Nooance sells several LED masks in the US, and I have worn 4 of them:
- the Elite X600 I tested for 12 weeks and still use,
- the Aurion X252 I tested for 8 weeks,
- the Professional I started with in July 2024,
- and the X200 eye mask.
So here is my review of the whole Nooance LED masks range with the one I’d buy at each budget.
All Nooance LED masks compared

| My score | 92/100, Emilie Approved | 84/100, Emilie Approved | 60/100, not approved | 66/100, Emilie approved | 61/100, not approved |
Visually, these are very different masks. However, in terms of technical specifications, they share similar, high-quality specifications: irradiance of 50 or 45 mW/cm² with red and infrared wavelengths.
What differs between the Nooance LED masks is the shape of the mask and its light density, which leads to less or more weekly sessions, and deeper or lighter results on the skin.
Nooance uses only dual-core medical-grade LEDs, so 600 LEDs correspond to 300 light points on the skin (which is a very high number).
The design of the mask is also important: a flat sheet sits a few millimetres from the nose and jaw, a rigid shell sits closer, whilst a moulded silicone mask is in contact with the skin across its entire surface.
So… which Nooance LED mask should you buy?
Buy the Elite X600 if you want the densest LED mask Nooance makes and the only one that reaches the jawline and under the chin. It’s the one I wear, it has the highest score on Tested By Emilie, and at $749 it’s also the most expensive. If the budget is there, I don’t see a reason to look at the other 4.
Buy the Aurion X252 if you want a good LED mask for $449. You get the same 2 wavelengths at 45 mW/cm² instead of 50, 126 points instead of 300, and a rigid shell that leaves the crow’s feet and the underside of the chin not properly covered. For that low price, it’s one of the best LED masks I have tested.
Buy the LED Eye Mask X200 if you’re under 30 and you only care about the eye area. At $279 it’s the cheapest you can get, but it stops at the upper cheekbones, so it can’t be your only device if you want the rest of the face covered.
Skip The Professional. At $649 it costs $100 less than the Elite X600 for less than half the light points on a flat sheet, and $200 more than the Aurion X252 for the same number of points. It was a good LED mask back in 2024, but today, it has been overtaken by more recent models.
The Multi-Function mask is a different product, a flat sheet you move from the face to the neck or the chest, so I do not recommend it for face red light therapy.
So the 2 Nooance LED masks I recommend are the Aurion X252 and the Elite X600, and since the choice between them is really a question of $300, I compared the Aurion X252 and the Elite X600 criterion by criterion after testing both, to help you decide.
Who is Nooance?
Nooance is a Paris brand that sells skincare and LED masks, and what sets it apart from most LED mask brands is how much it puts in writing:
- every LED mask has its wavelengths in nm with a ±2 nm tolerance,
- a published irradiance, with high values,
- medical-grade LED,
- and each LED mask has its own clinical study run by GREDECO, a French dermatology lab.
Nooance also filed the FDA paperwork itself: the 510(k) letter is addressed to Nooance, and not to the factory as many other brands do. Overall, Nooance shares the main criterion I look at when assessing LED masks.
Nooance has a 4.7 out of 5 on Trustpilot, from +2 700, and the complaint I see come back is the price, with one US buyer pointing out that $599 in the US and £599 in the UK are not the same deal.
On price, my code TESTEMILIE15 takes 15% off any order on Nooance US store, sale prices included, and I explain where it comes from and how it stacks on my Nooance discount code page.
Nooance Elite X600: the LED mask I still wear
The Elite X600 is a molded silicone LED mask with 300 dual-core points (600 LEDs), and the molding is indeed a key feature: the LED array sit on the skin along the jawline, under the chin, on the sides of the nose and around the eyes, where a flat or rigid mask leaves a gap. Don’t underestimate this gap: every millimeter of air between the LEDs and the skin results in a loss of light output.
Nooance publishes an irradiance (light power) of 50 mW/cm² and, unlike most brands, says the measurement condition which is in direct contact with the skin.
In my review article, I ran a test of 36 sessions over 12 weeks, and my before/after pictures show my skin tone and the pores being improved. Wrinkles are not something I can judge at my age, so for those I rely on the GREDECO study Nooance ran on this exact model with good results.
I scored it 92/100, the highest on this site as of now, and everything behind that number is in my full review of the Nooance Elite X600. It lists at $749 on Nooance’s US store, where my code takes 15% off.
Nooance Aurion X252: the value pick
The Aurion X252, which Nooance used to call the Access+, is a rigid, thin shell LED mask, with 126 dual-core points for 252 LEDs and a 45 mW/cm² irradiance. I usually don’t recommend rigid LED masks as they are often setting the LED array far from the skin, and feel heavy on the head. Here, Aurion X252 weight around 250g (vs +600g for Shark Cryoglow for example), and it feels close to the skin.
I used it 4 times a week for 8 weeks, wearing eye protection every time. My skin hasn’t changed, it has maintained the results I achieved after using the X600, so that’s quite positive. However, the Aurion X252 does not treat crow’s feet 100% effectively, as they are exposed to light from a neighbouring LED rather than being in direct contact with it.
Nooance has also conducted a clinical study on the X252, and has once again reported good results based on measurements taken using specialist equipment. I gave it a score of 84 out of 100, and my review of the Nooance Aurion X252 explains everything in detail. At $449, it’s a very good option for those on a budget.
Nooance The Professional: outdated one
The Professional was one of my first LED masks, back in 2024. It’s a flat sheet of flexible silicone with 254 LEDs, so 127 points (similar to the Aurion X252). Back at that time, it was one of the best LED masks thanks to the LED set at the sensitive areas: crow’s feet, smoker’s line, nose… And its irradiance was already at 50 mW/cm².
At $649, the math doesn’t work anymore: the Elite X600 gives you 300 points on a molded shell for $100 more, and the Aurion X252 gives you the same 126 points for $200 less. I don’t recommend the professional anymore, considering other Nooance LED masks are better.
Nooance LED Eye Mask X200: half a mask, on purpose
The X200 (my review of the X200) covers the strip from the lower forehead to the upper cheekbones, with 100 dual-core points for 200 LEDs. There’s no remote, the battery is built in, a side button starts the 10-minute session. It has the same irradiance of 50 mW/cm² for 3 sessions of 10 minutes a week. It is clearly a convenient LED mask, the easier one I ever tested.
I wore it for a few days to assess its comfort, and I reuse it time to time, but not on a regular basis. I already own a full-face LED mask that covers the same area and everything below it. It makes sense for someone under 30 who wants to start on the eye area only, or for travel, since it weighs almost nothing.
What the FDA file says about Nooance LED masks
Nooance holds one 510(k), K260150, for an over-the-counter LED mask intended to emit red and near-infrared energy for full-face wrinkles. What makes this file useful is that it covers 5 model numbers, and the summary gives the irradiance and the battery of each one.
| Model in K260150 | Which Nooance LED mask | Red + near-infrared | Battery |
|---|---|---|---|
| MJ-66C | Elite X600 | 35 + 15 mW/cm² | 5,200 mAh |
| MJ-66DB | Aurion X252 | 30 + 15 mW/cm² | 1,200 mAh |
| MK-99A | The Professional, 254 LEDs | 35 + 15 mW/cm² | 3,700 mAh |
| MK-99 | The Professional, original 198 LEDs | 15 + 15 mW/cm² | 3,600 mAh |
| MK-99M | Multi-Function | 35 + 15 mW/cm² | 5,200 mAh |
Who shouldn’t buy a Nooance LED mask
Skip the whole range if you recognize yourself
- You’re buying for acne. All 5 Nooance LED masks run 633 nm and 830 nm only, with no blue light.
- You won’t hold 3 sessions a week for a full quarter. But red light therapy requires overall consistency for results.
- You’re pregnant. Nooance’s own pages recommend consulting your doctor in that case.
Am I still using my Nooance LED masks?
Updated November 2026. The Elite X600 is the LED mask on my face every week. Still, Aurion X252 can be a cheaper alternative that may interests you.
The X600 also heads my ranking of the best LED face masks, with the X252 right behind it, which says something about the brand as much as about the masks.
Nooance LED masks: your questions
Which Nooance LED mask is the best?
The Elite X600, which I scored 92/100 after 12 weeks: 300 points on a molded shell that reaches the jaw and the chin. If $749 is too much, the Aurion X252 at $449 scored 84/100 and treats the full face with 126 points.
Are Nooance LED masks FDA cleared?
The Elite X600, the Aurion X252, the Multi-Function and The Professional are, under 510(k) K260150, cleared on April 22, 2026, for full-face wrinkles. I found no 510(k) for the LED Eye Mask X200. FDA cleared is not FDA approved.
What is the difference between the Aurion X252 and the Elite X600?
126 points against 300, a rigid shell against molded silicone that follows the face, 45 mW/cm² against 50, a battery in the forehead against one in the remote, and $300. I tested both for 8 and 12 weeks and compared them line by line.
Is The Nooance Professional LED Mask still worth buying?
Not at $649. It’s a flat sheet with 127 points, the same count as the Aurion X252 that costs $200 less, and the Elite X600 gives you 300 points on a molded shell for $100 more. I used one in July 2024 and it did its job, but the range has moved on.
Does the code TESTEMILIE15 work on every Nooance LED mask?
Yes, it takes 15% off any order on Nooance’s US store, sale prices included, with no minimum and no end date. The details and the step by step are on my Nooance discount code page.

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.
