This LED face mask is a total splurge at $800, but right now is the time to buy at a whopping 50% off. Unlike most masks, the iRestore combines red light therapy with infrared light (which targets deeper layers of the skin) and blue light (which helps reduce oil and acne-causing bacteria). I love that this mask hovers over the face rather than sitting upon the skin to keep things more hygienic, and that the fit is completely adjustable so you can walk around without it sliding off.
iRestore is cost-effective without compromising quality. It combines 655 nm wavelengths—the sweet spot for promoting growth—with red laser diodes to penetrate deeper to accelerate hair growth.
This panel stands out with 287 rows of light diodes and a 180-degree light source that delivers a nearly 360-degree treatment for your face, neck, hands, and body. Its design mirrors professional salon and dermatology equipment and features the widest range of light options on our list: yellow, green, blue, red, cyan, purple, and white. One of the best benefits of a panel like this is that you can use it on different areas of your body—a huge plus for sport enthusiasts using red light for muscle recovery or beauty aficionados looking to target more than just their face.
Our beauty editor Nicole Saunders is a red light therapy devotee, and if I trust anybody for an LED face mask rec—it’s her. She’s tried dozens and swears by this option from CurrentBody. “It ticks all my boxes for a light therapy tool, such as emitting multiple wavelengths to boost my glow,” she says. That’s because it harnesses the power of red, near-infrared, and deep near-infrared wavelengths to deliver more anti-aging benefits than a single-wavelength treatment. “The more often I use this mask, the better my skin looks,” Saunders says.
This hardshell, cordless mask is great if you want something totally unfussy that will do the job without an annoying wire getting in the way. This mask offers red, infrared, and blue light options, but what we find most impressive are the whopping 50 LEDs—for context, most masks include anywhere from 100 to 300 diodes! Beauty director Brian Underwood also approves of the mask: “I felt like this was the best bang for your buck, and I noticed a huge brightness boost as well as far fewer breakouts,” he says.
If you’re on the hunt for a handheld, portable red light therapy device you can easily take with you anywhere, Solawave’s 2-in-1 Skincare Mini is the answer. It combines red and near-infrared light (along with therapeutic warmth), which can be used on the face, neck, chest, hands, or really anywhere else. Bonus: All of the tech in this tiny tool works together in one preset mode, so there’s no need to worry about switching between different modalities.
Red light therapy, in a hair dryer? Yes, please! This “smart” hair dryer combines red and infrared light with ionic technology to banish frizz and protect the cuticles for healthier, thicker hair. It also uses intelligent heat controls to prevent heat damage by continuously monitoring and adjusting the temperature. Translation: a salon-quality blowout that promotes smoother, shinier, softer strands with every use.
