Head to head
Omnilux Contour Face vs CurrentBody Series 2
This is the comparison everyone searches and nobody resolves properly, because the two masks are strong on opposite axes: one publishes its irradiance, the other publishes a clearance number. You have to decide which you trust more.

Regulation
The clearance question
CurrentBody's Series 2 returns a clean record: K250966, cleared 25 June 2025, applicant Shenzhen Kaiyan Medical Equipment Co. Ltd., model MK-90H, product code OHS. That is the wrinkle-reduction code, which matches the claim.
Omnilux states FDA clearance for the Contour Face. We searched the public database by device name, by the Omnilux brand and by both Globalmed Technologies and Photo Therapeutics as applicants. Nothing came back under Contour. What does exist for the brand is K072459, Omnilux New-U, cleared in March 2008 under the same OHS code, and K210948 for Omnilux CLEAR under the acne code.
Output
The irradiance question, which runs the other way
Here the roles reverse completely. Omnilux states roughly 30 mW/cm2 for the Contour line. CurrentBody publishes no irradiance figure for any mask in its range.
This matters more than the diode count both brands lead with. Dose is irradiance multiplied by time. With the Omnilux figure you can at least estimate what a session delivers. With the Series 2 you know it has 236 diodes and runs for ten minutes, and you cannot convert that into anything. 236 diodes at an unknown output is not comparable to 132 diodes at a known one.
We want to be careful here: a brand-stated figure is not a measured one, and ~30 mW/cm2 has not been independently verified any more than CurrentBody's silence has been investigated. Publishing a number you can be held to is still better than publishing nothing. Why irradiance decides this category.
1072 nm
Is the third wavelength worth it?
The Series 2 adds 1072 nm deep near-infrared, which the Contour Face does not carry. Omnilux reserves that wavelength for its Men model.
1072 nm penetrates further than 830 nm. That is physics and it is not in dispute. What is not established is whether the extra depth produces a different cosmetic outcome on facial skin, and neither brand publishes an irradiance at 1072 nm specifically, so you cannot even tell how much of it is being delivered.
Our position: treat 1072 nm as a tiebreaker, never as the reason. If you are choosing between two masks you would otherwise buy, it is a fair thumb on the scale. If it is the reason you are replacing a working mask, it is not enough.
Living with it
Fit, session length and the practical stuff
- Both are flexible silicone, which is the right answer. Neither has the stand-off problem that rigid shells have at the cheekbones and nose.
- Session length differs in a way that matters. CurrentBody specifies ten minutes. Omnilux does not publish a session length on the product page, which is an odd gap on a device where dose is time-dependent.
- Coverage is similar and neither reaches the neck. Both brands sell a separate neck panel, which is a second purchase worth thinking about before you start.
- Neither publishes a warranty length where a buyer can find it before purchase. For devices in this price bracket that is a genuine criticism of both.
In detail
Every pick, and why
Wins on regulatory evidence
CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask Series 2
CurrentBody · Best for buyers who want a clearance they can look up
K250966, cleared 25 June 2025 for this exact model. Three wavelengths including 1072 nm, 236 diodes, a ten-minute session. The one thing it will not tell you is how much light reaches your skin.
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 published output
Omnilux Contour Face
Omnilux · Best for buyers who want a number they can reason about
~30 mW/cm2 brand-stated across 132 diodes at 633 and 830 nm. It is the only mainstream mask that publishes irradiance at all. The clearance record is the problem: nothing returns under the Contour Face name.
A flexible silicone full-face mask running two wavelengths, red and near-infrared, with the highest published irradiance figure of any mainstream consumer mask.
Specifications
| Wavelengths | 633 nm red, 830 nm near-infrared |
|---|---|
| LEDs | 132 (66 red, 66 near-infrared) across 66 dual-chip bulbs |
| Irradiance | ~30 mW/cm2, brand-stated, not independently verified |
| Protocol | 3-5 sessions a week for 4-6 weeks, then maintenance |
| Warranty | Not published on the product page |
FDA clearance not located
Omnilux states FDA clearance for the Contour Face. We could not locate a 510(k) record under that device name in the public FDA database. The wrinkle-reduction clearance on file for the brand is K072459 (Omnilux New-U, March 2008).
What works
- Publishes an irradiance figure at all, which most of this category does not
- Two clinically studied wavelengths with no filler colors padding the spec sheet
- Flexible silicone sits flat against the cheekbones and jaw
What does not
- No blue light, so it is the wrong mask if acne is your main concern
- No 1072 nm, which is the one axis where the CurrentBody masks go further
- Warranty length is not published where buyers can find it
Specifications from Omnilux product page, checked 13 October 2026.
The decision
Who should buy which
- Buy the CurrentBody Series 2 if you want a device whose regulatory claim you can verify yourself, if you want the third wavelength, or if you want a published session protocol.
- Buy the Omnilux Contour Face if a published output figure matters more to you than a clearance certificate, or if you want the simplest possible two-wavelength device with no features you will not use.
- Buy neither if you already own a working red and near-infrared mask. Neither of these is a meaningful upgrade over a mask you are already using three to five times a week, and we would rather say that than sell you one.
