Therabody is enlarging its beauty tech collection with the TheraFace Mask Glo, a more affordable LED face mask that delivers red, red plus infrared and blue-light therapy in one cordless device. The mask starts at $379.99 and addresses many common concerns, including fine lines, skin laxity and acne — with timed sessions from four to 12 minutes — and it’s available now.
The Glo is an affordable range for those who aren’t ready to hand over the big bucks for the brand’s sold-out original full-face LED mask, but would still like access to its core treatment modes thanks to separated wavelengths, and a slightly streamlined design of LEDs to broaden their appeal; think a wider pool of more budget-friendly LED-curious users.
A Lower Price, Without Stripping Core Tech
Beneath the hood, the TheraFace Mask Glo embeds 504 LEDs for three modes: red light, red plus infrared and blue. Depending on what you want to do for the day (full cycle, single wavelength), you can choose how much time you’re spending — red or red-plus-infrared for tone and firmness, blue for breakouts.
According to Therabody, regular use can result in visible results in as few as eight weeks, which dovetails with the time frames often discussed for at-home LED results. The treatment windows are purposefully brief to provide a positive adherence bias, which is a good idea when device compliance is frequently the deal maker — or breaker — with light therapy.
In contrast to the brand’s pricier flagship, the Glo swaps a facial vibration plate for a vibrating headband that delivers a scalp massage during sessions. It’s a savvy money-saving move that keeps the main therapeutic goal but jettisons any unnecessary extras.
How The Light Spectrum Works On Skin Issues
Visible red light is believed to support collagen-rich tissue in reducing the appearance of fine lines, whereas near-infrared penetrates deeper and can work on the overall health of the skin. Blue light at dermatology clinics successfully assists in controlling acne by addressing the bacteria that cause it on skin’s surface.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, LED therapy is promising for providing visible results with frequent use — and peer-reviewed studies in publications like the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy and the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology suggest modest but noticeable improvements in wrinkle severity and acne when it’s done consistently over several weeks. The takeaway here: results depend on consistency and patience, not just intensity.
At-home devices will not mimic in-office laser strength, but they can be used alongside professional care or keep the benefits going between appointments. With his-and-hers mix and match, the Glo offers patients the ability to rotate treatments and avoid juggling multiple devices.
Design and user-friendly features for daily use
Therabody embraces full-face coverage with a mask that is one piece and has cutouts for the eyes, but no openings for the nose or mouth — a design believed to enable even light delivery across the cheeks, jawline and forehead.
The fit-and-forget ethos is enhanced with a cord-free design — there’s no dangling controller, just a side button to power on and mode-swap.
The head strap that vibrates is a nice hint of health that doesn’t affect the ease of operation. For some, the less friction, the greater the adherence. For hygiene reasons, smooth surfaces would hopefully make post-session wipe-downs easy — an undervalued consideration when a product is for regular use.
Competitive landscape and value in the LED mask market
At $379.99, the TheraFace Mask Glo is squarely in the middle of the at-home LED category, competitively priced with popular options like CurrentBody’s face mask and lower in cost than ultra-premium models including Dr Dennis Gross’ DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro.
The tightrope walk is obvious: keep the credible light output and coverage, then trim extras to hit a friendlier price.
Demand for beauty tech stayed strong. Market trackers like Circana report double-digit gains for at-home devices over the last year, in categories that promise visible results without the office visit. Within that framework, Therabody’s move goes beyond percussive therapy into a larger ambition to be more of a broader skin-first portfolio.
What to expect and best practices for safe, steady use
For the average person, a useful regimen is four to 12 minutes in the chamber, multiple times per week, for at least eight weeks. Being consistent is more important than increasing the intensity. Combine LED use with daily sunscreen and a straightforward routine that centers on moisturizers and gentle actives; for sensitive skin, forgo photosensitizing products on the days you treat.
As with any light-emitting device, those who are photosensitive or light-sensitive should consult a dermatologist prior to using it. Clean skin before every treatment, don’t look directly into the LEDs with your eyes open, and ensure the mask stays clean to avoid product buildup that can scatter light.
The Glo comes with updated recovery devices for a hint of a wider refresh across Therabody’s ecosystem — Theragun Mini Plus, Theragun Sense (2nd Gen) and the Theragun Prime (6th Gen). For cost- and schedule-minded consumers that need a trusted option to get into skin tech, the TheraFace Mask Glo is an efficient, well-timed entry.
