The 18 Best LED Face Masks Of 2025, According To Experts & Vogue Editors

Why it’s Vogue-approved:

Clinically proven to reduce wrinkles by an impressive 35 per cent in just four weeks, CurrentBody’s LED Mask is also a hit with a number of celebrities. With red and near-infrared, it won’t target acne-prone skin (as it doesn’t offer blue light), but it is brilliant for general luminosity, collagen boosting and skin smoothing. And to add to that? It’s made from patented flexible silicone, which isn’t just comfortable, but it also ensures light covers every area of the face. It’s a yes from us. “I love using this mask. Not only do I see genuine results with better clarity and improved bounce when I use it regularly, but it’s comfortable to wear and simple to activate. A great option if you’re new to LED.” – Vogue contributing editor, Georgia Day.

This device also ranks high on dermatologist Dr. Nicole Ruth’s list. “I find CurrentBody’s face mask sits nicely on the curvatures of your face, allowing even coverage on the skin surface without any gaps,” she says.

Shark’s CryoGlow LED face mask is all over social media right now for good reason. With 480 LED lights and four targeted treatment modes (including Better Ageing, Blemish Repair, Skin Sustain and Under-Eye Cooling), it’s a multitasking wonder that has been clinically proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, boost luminosity and improve blemishes and skin roughness. All that while also helping to cool and depuff the eye area, which is an absolute dream the morning after the night before.

• Mask Type: Rigid

If hair growth is a concern for you, then this is the LED mask you should try. Clinically proven to increase hair growth rate by a huge 128 per cent in 12 weeks, it may look a little out-of-this-world, but the results it delivers more than make up for it. Emitting a spectrum of red light (from 620-660nm), it supercharges energy in the hair follicles, reduces inflammation (which is responsible for so many of our hair and scalp issues) and boosts scalp blood flow, thereby promoting hair growth.

It works especially well when paired with hair growth treatments – make sure you use it for 10 minutes a day for optimal results. “Hair thinning is something that has affected me since having children, and as anyone who has experienced it will tell you, it can be really demoralising. I love that this is simple to use but has such efficacious clinical trials behind it. I wear mine while watching a box set in the evening and barely notice it is on.” – Vogue contributing editor, Georgia Day

Key specs:

• Light Modes: Red (between 620 and 660nm)
• Mask Type: Helmet
• Treatment Time: 10 minutes
• Wireless: Yes

Omnilux’s dermatologist-approved red light mask works on a cellular level to reduce fine lines, sun damage and visible signs of ageing. Using two wavelengths of light – red 633nm and near-infrared 830nm – to stimulate collagen, you will see improved skin tone and firmness within four to six weeks (the brand recommends using the mask three to five times a week for four to six weeks to see the best results.)

Key specs:

• Light Modes: Red and near infrared
• Mask Type: Flexible

Though it’s not a mask, the Solawave wand is one of our favourite LED light therapy tools – and it’s especially good for travelling. Many Vogue editors have developed quite a penchant for this multi-purpose device, which combines four treatments in one. As well as red light therapy, it offers microcurrent technology, facial massage and therapeutic warmth, and targets dark spots, blemishes and fine lines. Solawave recommends using the wand for five minutes, three times per week. “Most of the time, LED devices are large and fairly clunky. Which is fine, but how refreshing to find something so potent and so portable. I love how easy this is to simply swipe over your face and neck, and how relaxing it feels too. A great option if you’re on a plane and it feels a bit much to whip out a big face mask.” ­– Vogue contributing editor, Georgia Day

Many LED devices are marketed as “bringing the clinic home”, but this one actually lives up to those claims. A powerful, medical-grade brand favoured by top facialists, the Dermalux Flex has been attenuated for safe home use by non-trained professionals. It still delivers salon results, though, with 360 lights configured to deliver clinically proven wavelengths for targeting acne, ageing and even muscle aches. We love that it can be placed above the face and body for all-over rejuvenation, as does Kate Moss, who’s also a fan of this device. “I use the Dermalux LED device in my clinic and I am a fan of the results it offers,” says Yoo. “It’s worth noting that this home-use device will be weaker than an in-clinic LED device, but it has great specs as far as efficacy is concerned.”

Key specs:

• Light Modes: Blue (415nm), red (633nm) and near infrared (830nm)
• Mask Type: Flexible
• Treatment Time: 30 minutes
• Wireless: No

MZ Skin’s Lightmax patches use near-infrared and red light therapy at clinically proven wavelengths of 830nm and 630nm, respectively – and they make light work of targeting the delicate eye area. According to beauty writer, Tracy Achonwa, 10 minutes is all it takes to see a difference to tired eyes, with results that get better over time. You’ll also find a softening in laughter and eleven lines – wherever you want targeted LED treatment, you can stick these nifty patches.

Modestly priced compared to its counterparts, Sensse Pro’s mask is our pick for LED therapy on a budget.

There’s a reason this Dr Dennis Gross LED mask always sells out. Having tested it extensively ourselves, we’ve found that it’s a brilliant mask for those who are short of time or want to incorporate LED into their routine, but never find a moment to actually do it. Each treatment “session” is just three minutes, which means the red, blue or red-blue combo lights (of which there are 162) get to work quickly. From evening out skin tone and texture to softening fine lines and discolouration, it’s truly brilliant. This dermatologist-developed mask also stimulates collagen production and clears up breakouts. “I specifically designed this device to be easily incorporated into your everyday routine with one three-minute daily treatment,” Dr Dennis Gross tells Vogue.

• Key specs:
• Light Modes: Red (630nm) and blue (415nm)
• Mask Type: Rigid
• Treatment Time: Three minutes
• Wireless: Yes
• Device type: Face mask
• Best for: Beneficial for ageing or acne-prone skin, the device smooths fine lines and wrinkles, minimises the appearance of sun and age spots, and tames redness and inflammation.
• Target area: Face
• Good to know: While a combination red and blue light treatment is great for overall skin health, it can also be used with isolated red or blue lights to boost collagen or treat breakouts, respectively.

“Higher Dose’s LED Mask uses red LED light, which is particularly good for collagen production and blood circulation. Within just a couple of weeks, I noticed an improvement in the evenness of my complexion; make-up could be applied more easily, and my skin seemed less prone to breakouts. Fast-forward three months, and these benefits have only been elevated, alongside a marked softening of the early-30s fine lines that had been creeping in over the last 12 months. And during the busy fashion month season, that’s nothing short of a miracle.” — Vogue shopping editor, Joy Montgomery
