Both clearances are real and current. The difference is who holds them. K230293 is filed by Therabody, Inc. - the brand you are buying from. K250966 is filed by Shenzhen Kaiyan Medical Equipment Co. Ltd., the contract manufacturer that also builds masks for HigherDOSE, KALA and others.

This is a completely normal arrangement and not a criticism of CurrentBody. It does mean that if you want the shortest possible accountability chain between the regulatory filing and the company whose name is on the box, Therabody has it.

Each mask has a third wavelength the other lacks, and they point in different directions. CurrentBody adds 1072 nm deep near-infrared, aimed at depth. Therabody adds 415 nm blue, aimed at acne.

The blue is the more defensible addition in evidence terms: the porphyrin mechanism behind blue-light acne treatment is well described, and 415 nm is the wavelength the clinical work uses. The case for 1072 nm rests on penetration depth, with no published evidence that the extra depth changes a cosmetic outcome.

Note though that the TheraFace is not cleared for acne - its clearance is in the wrinkle-reduction code. The blue diodes are there as a feature. If acne is your actual concern, the Shark CryoGlow's clearance names it.

Therabody publishes a weight, which almost nobody does, and the number is 514 grams. That is substantial. It is the cost of fitting vibration hardware into a rigid shell, and it affects whether you can comfortably do anything other than lie down during a session.

The Series 2 is silicone and light enough to move around in. For a ten-minute session three to five times a week, that difference compounds.

Wins on fit

CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask Series 2

CurrentBody · Best for most faces

Flexible silicone lies flat against the cheekbones, where irradiance falls off fastest with distance. Three wavelengths including 1072 nm, and K250966 naming the exact model.

The three-wavelength silicone mask that made CurrentBody the default recommendation, and the one device in this comparison whose exact 510(k) we can cite.

Specifications

Wavelengths	633 nm red, 830 nm near-infrared, 1072 nm deep near-infrared
LEDs	236 bulbs
Irradiance	Not published by the manufacturer
Session	10 minutes, 3-5 times a week
Clearance	K250966, 25 June 2025, product code OHS

FDA clearance located

510(k) K250966 (CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask Series 2, model MK-90H, cleared 25 June 2025, applicant Shenzhen Kaiyan Medical Equipment Co., Ltd., product code OHS - light-based over-the-counter wrinkle reduction).

What works

• A 510(k) number we located for this exact model and can cite
• Three wavelengths including 1072 nm
• Nearly twice the diode count of the Omnilux

What does not

• No irradiance figure published anywhere, so diode count cannot be converted into delivered dose
• No blue light on this model
• Superseded in the lineup by the Series 3, which affects resale and support horizon

Wins on coverage and paperwork

Therabody TheraFace Mask

Therabody · Best for diode density and a published warranty

648 diodes, blue light included, K230293 cleared under Therabody's own name rather than a contract manufacturer's, and a one-year warranty published where you can read it before buying.

The highest diode count of the rigid masks, with vibration therapy layered on top of three wavelengths.

Specifications

Wavelengths	633 nm red, 830 nm near-infrared, 415 nm blue
LEDs	648
Irradiance	Not published by the manufacturer
Session	3-9 minutes depending on program
Warranty	1-year limited
Clearance	K230293, 9 June 2023, product code OHS

FDA clearance located

510(k) K230293 (TheraFace Mask, cleared 9 June 2023, applicant Therabody, Inc., product code OHS - light-based over-the-counter wrinkle reduction).

What works

• A located 510(k) for this exact device
• Red, near-infrared and blue in one mask with a published warranty
• Vibration is a real differentiator if you use it for tension as well as skin

What does not

• No published irradiance
• Rigid, heavy, and it sits away from the skin at the cheekbones
• Vibration adds cost that does nothing for the photobiomodulation case

Specifications from Therabody product page; FDA 510(k) K230293, checked 13 October 2026.

• CurrentBody Series 2 if fit matters, if you want 1072 nm, or if you want to be able to move during a session.
• Therabody TheraFace Mask if you want blue light in the same device, if a published warranty matters, or if you want a clearance held by the brand itself.
• Neither if you want a published irradiance figure. Neither brand provides one, and the Omnilux is the only mainstream mask that does.
