Shark CryoGlow (FW312) vs
Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo

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 Shark CryoGlow (FW312) emits at 415 nm, 630 nm, 830 nm. The Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo emits at 415 nm, 633 nm, 830 nm. Both cover red and near-infrared, the two ranges with the strongest published evidence for skin.

Neither brand publishes an irradiance figure, so the dose the two masks deliver cannot be compared from the specification sheets.

“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 Shark CryoGlow (FW312) emits at 415 nm, 630 nm, 830 nm. The Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo emits at 415 nm, 633 nm, 830 nm. Both cover red and near-infrared, the two ranges with the strongest published evidence for skin.
LED count
The Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo carries more diodes: 504 against 160. Diode count sets how evenly light reaches the face — a coverage figure, not an efficacy figure.
Published irradiance
Neither brand publishes an irradiance figure, so the dose the two masks deliver cannot be compared from the specification sheets.
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 Shark CryoGlow (FW312) runs 8 min per session (3 programas específicos + enfriamiento para el contorno de ojos). The Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo runs 12 min (3 longitudes de onda + vibración).
Fit and power
Shark CryoGlow (FW312): rígida, multizona; con cable USB-C (el enfriamiento necesita alimentación). Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo: semirrígida, sin cable; recargable, sin cable.

Σημειώσεις

Τι αξίζει να προσέξετε

Shark CryoGlow (FW312)

The Shark CryoGlow (FW312) uses 160+ (multizona) LEDs at 415 nm, 630 nm, 830 nm, in sessions of 8 min.

Dos estudios de 12 semanas realizados por la marca y divulgados públicamente — más datos publicados que la mayoría de sus rivales aquí. El enfriamiento del contorno de ojos es una función de confort, no un mecanismo lumínico.

Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo

The Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo uses 504 LEDs at 415 nm, 633 nm, 830 nm, in sessions of 12 min.

Cita un estudio con 104 participantes, el mayor que la marca reivindica en esta categoría — realizado por la propia marca. La vibración es un extra de confort, no un mecanismo cutáneo.
