The verdict

Series 2 is CurrentBody's battery-powered red and near-infrared mask, FDA-cleared for full-face wrinkles. It suits you if you want a simple 10-minute routine for $100 less than Series 3. The catch is that CurrentBody gives no distance for its output figure, and its skin results come from its own studies.

The trade-off

You can't return it once opened unless your skin reacts, and the 30 mW/cm² figure has no stated distance.

About this price

List price for the mask alone on CurrentBody's US Series 2 page. CurrentBody's online store shows no sale price or crossed-out regular price. It lists the mask-alone option as available, but the page also carries an out-of-stock "Notify me" form, so check stock at checkout. Series 3 lists at $569.99. Tax and shipping are extra.

A GOOD FIT FOR

You want an FDA-cleared, battery-powered red light mask and don't need the extra colors Series 3 adds.

You want an FDA-cleared mask for full-face wrinkles and don't need extra light colors
You'd rather pay $469.99 than $569.99 for Series 3
You want a battery-powered mask with one button and nothing to subscribe to
You want to pay with HSA or FSA funds, which CurrentBody takes through Flex at checkout

THINK TWICE IF

You want blue, green or yellow light, which Series 3 adds
You're pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding
You have a photosensitive condition or take medication that makes you light-sensitive
You have glaucoma, cataracts or another eye condition, or get light-triggered headaches
You want output measured independently at a stated distance before you buy

What still needs checking

Power density at a stated distance, and whether any independent lab has measured it
Whether any peer-reviewed trial has tested Series 2 itself
Charge time and sessions per charge
Whether the warranty covers battery wear
Whether the battery can be replaced, and at what cost
Flicker and EMF levels, which CurrentBody doesn't publish
How long Series 2 will stay on sale now that Series 3 is out

The practical details.

LED count	236: 110 red, 110 at 830 nm and 16 at 1072 nm
Power density	30 mW/cm², distance not stated (18 J/cm² per 10-minute session in the FDA summary)
Session	10 minutes, 3 to 5 times a week for 8 weeks, with auto shut-off at 10 minutes
FDA status	510(k) K250966, cleared June 25, 2025, over the counter, for full-face wrinkles
Power	9.62 Wh lithium battery in the controller, USB-C charging, one on/off key
Dimensions	190 × 98 × 207 mm (length × width × height). CurrentBody gives the weight as 1,220 g ± 10 g.
Materials	Flexible liquid silicone, which CurrentBody calls "Best-Fit". In the FDA summary, the maker says the mask shells use the same materials as an earlier cleared device. It rests ISO 10993 biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, sensitization and irritation) on that match rather than describing new tests.

Before you buy

InstallationNone

None. A rechargeable lithium battery (3.7 V, 2,600 mAh, 9.62 Wh) sits in the clip-on controller and charges over USB-C. CurrentBody lists a 5.0 V, 1.0 A power output. The controller has one on/off key and switches the mask off after 10 minutes.

Warranty2 years from the order date, covering manufacturing defects

2 years from the order date, covering manufacturing defects. Damage from negligence, misuse or unauthorized modification isn't covered, and the warranty can't be transferred. For a confirmed fault in the first 6 months, CurrentBody pays return postage and offers a refund or like-for-like replacement. After that you pay postage and get a replacement or store credit.

ReturnsYou have 30 days to return it, but only new and unused…

You have 30 days to return it, but only new and unused, with all accessories, packaging and seals intact. You pay return shipping. Opened or used devices can't be returned for a change of mind. The exception is a skin reaction: if your skin is red or itchy 24 hours after CurrentBody's patch test, it says you can return the mask within 14 days for a full refund.

More about this assessment

Series 2 is CurrentBody's older LED mask, still sold beside the newer Series 3. It has 236 LEDs at three wavelengths: 633 nm red, plus 830 nm and 1072 nm near-infrared. The FDA cleared it in June 2025 as an over-the-counter device for full-face wrinkles. The FDA summary describes only the 220 LEDs at 633 nm and 830 nm. CurrentBody rates the output at 30 mW/cm² but doesn't say at what distance. Sessions last 10 minutes, powered by a rechargeable battery in a clip-on controller. The skin results on the product page come from CurrentBody's own studies at the labs SGS and Eurofins, with no journal publication cited.

Purchase + installation + years × (annual consumables + annual other) + watts/1000 × hours/day × 365 × years × $/kWh. Annualized allowances, not an exact replacement schedule. Excludes taxes, shipping, finance and resale unless entered.

Replacement parts & cost assumptions

No scheduled consumable is listed. That does not mean zero maintenance or repair costs.

Purchase is the $469.99 list price for the mask alone on Oct 13, 2026. Tax and shipping are extra.
Nothing needs replacing on a schedule. The $549.99 Special LED Kit adds five hydrogel masks and a 1.01 oz green tea serum for $80 more. Both are optional.
CurrentBody doesn't mention an app or subscription. The controller has a single on/off key.
Hours per day assume the top of CurrentBody's schedule: 10 minutes, 5 times a week, or about 0.12 hours a day.
CurrentBody doesn't publish power draw or charge time, so energy cost is unknown. For scale, one full charge of the 9.62 Wh battery is under 0.01 kWh.
Battery replacement cost isn't published. The 2-year warranty covers manufacturing defects only.

Evidence & sources.

Does red light therapy work? Our evidence review grades the research as Mixed. That grade is about the claim, not about this product.

Regulator recordThe FDA cleared the CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask Series 2 (model MK-90H) through 510(k) K250966 on June 25, 2025, as an over-the-counter device for full-face wrinkles.^{3, 4} Clearance means the FDA found it substantially equivalent to an earlier mask (K221946), not that it was proven in a trial. The summary says clinical testing wasn't needed. It describes 110 LEDs at 633 nm and 110 at 830 nm, at 30 mW/cm² for 10 minutes, and doesn't mention the 1072 nm LEDs.
Regulator recordThe 510(k) summary lists testing to IEC 60601-1 (electrical safety), IEC 60601-1-2 (electromagnetic compatibility), IEC 60601-1-11 (home use), IEC 60601-2-57 (light-source equipment), IEC 62471 (photobiological safety) and IEC 62133-2 (battery).⁴ These are tests the applicant reported to the FDA, not a separate certificate. For ISO 10993 biocompatibility, the summary relies on the mask using the same materials as earlier cleared devices. Electromagnetic compatibility covers interference with other equipment, not EMF exposure, and none of these is a flicker measurement.
Manufacturer claimCurrentBody reports an SGS study of 35 people over 56 days, with elasticity (R7) up 57.1%, hydration up 36.0% and crow's feet volume down 25.7%.¹ CurrentBody describes a single-centre study with sessions daily for 28 days, then 5 times a week for 28 days. That's more often than the 3 to 5 times a week on the product page. CurrentBody cites no journal publication for it, and the page doesn't describe a control group. So you can't tell how much of the change came from the mask.
Manufacturer claimCurrentBody reports a 56-day Eurofins study in 2025 with hydration up 35.3%, firmness up 17.0% and elasticity up 15.4%. Its study summary says 30 women aged 40 to 55 used the Series 2 face mask and the Series 2 neck mask.^{1, 5} The percentages appear on the Series 3 page, not the Series 2 page. That page gives 31 subjects, while the linked summary gives 30. Results cover the face, neck and chest, so they don't isolate the face mask. No journal publication is cited.
Manufacturer claimCurrentBody states a power density of 30 mW/cm² and lists 236 LEDs across three wavelengths.¹ No measurement distance is given, and CurrentBody cites no independent output measurement.
