The CurrentBody Series 3 is much more than another basic red light mask.
LED face masks are not new, and neither is CurrentBody. What makes the LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask Series 3 interesting is how much control it gives you over the treatment.
CurrentBody has moved beyond a simple red-light routine. Series 3 has six wavelengths, four preset treatments, app-based customization, a redesigned controller, and a flexible silicone mask that covers the face and chin better.
It costs $569.99, which is $100 more than the Series 2. It is not cheap, so extra features alone are not enough to make it a good buy. But after using it, here are the five things that caught my attention most.
1. It can target more than fine lines and wrinkles
The biggest flex is the six wavelengths. Series 3 includes red, near-infrared, deep near-infrared, blue, green, and yellow light. CurrentBody combines these into four preset treatments called Advanced Anti-Aging, Advanced Clearing, Complexion Corrector, and Balance & Brighten.
In simple terms, CurrentBody positions the different lights for different concerns:
- Red and infrared light for signs of aging and firmness.
- Blue light targets spots and blemishes.
- Green light targets pigmentation.
- Yellow light targets redness and irritation.
This makes CurrentBody Mask Series 3 more versatile. It is especially useful if your skin has other issues besides lines and wrinkles.
However, there is an important catch. The evidence behind each color isn’t equally strong. Red and near-infrared light have a much more established role in skincare. But I am particularly skeptical about how much value the extra green and yellow wavelengths add. So I see the six-light system as flexibility, not proof that six colors make this 6x better.
2. MyDose makes the customization genuinely useful
The feature that sets the CurrentBody LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask Series 3 apart from many LED masks is MyDose.
Using the CurrentBody app, you can choose which wavelengths operate on different parts of your face. MyDose then calculates the treatment light dose. You can also save custom treatments, so you don’t have to redo the settings every time you use the mask.
That caught my attention because it gives the customization a practical purpose. Instead of simply switching the entire mask to red, blue, or another color, you can create a treatment based on where your skin shows signs of damage.
However, not everyone will want this level of control. That is why I like that the app is optional rather than mandatory for every session. If I wanted something simple, I could use one of the four presets instead.
3. CurrentBody has kept the mask easy to use
Advanced features can make a skincare device harder to use. CurrentBody LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask Series 3 mostly avoids that problem.
CurrentBody recommends a standard treatment of 10 minutes, three to five times per week. The mask also switches off after treatment, and the new controller has a screen that shows the selected mode and remaining treatment time.
Ten minutes is short enough that I could realistically add this device to a regular skincare routine. That matters because LED masks depend heavily on consistent use.
There are also four ready-made modes. That gives Series 3 two personalities. It can be a fairly simple mask when you want it to be, or a highly customizable one when you want more control.
4. The flexible design and chin coverage are practical
CurrentBody LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask Series 3 uses flexible silicone instead of a rigid shell, with adjustable straps and coverage that extends under the chin. The box also includes removable eye inserts.
Customer feedback on comfort is generally positive, but not completely consistent. An independent reviewer who bought the mask herself gave comfort a good overall score but said the shape can still put pressure on the bridge of the nose. She also argued that some gaps around the nose and upper lip remain similar to Series 2.
That difference of opinion is worth noting because face shapes differ. No flexible LED mask will fit every person the same way. Still, I would rather have a mask that sits close to the face and covers the chin properly than one that leaves large areas untreated. Comfort also affects consistency. If a $570 device becomes uncomfortable after five minutes, its other features will not matter much.
5. It feels like a meaningful upgrade
This is probably why the CurrentBody Face Mask Series 3 caught my attention.
It adds six wavelengths, MyDose customization, four presets, 750 LEDs, app connectivity, and a better controller. CurrentBody also uses its Veritace system to test individual LED output during production.
But I wouldn’t read the 750-LED figure as meaning the mask has more than 3x the useful coverage of Series 2. The six wavelengths are spread across roughly 125 multi-wavelength light positions. In other words, the headline LED number needs context.
There is also the price. In the U.S., Series 3 costs $569.99, $100 more than Series 2.
For someone buying their first premium LED mask, that extra money may be easier to justify because Series 3 combines several types of treatment in one device. If I already owned a CurrentBody Face Mask Series 2 and mainly cared about red-light anti-aging treatments, the upgrade would be much harder to justify.
