TheraFace Mask: good, 8.1/10
The TheraFace Mask is Therabody's flagship, and it is generous: 648 LEDs (633 nm red, 830 nm infrared, 415 nm blue), cordless, programs of 3 to 9 minutes, a vibration massage, removable eye shields, a display stand and 120 minutes of battery. Therabody calls it a "breakthrough FDA cleared LED skincare mask". At $649.99 on November 12, 2026 it scores 8.1. The catch: you pay $270 more than the Mask Glo for 144 more LEDs and a longer battery, with the same one-year warranty.
Buy it if
- You want lots of light in short sessions
- You love the massage idea
- You want it to look good on a shelf: it comes with a stand
Skip it if
- You are price-sensitive: the Mask Glo does the same job for $379.99
- You want a soft silicone fit
More LEDs, shorter programs
The TheraFace Mask has 648 LED lights covering the full face, which Therabody contrasts with the 132 to 480 of "competitor" masks. They come in three colors: 633 nm red for fine lines and dark spots, red plus 830 nm infrared for firmness and deeper wrinkles, and 415 nm blue for acne-causing bacteria, per Therabody.
Programs run from 3 to 9 minutes; Therabody's study used a 9-minute program once a day for 12 weeks with 31 people, and reports that 77% saw improvements in the appearance and depth of wrinkles. Thirty-one people is a small study, and it is Therabody's own; the direction matches what the AAD describes for red LEDs.
Massage, battery, stand
Like the Mask Glo, it adds VibraWave™ vibration, here for the face and scalp. It's cordless, weighs 576 g according to Therabody's comparison chart, and the battery lasts 120 minutes, twice the Mask Glo's. A display stand and removable silicone eye shields come in the box.
It's a rigid shell, in two pieces visually, with eye openings. Rigid masks are easy to clean and hold their shape over time; they don't hug the jaw like silicone.

Worth $270 more than the Glo?
On November 12, 2026, the TheraFace Mask cost $649.99 and the Mask Glo $379.99. Both have one-year warranties and 30-day returns. For the extra $270 you get 144 more LEDs, shorter programs (up to 9 minutes vs 12), twice the battery and a stand.
For most people, that isn't worth it, and our formula agrees: the Mask Glo scores 8.5, the TheraFace Mask 8.1. If you want Therabody's massage and blue light and you are not counting, the bigger mask is lovely. If you are counting, start with the Mask Glo.
What's in the box
Per Therabody: the TheraFace Mask, removable protective eye shields, a display stand and a USB-C cable.
Setting it up and your first session
Charge by USB-C (120 minutes of battery), attach the eye shields, put the mask on, choose a 3- to 9-minute program with or without vibration. Therabody's study used one 9-minute program a day.
On eye safety, Therabody's page says: Removable protective eye shields in the box (Therabody).
What it really costs
Nothing required. A travel case is $79.99. Therabody also sells refurbished TheraFace Masks ($449 on November 12, 2026), a cheaper way in.
Spread over two years at four sessions a week, $649.99 comes to about $1.56/session. 30-day returns (Therabody).
What we like, and what to know
- 648 LEDs, the most on our list after the CurrentBody Series 3
- Red, infrared and blue light
- Short programs: 3 to 9 minutes
- Cordless, 120 minutes of battery
- Removable eye shields and a display stand
The catch: At $649.99 it is the second most expensive mask here, with a one-year warranty and 30-day returns. Therabody's cheaper Mask Glo has the same three colors.
