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 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 Omnilux Contour Face 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 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 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 Omnilux Contour Face emits at 633 nm, 830 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 Omnilux Contour Face does not, so the dose the two masks deliver cannot be compared.
The Omnilux Contour Face carries more diodes: 132 against 112. Diode count sets how evenly light reaches the face — a coverage figure, not an efficacy figure.
Omnilux Contour Face: FDA cleared · CE · TGA (Australia). 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.
