The Aurion X252 is Nooance's accessible entry point — and the one to look at if covering the jawline matters to you. It's cordless, well specified, and honest about its trade-offs.

A focused mix of red and near-infrared

The Aurion X252 pairs 99 red LEDs at 633 nm with 99 near-infrared at 830 nm — 198 in total — the two wavelengths with the strongest research behind them for firmness, fine lines and overall skin quality. Expect the usual red/near-infrared benefits: support for collagen, a brighter-looking complexion, and a calming effect on redness-prone skin. Results build with regular use, not overnight.

Strong output for the price

Around 45 mW/cm² of irradiance and 24 J/cm² delivered — serious numbers at this level — with LEDs held to ±2 nm precision rather than the looser tolerances of standard diodes. (To understand why those figures matter more than a headline wattage, see power vs irradiance.)

Made to reach the jawline

The patented semi-rigid shell blends rigidity and flex, with soft medical-grade silicone inside. Its shape wraps the lower face, so it reaches the spots flat masks skip — eye contour, upper lip and, notably, the jawline. If lower-face contour is your priority, this is the entry model built for it.

The honest trade-off

Two things to know. The battery sits in the forehead of the mask, which makes it a little heavier than the lightest options, and you'll recharge roughly every two sessions. The upside of that design is genuine cordless use — no cable tethering you to a wall while you wear it.

Where it sits in the range

If you mainly want to target the eye area rather than the jawline, the ultra-light Eye Mask X200 is the cheaper, lighter sibling; if you want more output, look at Le Professionnel. I lay out the whole range in which Nooance LED mask should you buy?

Verdict

For a first, well-built, cordless mask that actually covers the jawline, the Aurion X252 is a strong value pick: the right wavelengths, solid output, just accept the slight weight and the every-two-sessions recharge. It earns its place in the best LED masks guide.

FAQ

What are the Nooance Aurion X252 specs?

198 LEDs (99 red at 633 nm and 99 near-infrared at 830 nm), around 45 mW/cm² irradiance and 24 J/cm² delivered, ±2 nm precision, a patented semi-rigid shell with medical-grade silicone, and a built-in (cordless) battery.

Does the Aurion X252 cover the jawline?

Yes — that's part of what it's designed for. Its patented shape wraps the lower face, so the jawline and contour get covered, unlike many flat masks that stop at the cheeks.

What's the downside of the Aurion X252?

The battery sits in the forehead area, so the mask is a touch heavier than the lightest options, and you'll recharge roughly every two sessions. In exchange you get true cordless use.
