Choosing the best LED Mask on the market can be a minefield, especially when they’re quite a hefty investment for your skin. Having tried the CurrentBody LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 1 before, which I loved, I’ve now excitingly got the CurrentBody LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 2 to review and share my thoughts on. I am a huge skincare lover, but as a mum I don’t really seem to find the time to do an extensive skincare routine. An LED Mask is perfect as the treatment program is only 10 minutes, so I pop it on before I go to sleep on an evening whilst I’m reading my kindle. It’s so easy and ideal for anyone with a busy lifestyle. If you want to find out a bit more about the CurrentBody Series 2 LED Face Mask then keep reading…
Why choose an LED Mask?
LED masks are a new innovative movement in the skincare industry that are designed to promote healthier and younger looking skin without being too invasive. Light therapy actually started out decades ago with the roots coming from NASA research in the early 1990s, where red and near-infrared LEDs were tested out to help astronauts heal wounds and reduce muscle loss in space. They managed to discover that certain light wavelengths would stimulate cell activity which resulted in speeding up the repair of the skin.
Following the discoveries from NASA, dermatologists began using LED treatments for anti-ageing and acne treatment, and LED devices became available in professional clinics in the late 1990s and 2000s. Fast-forward a few years, and LED Masks started becoming a big thing when celebrities posted themselves wearing them which ultimately turned them into a beauty trend. Which then brings us to today, where there is a wide range of LED Masks on the market ranging from budget options to high-end ones. So why choose the CurrentBody LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 2?
CurrentBody LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 2
Why choose this Mask?
The CurrentBody LED Red Light Therapy Series 2 Face Mask has 3 highly precise wavelengths red (633nm), near-infrared (830nm) and deep near-infrared (1072nm). Red light therapy boosts collagen production for younger-looking skin, resulting in a 30% reduction of wrinkles and a 57% increase in plumpness in just 8 weeks.
LED placement matters, that’s why the CurrentBody LED Red Light Therapy Series 2 Face Mask has LEDs evenly distributed across the face. Other masks tend to use multiple treatment modes which means they don’t always have active LEDs across key areas, leaving them underexposed. For LEDs to work effectively, they need that even distribution so that there’s an even treatment with no missed areas of the skin. With the Series 2, every zone is covered with the same power and wavelength.
Some examples:
The LEDs in the Series 2 Mask are precisely spaced to optimise light overlap and absorption beneath the surface of the skin, with optimal power and no unnecessary risk. Too few LEDs will lead to uneven coverage, but packing too many in will increase in overall power which can overstimulate and overheat the skin without giving better results. The LED Light Therapy Series 2 Mask has 236 bulbs, 110 red LED bulbs, 110 near-infrared LED bulbs, and 16 deep near-infrared LED bulbs, all spaced evenly and positioned regularly so that the beams overlap beneath the skin, giving you complete coverage.
Series 1 & Series 2 to compare:
Not all LEDs are equal either, lots of brands claim their LEDs are accurate within
±5nm, but when they’re tested most masks show big variations in wavelength output, which leads to inconsistent and unreliable results. The difference with the CurrentBody LED Red Light Therapy Series 2 Face Mask is that they own their production & testing, ensuring that every LED is consistent in wavelength and power. They have Veritace® verification which means they are the only brand who checks every single LED to ensure it’s the highest quality on the market.
My Personal Thoughts On The CurrentBody LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 2
As I mentioned at the beginning of the post, my absolute favourite aspect about using this LED face mask is that it’s so easy to quickly pop on when I get into bed. I never have time for an extensive skincare routine but I really care about looking after my skin. I’m in my early thirties now so I’m all about anti-ageing skincare and reducing wrinkles where I can. I suffer with a lot of redness and after the 10 minute treatment, I can already see that it’s massively reduced. I’ve been using it for a little over a week so far, and I’m already beginning to see great results – with a more even skin tone, less fine lines and a much brighter and healthier looking complexion.
My before & after results following a weeks use:
Looking after your skin is so important but we all age and if you want healthier, brighter and younger looking skin, I would highly recommend the CurrentBody LED Red Light Therapy Series 2 Face Mask. It’s such a good investment for your natural skin, and you won’t regret it!
