1. Project E Beauty LED Facial mask
Project E Beauty LED Face Mask Pros:
- 7 color therapy lights
- Cost-effective
- Large treatment area, covers the entire face
- Hands-free treatment
- Lights are timed automatically, so once the 15-minute session is over, the lights will turn off and you can remove the mask.
👉 I tried the Project E LED face mask for 30 days! check out my LED face mask before and after.
Cons
- A bit heavy on the nose
2. 🥇 TrueLight™ Energy Square – Professional LED Light Therapy Machine
The TrueLight Energy Square by True Dark is the best LED light therapy panel we’ve found, and especially helpful for collagen production, wrinkle reduction, scar elimination, muscle and tissue recovery, and reducing rosacea and skin irritation.
In one session you can cover your entire face, neck, and chest area!
It has 4 different types of LED therapy lights (wavelengths):
- Two different wavelengths of Red for Rejuvenation (660nm & 630nm)
- Near-Infrared for Strengthening and pain relief (850 nm)
- Yellow for Skin Preparation (580 nm)
You can choose using red only/red+yellow or yellow only.
It’s lightweight and portable and covers a lot of skin area due to its large size, and emits no EMF!
Plus, you can choose from two lightning modes – steady or pulsating.
TrueLight also comes with:
- Hand-held remote to control lighting options
- Optional adjustable stand (recommended)
- 10-foot power cord
- Velvet drawstring storage bag
- User Guide & Operating Instructions manual
👉 Treatment time: 20 minutes, 3-4 times a week. For best results, use on bare skin, no more than 6-8 inches away from the treatment area. I recommend using with your eyes closed, or with safety goggles.
The company offers excellent customer service and a 1-year warranty.

3. 🥇Aduro LED Light Therapy Mask
The Aduro LED light therapy mask is our #1 choice when it comes LED masks, because it has 8 colors, 11 pre-programmed treatments (no need to overthink the colors you need), has infrared light, and is made with comfortable silicone instead of the heavy plastic most LED masks are made with.
If an LED mask is what you want, we highly recommend the Aduro LED mask. I tried it (and still use it!), see my results below:
4. Clerel – Best Handheld (Cordless) Red LED Light Therapy Device
👉 See my full review for the best handheld LED light therapy device!
The new Clerel red & infrared light therapy & micro-vibration LED light therapy machine is our top pick for handheld red LED devices because it combines:
- Red LED light therapy
- Infrared light therapy (soothing, deep penetrating heat)
- Micro vibration massage
All of them maximize the blood circulation-boosting effect – to the max.
Micro vibration massage, along with the red light wavelength and the infrared heat wavelength – double the anti-aging benefits of a regular red LED light therapy device.
You can use not only for wrinkle reduction, skin smoothness, and pore reduction – but as a cellulite massager as well.
Plus, is super pleasant to use, and I’ve used it even to relieve a tension headache – without pills.
The price is relatively high, but the device is well built, simple to use and very effective. I highly recommend it.
👉 Plus, you can use our special coupon code – MCLES30 – to get a $30 discount – on this site!
If you won’t like it, the company offers a 30-day return period and a 3-year warranty.
5. EASYBEAUTY Red Light Therapy Dome (with Infrared)
The EasyBeauty professional red LED light therapy dome comes with 4 different wavelengths and 1032 LEDs!
Here are the wavelengths:
- Red Light – 640nm – wrinkles reduction, anti-aging, scar healing, psoriasis, and eczema relief
- Blue light – 423nm – acne-causing bacteria destruction, cystic acne, skin inflammation prevention, skin purifying
- Yellow – 583nm – pigmentation reduction, improving skin softness
- Infrared – 880nm – pain relief, heat treatment
The dome structure of this device makes it very easy and comfortable to use (but adds to the price…) and you can choose to use only one color or combine two colors in one (30-minute) treatment.
EASYBEAUTY Dome Pros
- Automatic shut off (beeps when treatment time ends)
- A professional device with 1032 LEDs
- Easy to set up and use
- High ratings on Amazon
- It can be used for hair growth as well!
- Comes with safety goggles
Cons
- No money-back-guarantee trial (but can be returned if you buy through Amazon)
- Pulse mode is not recommended, users state that this hurts the eyes, even with the goggles on.
6. Anyork Red LED Light Therapy Body Panel
The Anyork red LED light therapy body panel is a larger device, with 338 LEDs, made to cover more than just your face and neck, and comes with a hanger.
Its treatment size is 11.8 X 22 inches, which means you can cover your face, neck and chest area in one treatment of red light therapy (660 nm).
And:
The large number of LEDs and the size of the panel make it a good treatment tool for pain relief and inflammation reduction.
The manufacturers are pretty confident about this one, promising a full 60-day money-back guarantee and 2-year warranty.
👉 Treatment time: Depending on the distance (recommended – 5-15 inches away), treatment time is 10-25 minutes, 2-5 times a week.
Make sure to use safety goggles (included in the package) to protect your eyes, the light is very bright!
- Can be hanged by also foldable
- Reasonable price
- 60-day money-back guarantee on Amazon
- Easy to set up and use
- Comes with safety goggles and hanger
- Large treatment area
- A lot of LEDs – more powerful treatment
Cons
- Some users were frustrated by the product being labeled as “grow light”. Just to be clear, grow lights and skin therapy light are both LEDs and are the same.
7. Lightstim Wrinkles – Best Handheld LED Light Therapy Device
The Lighstim Wrinkles handheld red light therapy device is a long-time (and award-winning) player in the LED light therapy market and has a good reputation and mostly positive reviews.
If you’re looking for a handheld device (which requires effort on your part) – the Lightstim is the only one we’d recommend.
It combines red and infrared light therapy in the same device and can be great for reducing fine lines in the forehead, nasolabial folds, crow’s feet and cheeks, and treating acne scars.
However, we only recommend this one if you insist upon a handheld device. Since 2019, we prefer LED masks as the best anti-aging and skin healing devices for the skin.
👉 See the Lightstim Wrinkles reviews on Amazon.
8. Norlanya Photo Therapy
- Foldable and easy to carry
- Full face and neck coverage in one treatment
- Only 10 minutes of treatment time total

Cons
- The light head is not very adjustable – only bends backward

- Large treatment area – covers the entire face
- Hands-free treatment
- Removable panels
- Short treatment time (9-15 minutes)
- Auto shut-off, no need to watch the time
- Red & infrared – can be used for pain relief too
Cons
- Not fit for travel
- No multitasking during treatment

LED Light Therapy FAQ
How do you prepare before having a home red LED facial? what can you after treatment? the answers are below:
While everyone reacts differently, You’ll probably see results after 8-12 weeks.
After you see skin rejuvenation improvement, you can reduce weekly treatment to 1-2 per week.
How Do You Prepare Your Skin for the Best Results?
Always use red light therapy (phototherapy) home devices on clean skin (preferably after a gentle exfoliation) – remove any makeup, serums or moisturizes completely.
Why?
Because they can interfere with light penetration into your skin.
Make sure to not use any skincare that may cause skin sensitivity to light (like retinol) before treatment.
You can use your regular skincare after treatment as normal.

Suzie Franz says
Thank you for the valuable info! I have the NuFACE light attachment. How does that stack up?
Meital James says
Haven’t reviewed it yet. Why don’t you tell us? :)
Zen says
If I buy a hand held Red LED w/ Infrared light, would I also be able to safely use it on my scalp to stimulate hair growth around my temples?
Or is the light needed for hair growth a different wavelength, then say the light found in the Baby Quasar Pur Rayz.
Meital James says
It’s the same wavelength, but it’s going to be hard work holding it and using it on each side of your scalp every day. Check out my post about regrowing hair with red light therapy here: https://www.infrared-light-therapy.com/red-light-therapy-hair-loss/
Jennifer Yu says
is it possible if we use the LED in our face then it could stimulate the facial hair growth too? i think i read in a forum where they use the LED in conjunction with dermarolling and found more facial hair
Meital James says
To my knowledge, red light therapy can not grow new hair on your face, where hair hasn’t been before. I use a LED light mask for months and no hair has grown on my face.
Nick says
Can you put serums while using red light therapy?
Meital James says
You can, but only after treatments.
Nick says
Can i use this daily? Or there should be spacing?
Meital James says
It is better to allow a few days for the skin to “relax” – every week. I never use more than 4-5 days a week.
Dyanne says
Please review Perfectio Plus and Elevare Plus. Thanks :)
Meital James says
I’ll try to get to that soon…:)
lyn says
should i be wary if it is not cleared by FDA?
Meital James says
Which one are you referring to?
Lyn says
project e mask
Meital James says
I have it at home and use it for months. To me it seems well made and high quality. Many red LED light devices are not cleared by the FDA, but the general technology is cleared for skin anti aging.
Lynette Benda says
Thank you so much.
Carolina says
Is this the same mask that it was today in the Doctors TV show?
Meital James says
I haven’t seen the show, you can send me the link for the show if it’s online, and I’ll check.
Vineeta Rajeev says
It’s not FDA cleared. Does that make it any less safer.
Also you have commented having tried Acura 7+1.
Did you use it at a different time.
If you were to buy for someone you live which one would you choose of the 2.
Meital James says
Which device are you referring to when you say it’s not FDA cleared?
As for the other mask, you mean I tried the Aduro 7+1, not the Acura and I used it after the Project E mask. It’s what I use now and I’m satisfied with it. At this point I would recommend the Aduro a bit more than the Project E, but it’s much more expensive. I hope this helps.
Merry Prewitt says
I would not be concerned by FDA approval! There are many wonderful things we use everyday that are not FDA approved. The FDA allows a great number of insects in canned, dried, and frozen foods. They also allow a percentage of arsenic and alloys in food and drugs. I do not put a lot of faith in the FDA “approvals”.
Cobina says
I have the Sirius Aurora Light Therapy one, can the red light touch my skin (face) or away from it? May I use it on daily basis or every other day? May I put aloe Vera after the use?
Meital James says
Yes, you can touch your face with your specific device, I’m sure the instructions say that clearly. You can use every day but no more than 5 times a week, to allow tour skin to regenerate. And yes, of course you can Aloe Vera or any other product after your red LED light therapy treatment.
Cobina says
Thank you so much for the information.
I have another question. Would I be able to use the anti pigment light also, after using the anti wrinkle light?
I’m using the red every other day, in between would I be able to use the other ones? I’m sorry I don’t have instructions with my box that’s why I’m asking
Thank you in advance
Meital James says
You can use the green light right after you’re done with the red light – but for less time. 10 minutes can be enough.
Cobina says
Thank you for your help.
Would I be able to use the green led light in between the days I don’t use the red led one?
Meital James says
Yes, you can. But make sure to listen to your body. Good luck!
Maureen Robson says
Would red light therapy be any good for the thin skin on my arms and cappillieries that keep bursting?
Meital James says
Yes, it may help. Definitely worth a try. It increases blood circulation in the area. Good luck!
Cheryl Kempin says
Have you used the Zero gravity perfectio X?
Meital James says
No, I haven’t. Have you?
Jackie says
Do you know of any data or research for Red Light Therapy and people of color?
Meital James says
To my knowledge, there should be no problem for people of color with red light therapy – just as safe and effective.
Cheri says
I’ve been looking at the Dermashine Mask. Have you tried this one?
Thanks
Meital James says
Haven’t tried it. Anyone here has?
Angela says
I was pulled into one of the pop up stores that sell Perfectio X. Yes it was a spir of the mome t purchase. Is it safe to use? I’ve read some concerning reviews 😳
Ellie says
Can any of these be used if I have a pacemaker
Meital James says
Red light therapy devices are electric and so may interfere with pacemakers. To stay on the safe side I would advise not to use it, or consult with your doctor first.
Cheryl says
Hi i was at state fair and just purchased Elevare Red. I dont see any reviews out here but found a couple of bad ones. Someone indicated it made there face worse. I paid 1499.00 and havent opened the bo . Should i return it?
Meital James says
You paid $1499? wow. Yes, I would return it and try something (much) less costly first, and maybe upgrade later if it works for me…
Cheryl says
Thanks, do you have any brands you recommend? Also does anyone know if these diminish varicose veins?
Lisa says
What are your findings on zero gravity perfection plus.
It is very expensive. How is it superior?
Meital James says
I tried to find any superior features or abilities with this product, but I haven’t found any. I wouldn’t spend so much money on a LED handheld device.
Chris Hemminghaus says
Hi Meital: I have a 250watt red heat bulb screwed into an aluminum incandescent light fixture. I have been using this on my face 6” away for 10 minute sessions. Is this good for the anti aging process and what’s your recommended usage?
Tracy says
Do you have to use eye protection with the mask? If so, what kind would you recommend?
Meital James says
You’ll need eye protection if you think you’ll look directly at the light, yes. There are several good ones on Amazon. Here’s an example: https://amzn.to/2u0z38o
