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.

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.

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

Wavelengths633 nm red, 830 nm near-infrared
LEDs132 (66 red, 66 near-infrared) across 66 dual-chip bulbs
Irradiance~30 mW/cm2, brand-stated, not independently verified
Protocol3-5 sessions a week for 4-6 weeks, then maintenance
WarrantyNot 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.

FAQ

Questions people actually ask

Is Omnilux or CurrentBody better?
The CurrentBody Series 2 has the stronger regulatory position: a 510(k) (K250966) naming the exact model. The Omnilux Contour Face has the stronger published specification: roughly 30 mW/cm2 of brand-stated irradiance, which CurrentBody does not publish at all. Which wins depends on whether you weight verifiable regulation or verifiable output more highly.
Does the Omnilux Contour Face have FDA clearance?
Omnilux states that it does. We searched the public 510(k) database by device name, brand and applicant on 13 October 2026 and could not locate a record under the Contour Face name. The brand's wrinkle-reduction record on file is K072459 from 2008, for Omnilux New-U.
Is 1072 nm worth the extra money?
Treat it as a tiebreaker, not a reason. It penetrates deeper than 830 nm, but neither brand publishes an irradiance at that wavelength and no published evidence settles whether the extra depth changes the cosmetic outcome.
Which has more LEDs, Omnilux or CurrentBody?
CurrentBody, with 236 bulbs against the Omnilux's 132. But CurrentBody publishes no irradiance, so a higher diode count cannot be converted into a higher delivered dose. Count is coverage, not output.
