Full-coverage mask with multiple wavelengths for skin radiance support
CurrentBody’s red light therapy Series 2 mask is a standout option worth considering for your skincare routine. Positioned at the higher end of the market, it’s specifically designed with visible aging signs in mind and specs suggesting it’s built to deliver. The mask truly stands out for the full-coverage design—it wraps the entire face from forehead to chin and ear to ear, offering a more even light exposure than most rivals. That said, it’s not the mask for everyone. The Series 2 is best suited for those with mature skin looking to target fine lines, texture, and tone. If you’re simply after general maintenance, there may be better options to explore.
Pros
- FDA-cleared and IEC-compliant
- Triple wavelengths
- Chin strap for more coverage
- Eye protection inserts included
Cons
- Premium price
- Takes 4.5 hours to fully charge
- No control over settings
CurrentBody is a popular premium brand bringing a variety of red light therapy (RLT) devices into people’s homes. Although it’s not the most affordable option, the brand has built a strong reputation and loyal customer base—likely the reason you’re reading this review in the first place.

As an avid skincare enthusiast, testing red light therapy masks at Wareable has become a bit of a personal mission, and I can fairly say I’m becoming an expert in this category of health tech. About 4 weeks ago, the CurrentBody red light therapy Series 2 mask landed on my desk for an in-depth test.
Quite soon, I realized this mask isn’t ideal for my own skin type. It’s clearly designed for more mature skin, aiming to support skin rejuvenation and soften the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture over consistent use.
In this article, I discuss my results, dig into the specs and underlying science to see whether it may realistically help improve visible signs of aging, and break down the Series 2 mask design, pricing, and how it compares against more affordable options.
CurrentBody red light therapy: What you’re actually getting with Series 2
Before you commit to something you’ll use long-term, you need to know what you’re buying—settings, session time, and ease of use. For red light therapy masks, wavelengths are the first to look into, as they determine how deep the light may penetrate and what changes may occur.
The Series 2 mask uses 3 wavelengths: 633nm red, 830nm near-infrared (NIR), and 1072nm deep near-infrared. While the first two are industry standards, the 1072nm is far more rare.
Getting into the scientific side, research on this wavelength is a bit sparse. Yet, I found a clinical trial that documented self-reported improvements in fine lines, wrinkles, and under-eye bags. It was also noted that 1072nm may penetrate deeper into the skin than shorter wavelengths, giving it potential for skin rejuvenation.
That said, with only 16 of the 236 LEDs in the CurrentBody red light therapy mask emitting this wavelength, you can think of it as a bonus feature rather than the main one.
Red and NIR wavelengths are among the more commonly studied for skin application. Some studies suggested that these wavelengths may be associated with increased ATP activity in the mitochondria and may support circulation, as well as collagen and elastin levels. Reports also showed potential benefits for skin texture, fine lines, and inflammation.
Is it simple to use?
The Series 2 is actually straightforward: a single mode that shines all three wavelengths at once, with no intensity or session adjustment. Put it on clean skin, press the button, and the auto-shutoff handles the rest.
However, I’m not sure if it’s a beginner-friendly device. It’s designed for mature skin, is quite pricey, and operates at 30mW/cm² irradiance—all of which may be a bit too much for your first red light mask.
Sessions are locked at 10 minutes, and the brand recommends using the mask up to 5 times per week. Though, I stuck to 3–4 sessions per week to be safe.
The annoying part? Charging takes 4.5 hours, so you’ll need to plan ahead. At least the upside is that the battery performs really well—in my case, it lasted around 12 sessions per charge, and I only recharged it twice during testing.
My impression of the CurrentBody Series 2 design
The first thing I noticed upon receiving the CurrentBody’s red light therapy mask was the flexible liquid silicone construction—it feels soft, moldable, and lightweight despite its size. The interior has a slight texture from the LEDs, but it doesn’t feel plasticky or rigid like other masks I’ve tried.
The multiway strap system also worked quite well. It remained secure and stable even when I moved around, though some other testers at Wareable found the straps too long to fit properly. So, I believe this varies person-to-person.
One drawback I want to point out is that the straps don’t come pre-assembled. I had to find and watch a YouTube tutorial to attach them correctly, which definitely added some inconvenience to the setup process.
Beyond all that, the actual standout feature is the full-face coverage with a chin strap—it’s probably the first silicone red light therapy mask I’ve tested with this design. The chin coverage may take a couple of sessions to get used to, but I believe it’s valuable. While red light therapy isn’t a substitute for clinical treatments, it may help support skin firmness and contour areas prone to sagging, like the lower jawline.
Unboxing and first session
Inside the box you’ll find:
- CurrentBody Skin LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 2
- Multiway strap system
- USB-C charging cord
- Storage bag
- Eye protection inserts
- NFC card
- User manual
Before you use it, there are several steps to take: you’ll need to charge the mask, attach the straps, read the manual, and complete a 24-hour sensitivity test. So, CurrentBody Series 2 will take you at least a day to start using.
Also, carefully read all warnings and contraindications, and if anything concerns you—check with your healthcare provider before use.
Is the CurrentBody Series 2 mask worth the investment?
The Series 2 red light therapy mask is priced at $469.99 and is undeniably a premium device. But considering its specs, maximized coverage, certifications, and included accessories, the cost becomes a lot more justifiable than it first appears.
Budget-friendly masks typically offer fewer wavelengths and LEDs, a looser fit, and reduced coverage. They may still deliver comparable effects, but also bring quite a few inconveniences. So, if you have a specific anti-aging goal and want a comfortable, worry-free device for mature skin, I believe the Series 2 is a good investment.
Besides, the 2-year warranty and 30-day money-back guarantee add financial security to your CurrentBody purchase. Just keep in mind that for a full refund, the mask must be unused and in the original packaging.
Performance: Who may benefit most?
CurrentBody Series 2 is positioned for mature skin with fine lines, wrinkles, and age-related sagging. According to the brand, results may become visible after 8+ weeks of consistent use, ideally combined with a fitting skincare routine, healthy diet, and habits.
Since these don’t currently apply to my skin, I focused on the underlying technology’s potential to support skin tone, texture, and overall radiance. My 4-week testing period gave me a sense of the mask’s usability and short-term effects, even though I wasn’t able to evaluate its primary anti-aging claims.
My experience week by week
As with most red light therapy masks, the first two weeks brought almost no noticeable changes. With my dry and slightly sensitive skin, adjustment always takes time.
I experienced mild redness and dry skin post-sessions, but it’s quite normal for the adaptation period. However, if your skin feels irritated or itchy after a session, definitely contact your healthcare provider.
By the third week, my skin seemed to get used to the Series 2 mask. I noticed slightly improved hydration and softer texture—nothing too dramatic. After the full testing period, my skin barrier felt more comfortable, it was less reactive to makeup, and I noticed the appearance of fewer pores.
Overall, CurrentBody Series 2 performance during those 4 weeks was comparably similar to other red light therapy masks I’ve tested. Yet, I did find the sessions more convenient.
How to incorporate it into your routine
Step 1: Clean your skin using a gentle, non-drying cleanser. Don’t skip this step, as product buildup may affect light penetration.
Step 2: Pat your skin dry and start a 10-minute session.
Step 3: Wait 5–10 minutes for your skin to calm before continuing with your skincare products.
Step 4: Apply hydrating tones, serums like niacinamide or vitamin C, then eye cream, and moisturizer. If you’re using the mask in the morning—add sunscreen, and you’re ready to go.
Note that on the days you use the mask, you should avoid retinoids, glycolic acid, BHA, and AHA. Consider using them on alternate days to avoid irritating your skin too much.
CurrentBody Series 2 vs. alternatives
CurrentBody Series 2 isn’t the only good option on the market. Together with the Wareable team, I tested many other red light therapy masks that delivered similar results or offered standout features I preferred. That said, the Series 2 remains one of the most convenient masks I’ve tried—and it’s rare for positioning itself toward mature skin rather than general skin appearance support.

My final verdict on CurrentBody Series 2
Personally, I won’t be adding the CurrentBody red light therapy Series 2 mask to my shopping cart anytime soon. I’m not the target audience for this mask, and more affordable alternatives are enough to handle my current needs.
That said, I find Series 2 compelling, especially for those with mature skin seeking a dedicated device aimed at visible signs of aging. The triple wavelengths, maximized face coverage, and comfortable fit truly make it stand out. If that sounds appealing to you, this mask may be worth the investment as a long-term skincare companion that will serve you well for many years to come.
