LED face masks · head to head
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.

“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
Evidence notes
The Dr. Renú SpectraLift™ Advanced uses 280 LEDs at 465 nm, 530 nm, 630–660 nm, 850 nm, in sessions of ~10 min.
Publishes an irradiance figure and states spectrometer testing. Its own efficacy testing is brand-run. The 465 nm blue and 530 nm green are less evidenced than the red and near-infrared.
The Omnilux Contour Face uses 132 LEDs at 633 nm, 830 nm, in sessions of 10 min.
The Omnilux LED platform is referenced across 40+ peer-reviewed papers over 20+ years — the deepest clinical heritage in the category, though consumer-mask-specific data is still brand-linked.
Questions
The Dr. Renú SpectraLift™ Advanced emits at 465 nm, 530 nm, 630–660 nm, 850 nm. The Omnilux Contour Face emits at 633 nm, 830 nm. Both cover red and near-infrared, the two ranges with the strongest published evidence for skin.
Only the Dr. Renú SpectraLift™ Advanced publishes an irradiance figure (up to 50 mW/cm²). The Omnilux Contour Face does not, so the dose the two masks deliver cannot be compared.
The Dr. Renú SpectraLift™ Advanced carries more diodes: 280 against 132. Diode count sets how evenly light reaches the face — a coverage figure, not an efficacy figure.
Dr. Renú SpectraLift™ Advanced: FDA 510(k) K253712, Class II · CE · ISO 13485 · IEC 60601 · IEC 62471. Omnilux Contour Face: FDA cleared · CE · TGA (Australia). 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.
