The CurrentBody Zone mask is right up there for me, I’ll likely add it to the blog. I list all specs and details plus discounts etc so check out the blog before you make any decisions (it should help to see in black and white). I list my VERY favorite panel (there’s only one, for good reason) and all the specs to go with it in the blog too. 🩷🩷
Hi ! Thanks for the video. Does your code works on the Canadian website? I didn’t seem to work on my end, and I was wondering if the code only applies to USA. Thanks
Dr rajani is an awesome person and I’m proud to say I live here in hood river where his clinic is. He reminds me of my late father, who was also a successful businessman. He’s also just a lovely human being. ❤
Dr.R said you can turn the infared off on his mask and it’s not true. The blue has no infared and the 3rd mode blue and red the together has none. However I don’t want any infared and I don’t believe it doesn’t cause hyperpigmentation. I can tell you I never use any new products and as soon as I wore the mask it gave me brown spot that I’ve never had in my life! I was really surprised he said it doesn’t cause it and it’s basically a myth …no it’s the truth! Thanks Penn for your help!
I am also a huge fan of Dr Rajani. His kindness shows right through whenever he posts a video. I just adore him. I was so intrigued by this mask and I'm glad you did a review of it. I think out of all of these that will be the one I try. I have a current body now. Not the one you reviewed. I like it but I don't love the strap. It's kind of wonky and hard to keep it on your face. It slips down. Otherwise it's a good mask. Thanks for another great video Penn!
My only concern with Dr. Rajani's mask is with the "APEX GLO Technology" mentioned on his mask product page. The image shows that the Apex Glo increase the distribution width or coverage (lateral exposure) of the light which sounds great for maximum surface area, but it appears that would decrease penetrance depth. In simple terms, the light going wider compromise going deeper into the skin layers. I see that the irradiance is 30 mW/cm² whereas Omnilux is at 35 mW/cm². Both seem to have good irradiance, but spreading the light out seems like it would only increase reflection and reduce exposure in the deeper layers where collagen matters most. I wish he had more data on penetrance depth. It reminds me of when I was a kid using a magnifying glass with sunlight (wider dot vs. narrow dot).
I bet 50 is an exaggeration made by the company. Most do not have third party testing. I've tested my higher dose one claiming 50 and it is at least half at best. As well as a lot of companies are putting in lower intensity LEDs around the outside because it can even be as low as 5mW/cm2 or lower. I wish people would review with a spectrometer but I know it costs a few thousand dollars. I might do it since I have access to one. However, I do not think more power/intensity is better either especially when treating the face but agree with the above comment, I notice more benefits with reduced reflection and skin contact (and with more LEDs like the TheraFace device).@@providencephelps1497
I agree, Higher Dose's mask it my favorite! I had an Omnilux that broke down after a year and went for the less expensive Higher Dose one, which I LOVE due to the extra strap on the top! And I can still use the power bank from the Omnilux as a spare 😉
@@hanedamijares5940 Hi! I’ve been using mine every other day since I got it for Christmas. I think it’s helped my skin look more youthful. I’ve been using a green tea serum before I use it because I heard that helps? Not sure 🤔 but I do love the mask.
Another super informative video. Always learn so much from you. Whatever you're doing, it IS WORKING... Gorgeous. Been following Dr. Rajani for years --- another individual who puts out wonderful, informative content. Love his videos.
You're skin is stunning today! Would love a makeup tutorial of what your wearing today, sooooo pretty! Thanks for your vast knowledge of everything skincare!
Great video Penny, thank you I have Dr. Rajani’s mask. I bought it when it first came out and I do love it. I love it because of the lights around the mouth and the cool area, and when you put the straps on it stays put so easily! very happy with it and I have owned two Omni Lux masks, which I like but I did not like that there were no lights around the mouth
Hi! Curious about getting this. Any updates with your experience with this mask? I saw somewhere that it left red marks on the nose using the mask. Did you notice that?
Hi Penny! Wishing you a Happy New Year! I first bought the ReVive (now called LED Technologies) Look Book. It folds in half and when opened, you can lay it on your face, neck, chest and I even lay it on the top of my head. Since it is a folded flat panel, I wanted to try a sculpted mask and bought the QURE. Both products are only 3 minutes per use so when I use the mask I have the Look Book on my neck and chest. The Look Book has red, Infared and amber lights which pulsate at the end of each minute. The QURE mask is a hard exterior, but light weight. I just wish it covered more of the perimeter of my face. Seems slightly small. But I am a huge fan of this modality. Definitely improved the tone and elasticity of my skin. I too love Dr. Rajani. Like you, he is highly educational. I am lucky to be in Portland with you both!
Hello Penny! First, wishing you a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year. I have posted perhaps twice on you-tube but watch your videos regularly. Thank you for creating well-researched and well informed content. You look so good, with a healthy natural glow, no fine lines and no age related facial sagginess. Would you PLEASE go through your current Day and night skincare routines and perhaps any in-clinic procedures you do for maintenance. Hope you get a chance to read this. Thank you in advance
Hubby got me the Qure mask for Christmas. So far, I'm loving it b/c it's only a 3-minute commitment each day. Even I can do that! I did try the NuFace device, and the result was wonderful. Unfortunately, for me, it caused numerous broken capillaries that my derm will be removing in a few weeks. So, the NuFace is now a paperweight.
Yes, every device needs to have USB-C. One negative thing about some of the masks like Theraface vs Omnilux is that on the Omnilux the cord is attached to a battery pack, meaning that the battery pack could easily be replaced without having to replace the entire mask… much better for longevity, your wallet, and sustainability. Theraface should have done this as probably a majority of the weight is from the battery… plus all the plastic should be kept out of the landfill as long as possible and those LEDs have a loooong use-span.
I find velcro straps on face masks catch my hair, and when removing the mask, the velcro can rip your hair out. I remove the straps, lie on my back, and physically hold the masks in place.
I use a panel and was able to turn off the NIR because I did notice an issue with hyperpigmentation. I'm really glad to see the masks starting to turn to that. I think that's going to be a very helpful thing. And obviously it's a big deal because these companies wouldn't make the change if it wasn't marketable. My sister gave me an older knock off hard mask that does like 7 different colors I may try the green. Good review thank you
I have the FAQ 201, which is a simpler and less expensive (still expensive though) mask compared to the 202. You can use red, green or blue lights and switch just by pressing the button on the mask - this one doesn't need an app. I love it because it sits right on your face, whereas the flat current body mask I started with didn't fit anywhere. Have never had a problem with the strap coming off and I'm wondering if yours might be faulty? Love this video, have been mainly using the red light, but will be trying the green from now on so thanks for that insight!
Thank you Penny for this great review on these masks. I would love to try Dr.Rajani's mask...and try the NiR. If you ever feel inclined to pass it on...I could put it to use.😊
I've been needing the real deal on the latest devices for my first one, so thank you so much!!! And Dr. Rajani is so amazing!! I've learned so much from the both of you!!
Loved the video, Penny. I've been interested in trying LED masks but worried it would worsen my melasma. Great to hear about the options with green light and avoiding NIR. ❤❤
I have the Omnilux Contour mask and also use the Mitoredlight. I have brown spots, Melasma from sun damage so thinking I should stop using the Infrared along with red light when using the Mitoredlight? Enjoy your journey in life and may 2024’ be an adventurous year. 🤗
Dr. Rajani had a video about LED light and melasma, and one part of the video talked about the myth of near red infrared and melasma. He then mentioned that for anyone who is still afraid of infrared, you could turn off the near red infrared? Your video said that you couldn't, but I'm wondering if there really is a way to turn it off.
I just couldn't keep my eyes off yours, that diamond ring (hufff) & of course your awesome dog! Had to keep hitting replay I was going ADHD! LoL. I wear my late Moms 1.5 Marquee around my neck over her graduation cross every day. Hug your Mom every day, if not for her, but for yourself. So I wanted a mask & even a full body ARRC ATP RFQ but its $1million. Hitting 50 is depressing. 40 was awful knowing 50 was coming up really fast & 30 was the end of my world! So after having 8 not 7, but EIGHT extractions brutally ripped from my skull last week, I ran down to Best Buys & finally bought the TheraFace I've seen many times. Using it to help with all my swelling, but it doesn't seem to help, & also I'm sticking it in my mouth & biting down on the both corners to treat the internal surgical sites. I also removed the silicone eye shield & close my eyes thinking of fond memories & best photo at 18 of my gorgeous 80's Rock Star Hair! But after a few minutes, I was suffocating this mask gets so warm & no air circulation, so I have a rechargeable fan I sit on my chest to blow air under the mask....its technical. I also do multiple sessions holding it under my neck to treat the flab from losing 50lbs, but will probably need that turkey neck dealt with since I look like I attended The 1st Thanksgiving! Probably need Kybella injections with Turkey Baster! Used to see the tv ads a few years ago, but now i've seen cavitation therapy that looks interesting, but might make my neck look worse like the Turkey Neck I forget to remove one year from the cavity of the frozen Turkey. I was like WTF is this thing doing in here! LoL. I bet you'll remember this post & think of me next Thanksgiving telling my story at your Thanksgiving dinner. "Save the Neck for Me, Clark!". ~ Cousin Eddie Christmas Vacation~ I'm also placing this Theramask over my head for obvious reasons, but I really want a Neuronic/Neuradiant 1070 at $7- Grand for a broken brain since it has deep penetrating 1070nm lasers; I should have a bountiful harvest of hair like the 2nd Thanksgiving or I hope too look like stepped out of a Bon Jovi Music Video! I wish these masks would start using 1060nm lasers at different frequency rates but those diodes are extremely expensive made only in Japan or Germany. Some full body beds & at home panels are now using them. I couldn't get Therabody to send me their full specs, but found the full specs under their FDA registration. I just don't want to get cremated looking this bad! Tell Carly Simon to re-write her song about being more & Sooooo Vain than that! BTW......your an indescribably beautiful Women & don't need a mask, & he should count his blessings every day, if not, tell him I'll keep count if he looses track! LoL. All my best, Chris LaRusse Pompano Beach
I think in the past you have commented on this question. But can an LED mask be used first thing in the morning while you’re still laying in bed. Versus getting up cleansing doing skincare, and then putting it on.
Fascinating about green light therapy. Can you link those studies? Or I can look them up lol 😅 Love that you got Dr. Rajani’s mask, I’ve been following him for years now and I enjoy his take. Happy New Year 🎆
Hi Penny! Loves this informative review so much! Looking to invest in an LED light treatment mask that really works well. So many are out there and some are super pricey. Would love to hear your thoughts on the Artemis Mask. ($2,500!)
Thank you for this. Love the new technology from Current body , therabody and Dr. Rajani. Happy for him also. He is pure joy. Talking about splurging-I splurged last year on a green light only panel. Illuminate LED is the brand. It is powerful-5-7 minutes is all I do 3 days a week. . Cost is $1800, but worth every penny to me. Hope your holidays have been great. Thanks for your hard work!
So that illuminate LED panel is my ALL TIME favorite panel. Their flex panels are in my blog today because I truly believe they are the best in the business.
I have the FAQ 201. I really like it but wish it covered the eyes and the part where it charges! But so light weight like you say! I use the green and blue lights - that’s why I got this mask to mix it up. Been using for six weeks. No difference so far I’m afraid. I had regular dermalux up until about 7 months ago so not sure if that makes a difference.
I think i am sold on helping migraine m the green light. I was going to go with Rajani one, cause I do love his skincare, and knowledge on anti aging.., but migraines are a huge problem for me, so even a thought that could help with that pain, I think I have to go with that one 🤔😜 Have a blessed day🙏❤️
I have been using the Dr. Dennis Gross led mask for about 3 years (only off while on holidays, not to obsess over it) and my skin feels great. Not sure if it’s as potent as these presented here, but I love using it and it seems to do the job 😃 I’m reluctant to buy a new one, beacause I got such an amazing good deal back then! Now I see it’s doubled its price!! Crazy.
I am having a hard time between choosing the higher dose mask and Dr. Rajani mask I love that Dr Rajani’s mask has the neck piece and the extra light for the upper lip ❤ however the current body seems stronger and not to mention with the code is 115$ cheaper ugh 😩 I keep going back and forth
I use the higher dose mask in many places on my body. I scoot it down on my neck and turn it vertical then use a long ribbon to hold it in place. I also wrap it around my chest, breasts, and stomach to improve my skin in those areas. Trying to get the elasticity back and minimize stretch marks. It’s very versatile if you tie it around your body in different places.
How long have you had yours? I’m in my 3 one in less than 3 years. I feel like the quality is really bad and the guarantee is not long. Wish there was a place to send them for repair
@zingara76 I had my omnilux mask about 3 years...then the face mask stopped working....sadly it was past my warranty so I had to pay for it again! It hurt but I do think it's a worthy investment
Hi Penn, I know this is off topic, but I have been researching all day and thought that you could probably answer this question in a heartbeat regarding peptides. I read that peptides should not be combined with other peptides because the signals get crossed and become ineffective. I've always remembered that you said antioxidants like to party together, so I sort of assumed peptides did too. I hate to think that all this time I wasn't doing my skin the good I thought I was. Thank you for all of your hard work, expertise and dedication. You are my "Holy Grail" when it comes to skincare❤
I’m curious about your results with using serums before you use your LED mask. I think I remember you mentioning a while ago that you’re trying out the idea of using copper peptides before LED? Just curious if you’ve noticed an improvement in the results? Do you use green tea rooibos? Thanks 😊
Penny, you look absolutely stunning in this video! I have been using the Boost LED face and neck masks from The Light Salon and LOVE them. The only “con” is the face mask hurts and leaves a mark on the top of my nose😩. Happy New Year🍾🎉
Thanks for the red nira explanation and melisma information! I have the Omni lux and I’m going to buy the first mask you mentioned! I’m also going to check out the FAQ first and see if I can get it and have a friend ship it here for me. ❤
Loved the video :) have you heard of the kineon? I mentioned it on Instagram but I swear by it for those interested in red light that want more of a punch medically :) love you lady!
I’m so happy to be updated on led masks. I have the adura. Have loved it but ready for an upgrade perhaps. On another note your eyes and your skin are clearly in focus on this video and I’m wondering what colour liner you use to accentuate your blue eyes. Also you’re skin. I love a natural blue glow on my skin without too much colour and the one I have been using for years has been discontinued. Might you have a suggestion. We have the same skin tone.
I truly like (not love) the TheraMask. After enjoying the Omnilux mask, I did TONS of research and ended up with the ThetaMask, which has been kind of disappointing. Here's why: 1) No lights down the center of the mask! Lots of lights, yes, but they didn't bother to space any in the center of our faces. 2) The stupid (and loud) "massage" function actually takes valuable real estate away from LED/infrared lights for, in my opinion, the lamest "combo" unit ever. Why the heck would I spend hundreds of dollars for the world's most annoying massager? Lastly, 3) Unlike the Ombilux where it's ALL red and infrared lights, this stupid mask only gives you THREE MINUTES of red/infrared light, then makes you toggle through blue light (I don't need to address acne) and then toggle through red light to finally get back to red/infrared light. It's such a shame. It's like they didn't even give these masks to actual skin care lovers to try at home. It could be a great mask if they took out the loud buzzing massage function and filled those spaces with leds. And let us use whatever setting we wanted, when we wanted. They tried hard but could have really tried harder. If mansplaining was an led mask, it would be the Theramask.
I'll definitely be following for updates later, especially interested in the new Current Body with the "zone" tech and whatnot. Hmmm... maybe next black Friday! I've got an old school hard shell heavy as h*** mask that does, I think 7 different light wavelengths, but I can tell it's on its last legs. I would love to lighten up (avoid the eye pad indentations!) and go cordless. I have not wanted to go all red though, as I do like the blue for fighting break outs, and I have that green option too.
red light therapy is systemic as well .. so I was thinking that an area so close to the lights, as with the eye gap in one of them, would still be stimulated cellularly .. and you would use it more because you can actually see what you're doing whilst wearing it .. agree??
I just found your channel and i am so grateful i did 💗 you are so thorough and knowledgeable about the products. Will be buying one of these soon and thanking you for your reviews and insight!
I bought a Hooga red/nir bulb last year and my melasma got darker very quickly. Now when I look at this listing I'm seeing they have different colors. Should I have gotten one of the other colors? I've been afraid of red light ever since because I've worked hard to fade my melasma successfully, and don't want to trigger it again.
I am in the middle of a test with that one! I actually took before pics with my reveal camera, did HALF my face in-office with IPL and have been doing the other half with the JOVS. Hmmmmmm I just saw that you said laser mask. I’m using their DPL pro. I’m going to order their laser mask!!
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE OMGOSH that would be so great! I have the Higher Dose mask and neck/dec attachment and I love it. I also have the PEMF mat from them and I love the glow serum before using the mask as well (just in case you haven't tried it). But the JOVS 4D Laser mask looks very interesting and someone said that it would be an "entry point" for lasers and I'm curious about that and I know you will share the real information and pros and cons. It is spendy but if it is that great than it may be worth it. I like how it covers the mouth and nose as well to get that area treated. Supposedly it is different strengths for different areas of something. Can't WAIT to see what YOU think. I follow a lot of different people but you are the only one I trust 10000% LOL.
Thanks for the video! I currently have the current body mask. I was really excited about this one but when I went to check out it says they don’t ship that item to the US. Anyway to find out when they will and give up an update on that? Thanks a bunch! I was most excited about the green light. I’m so bummed!!!
I just checked and they do ship it to the US. Try going through their UK site (I type in Currentbody UK in search). Then if you want to use my discount affiliate code it’s Penn10 and will take 10% off at checkout 🩷 Let me know if I can help further 😘
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE yes it looks like until you are checking out and then it marks it something like this item is not able to ship to United States. It let me go through till you get to the ship button and then it doesn’t let you go any further.
Thank you Penn for this extremely helpful masks review! I saw this new Zone mask on the CurrentBody site few months ago and was wondering if I will find any reviews on you tube. So was very to see this mask in your video. How often are you using LED mask? Can it be used daily all the time?
I’m very interested in LED masks and possible Benefits however my concerns are that my skin is highly sensitive and I do have rosacea is LED alighted face masks safe for my skin?? Also. Also could you clarify why it’s good for eye sight? I’m having issues with my eyes and wonder if it’s safe to use. Thank you for any clarification you can provide. Happy New Year! 🎉
I don't know Dr Rajani personally but I do follow him and I ended up buying his LED mask because it's a soft mask, it has a lot of LED lights and the chin lights were really important to me. I also want to be able to travel with it. I like him and his content. I do worry about hyperpigmentation. I only use the red light.
Hi penny thanks for all beautiful products that you offer us and for researching the science behind . Can u help me to choose between Newa or tripollar or Amiro because all of them expensive I need really to have a good one and stick with it By the way I bought maysama and photozyme,thanks for the code
I love LD Mask. However, mine from brand Oamnilux and I’m in my 3 one in less than 3 years. I wish the quarantine was longer: is there a better quality one? I just can’t keep buying one 400 every year.
Also I’m not sure but I may have Malasma at corner of my eyes and forehead but not 100% sure, appreciate your comment re red light therapy and melasma.
So funny, Penny, after listening to one of your older videos, I decided I should start the new year with an LED mask. Initially, I put one of your favorites from a couple of years ago into the shopping cart. Then I found your Maysama video, and that product is in a shopping cart. However, after listening to this video, I am going to purchase a Higher Dose LED. The neck and dec option is important to me. I do have a question: it looks like serums are good to use; would you recommend the Maysama or Higher Dose serum option? Thank you so much for your hard work in educating all of us. ❤
Hi Penny ❤ thank you for this video. I am a bit torn, initially wanted to buy the new current body led mask that also includes green light, but also saw the nusculpt which is half the price and has blue light… would love to hear your thoughts on this ?
What led mask are you talking about that has a strap inverted the top of your head? I must’ve missed the video on it. The video is great and Dr Rajani. Is very informative and the chin strap is a plus. I’m now using the Omni Lux and haven’t had any problems so I guess I’ll keep it till it dies. Love the information you give us I feel your honest and to the point so we can make the best decision for ourselves. ❤️ Hope you have a wonderful New Year 🎉
How does Omnilux fit into your evaluations? My understanding is that they make the actual machines that are used in dermatologist offices so I thought they were highly regarded. I’d be interested in your thoughts as some of these other options are more budget friendly 😊
Hello. Thanks for all the updates. Have you tried the Higher Dose face oil with copper peptides? I was considering getting it but wasn’t sure if you recommended.
Penny, if having to chose pulsed light which seem to only be available in panel or a LED mask, which would you chose. Have you researched a brand called Maysama? I’m trying to do my due diligence before I purchase. I enjoy your videos and blog. Thank you in advance!
Hi Penn, I’m in the market for a new LED mask after my omniluxe broke down. Looking at the Current Body Zone and Dr Rajanis. Ive heard complaints about the straps on the old current body, have they improved the straps on the Zone model ?

Hi Penny, which mask would I use to avoid near infrared for melasma? Besides the theraface.
Hi ! Thanks for the video. Does your code works on the Canadian website? I didn’t seem to work on my end, and I was wondering if the code only applies to USA. Thanks
Do you recommend higher dose better than current body ? Hooga has a mask also mayasama ! Cleopatra seems great also but check these and please review.
I have Dr. Rajani’s mask and it has improved my skin tremendously. My fam and friends think I have had work done. Glowing skin.
What about wrinkles? Has it improved them? I'm considering buying it
really want to buy this mask! do you think it’s better than the omnilux?
@@bennny1991I would imagine it would definitely show improvement with lines/wrinkles.
@monikastouff2370 would you still recommend it? Still seeing results?
Does it help with hyperpigmentation??
Dr rajani is an awesome person and I’m proud to say I live here in hood river where his clinic is. He reminds me of my late father, who was also a successful businessman. He’s also just a lovely human being. ❤
Good grief you are looking amazing! Aging backwards! Cheers to a happy and healthy new year 🎉🫶
Agreed London treated you well .. looking gorgeous Penn
She had a facelift. She was pretty open about it.
How kind of Dr Rajani, what a doll. I’ve been following him for a few years. Happy New Year 🎉
Dr.R said you can turn the infared off on his mask and it’s not true. The blue has no infared and the 3rd mode blue and red the together has none.

Love dr Rajani! So glad he’s getting recognition for this amazing mask❤
I like that he did payments plans, and I will get one from him. Haven't found one that has payment options.
I am also a huge fan of Dr Rajani. His kindness shows right through whenever he posts a video. I just adore him. I was so intrigued by this mask and I'm glad you did a review of it. I think out of all of these that will be the one I try. I have a current body now. Not the one you reviewed. I like it but I don't love the strap. It's kind of wonky and hard to keep it on your face.

Great video. Dr Rajani's led masks sounds great and plan on purchasing it. Thank you for posting this content.
My only concern with Dr. Rajani's mask is with the "APEX GLO Technology" mentioned on his mask product page. The image shows that the Apex Glo increase the distribution width or coverage (lateral exposure) of the light which sounds great for maximum surface area, but it appears that would decrease penetrance depth. In simple terms, the light going wider compromise going deeper into the skin layers. I see that the irradiance is 30 mW/cm² whereas Omnilux is at 35 mW/cm². Both seem to have good irradiance, but spreading the light out seems like it would only increase reflection and reduce exposure in the deeper layers where collagen matters most. I wish he had more data on penetrance depth. It reminds me of when I was a kid using a magnifying glass with sunlight (wider dot vs. narrow dot).
Exactly. Why don’t all masks explain what irradiance is? 30 isn’t particularly high. I have an Opera mask that has an irradiance of 50.
I bet 50 is an exaggeration made by the company. Most do not have third party testing. I've tested my higher dose one claiming 50 and it is at least half at best. As well as a lot of companies are putting in lower intensity LEDs around the outside because it can even be as low as 5mW/cm2 or lower. I wish people would review with a spectrometer but I know it costs a few thousand dollars. I might do it since I have access to one. However, I do not think more power/intensity is better either especially when treating the face but agree with the above comment, I notice more benefits with reduced reflection and skin contact (and with more LEDs like the TheraFace device).@@providencephelps1497
I agree, Higher Dose's mask it my favorite! I had an Omnilux that broke down after a year and went for the less expensive Higher Dose one, which I LOVE due to the extra strap on the top! And I can still use the power bank from the Omnilux as a spare 😉
That’s awesome!!
The same thing happened to me with the Omnilux. I was so disappointed! I think I will try Dr. Rajani's new LED mask next.
I got Dr. Rajani’s mask for Christmas. So far I’m loving it! I’ve been researching them and I trust him so I was excited to get it! ❤
I trust Dr Rajani too and that is why I went with his mask!
Hi! I'm looking into getting this mask. How has your experience been with it?
@@hanedamijares5940 Hi! I’ve been using mine every other day since I got it for Christmas. I think it’s helped my skin look more youthful. I’ve been using a green tea serum before I use it because I heard that helps? Not sure 🤔 but I do love the mask.
@@jeanniekirby596 thanks for the info! I read that someone said they noticed red dot on their nose after using it. Did you notice any??
Penny, Costco has a LED mask for $200 called numiere time keeper mask. Can u review it
Numiere for $200? I just googled it and it’s $1,299 on their site!
They now have it for $160 because of the $40 discount that ends 4/30.

Another super informative video. Always learn so much from you. Whatever you're doing, it IS WORKING... Gorgeous. Been following Dr. Rajani for years --- another individual who puts out wonderful, informative content. Love his videos.
You're skin is stunning today! Would love a makeup tutorial of what your wearing today, sooooo pretty! Thanks for your vast knowledge of everything skincare!
I was thinking the exact same thing! She is GLOWING!

Penny you lock absolutely flowless.
I have heard about green light also, I have a mask with 7 different colors 🤷🏻♀️!
The thing is how to incorporate all those colors in the schedule . 😊
Great video Penny, thank you I have Dr. Rajani’s mask. I bought it when it first came out and I do love it. I love it because of the lights around the mouth and the cool area, and when you put the straps on it stays put so easily! very happy with it and I have owned two Omni Lux masks, which I like but I did not like that there were no lights around the mouth
Hi! Curious about getting this. Any updates with your experience with this mask? I saw somewhere that it left red marks on the nose using the mask. Did you notice that?
Hi Penny! Wishing you a Happy New Year! I first bought the ReVive (now called LED Technologies) Look Book. It folds in half and when opened, you can lay it on your face, neck, chest and I even lay it on the top of my head. Since it is a folded flat panel, I wanted to try a sculpted mask and bought the QURE. Both products are only 3 minutes per use so when I use the mask I have the Look Book on my neck and chest. The Look Book has red, Infared and amber lights which pulsate at the end of each minute. The QURE mask is a hard exterior, but light weight. I just wish it covered more of the perimeter of my face. Seems slightly small. But I am a huge fan of this modality. Definitely improved the tone and elasticity of my skin. I too love Dr. Rajani. Like you, he is highly educational. I am lucky to be in Portland with you both!

Hello Penny! First, wishing you a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year. I have posted perhaps twice on you-tube but watch your videos regularly. Thank you for creating well-researched and well informed content.
You look so good, with a healthy natural glow, no fine lines and no age related facial sagginess. Would you PLEASE go through your current Day and night skincare routines and perhaps any in-clinic procedures you do for maintenance. Hope you get a chance to read this. Thank you in advance
I’ve had my eye on these new masks. Thanks for the round up 😊
I really wish you would consider telling us what the prices of items are in your videos. 😊 Just a kind request for you to consider. Thanks!
I will definitely try to do that! If I put it on the screen would that work? 😊
@@PENNSMITHSKINCAREyes, please!
@PENNSMITHSKINCARE That would be great, thank you!
I am so super curious how much that FAQ cost ya ! I'm ready...share the damage 💕😂
Absolutely fantastic video very informative thankyou
Hubby got me the Qure mask for Christmas. So far, I'm loving it b/c it's only a 3-minute commitment each day. Even I can do that! I did try the NuFace device, and the result was wonderful. Unfortunately, for me, it caused numerous broken capillaries that my derm will be removing in a few weeks. So, the NuFace is now a paperweight.
Which nu face device are you referring to?
@@missyo4848 - The Classic Trinity Pro.
Hi Penn, wondering if you tried out Dr. Rajani’s mask and gotten any results?
Yes, every device needs to have USB-C. One negative thing about some of the masks like Theraface vs Omnilux is that on the Omnilux the cord is attached to a battery pack, meaning that the battery pack could easily be replaced without having to replace the entire mask… much better for longevity, your wallet, and sustainability. Theraface should have done this as probably a majority of the weight is from the battery… plus all the plastic should be kept out of the landfill as long as possible and those LEDs have a loooong use-span.
I agree!! Great point 😍
I find velcro straps on face masks catch my hair, and when removing the mask, the velcro can rip your hair out. I remove the straps, lie on my back, and physically hold the masks in place.
I use a panel and was able to turn off the NIR because I did notice an issue with hyperpigmentation. I'm really glad to see the masks starting to turn to that. I think that's going to be a very helpful thing. And obviously it's a big deal because these companies wouldn't make the change if it wasn't marketable. My sister gave me an older knock off hard mask that does like 7 different colors I may try the green. Good review thank you
Which panel did you purchase?
@@lifeasahoosier8002 The Mito pro 300.
Kindly share which panel are you referring to. Thanks!

I love to use a light-weight LED mask with Green light so, the FAQ Mask intrigues me. I have a long face so, I'm not sure if it'd be the right fit.
I have the FAQ 201, which is a simpler and less expensive (still expensive though) mask compared to the 202. You can use red, green or blue lights and switch just by pressing the button on the mask - this one doesn't need an app. I love it because it sits right on your face, whereas the flat current body mask I started with didn't fit anywhere. Have never had a problem with the strap coming off and I'm wondering if yours might be faulty? Love this video, have been mainly using the red light, but will be trying the green from now on so thanks for that insight!
Thank you Penny for this great review on these masks. I would love to try Dr.Rajani's mask...and try the NiR. If you ever feel inclined to pass it on...I could put it to use.😊
I've been needing the real deal on the latest devices for my first one, so thank you so much!!! And Dr. Rajani is so amazing!! I've learned so much from the both of you!!
Loved the video, Penny. I've been interested in trying LED masks but worried it would worsen my melasma. Great to hear about the options with green light and avoiding NIR. ❤❤
I have the Omnilux Contour mask and also use the Mitoredlight. I have brown spots, Melasma from sun damage so thinking I should stop using the Infrared along with red light when using the Mitoredlight?
Enjoy your journey in life and may 2024’ be an adventurous year. 🤗
Let’s hear for the Doc Rajani. How him to he is great wealth of info!
Dr. Rajani had a video about LED light and melasma, and one part of the video talked about the myth of near red infrared and melasma. He then mentioned that for anyone who is still afraid of infrared, you could turn off the near red infrared? Your video said that you couldn't, but I'm wondering if there really is a way to turn it off.
Mode3 blue and red, no NIR
Hi! Just to clarify, Dr Rajani does not include near infrared light in mod.e 3 - it is only red and blue light. :)
I thought his mask had the near infrared?
Thanks for sharing these. Do you use both a mask & panel?
I appreciate you being here for us !
Dr. RAJ, Yes!
I just couldn't keep my eyes off yours, that diamond ring (hufff) & of course your awesome dog! Had to keep hitting replay I was going ADHD! LoL. I wear my late Moms 1.5 Marquee around my neck over her graduation cross every day. Hug your Mom every day, if not for her, but for yourself.
So I wanted a mask & even a full body ARRC ATP RFQ but its $1million. Hitting 50 is depressing. 40 was awful knowing 50 was coming up really fast & 30 was the end of my world!
So after having 8 not 7, but EIGHT extractions brutally ripped from my skull last week, I ran down to Best Buys & finally bought the TheraFace I've seen many times. Using it to help with all my swelling, but it doesn't seem to help, & also I'm sticking it in my mouth & biting down on the both corners to treat the internal surgical sites.
I also removed the silicone eye shield & close my eyes thinking of fond memories & best photo at 18 of my gorgeous 80's Rock Star Hair! But after a few minutes, I was suffocating this mask gets so warm & no air circulation, so I have a rechargeable fan I sit on my chest to blow air under the mask....its technical.
I also do multiple sessions holding it under my neck to treat the flab from losing 50lbs, but will probably need that turkey neck dealt with since I look like I attended The 1st Thanksgiving!
Probably need Kybella injections with Turkey Baster! Used to see the tv ads a few years ago, but now i've seen cavitation therapy that looks interesting, but might make my neck look worse like the Turkey Neck I forget to remove one year from the cavity of the frozen Turkey.
I was like WTF is this thing doing in here! LoL. I bet you'll remember this post & think of me next Thanksgiving telling my story at your Thanksgiving dinner.
"Save the Neck for Me, Clark!".

I'm also placing this Theramask over my head for obvious reasons, but I really want a Neuronic/Neuradiant 1070 at $7- Grand for a broken brain since it has deep penetrating 1070nm lasers; I should have a bountiful harvest of hair like the 2nd Thanksgiving or I hope too look like stepped out of a Bon Jovi Music Video!
I wish these masks would start using 1060nm lasers at different frequency rates but those diodes are extremely expensive made only in Japan or Germany. Some full body beds & at home panels are now using them.
I couldn't get Therabody to send me their full specs, but found the full specs under their FDA registration.
I just don't want to get cremated looking this bad! Tell Carly Simon to re-write her song about being more & Sooooo Vain than that!
BTW......your an indescribably beautiful Women & don't need a mask, & he should count his blessings every day, if not, tell him I'll keep count if he looses track! LoL.

Can we talk about your dog just lounging in the background?? Soo cute!
Another dog that has it rough 😂
I think in the past you have commented on this question. But can an LED mask be used first thing in the morning while you’re still laying in bed. Versus getting up cleansing doing skincare, and then putting it on.
Fascinating about green light therapy. Can you link those studies? Or I can look them up lol 😅 Love that you got Dr. Rajani’s mask, I’ve been following him for years now and I enjoy his take. Happy New Year 🎆
Yes! I’m sorry! I meant to!
As soon as I’m near my computer I’ll add the links 🩷
Hi Penny! Loves this informative review so much! Looking to invest in an LED light treatment mask that really works well. So many are out there and some are super pricey. Would love to hear your thoughts on the Artemis Mask. ($2,500!)
Thank you for this. Love the new technology from Current body , therabody and Dr. Rajani. Happy for him also. He is pure joy. Talking about splurging-I splurged last year on a green light only panel. Illuminate LED is the brand. It is powerful-5-7 minutes is all I do 3 days a week. . Cost is $1800, but worth every penny to me. Hope your holidays have been great. Thanks for your hard work!
So that illuminate LED panel is my ALL TIME favorite panel. Their flex panels are in my blog today because I truly believe they are the best in the business.
@PENNSMITHSKINCARE If you could buy a nira pro or a Led mask, which one would you go for?
I have the FAQ 201. I really like it but wish it covered the eyes and the part where it charges! But so light weight like you say! I use the green and blue lights - that’s why I got this mask to mix it up. Been using for six weeks. No difference so far I’m afraid. I had regular dermalux up until about 7 months ago so not sure if that makes a difference.
That mask is too expensive for what it is, half of your face is not covered
I think i am sold on helping migraine m the green light. I was going to go with Rajani one, cause I do love his skincare, and knowledge on anti aging.., but migraines are a huge problem for me, so even a thought that could help with that pain, I think I have to go with that one 🤔😜 Have a blessed day🙏❤️
I have been using the Dr. Dennis Gross led mask for about 3 years (only off while on holidays, not to obsess over it) and my skin feels great. Not sure if it’s as potent as these presented here, but I love using it and it seems to do the job 😃
I’m reluctant to buy a new one, beacause I got such an amazing good deal back then! Now I see it’s doubled its price!! Crazy.
The DDG mask is great! I say don’t fix what isn’t broke 😏
What do you think about the Cleopatra LED mask? It seems more affordable and also has neck coverage
I am having a hard time between choosing the higher dose mask and Dr. Rajani mask I love that Dr Rajani’s mask has the neck piece and the extra light for the upper lip ❤ however the current body seems stronger and not to mention with the code is 115$ cheaper ugh 😩 I keep going back and forth
I use the higher dose mask in many places on my body. I scoot it down on my neck and turn it vertical then use a long ribbon to hold it in place. I also wrap it around my chest, breasts, and stomach to improve my skin in those areas. Trying to get the elasticity back and minimize stretch marks. It’s very versatile if you tie it around your body in different places.
I have the Omnilux mask and love it but the ones CurrentBody one and Dr Rajani have peaked my interest!
How long have you had yours? I’m in my 3 one in less than 3 years. I feel like the quality is really bad and the guarantee is not long. Wish there was a place to send them for repair
@@zingara76 omnilux sent me a new one when my cord came lose. I love mine.
That's sad that these expensive units are lasting on average only a few years. Makes you ot wa t to buy an expensive one.
@zingara76 I had my omnilux mask about 3 years...then the face mask stopped working....sadly it was past my warranty so I had to pay for it again! It hurt but I do think it's a worthy investment
Hi Penn, I know this is off topic, but I have been researching all day and thought that you could probably answer this question in a heartbeat regarding peptides. I read that peptides should not be combined with other peptides because the signals get crossed and become ineffective. I've always remembered that you said antioxidants like to party together, so I sort of assumed peptides did too. I hate to think that all this time I wasn't doing my skin the good I thought I was. Thank you for all of your hard work, expertise and dedication.
You are my "Holy Grail" when it comes to skincare❤
I’m curious about your results with using serums before you use your LED mask. I think I remember you mentioning a while ago that you’re trying out the idea of using copper peptides before LED? Just curious if you’ve noticed an improvement in the results? Do you use green tea rooibos? Thanks 😊
I'm waiting for someone to come out with a pulsing light mask!
Hi penny can you do a video of the Blume hand held light therapy I brought one and would like to Jon how to properly you the device.
Penny, you look absolutely stunning in this video! I have been using the Boost LED face and neck masks from The Light Salon and LOVE them. The only “con” is the face mask hurts and leaves a mark on the top of my nose😩. Happy New Year🍾🎉
Nice job on the reviews! Do you have any discount codes available for Dr Rajani's Plasma Glow?
Thanks for the red nira explanation and melisma information! I have the Omni lux and I’m going to buy the first mask you mentioned! I’m also going to check out the FAQ first and see if I can get it and have a friend ship it here for me. ❤
Thank you for another informative video! You look extra stunning today 😉 ❤
How does one use the eye protection pieces? Please do a quick video on that. I can't figure out an easy way to place them. Thank you so much! 😊
Loved the video :) have you heard of the kineon? I mentioned it on Instagram but I swear by it for those interested in red light that want more of a punch medically :) love you lady!
I’m so happy to be updated on led masks. I have the adura. Have loved it but ready for an upgrade perhaps. On another note your eyes and your skin are clearly in focus on this video and I’m wondering what colour liner you use to accentuate your blue eyes. Also you’re skin. I love a natural blue glow on my skin without too much colour and the one I have been using for years has been discontinued. Might you have a suggestion. We have the same skin tone.
I truly like (not love) the TheraMask. After enjoying the Omnilux mask, I did TONS of research and ended up with the ThetaMask, which has been kind of disappointing. Here's why: 1) No lights down the center of the mask! Lots of lights, yes, but they didn't bother to space any in the center of our faces. 2) The stupid (and loud) "massage" function actually takes valuable real estate away from LED/infrared lights for, in my opinion, the lamest "combo" unit ever. Why the heck would I spend hundreds of dollars for the world's most annoying massager? Lastly, 3) Unlike the Ombilux where it's ALL red and infrared lights, this stupid mask only gives you THREE MINUTES of red/infrared light, then makes you toggle through blue light (I don't need to address acne) and then toggle through red light to finally get back to red/infrared light. It's such a shame. It's like they didn't even give these masks to actual skin care lovers to try at home. It could be a great mask if they took out the loud buzzing massage function and filled those spaces with leds. And let us use whatever setting we wanted, when we wanted. They tried hard but could have really tried harder. If mansplaining was an led mask, it would be the Theramask.
I'll definitely be following for updates later, especially interested in the new Current Body with the "zone" tech and whatnot. Hmmm... maybe next black Friday! I've got an old school hard shell heavy as h*** mask that does, I think 7 different light wavelengths, but I can tell it's on its last legs. I would love to lighten up (avoid the eye pad indentations!) and go cordless. I have not wanted to go all red though, as I do like the blue for fighting break outs, and I have that green option too.
Hello Penny! amazing video! I would love to try red light therapy! should I choose a mask or a panel?
red light therapy is systemic as well .. so I was thinking that an area so close to the lights, as with the eye gap in one of them, would still be stimulated cellularly .. and you would use it more because you can actually see what you're doing whilst wearing it .. agree??
I just found your channel and i am so grateful i did 💗 you are so thorough and knowledgeable about the products. Will be buying one of these soon and thanking you for your reviews and insight!
Thank you! I am so glad you are here! 🥰
Doc Rajani is awesome, for sure!
Great video! Thank you Penn!
I've always trusted you and Dr. Rajani. Thankyou for this review/specs as I'm wanting a mask. Dr. Raj's mask is one of my two choices.
I bought a Hooga red/nir bulb last year and my melasma got darker very quickly. Now when I look at this listing I'm seeing they have different colors. Should I have gotten one of the other colors? I've been afraid of red light ever since because I've worked hard to fade my melasma successfully, and don't want to trigger it again.
Please review the JOVS 4D "laser" mask. I keep seeing it being reviewed other places but I only trust you!
I am in the middle of a test with that one! I actually took before pics with my reveal camera, did HALF my face in-office with IPL and have been doing the other half with the JOVS.
Hmmmmmm I just saw that you said laser mask.
I’m using their DPL pro. I’m going to order their laser mask!!
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE OMGOSH that would be so great! I have the Higher Dose mask and neck/dec attachment and I love it. I also have the PEMF mat from them and I love the glow serum before using the mask as well (just in case you haven't tried it). But the JOVS 4D Laser mask looks very interesting and someone said that it would be an "entry point" for lasers and I'm curious about that and I know you will share the real information and pros and cons. It is spendy but if it is that great than it may be worth it. I like how it covers the mouth and nose as well to get that area treated. Supposedly it is different strengths for different areas of something. Can't WAIT to see what YOU think. I follow a lot of different people but you are the only one I trust 10000% LOL.
Penny looking flawless 🤩🩷
FAQ is definitely on my radar. It looks very attractive. I imagine they all have pros and cons which is understandable.
Thanks for the video! I currently have the current body mask. I was really excited about this one but when I went to check out it says they don’t ship that item to the US. Anyway to find out when they will and give up an update on that? Thanks a bunch! I was most excited about the green light. I’m so bummed!!!
I just checked and they do ship it to the US. Try going through their UK site (I type in Currentbody UK in search).
Then if you want to use my discount affiliate code it’s Penn10 and will take 10% off at checkout 🩷
Let me know if I can help further 😘
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE yes it looks like until you are checking out and then it marks it something like this item is not able to ship to United States. It let me go through till you get to the ship button and then it doesn’t let you go any further.
Thank you Penn for this extremely helpful masks review! I saw this new Zone mask on the CurrentBody site few months ago and was wondering if I will find any reviews on you tube. So was very to see this mask in your video. How often are you using LED mask? Can it be used daily all the time?
Thank you, you help me to choose my first mask. Thanks for the code new subscriber 😊
Love my Omnilux Masks & do follow Dr Raj whose educational information is great….as yours is too!
Anyone know if broken capilaries are helped by LED? Penn, you look amazing.
I’m very interested in LED masks and possible
Benefits however my concerns are that my skin is highly sensitive and I do have rosacea is LED alighted face masks safe for my skin?? Also. Also could you clarify why it’s good for eye sight? I’m having issues with my eyes and wonder if it’s safe to use.
Thank you for any clarification you can provide.
Happy New Year! 🎉
I don't know Dr Rajani personally but I do follow him and I ended up buying his LED mask because it's a soft mask, it has a lot of LED lights and the chin lights were really important to me. I also want to be able to travel with it. I like him and his content. I do worry about hyperpigmentation. I only use the red light.
How do you like the mask?
@myluxurycrush curious to find out if you got results with this mask
I have the Aduro. Love it but what do I know.
Higher dose that you like versus the others you are showing. What is the outcome? Your choice now?
I like the FAQ exactly because it's flexible, and also because of the wide range of LED lights to choose. Thanks for sharing, Penny, great video ❤
Hi penny thanks for all beautiful products that you offer us and for researching the science behind . Can u help me to choose between Newa or tripollar or Amiro because all of them expensive I need really to have a good one and stick with it
By the way I bought maysama and photozyme,thanks for the code
I love LD Mask. However, mine from brand Oamnilux and I’m in my 3 one in less than 3 years. I wish the quarantine was longer: is there a better quality one? I just can’t keep buying one 400 every year.
I’ve had my first one for more than two yrs and I was wondering how much more time I’ll get. Products nowadays are designed to fail so quickly
Also I’m not sure but I may have Malasma at corner of my eyes and forehead but not 100% sure, appreciate your comment re red light therapy and melasma.
So funny, Penny, after listening to one of your older videos, I decided I should start the new year with an LED mask. Initially, I put one of your favorites from a couple of years ago into the shopping cart. Then I found your Maysama video, and that product is in a shopping cart. However, after listening to this video, I am going to purchase a Higher Dose LED. The neck and dec option is important to me. I do have a question: it looks like serums are good to use; would you recommend the Maysama or Higher Dose serum option? Thank you so much for your hard work in educating all of us. ❤
Hey Penn, Great video as always! I wanted to ask your opinion on the Deesse Pro LED Mask.
Hi Penny ❤ thank you for this video. I am a bit torn, initially wanted to buy the new current body led mask that also includes green light, but also saw the nusculpt which is half the price and has blue light… would love to hear your thoughts on this ?
Happy (almost) New Year! What are your thoughts on the new Solawave with galvanic current?
What led mask are you talking about that has a strap inverted the top of your head? I must’ve missed the video on it. The video is great and Dr Rajani. Is very informative and the chin strap is a plus. I’m now using the Omni Lux and haven’t had any problems so I guess I’ll keep it till it dies. Love the information you give us I feel your honest and to the point so we can make the best decision for ourselves. ❤️ Hope you have a wonderful New Year 🎉
Thank you, very much enjoyed this video!
How does Omnilux fit into your evaluations? My understanding is that they make the actual machines that are used in dermatologist offices so I thought they were highly regarded. I’d be interested in your thoughts as some of these other options are more budget friendly 😊
I agree. Which one didn’t list?
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE I think Omnilux was missing from this LED review?
Thank you for your video! Which mask(s) do not have near infrared? I have melasma and I didn't know that near infrared could have a negative effect.
Have you looked at the Cleopatra mask? I got it for Christmas….
So appreciate all your research. Much love love and happiness in the New Year
Hello. Thanks for all the updates. Have you tried the Higher Dose face oil with copper peptides? I was considering getting it but wasn’t sure if you recommended.
Penny, if having to chose pulsed light which seem to only be available in panel or a LED mask, which would you chose. Have you researched a brand called Maysama? I’m trying to do my due diligence before I purchase. I enjoy your videos and blog.
Thank you in advance!
I actually have a video with the founder of Maysama 😊 th-cam.com/video/Lt4YaoHNn1E/w-d-xo.html
Hi Penn, I’m in the market for a new LED mask after my omniluxe broke down. Looking at the Current Body Zone and Dr Rajanis. Ive heard complaints about the straps on the old current body, have they improved the straps on the Zone model ?
LOVE Dr. Rajani ❤
Hi - have you heard about led causing facial fat loss? I was days away from committing to one and that freaked me out!
