CurrentBody's Series 2 is a genuine step up from the Series 1 — and it's also been marketed as "the most powerful mask in the world." As someone who's tracked this brand since 2020, let me separate the real progress from the spin.
First, the progress, because it's real. I was among the first in France to cover the CurrentBody LED mask back in 2020, and I flagged the Series 1's two weak points from the start: a strap that slips and an uncomfortable nose bridge. The Series 2 addresses both with a custom mould — higher, comfier nose bridge, better hold, and a jaw flap that finally covers the lower face.
Designing a bespoke mould instead of buying a generic catalogue shell is something very few brands in the world do — really only Nooance (since 2022) and now CurrentBody with the Series 2. Credit where it's due: this is real innovation, far more comfortable than the Series 1, and it brings CurrentBody level with Nooance on fit. So far, so good.
Here's where it pays to read carefully. CurrentBody describes the Series 2 as 110 red (633 nm) + 110 near-infrared (830 nm) + 16 deep near-infrared (1072 nm). But a "LED" isn't always one light point: a single point can share its power across several wavelengths at once (see multispectral LEDs). On the Series 2 there are about 94 light points carrying the classic red+near-infrared (dual-core LEDs), plus 16 multispectral points around the eyes and mouth that split their power across three wavelengths. As I put it in do more LEDs help?: it's like slicing a cake — the more guests, the smaller each slice.
Two things follow from that:
1. Density looks comparable to Nooance, not superior. Around 94 dedicated red+near-infrared points is only ~11 more than a Nooance mask — and Nooance adds its jaw flap too. Per cm², the LED density looks broadly equivalent, not a leap ahead.
2. At the eyes and mouth, the classic combo may actually be weaker. Those 16 spots share their ~30 mW across three wavelengths, so the proven red+near-infrared duo gets a smaller slice there than on the Series 1 or a Nooance mask. Whether the added deep near-infrared compensates, I can't say from the public data.
The deep near-infrared at 1072 nm is the headline feature. My honest, evidence-led take:
The combo that's actually well documented in the literature is 633 + 830 nm — for fine lines, radiance, cell-renewal support, a calming effect and smoother texture. There's very little published on 1072 nm. Deep near-infrared is said to reach further into the dermis, but to do anything there it needs enough energy to arrive — and CurrentBody still quotes about 30 mW/cm² overall, with no separate irradiance for the new band. So I can't tell whether it adds a real benefit on top of what red+near-infrared already deliver. I'd want to test it on my own skin over months to judge.
CurrentBody is a trustworthy, scientifically grounded brand, and the Series 2 genuinely beats the Series 1. But on irradiance — the figure that best predicts how skin responds — it sits at ~30 mW/cm², while two Nooance masks publish more than 45. "Most powerful" doesn't square with that. What's fair to say: Nooance and CurrentBody are the two best brands on the market, both with proven results. That's the real headline.

The Series 2 is a real, welcome step up: a comfortable custom mould, jaw coverage, and an interesting (if unproven) third wavelength, from a brand you can trust. Just don't buy it for the "most powerful" line — on measured irradiance, Nooance leads. If you value comfort and the CurrentBody ecosystem, it's a fair choice; if you optimise for delivered light, see Nooance vs CurrentBody Series 2.
Two things, mainly: a custom mould (higher nose bridge, jaw coverage, better hold) replacing the older catalogue shape, and a third wavelength — deep near-infrared at 1072 nm — on 16 multispectral spots around the eyes and mouth, alongside the 633 nm red and 830 nm near-infrared.
I'd be careful with that claim. It quotes about 30 mW/cm² of irradiance, whereas two Nooance masks publish more than 45 mW/cm². The Series 2 is a real improvement on the Series 1, and CurrentBody is a trustworthy brand — but 'most powerful' doesn't match the irradiance figures.
There's no clear evidence yet that it beats a mask with higher irradiance or more dedicated LEDs. The 16 spots that carry it are multispectral — they split their energy across three wavelengths — and CurrentBody doesn't publish a separate irradiance for the new band, so it's hard to judge. The 633+830 nm combo, by contrast, is very well studied.
