or who experiences light-induced migraines should avoid LED devices unless cleared by their provider.\u201d<\/li>\n
                        • Certain Medications<\/strong>: \u201cIf you\u2019re taking medications that increase light sensitivity (like isotretinoin, doxycycline, or certain anti-seizure drugs), LED therapy can cause adverse skin reactions. Always check with your prescribing doctor first.\u201d<\/li>\n
                        • Pregnancy<\/strong>: \u201cAlthough there\u2019s no strong evidence of harm, I advise pregnant patients to consult with their OB-GYN before starting any new light-based therapy.\u201d<\/li>\n
                        • Active Skin Infections or Rashes<\/strong>: \u201cAvoid using LED masks over active cold sores, open wounds, or inflamed skin conditions like eczema flare-ups. Wait until the skin barrier is intact.\u201d<\/li>\n
                        • Eye Conditions<\/strong>: \u201cIf you have a history of glaucoma or cataracts, you should not use LED therapy without consulting your ophthalmologist first, particularly with eye treatments,\u201d Sturm adds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                          As always, consult your physician or provider with any questions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                          \n
                          \n
                          \n
                          \n
                          \n

                          Can you buy a red light therapy mask with HSA\/FSA funds?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                          \n
                          \n

                          In some cases, red light therapy masks can be covered by HSA\/FSA funds\u2014but there\u2019s a catch. \u201cA letter of medical necessity if required from a physician, and the device must be used to treat medical concerns and not cosmetic ones. Eczema, acne, psoriasis, chronic pain, and wound healing issues are all considered medical conditions that are appropriate to treat with red light masks,\u201d says Dr. Doherty.<\/p>\n

                          Tran agrees, noting it\u2019s important to check with your specific HSA\/FSA plan administrator, as not all plans may cover red light therapy masks equally. She also advises saving your itemized receipt, in preparation for potential reimbursement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                          \n

                          When should you wear an LED face mask?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                          \n
                          \n

                          There\u2019s not set rule as to whether its best to sport your LED face mask day or night. The experts note that first and foremost, using your LED device consistently, and on clean skin is most important. That said, there are different benefits depending on what time of day you wear them. \u201cMorning treatments are ideal for an energy boost, to regulate oil control, and as a UV protection. Blue light treatments are also best used in the morning, because it can negatively impact sleeping,\u201d says Dr. Doherty. \u201cRed light is effective at night as it promotes relaxation and can increase production of melatonin.\u201d<\/p>\n

                          Tran agrees, noting that another perk of nighttime usage is not being rushed\u2014meaning you\u2019ll use the full recommended time. Skin repair processes peak at night, so LED therapy may synergize with them. However, morning is also okay, especially if you\u2019re targeting acne with blue light setting. For added relaxation, take a page from Nicole Kidman and meditate in yours. The most important thing is that you wear it if you\u2019re serious about getting real results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                            As you can tell\u2014be it from your own research or simply perusing our red light therapy content\u2014there are many, many devices to consider. In order to curate our edit of the best, we had to test them all first. Some masks didn\u2019t make it on our list because they were uncomfortable, are rarely in stock, or are too similar to leading models we already love\u2014others because we couldn\u2019t back their claims with dermatologist-guidance or clinical testing, and others we removed from previous years\u2019s lists when brands launched newer, more advanced models (looking at you Currentbody and Therabody). Below, some other red light therapy masks we\u2019ve tested over the years.<\/p>\n
