CurrentBody released the LED Mask Series 3 in September 2026 with 6 wavelengths, an app and a remote with a screen. I wanted to see whether it could finally get close to the Nooance Elite X600 (my review after testing it), the LED mask I’ve scored 92/100, and still put on 3 evenings a week. I also wore the Currentbody Series 2 for 12 weeks, so I can compare it with the Series 3.
So here are the 2 LED masks side by side, criterion by criterion, with what CurrentBody changed, what it left alone, and which one I’d buy.

〰️ Buy the CurrentBody Series 3 if you want blue and red light in the same LED mask, and $179 less than the Nooance matters more to you than the light density and light power. You get a flexible silicone LED mask, 2 years of warranty, and exactly the coverage of the Series 2.
✔️ Buy the Nooance Elite X600 if you want a better coverage, and you want an irradiance (light power) on the top of the ladder (50 mW/cm²). It’s red and near-infrared only, 10 minutes 3 times a week, and it’s the only one of the 2 that changed something I could photograph on my face.
What I tested: the CurrentBody Series 3 and the Nooance Elite X600
My code EMILIE15 for CurrentBody and my code TESTEMILIE15 for Nooance earn me a commission, and neither changes a score or a verdict.
On the CurrentBody side, the Skin LED Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 3, model MK-110I, $569.99 on currentbody.us.
On the Nooance side, the Nooance Elite X600 LED mask, model MJ-66C, $749.00 on Nooance US website.
The Series 3 uses the Series 2’s shell and layout, so my 12 weeks with the CurrentBody Series 2 LED mask is relevant for you: the fit, the gaps and the eye inserts are things I already know. I have also my full review of the Currentbody Series 3, so you can see the similarities between both Series models.

CurrentBody Series 3: my own before & after
My test is still running (I received the LED mask few days back), so no score here. What I can share is what the same sheet of LED did on the Series 2: about 50 sessions over 12 weeks at 30 mW/cm² and nothing I could defend in a photo.
The Series 3 sends the same red and near-infrared through 15 more light points, with an irradiance unknown but I assume it has not improved (else, Currentbody should state it clearly because it would be an improvement…).
CurrentBody Series 3: the brand’s before & after
The before&after shared by Currentbody is from a buyer, but I would prefer one from a study with better shooting conditions… And the numbers on the page don’t come from a Series 3 either. The 2 documented trials were run on the Series 2: SGS in 2024, and Eurofins in 2025 on 30 women aged 40 to 55 over 56 days.
The 37.1% wrinkle volume figure attached to the 1072 nm comes from a third Eurofins study in 2026, run on the Multi-Light Mask. So CurrentBody sells the Series 3 under results measured on 2 other LED masks, and the page’s own footnotes say so.
Nooance Elite X600: my own before & after
After 36 sessions my skin tone had evened out and the pores along my nose were visibly tighter. I took this before&after with the same camera, the same lamp and the same distance. I can’t share results on wrinkles considering at my age I don’t have ones yet, but I use red light therapy to prevent them.
Nooance Elite X600: the brand’s before & after
Nooance’s figures and pictures of Before&After come from GREDECO, a named laboratory with a named dermatologist, over 90 days on 21 volunteers aged 35 to 65, at the 3 weekly sessions.
We can see crow’s feet 8% shallower, nasolabial folds 13% shallower, texture 14% smoother, elasticity up 23% and dermal density up 42%, with macrophotographs at day 0, 30 and 90. It was run on this exact model, Nooance Elite X600, and that’s the difference with the CurrentBody page.
Irradiance: Series 3 at 2/5 · Elite X600 at 4.5/5
- CurrentBody Series 3 not disclosed
- CurrentBody Series 2 30
- CurrentBody Multi-Light Mask 38
- Nooance Elite X600 50
CurrentBody Series 3: no irradiance on the page
CurrentBody shared 30 mW/cm² for the Series 2, but for the Series 3 it prints nothing at all, and its own Series 3 versus Series 2 table does not mention it! The only numbers I could find sit in the FDA file of the Multi-Light Mask, K260715: 18 mW/cm² of red, 13 of near-infrared and 7 of deep near-infrared in the anti-aging mode. No measurement distance anywhere in the file, so that’s assumptions from my side here.
What I was hoping for from a third generation was 50 mW/cm² at the skin, and that file suggests CurrentBody stayed in the 30s instead…
Nooance Elite X600: 50 mW/cm², calibrated on the skin
Nooance state clearly the 50 mW/cm² and says where it’s measured: in direct contact with the skin. 10 minutes at that level is roughly 30 J/cm², inside the top window most light therapy studies work in, which is why 3 sessions a week are enough here when CurrentBody asks for up to 5.

CurrentBody Series 3: 750 LEDs but 125 light points
CurrentBody advertises 750 LEDs against 236 on the Series 2. This can be seen as a huge improvement! But what really matters, as I explained in my Foreo LED mask review, it the true number of light outputs. For Currentbody Series 3 LED mask, there are 125 light points, each one able to emit the 6 wavelengths, for a total of 125 x 6 = 750 LEDs.
The series 2 had 110 light points, so the jump from 236 LEDs to 750 LEDs is only 15 more light points on an unchanged shell: same cutouts at the nose, same empty band above the upper lip, same holes around the eyes. Every LED mask brand counts diodes rather than positions, so the convention isn’t a mark against CurrentBody, but a buyer will read 3 times the light where there are 15 more points.
Number of LED can be used as marketing number, but the light density isn’t a marketing one: it’s how the dose gets to the skin. When the emitters are close to one another, the beams overlap, and the skin receives a higher dose of light. But when the emitters are far apart, the area between them receives a lower dose.
That’s what I’d hoped a Series 3 would fix, with more light points and a LED mask that follows the jaw and the sides of the nose, and neither happened.
Nooance Elite X600: 600 LED for 300 light points
Nooance’s 600 LEDs are 300 dual-core emitters, a red die and a near-infrared die in each. 300 positions against 125 is the number to remember as it explains the coverage difference.
But the shell counts as much: the Elite X600 is molded in 3D and sits on the skin even at the jawline, under the chin, along the nose and over the upper lip, exactly where the CurrentBody leaves cutouts or air. The Series 3’s 15 extra points don’t close that gap, and no app setting can move a light point when there isn’t one.

CurrentBody Series 3: insufficient Proof
The Series 2 held 7 points out of 7 on this grid, and the Series 3 drops to 2 for one reason: CurrentBody changed the LED mask and kept the Series 2’s paperwork. The page says FDA-cleared with no number, and the 510(k) database has nothing under MK-110I.
The nearest file, K260715, is the Multi-Light Mask’s, and it’s worth reading for what it clears: the red and near-infrared mode is cleared for topical heating, wrinkles sit on the yellow and 830 nm mode, acne on blue and red, and the file describes green as “provided for user comfort and relaxation purposes only”.
Green and yellow: CurrentBody’s own numbers say
CurrentBody built the Series 3 pitch on the 3 new colors, so I read the figures CurrentBody attaches to them. Green: pigmentation down 4.1% in 8 weeks.
Yellow: redness down 8.6% in 8 weeks, and only “in participants with higher baseline redness”.
Blue: no CurrentBody study at all, the page cites a 2006 paper.
Those are the Currentbody’s own results, on the Multi-Light Mask, at 5 sessions a week for 2 months. I still think they’re marketing, and that the money and the LED count would have done more in red and near-infrared at 50 mW/cm².
Nooance Elite X600: all proof
Nooance filed its own 510(k), K260150, with Nooance as the applicant, for the appearance of full-face wrinkles. The study is on this model, the laboratory is named, the protocol has a number, the instruments are listed, and the manual prints the IEC 62471 risk group.
Comfort: Series 3 at 4/5 · Elite X600 at 4.5/5
CurrentBody Series 3: a screen in the hand
On the face it’s exactly the Series 2: the same flexible silicone, the same strap, the same pressure on the bridge of the nose, and the same thin eye inserts that shift in their slots. What’s new is that the remote has a screen that shows the program and the time left, and I like it for choosing the preset.
The app is for building custom programs, zone by zone, and once your modes are saved you don’t need it anymore. Personally I only use red and near-infrared, so I stay on the standard preset, and the app is of no use to me at all.
Nooance Elite X600: 30 minutes a week
The three 10-minute sessions per week make the Nooance less “demanding” than the Currentbody, which requires 5 sessions per week, and the molded shell is really comfortable. The remote control has no screen: it serves as a battery and displays a countdown timer. It therefore has only two buttons: on/off and play/pause. It’s simpler and faster, and the battery life is longer, but it’s less attractive.
The eye shields are the same silicone as CurrentBody’s inserts but thicker, they click into place and don’t move, and I wear them most evenings because at full power the light tires my eyes without them.
Value: Series 3 at 2.5/5 · Elite X600 at 4/5
CurrentBody Series 3: $100 more than the Series 2 for 3 colors
At $569.99 the Series 3 sits $100 above the Series 2 and $179 below the Elite X600. For the extra $100 over the Series 2 you get 3 wavelengths, an app, a remote with a screen and 15 light points, but no changes on the LED mask itself.
Put next to the Nooance, the $179 saved buys you 175 fewer light points and no dose figure. If it’s the one you want, my code EMILIE15 gives you 10% off the Series 3 on CurrentBody’s US site.
Nooance Elite X600: $749
$749.00 is more expensive, and that price alone is what keeps this at 4 rather than 5. But for this price, you get the most robust features: 300 light points with a power output of 50 mW/cm² on an LED strip that comes into contact with the face. Nooance also provides a study on this model, a two-year warranty, and medical-grade silicone.
My code TESTEMILIE15 takes 15% off in Nooance’s shop, and Nooance runs its own promotions on top, so check my Nooance discount code page before you pay list price.
Safety & support: Series 3 at 4/5 · Elite X600 at 4.5/5
CurrentBody Series 3: 2 years of warranty
CurrentBody gives a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects and 30 days to return an unopened LED mask, both written on its US site. The manual lists the IEC 62471 photobiological standard among the ones applied, without a risk group, and the page says FDA-cleared without the number… That missing number is the point between 4 and 5.
Nooance Elite X600: a 48-hour reply
Same 2-year warranty, plus a support team that promises a reply within 48 business hours. The manual prints the IEC 62471 exempt risk group, which CurrentBody’s doesn’t, and asks you to see a doctor before use if you take photosensitizing medication or have a suspicious lesion.
Who shouldn’t buy the CurrentBody Series 3 or the Nooance Elite X600
Skip both if you recognize yourself
- You have a Series 2 or a Multi-Light Mask at home. The Series 3 is the same shell with 15 more light points.
- You’re buying for acne and want the Nooance. The Elite X600 carries red and near-infrared only, and its FDA file covers wrinkles. Blue light is the Series 3’s argument.
- You want a full face coverage but with Currentbody Currentbody’s LED mask don’t light properly the face. The Nooance does.
- You take photosensitizing medication. In this case, you should see a doctor before undergoing a red light therapy session.
Am I still using the CurrentBody Series 3 and the Nooance Elite X600?
Updated September 2026. The Nooance, yes, 3 evenings a week, and it hasn’t gone back into its bag since the test ended.
What I’d still like from CurrentBody is one number: the irradiance of the Series 3, per wavelength, with the distance it was measured at. Without it, the comparison with the Nooance is over before the test ends, and if you’re choosing today I’ve already told you which one I put on tonight. I did the same exercise with the Series 2 against the Elite X600, and the Series 3 didn’t change my answer: Nooance has a higher-quality LED mask than CurrentBody.
CurrentBody Series 3 vs Nooance Elite X600: your questions
Is the CurrentBody Series 3 better than the Nooance Elite X600?
No. The Nooance scores 92/100 with 300 light points, a published 50 mW/cm² and a study on this model. The Series 3 sits at a provisional 56/100 with 125 light points, no irradiance figure and studies run on 2 other LED masks. The Series 3 wins on price, $179 less, and on having blue light.
What did CurrentBody change between the Series 2 and the Series 3?
Blue, green and yellow join the red, near-infrared and deep near-infrared the Series 2 already had. Currentbody adds also an app to build custom programs zone by zone, and a remote with a screen. But the LED mask itself and the light points density are the Series 2’s, with about 15 more positions…
Does the Series 3 really have more LEDs than the Nooance Elite X600?
750 against 600 if you count LEDs the way the brands do. Counted as light points, the Series 3 has 125 positions that each emit 6 wavelengths, and the Nooance has 300 positions that each emit 2. The Nooance sheet is more than twice as dense, and that’s what the photos show.
Which LED mask is more powerful, the Series 3 or the Elite X600?
Nooance publishes 50 mW/cm² measured in contact with the skin. CurrentBody publishes nothing for the Series 3. The FDA file of its sister model, the Multi-Light Mask, adds up to 38 mW/cm² in the anti-aging mode, but that’s another model’s file and it gives no measurement distance.
Do I need the blue, green and yellow light of the Series 3?
CurrentBody’s own studies on the Multi-Light Mask give green a 4.1% pigmentation reduction and yellow an 8.6% redness reduction after 8 weeks, and the FDA file describes the green mode as provided for comfort and relaxation only. Blue is backed by research on inflammatory acne, but not by a CurrentBody study.

About Emilie
I have tested LED masks since 2023. I buy the devices, use them for weeks, and read the spec sheets nobody reads, because this market runs on numbers most brands never publish. Not a dermatologist, and I say so whenever a question needs one.
