I LOVE LED: My absolute favorite LED devices for 2024 (2024)

I'm a massive fan of red, near-infrared, green and blue light. There are literally thousands of studies that support using specific wavelengths of light to create healthier, more glowing and younger-looking skin. My recent video and blog about the subject have highlights of these studies and build an extremely solid case for why everybody should have LED therapy in their toolkits at home. But if you're after my latest favorite picks on LED, this is the right place for you!!

The amazing thing is that we've seen so many fantastic introductions of LED devices in the last few years. No matter what your budget or usage pattern (do you prefer to use standing, lying down, with eyes open or closed, just for your face or other body areas etc), there is a fantastic device for you.

It's such a pleasure for me to share this list. I've tried so many devices - these are really the top of my top (and loved in my Facebook group as well!!) In most cases, I've included two choices, sharing what sets one apart from the other.

SOME Benefits of LED

Non Invasive Skin Rejuvenator

Non Invasive Scalp Rejuvenator

Acne Slayer

My top picks going in 2024:

Masks

Why I love this mask:

Bev, Founder of Maysama, really hit it out of the park with this LED mask! It is extremely flexible and comfortable and also is the first mask I have seen that has full lip coverage, so cool!

CurrentBody Series 2 LED Mask

Code BFPENN saves 20%

Style:Best-Fit flexible liquid silicone shape

Wavelengths:red (633nm), near-infrared (830nm), and new deep near-infrared (1072nm).

Irradiance: 30 mw/cm2 (lower radiance is NOT a bad thing - the theraputic window is 30-50 mw/cm2 we're looking for slow and steady for best results.)

Warranty:2 years

Why I love this mask:

CurrentBody has innovatedwith the best-fit flexible liquid silicone shape, including upgraded full lip and nose coverage, and submental coverage, so important!! This mask is extremely comfortable. They've also updated light coverage with an exclusive layout of236 LED bulbsemitting three clinically recognized wavelengths, including deep near-infrared which has been studied for superior collagen-generating effects around the eyes and mouth. I also love that the control has a clip on it, so I can easily clip it to my pocket and move around my home freely while I do an LED treatment. Do watch the above-linked video to learn more about the 1072 wavelength.

Code: Penn10 for a discount

Style: Medical grade silicone soft shell

Treatment time: 10 min (3-5 times per week)

Wavelengths: LED Red 630nm+NIR 830nm, Blue 415nm (3 modes) and Blue 415nm + red 630nm

Irradiance: 30 mW/cm2

Warranty: 1 year

APEX GLO Technology™ optimizes light distribution

234 LEDs (78 Triple LED bulbs)

Why I like this mask: This is so innovative! I love that the submental area is treated with LED. The fit is light and comfortable especially with the straps that extend from the submental piece to the top of the head. Dr Rajani patented this design - and for good reason!

The fit is right up there with my HigherDose mask-so comfy.

I also love the light distribution- each bulb "spreads" the light so that you get better coverage. Dr Rajani is calling this "Apex Glo Technology"... brilliant! Another feature that I love is the combo Blue+Red light along with submental/jawline application. This is a common area for blemishes and blue+red light is incredibly effective at reducing inflammation and clearing acne.

Code PENNBFCM saves 20%

~This discount doesnot apply to bundles. If you put items in your cart separatelythe discount will apply. :)

Style:Flexible (29.5 cm x 21.6 cm, weight )

Wavelengths:630nm; 830nm

Irradiance: 50 mW/cm2

Fluence:30 J/cm2

Warranty:1 year limited

Why I love this mask: There are so many good flexible LED masks out there, but the HigherDose one stands out in a few ways. Firstly, it's the fit. The HigherDose Mask has a head strap that reaches over the top of the mask, creating the most secure and comfortable fit of any mask I've tried. Don't underestimate the importance of a well-fitting mask. Ensuring that those little LEDs hit right and stay in place is crucial for good light coverage. And since every face is a bit different, having that extra strap to control how high/low the mask sits seems to make all the difference. The other thing that I love about this mask is the cover. It may sound silly but it makes it easy to find among my other skincare paraphernalia. I also love the price point of this mask- it is around $350 and I have an affiliate code for it- making it under $300. For the quality, fit, and overall design that makes for a great deal!

Neck/Dec Devices

HigherDose Neck and Dec

Code PENNBFCM saves 20%

The best neck and dec on the market! Why? Because it is large enough to cover the entire area (which is what we want, amiright?). The neck piece treats ALL around the neck and the 150 LEDs provide 50mW/cm2 for an effective LED session. Flip it around to treat your back or put it on your belly....Drape it over your thigh/knee....It is a good size LED that is SO versitile!

From the brand:

Select your preferred frequency. “New research showsthat pulsing can increase the effectiveness of Red Light Therapy by 10-15%. This is currently the only red light panel on the market that enables you to adjustthe pulsing. You can adjust the hz, which correspond to different wavelengths in the brain… New research shows you can entrain your brain waves like using binaural beats.” -Eric James, Founder & CEO, Red Therapy Co

Why I like this device: This panel is THE panel for me. It is large but not too large. It pulses but the pulse is imperceptible - and I love that I can adjust the HZ (pulsing/wave). I use the stand and I angle the panel so that I can literally roll my office chair over to the panel and bask in the light for 10 minutes daily. The best panel I have ever owned by far!

Hands

Honestly I love to use any of my masks, patches or panels on my hands. You don't need a separate hand device. I have looked at the Omnilux option and it is intriguing but I never bit the bullet.

Other Wearables

LightSalon Collar

Code Penn25 saves 25% (bundles excluded)

This is still my favorite travel buddy LED. She is small but she is mighty! While I am always caring for my face I realize that my NECK needs special attention. The collar does just that and is practically weightless. I can do anything with it on making it a no-brainer. If you own this and also own a mask you can create your own face/submental situation... Simply drape the collar under your chin and fasten at the top of the head to get a sub-mental LED treatment. Viola!

Style: Medical grade silicone soft shell

Treatment time: 10-20 min (3-7 times per week)

Wavelengths:LED Red 633nm+NIR 830nm

Warranty:1 year

LightSalon Patch

Code Penn25 saves 25% (bundles excluded)

The patch is so great for pre-treating surgical sites, for post surgical swelling, wound healing, joint pain and so much more. The patch is a perfect sharable wearable (see what I did there?). Great on the scalp, the knees, belly, back, feet....you name it!

Style: Medical grade silicone soft shell

Treatment time: 10 minutes a day (3-7 times per week)

Wavelengths:LED Red 633nm+NIR 830nm

Illuminate LED

Style: Flexible dome

Treatment time: 5 minutes (5-7 times per week)

Wavelengths: 630nm (red panel) 525nm (green panel) 415nm (blue panel)

This has a whopping 6000 joules of energy in the red panel and 5000 joules of energy in the green and the blue panels delivered by 1800 LEDs

Warranty: 3-year warranty

Why I like this panel/dome: I love that the red panel is only red (660 nm). This is hard to find (in my opinion) and is a great option for people wanting to avoid NIR (melasma). The green panel is FANTASTIC. Green light is less studied but in my experience it offers a brightening unlike anything else! I love it to calm redness and to combat hyperpigmentation. This is the only green light that I have found that truly seems effective. This is very expensive- and I have no affiliate code or discount BUT if you are in-office you may want to consider this for your aesthetic business as it is hands-down the best flexible panel I've ever purchased!
