CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2
The CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 uses 236 LEDs at 633 nm, 830 nm, 1072 nm, in sessions of 10 min.
Brand-sponsored device studies. 633/830 nm are well studied; 1072 nm has thinner independent literature.

“Published irradiance” means the brand prints an output figure on its own product page. “FDA cleared” is not “FDA approved” — see the questions below.
Where they differ
- Wavelengths
- The CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 emits at 633 nm, 830 nm, 1072 nm. The Shark CryoGlow (FW312) emits at 415 nm, 630 nm, 830 nm. Both cover red and near-infrared, the two ranges with the strongest published evidence for skin.
- LED count
- The CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 carries more diodes: 236 against 160. Diode count sets how evenly light reaches the face — a coverage figure, not an efficacy figure.
- Published irradiance
- Only the CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 publishes an irradiance figure (~30 mW/cm²). The Shark CryoGlow (FW312) does not, so the dose the two masks deliver cannot be compared.
- Regulatory
- Neither prints a searchable 510(k) number; both state their clearance without one. These devices are FDA cleared, not FDA approved — clearance is a safety and manufacturing signal, not proof of results.
- Session and modes
- The CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 runs 10 min per session (single automatic programme). The Shark CryoGlow (FW312) runs 8 min (3 targeted programmes + under-eye cooling).
- Fit and power
- CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2: flexible silicone; rechargeable clip-on controller. Shark CryoGlow (FW312): rigid, multi-zone; corded USB-C (cooling needs power).
Evidence notes
What the specifications don’t tell you
Shark CryoGlow (FW312)
The Shark CryoGlow (FW312) uses 160+ (multi-zone) LEDs at 415 nm, 630 nm, 830 nm, in sessions of 8 min.
Two disclosed brand-run 12-week studies — more published data than most rivals here. The under-eye cooling is a comfort feature, not a light mechanism.
Questions
Common questions
What is the main specification difference between the CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 and the Shark CryoGlow (FW312)?
The CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 emits at 633 nm, 830 nm, 1072 nm. The Shark CryoGlow (FW312) emits at 415 nm, 630 nm, 830 nm. Both cover red and near-infrared, the two ranges with the strongest published evidence for skin.
Only the CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 publishes an irradiance figure (~30 mW/cm²). The Shark CryoGlow (FW312) does not, so the dose the two masks deliver cannot be compared.
Which has more LEDs, the CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 or the Shark CryoGlow (FW312)?
The CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 carries more diodes: 236 against 160. Diode count sets how evenly light reaches the face — a coverage figure, not an efficacy figure.
Are the CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 and the Shark CryoGlow (FW312) FDA cleared?
CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2: FDA cleared · CE. Shark CryoGlow (FW312): FDA cleared · CE/UKCA. Clearance under section 510(k) means the manufacturer showed substantial equivalence to a device already on the market and met safety standards — it is not FDA approval, and it is not evidence of efficacy.
