Notes on these figures

Manual spec table: 'Total Max Irradiance 8 - 50mW/cm²'. Range presumably varies by mode/wavelength, but this is not explained. Measurement distance, location, instrument and per-band vs combined are NOT disclosed. US 510(k) summary (model MK-110D, may differ) gives per-mode figures: Mode 1 633 nm 18, 830 nm 13, 1072 nm 7; Mode 2 415 nm 18, 633 nm 26; Mode 3 590 nm 15, 830 nm 13; Mode 4 532 nm 5 mW/cm² — also without stated measurement conditions.

Manual: 'Total Max Dosage 4.65 - 30 J/cm²'. 50 mW/cm² × 600 s = 30 J/cm², but 8 mW/cm² × 600 s = 4.8 J/cm², not 4.65 — small inconsistency; ask. Custom (MyDose™) sessions may vary; not explained.

Light-output figures come from the manufacturer. Independent checks are rare, even in published studies, so treat them as claims. Why

Using it

Treatment

Session length: 10 minutes
How often: 3–5 times weekly; max one treatment per area per 24 h
Details
No course length in the manual. Product page: results 'in as little as 4 weeks' and 'in just 8 weeks'. Brand's 2026 studies used 5×/week for 8 weeks (top of range).
Modes: 4 presets on the controller — Advanced Anti-Ageing (633/830/1072 nm), Advanced Clearing (415/633/830 nm), Complexion Corrector (590/830 nm), Balance & Brighten (532/830 nm) — plus custom programmes (any of the 6 wavelengths, chosen by face zone) built in the app ('MyDose™')
Sources differ: Fourth preset named 'Brighten & Balance' (manual) vs 'Balance & Brighten' (product page, help centre).

Details
Manual names the fourth preset 'Brighten & Balance'; page and help centre say 'Balance & Brighten'. App 'automatically calculates' the dose for custom programmes; method not disclosed.
Auto shut-off: Yes, after 10 minutes
Details
Manual: 'System is designed to shut off automatically after 10 minutes.' May also shut off if the device exceeds a set temperature.

Design and power

Power: Rechargeable controller with touchscreen, USB-C; mains adapter not included
Details
Manual: 'Please use a legally sold adapter (not included)'; adapter output listed as 5V 3A / 9V 2A / 12V 1.5A.
Battery: Lithium, 7.4 V 2500 mAh (18.5 Wh), not user-accessible
Details
Help centre: 'On average, the mask can perform 10 treatments per charge.'
Charge time: 1.5 hours
Details
Help centre: 'It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the device.' Manual gives no charge time.
Use while charging: No
Details
'For your safety, the device will not turn on when charging.'
Eye protection: Eye inserts included; manual says to position the mask so you can see through the eye holes
Details
Purpose/opacity of the eye inserts not described.
Weight: 460 g
Details
Listed as 460 g ±10 g; dimensions 190 × 98 × 207 mm. Not stated whether controller included. Series 2 manual lists 1220 g although help centre says fit/coverage are 'exactly the same' — ask.
App needed: No
Details
Presets run from the controller without the app. Help centre: 'To create a new treatment or to use a code provided to you, the app is necessary.' Free CurrentBody app (iOS 15.1+/Android 7.0+), pairs via Bluetooth®.
Subscription: — Not disclosed
Details
App described as free to download; no paid features or subscription mentioned. App data/privacy: not addressed on the product page, help centre or the CurrentBody privacy policy page — ask.
Replaceable battery: No
Details
'The battery is not accessible and not serviceable.'

Values are as stated by CurrentBody unless marked otherwise.

What CurrentBody claims quoted, not verified

“Red light therapy reverses visible signs of ageing, reducing wrinkles by 37% and improving plumpness by 57% in 8 weeks*”
Context
'*Results proven via independent testing.' 37% traces to forehead wrinkle volume in the 1072 nm-only study (ev_0001); 57% appears to be the Series 2 SGS elasticity R7 figure (ev_0004). Neither tested the Series 3 presets.

“Appearance of skin brightness increased by 26.8% in 4 weeks – SGS, 2024”
Context
Shown under 'Red — 633nm'. SGS report: ITA° +26.83% at D56 (8 weeks), on the Series 2 mask (633+830+1072 combined). See conflicts.

“Appearance of skin elasticity improved by 57.1% in 4 weeks – SGS, 2024”
Context
Shown under 'Near-infrared — 830nm'. SGS report: elasticity R7 +57.09% at D56 (8 weeks), Series 2 mask. See conflicts.

“Appearance of wrinkles reduced by 37.1% in 8 weeks – Independent Testing, 2026”

“Appearance of spots reduced by 40% – Goldberg & Russell, 2006”
Context
Shown under 'Blue — 415nm'. Cites a 2006 published acne study (PubMed 16766484), not a study of this mask.

“Appearance of pigmentation reduced by 4.1% in 8 weeks (with 100% of participants showing a reduction) – Independent Testing, 2026”

“Appearance of redness reduced by 8.6% in 8 weeks (in participants with higher baseline redness) – Independent Testing, 2026”

“6 clinically proven wavelengths to target all skin concerns”

“MyDose™ gives you full control over every LED – you pick the wavelengths and MyDose™ automatically calculates your safest, most effective dose.”

“Veritace® guarantees clinical quality in every device – every single LED is tested to make sure it emits the exact light proven in the research”

“Penetrating up to 10mm into the skin, deep near-infrared LED light is associated with boosting collagen production, reducing wrinkles by 37.1% in 8 weeks.”

“Advanced Clearing (Red 633nm, NIR 830nm & Blue 415nm) - Targets bacteria, calms redness and reduces oiliness to help prevent breakouts.”

“Yes, the Series 3 Face mask and Neck and Dec mask are FDA-cleared, CE-marked, and TGA-approved.”
Context
See regulatory: K260715 covers model MK-110D, which differs from the UK spec.

“Is the LED mask suitable for all skin types? Yes – the LED face mask has been designed to be used by all skin types.”
Context
FDA indications and the brand's 2026 studies cover Fitzpatrick/phototype I–IV only.

About this review

Called the 'CurrentBody Multi Light Therapy mask', the name on this model's FDA 510(k) (K260715). The article links to a 'currentbody-skin-led-multi-light-mask' page rather than the product page we use; we've assumed both are this model. Feature by Sarah Matthews (31 Jul 2026), 'Skincare staple or expensive gimmick: do you really need a light therapy device?', with dermatologist Dr Derrick Phillips and facialist Justine Masters.

Regulatory status

UK: UKCA: UKCA symbol shown in manual's symbols table: 'This symbol implies conformity to UK Directives on health, safety and environmental protection standards. UKCA stands for UK Conformity Assessed.' Manufacturer-stated
Details
No UKCA wording on the Series 3 product page. Regulations covered not stated — ask for the declaration of conformity.
EU: CE marking: CE symbol in manual; help centre: 'the Series 3 Face mask and Neck and Dec mask are … CE-marked' Manufacturer-stated
EU: EU authorised representative: Certification Company, Veluwezoom 42, 1327 AH, Almere, NL Manufacturer-stated

Details
Help centre says Series 3 is 'FDA-cleared'. The K260715 summary describes a device with a different model suffix (MK-110D vs UK MK-110I), 110 LEDs per band + 16 at 1072 nm (vs 125 × 6), a 3.7 V 5000 mAh battery (vs 7.4 V 2500 mAh), Mode 2 without 830 nm, and 'does not include wireless communication' (UK unit pairs by Bluetooth). Cleared indications: Mode 1 topical heating/minor muscle and joint pain; Mode 2 mild–moderate inflammatory acne; Mode 3 full-face wrinkles; Mode 4 (green) 'user comfort and relaxation purposes only'; Fitzpatrick I–IV. No clinical data in the 510(k). US status only — not a UK approval; not confirmed to apply to the UK unit.
UK: MHRA device registration Not yet checked
Details
Spec table says 'Over-the-Counter' and lists medical-electrical standards; UK marketing is cosmetic. Classification requires further review. MHRA told the BBC on 5 Nov 2025 that 'there are currently no LED face masks currently registered'. Registration can be checked on the MHRA Public Access Registration Database (PARD); not yet checked for this model.

Safety standards declared (11)

IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-11, IEC 60601-2-83, IEC TS 60601-4-2, IEC 62366-1, IEC 62471, ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10, ISO 10993-23

Declared in manual; test reports not published. IEC 62471 is listed but no risk group is given — ask. Manual also states IP22, Type BF applied part, and shows FCC, PSE and KC marks. Uses IEC 60601-2-83 (home light therapy) rather than 60601-2-57 used for Series 2.

A conformity mark or US FDA clearance doesn't prove a device works. "Not published" doesn't mean unsafe. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or take light-sensitising medicines, ask your GP or pharmacist first.

Other places sources disagree

Help centre says Series 3 is FDA-cleared. K260715 covers MK-110D, whose summary differs from the UK MK-110I manual in LED counts (110/band + 16 vs 125 × 6), battery (3.7 V 5000 mAh vs 7.4 V 2500 mAh), Mode 2 wavelengths (no 830 nm) and wireless (none vs Bluetooth app).
Product page says SGS showed brightness +26.8% and elasticity +57.1% 'in 4 weeks'; the SGS report gives these values at D56 (8 weeks) on the Series 2 mask. Headline also says '57% in 8 weeks', contradicting '4 weeks' on the same page.
Page figures '100% of participants' (532 nm) and '8.6% … higher baseline redness' (590 nm) are not in the published study summaries (summary gives −4.06% and −5.08% overall).
