CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 vs
Silk’n LED Face Mask 100
Two of the nine LED face masks in our comparison table, side by side. Every figure below is one the manufacturer publishes itself; where a brand stays silent the cell says so.
The short answer
The CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 emits at 633 nm, 830 nm, 1072 nm. The Silk’n LED Face Mask 100 emits at 463 nm, 592 nm, 633 nm. The CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 covers both red and near-infrared, the two ranges with the strongest published evidence for skin; the Silk’n LED Face Mask 100 does not.
Only the CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 publishes an irradiance figure (~30 mW/cm²). The Silk’n LED Face Mask 100 does not, so the dose the two masks deliver cannot be compared.

“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 Silk’n LED Face Mask 100 emits at 463 nm, 592 nm, 633 nm. The CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 covers both red and near-infrared, the two ranges with the strongest published evidence for skin; the Silk’n LED Face Mask 100 does not.
- LED count
- The CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 carries more diodes: 236 against 100. 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 Silk’n LED Face Mask 100 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 Silk’n LED Face Mask 100 runs ~10 min (4 colours).
- Fit and power
- CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2: flexible silicone; rechargeable clip-on controller. Silk’n LED Face Mask 100: semi-rigid; rechargeable, ~130 min runtime.
Evidence notes
What the specifications don’t tell you
Silk’n LED Face Mask 100
The Silk’n LED Face Mask 100 uses 100 LEDs at 463 nm, 592 nm, 633 nm, in sessions of ~10 min.
A cosmetic device rather than a certified medical one. Its 463 nm and 592 nm are less evidence-backed than the core red and near-infrared.
Questions
Common questions
What is the main specification difference between the CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 and the Silk’n LED Face Mask 100?
The CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 emits at 633 nm, 830 nm, 1072 nm. The Silk’n LED Face Mask 100 emits at 463 nm, 592 nm, 633 nm. The CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 covers both red and near-infrared, the two ranges with the strongest published evidence for skin; the Silk’n LED Face Mask 100 does not.
Only the CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 publishes an irradiance figure (~30 mW/cm²). The Silk’n LED Face Mask 100 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 Silk’n LED Face Mask 100?
The CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 carries more diodes: 236 against 100. 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 Silk’n LED Face Mask 100 FDA cleared?
CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2: FDA cleared · CE. Silk’n LED Face Mask 100: CE marked cosmetic device — no FDA clearance for this model. 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.
