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.
The short answer
The Nanoleaf LED Light Therapy Face Mask emits at 640 nm, 850 nm. The The Light Salon Boost Advanced emits at 633 nm, 830 nm. Both cover red and near-infrared, the two ranges with the strongest published evidence for skin.
Only the The Light Salon Boost Advanced publishes an irradiance figure (~30 mW/cm² · ~18 J/cm² per session). The Nanoleaf LED Light Therapy Face Mask 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
Evidence notes
The Nanoleaf LED Light Therapy Face Mask uses 432 LEDs at 640 nm, 850 nm, in sessions of 10–20 min.
FDA cleared with the second-highest diode count here, but 640/850 nm sit slightly off the most-studied 633/830 nm peaks, and the build is less substantial than the silicone masks.
The The Light Salon Boost Advanced uses 112 (56 × 633 nm · 56 × 830 nm) LEDs at 633 nm, 830 nm, in sessions of 10 min.
Publishes both a per-session dose and a verifiable FDA clearance number — rare transparency for a consumer brand.
Questions
The Nanoleaf LED Light Therapy Face Mask emits at 640 nm, 850 nm. The The Light Salon Boost Advanced emits at 633 nm, 830 nm. Both cover red and near-infrared, the two ranges with the strongest published evidence for skin.
Only the The Light Salon Boost Advanced publishes an irradiance figure (~30 mW/cm² · ~18 J/cm² per session). The Nanoleaf LED Light Therapy Face Mask does not, so the dose the two masks deliver cannot be compared.
The Nanoleaf LED Light Therapy Face Mask carries more diodes: 432 against 112. Diode count sets how evenly light reaches the face — a coverage figure, not an efficacy figure.
Nanoleaf LED Light Therapy Face Mask: FDA cleared · CE. The Light Salon Boost Advanced: FDA 510(k) K191629 · CE. 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.
