TheraFace Mask Glo: very good, 8.5/10
The TheraFace Mask Glo is Therabody's cheaper mask, and the one most people should look at first. It packs 504 LEDs (633 nm red, 830 nm infrared, 415 nm blue), runs cordless for a 12-minute routine, adds a gentle vibration massage for the scalp, and comes with a protective eye shield. Therabody says it is FDA cleared and backs it with a 12-week study of 104 people. At $379.99 on November 12, 2026 it scores 8.5. The catch: a one-year warranty, 30-day returns and a rigid shell.
Buy it if
- You want blue light too, without a cable
- You like the massage part: it makes the session something to look forward to
- You want a big LED count for the price
Skip it if
- You want a soft silicone mask
- You want the shortest possible session (Solawave, Qure and the FaceWare Pro take three minutes)
504 LEDs and a massage
Therabody comes from massage guns, and it shows: the Mask Glo is the only mask on our list under $400 with a vibration massage, a gentle band that works on the scalp while the LEDs work on your face. Therabody pitches it as relieving tension; it is a comfort feature, and a nice one at the end of a day.
The light side is serious: 504 LEDs mixing 633 nm red (for fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots, per Therabody), 830 nm infrared (for firmness and deeper wrinkles) and 415 nm blue (for acne-causing bacteria). That is the most LEDs of any mask on our list under $450.
The study behind it
Therabody says the Mask Glo is "backed by the largest clinical study of any LED mask on the market": 12 weeks, 104 subjects, one pre-programmed 12-minute session a day. It reports that 80% of participants saw improvements in fine lines. We can't check the study's design from the product page, and "largest" is Therabody's claim, but 104 people over three months is more than most brands cite.
Therabody also calls it FDA cleared and "dermatologist approved". The page doesn't give the 510(k) number.

Living with it
The Mask Glo is cordless: the battery runs 60 minutes, which is five full routines with vibration, and charges by USB-C. That means you can wear it anywhere in the house. It is a rigid shell in PC, ABS and TPU with silicone shields, 514 g. Rigid masks keep their shape and are easy to clean; they just sit a little further from the skin around the jaw than silicone ones.
Therabody gives 30 days to return it and a one-year limited warranty, which is the short end of our list. The bigger TheraFace Mask ($649.99) has more LEDs and longer battery life; we explain the difference in TheraFace Mask vs Mask Glo.
What's in the box
Per Therabody: the TheraFace Mask Glo, a protective eye shield and a USB-C charging cable.
Therabody's own list: TheraFace Mask Glo, protective eye shield, USB-C charging cable (Therabody).
Setting it up and your first session
Charge it by USB-C, put on the eye shield, place the mask and adjust the straps, start the pre-programmed 12-minute routine with or without vibration. Therabody's study used one session a day.
On eye safety, Therabody's page says: Protective eye shield in the box (Therabody).
What it really costs
Nothing required. Therabody sells a travel case ($79.99) for the TheraFace Mask. HSA/FSA accepted.
Spread over two years at four sessions a week, $379.99 comes to about $0.91/session. 30-day returns (Therabody).
What we like, and what to know
- 504 LEDs: red (633 nm), infrared (830 nm) and blue (415 nm)
- Cordless, 60 minutes of battery per charge
- Vibration scalp massage built in
- Protective eye shield in the box
- $379.99, HSA/FSA accepted
The catch: One year of warranty and 30 days to return it, and the 12-minute routine is longer than most rivals. The shell is rigid plastic, about 514 g.
