Best Multipurpose: Therabody TheraFace PRO
Why We Love It: Want your light therapy with a side of percussive massage? Therabody’s TheraFace Pro is just for you. “This FDA-approved device helps with skin toning using microcurrent and tension-reducing, circulation-boosting facial massage,” medical aesthetician Audrey Matney previously said. It does so via a few handy attachments that fit interchangeably on the wand base. Attach the LED ring for a red, blue, or red + infrared treatment—which can also be utilized simultaneously with one of the percussive cones to relax facial muscles. Switch these out for the microcurrent wand to sculpt and tone; or, the cleansing ring to wipe away dirt and impurities.
Best Red Light Therapy Mask: CurrentBody Series 2 Mask
Why We Love It: Vogue-verified, CurrentBody’s original LED light therapy device—which launched in 2018—is internationally beloved by editors and celebrities alike. The flexible silicone device covers the entire face, and was clinically proven to reduce wrinkles by 35% in four weeks. The Series 2, launched this October, offers an upgrade on the cult-classic OG. “I love this new version of the device for its enhanced coverage and wearability,” Engelman says. “It features 236 LED bulbs that emit a combination of red, near-infrared, and deep near-infrared light. These varied wavelengths work together to boost collagen production, improve circulation, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.” The newer model was designed to comfortably fit a wider range of face sizes and shapes than the original mask, and it contours to the chin as well as to the face. It’s also equipped with new, multiway straps, which make the new device ultra-secure (according to the brand, it will even stay on during a pilates class.)
Best Clinically Reviewed: OmniLux Contour Face
Why We Love It: Another Vogue favorite, this device targets skin-care concerns ranging from fine lines and wrinkles to redness and dark spots, using two wavelengths of light: Red 633 nm and near-infrared 830 nm. “I like the Omnilux Contour Face red light device,” Hartman says. “It’s on the pricier end, but the contour shape fits nearly everyone comfortably and enables the red light to reach all around the face for maximum efficacy. The device is FDA-cleared for use and Omnilux backs up the claims with strong, clinically reviewed and published research.” As for how to optimize use, Bassiri-Therani explains that “For effective skin rejuvenation, the ideal red light wavelength falls between 600 to 700 nanometers,” elaborating that 630 to 660 nm targets the skin’s upper layers, promoting collagen and elastin, while wavelengths around 850 nm penetrate deeper, helping with muscle relaxation and circulation improvement.”
Best Customizable: Qure Q-Rejuvalight Pro LED Light Therapy Mask
Why We Love It: This dermatologist-tested mask has five treatments that target multiple skin concerns at a time. In fact, the app features two presets: Anti-Aging, which uses amber, red, deed red, and infrared light, and Anti-Breakout, which harnesses blue and red light. The treatments can be used on the whole face, or on select areas such as the cheeks, nose, and chin. Senior beauty shopping writer Kiana Murden notes in her review that the Qure device can tackle everything from. “Forehead breakouts require a different regimen than crow’s 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’s tool—which boasts unique, customizable features that allow users to personalize their treatment through an app.” “With consistent use, improved skin elasticity, smoothed fine lines, faded dark spots, and reduced inflammation are just a few of its results,” Murden notes.
