The wrinkle research is the strongest evidence base in this whole category, and it rests on particular wavelengths. Wunsch and Matuschka's controlled trial of 136 volunteers measured real increases in intradermal collagen density using red light in this range, so a mask built on those wavelengths is doing the thing that was studied.

66 dual-core LEDs give 132 emitting diodes. Read the 50 mW/cm2 as a combined figure, since each wavelength on its own is in the mid-twenties.
Registered is not cleared. BON CHARGE lists this as an FDA registered device and carries the standard no-disease disclaimer, so treat the marketing more cautiously than with the cleared masks.
The acne sibling of the Contour Face. Buy it for breakouts, not for lines, because there is no near-infrared in this one at all.
Essentially a Contour Face with a third wavelength added. The 1072nm claim is interesting but Omnilux has not released mask-specific clinical data for it.
Fewer LEDs than the face masks because the panel is smaller, not because it is weaker. Only worth it if the neck is genuinely a concern for you.
A genuinely affordable entry point, but be realistic: 14 LEDs on a wand delivers a fraction of the dose a 130 to 236 LED mask does.
A 2010s-era device that keeps selling on warranty and clinical pedigree rather than specs. Fine for targeted work, slow if you want whole-face coverage.
Shark's own spec sheet lists blue as 630nm, which is a typo, an independent LED device designer measured it at 415nm. Peak draw is 35W with 16.92W in normal operation.
