13 LED devices with US prices run from $269 to $649.99, a median of $395. Price per LED varies about 3.9-fold, from CurrentBody Series 3 to Omnilux Contour Face, and only some are cleared for acne as well as wrinkles.

Across 13 LED face devices with US prices on 23 October 2026, from $269 to $649.99, price per LED ran from $0.76 (CurrentBody Series 3) to $2.99 (Omnilux Contour Face), and 11 point to a 510(k) for wrinkles, acne or both.
The cheapest one whose FDA clearance covers what you want it for. On our numbers that is Silk'n LED Face Mask 100 or Hooga Luma at $299 for a full mask cleared for wrinkles and acne, or LightStim for Wrinkles at $269 if a handheld will do. Paying more buys more LEDs, more wavelengths, cordless designs, cooling or an app, none of which is the same as a broader clearance.
In short:
Closely on wavelengths, widely on price. Almost every device pairs red near 630 nm with near-infrared near 830 nm; the price differences come from LED count, extra wavelengths, form factor and brand. Dividing price by LED count and by cleared indications puts them on one footing.

On price per cleared indication, Silk'n LED Face Mask 100 comes out lowest at $99.67 and CurrentBody Series 2 highest at $469.99. Two devices have no number here because no FDA clearance names the model on sale: Dr. Dennis Gross's page says "FDA Cleared!" without a K-number, and Solawave's Pro mask sits under a listing that names the non-Pro mask. See are LED face masks FDA approved? for the record behind each row.
Only loosely. TheraFace Mask's 648 lights cost $1.00 each; Omnilux's 132 cost $2.99. LED count is also counted differently: HigherDOSE counts 132 diodes in 66 dual-core LEDs, Omnilux 132 LEDs in 66 dual-chip bulbs, and Dr. Dennis Gross's page says both "up to 100 lights" and 100 red plus 60 blue. CurrentBody's Series 3 page says 750 LED bulbs while its 510(k) summary counts 566; on the summary's count it would cost $1.01 per LED rather than $0.76. More LEDs is not a measure of dose, which depends on irradiance and minutes.
Red and near-infrared on nearly all of them; 8 of 14 add blue for acne, and 2 add a deep near-infrared band above 1000 nm. Amber, green and yellow appear on a few. The strip shows each device's wavelengths as stated on its own page.
The independent evidence is mixed and stronger for acne than for wrinkles, and nobody independent has published a head-to-head of these models yet. Three systematic reviews are worth knowing:
Which? published a test of 10 masks priced £140 to £579 on 16 October 2026: each tester uses one mask for 6 weeks, with 3D scans before and after read with a dermatologist, and early ratings rest on 2 testers per mask. The brands include CurrentBody, Dr Dennis Gross, Higher Dose, Omnilux, Shark, Silk'n and TheraFace. The scores are for Which? members only, so we do not repeat or guess them; the method is public.
Brands publish their own figures: CurrentBody says Series 2 reduced wrinkles by 30% in 8 weeks, Shark a 24% drop in fine line visibility over 12 weeks in 60 people, and Therabody that 83% of 31 participants saw improvement in facial contour, from a perception survey. These are makers' claims, mostly unlinked.
1. K-number: on the page or box? Look it up at accessdata.fda.gov. Does it name this model? 2. Indication: wrinkles, acne, or both? Buy for the goal it is cleared for. 3. Wavelengths: does the page match the 510(k) summary? If not, ask which K covers it. 4. Minutes: 3 to 10 per session here. Count what you will actually do, several times a week. 5. Returns: HigherDOSE offers 120 days; most others 30 to 60. Read before the box is opened. 6. Results claims: whose study, how many people, linked or not? Most here are not linked.

Prices, LED counts, wavelengths and session times are each brand's own, read on 23 October 2026 in US dollars. Indications come from the 510(k) record that names the model, read from openFDA and the FDA-hosted summary PDF the same day. Price per LED divides the listed price by the page's LED count (or the 510(k) count where the page gives none, marked). Price per indication divides by the number of indications on the clearance: wrinkles, acne, topical heating. Several stores refused automated reads on a first pass and were read on retry the same day. MZ Skin's store served its UK page in pounds, so it is left out of every price computation rather than converted. Nothing here is our verdict on whether a mask works; the evidence section reports what published reviews found.

On price per cleared indication, Silk'n LED Face Mask 100 at $299: its 510(k) covers wrinkles, acne and topical heating. For wrinkles alone, Omnilux Contour Face at $395 and HigherDOSE at $349 are cleared for full-face wrinkles.
Of the 14 here: CurrentBody Series 3, Shark CryoGlow, TheraFace Mask, Qure Q-Rejuvalight Pro, Silk'n LED Face Mask 100, Hooga Luma, MZ Skin LightMAX 2.0. Their 510(k) records list mild to moderate inflammatory acne.
From 3 minutes (Qure, Dr. Dennis Gross, Solawave Pro) to 10 (CurrentBody Series 1 and 2, Omnilux, HigherDOSE), as each brand states. HigherDOSE also offers 20 minutes; its 510(k) summary lists a 10-minute treatment.
Not necessarily. Dose depends on irradiance and time, and brands count LEDs differently: dual-core and dual-chip packages are counted as one or two depending on the brand. Treat LED count as a spec, not a result.
Which? published a test of 10 masks on 16 October 2026, using 6 weeks of use and 3D scans read with a dermatologist. Its scores are for members only, so we have not repeated them.
Yes. Qure's Q-Rejuvalight Pro is controlled by the Qure Skincare app (1.5 stars from 193 ratings on 23 October 2026), and CurrentBody's MyDose app, released in August 2026, sends custom treatments to its masks.
Buy for the indication, not the LED count. Find the K-number, check it covers wrinkles, acne or both, and then choose on price, comfort and minutes. The published evidence is firmer for acne than for wrinkles, and the brands' own figures are claims, not tests.
