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 Omnilux Contour Face emits at 633 nm, 830 nm. The Silk’n LED Face Mask 100 emits at 463 nm, 592 nm, 633 nm. The Omnilux Contour Face 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.
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
Evidence notes
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.
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.

The Omnilux Contour Face emits at 633 nm, 830 nm. The Silk’n LED Face Mask 100 emits at 463 nm, 592 nm, 633 nm. The Omnilux Contour Face 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.
Neither brand publishes an irradiance figure, so the dose the two masks deliver cannot be compared from the specification sheets.
The Omnilux Contour Face carries more diodes: 132 against 100. Diode count sets how evenly light reaches the face — a coverage figure, not an efficacy figure.
Omnilux Contour Face: FDA cleared · CE · TGA (Australia). 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.
