Red Light (633–660nm) — Best for Anti-Aging

Red light penetrates 2–3mm into the dermis and is the gold standard for anti-aging. It stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, reduces inflammation, and improves skin texture.

Best for: Fine lines, wrinkles, skin firmness, redness reduction, overall skin rejuvenation.

Blue Light (415–420nm) — Best for Acne

Blue light penetrates the upper layers of skin and kills acne-causing bacteria (P. acnes) inside follicles. It also helps regulate sebum production and reduces inflammation.

Best for: Active acne, breakouts, oily skin, post-acne redness.

Near-Infrared (830–850nm) — Best for Deep Repair

Near-infrared penetrates 5–7mm into the dermis — deeper than red light. It energizes mitochondria, improves cellular repair, and reduces inflammation at a deeper level.

Best for: Deep wrinkles, skin healing, inflammation, recovery after procedures.

Deep Near-Infrared (1072nm) — The New Frontier

1072nm reaches 8–12mm — the hypodermis and muscle layer. This is the deepest penetration available in consumer LED masks and is unique to CurrentBody Series 2.

Best for: Jawline firmness, deep wrinkles, sagging skin, maximum anti-aging results.

💡 Pro Tip

The best LED mask for most people combines red + near-infrared for anti-aging, or red + blue if you have acne concerns. CurrentBody Series 2 offers all three (including 1072nm), making it the most versatile option for comprehensive results.
