The CurrentBody Skin LED mask is probably the most famous LED face mask in Britain. Celebrity endorsed, heavily reviewed, and priced around £400, it is the device most people picture when they hear the category's name, and it is genuinely good hardware. The question this guide answers honestly is a different one: is it £270 better than the £129.99 GlowVital OmniGlow? We will walk through how the technology works, what the famous mask does and does not include, the cost per session over a year, and who should buy which.
Choose CurrentBody if…
You want the most famous name in the category, with years of clinical marketing and a huge review base behind it, and price is no object.
Choose the OmniGlow if…
You want red, blue and near-infrared in one wireless mask, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and more than £250 left over.
First, how any LED mask works
LED light therapy uses narrow, non UV bands of light to support how skin looks over time. The three bands that matter in this category:
- Red, around 620 to 640nm. The most studied band, associated with supporting collagen and the look of smoother, firmer skin.
- Blue, around 465 to 475nm. Targets blemish causing bacteria at the skin's surface, which is why it is the band linked with clearer looking skin.
- Near-infrared, around 820 to 850nm. Just beyond visible light, penetrating deepest for overall skin support.
The science carries two practical lessons for buyers. A 630nm red LED behaves the same whichever logo is on the box, so wavelengths and coverage matter more than fame. And results compound with consistency: ten minutes, three to five evenings a week, sustained for weeks. The right mask is the one you will actually keep wearing.
What the famous mask includes, and what it leaves out
Here is the detail many buyers miss. CurrentBody's flagship Series 2 mask focuses on red, deep red and near-infrared light. It is excellent at what it does. But blue light, the blemish band, is not part of the flagship mask; CurrentBody typically sells blemish focused treatment as a separate device. If breakouts are part of your concern, the famous mask alone does not cover it, and that changes the value calculation completely.
OmniGlow runs all three bands in one device: red for the look of firmness, blue for clarity, near-infrared for depth.

Design and comfort
Flexible medical grade silicone follows the contours of the face, so light sits close to skin across the whole surface.
Both masks use a flexible, wireless design, and both are comfortable enough for a daily habit, which is the bar that matters. The OmniGlow pairs its soft silicone shell with a separate wireless remote and 10 minute sessions, so you can read, work or watch television mid session. In our published review base, 84% of surveyed customers reported visibly smoother looking skin by week 7 of consistent use at three to five sessions a week.
The brand fame question, answered honestly
CurrentBody has earned its position. Years of clinical marketing, a review base in the tens of thousands, and adoption by celebrities and facialists give it a credibility halo no young brand can match overnight, ours included. If owning the famous device matters to you, that is a legitimate reason to buy it and you will not be disappointed by the hardware.
Our counterargument is not louder marketing. It is structural: the wavelengths are the same physics at any price, the blue band is included rather than sold separately, and the 30-day money-back guarantee moves the burden of proof onto the product. You do not have to believe us over them. You have a month to believe your own mirror.
The cost per session maths
Assume four sessions a week, which is 208 sessions in year one.
| Option | Upfront | Cost per session, year one |
|---|---|---|
| GlowVital OmniGlow | £129.99 | About 62p |
| CurrentBody Skin Series 2 | Around £400 | About £1.92 |
| Clinic LED course | £60 to £120 per session | £60 to £120 |
Per session, the famous mask costs roughly three times more for red and near-infrared coverage, without the blue band. At £129.99 you could buy an OmniGlow, add the complete Lumeris under-eye ritual, and still keep over £200 of the difference.
Guarantee, warranty and support
OmniGlow ships with a 30-day money-back guarantee, a 2-Year Warranty, UK support and Royal Mail Tracked delivery, free on orders over £35, with Klarna pay in 3 and Clearpay pay in 4 available. CurrentBody's policies are reputable for the category; check their current terms when you compare. The structural point stands for any device at any price: a real money back window is the only spec that lets you test the product on your own skin risk free.

The bottom line
Our verdict
If brand fame is the deciding factor, CurrentBody earns its reputation and the hardware is excellent. If you want all three wavelengths in one wireless mask, including the blue band the flagship leaves out, with 30 days to prove it on your own skin, the OmniGlow at £129.99 is the value decision of 2026.

Frequently asked questions
Does the OmniGlow have blue light and CurrentBody not?
OmniGlow includes blue light at 465 to 475nm as one of its three modes. CurrentBody's flagship Series 2 mask focuses on red, deep red and near-infrared; blemish focused treatment is typically a separate device. Check their current specifications before buying.
Is a £129.99 mask lower quality than a £400 one?
Price in this category mostly reflects brand and marketing rather than extra wavelengths. A 630nm red LED behaves the same at any price. OmniGlow uses 120 medical grade LEDs in a flexible silicone shell and is covered by a 2-Year Warranty.
How long until I see results with either mask?
LED results build with consistency at any price point. As a guide from our review base, visible changes are typically reported between week 5 and week 7 at three to five sessions a week.
Are LED masks safe to use at home?
LED therapy is non invasive and uses no UV light. If you have a diagnosed skin condition, are pregnant, or take photosensitising medication, check with your GP before starting.
What if I buy the OmniGlow and prefer to upgrade later?
The 30-day money-back guarantee means you can try it at home first. If it is not for you, return it for a full refund.
Are these prices current?
Prices were checked in June 2026 from public UK listings. Always confirm current pricing and specifications on each brand's own site.
