Just Launched: Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo Brings 504 LEDs and a 12-Minute Protocol
Therabody — best known for percussive therapy devices — continues its push into beauty tech with the TheraFace Mask Glo, which expanded into the Indian market this week at Rs 34,999 (approximately £330). While the device first appeared globally in late 2025, the India launch surfaced fresh technical detail worth noting for anyone tracking the LED mask category.
What launched
The TheraFace Mask Glo is Therabody's second LED mask, positioned as a more accessible entry point beneath the original (and pricier) TheraFace Mask. It's a flexible, cordless silicone mask that sits directly on the face — no rigid shell, no external controller to tether you to a power outlet.
Key specs:
- 504 LEDs — split across red (633nm) and infrared (830nm) wavelengths
- 12-minute treatment protocol — shorter than the industry-standard 15–20 minutes
- Cordless — internal battery with USB-C charging
- Weight — roughly 290g, making it one of the lighter masks in the category
- Three treatment modes — red light only, red + infrared, and infrared only
How it compares
At 504 diodes, the Glo sits above the 100–240 range common in entry-level masks, though below the 600+ diode counts found in clinical-grade competitors. The dual-wavelength approach (633nm red for collagen stimulation, 830nm near-infrared for deeper tissue penetration) is standard for the category — but the 12-minute treatment time is notably efficient. Most masks require 15–20 minutes per session, so shaving 3–8 minutes off each treatment lowers the friction for daily compliance.
The silicone construction is a differentiator from rigid-shell masks like CurrentBody Series 2 or Omnilux. It moulds to the face rather than hovering over it, which in theory improves light-to-skin contact — though the trade-off is that some users find flexible masks sit heavier on the nose bridge.
Therabody is pricing the Glo at $379.99 / £349, placing it in the mid-premium tier. It undercuts the Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro (£455) and Therabody's own original TheraFace Mask, while sitting above the budget-to-mid options now flooding Amazon.
Also notable: Shark CryoGlow targets the under-eye
Shark Beauty extended its CryoGlow line with an Under Eye Cooling + LED Mask, combining 16 red LEDs with a cooling plate that drops to 16°C. It's a targeted treatment rather than a full-face device — designed specifically for periorbital concerns like fine lines and puffiness. Shark's broader CryoGlow full-face mask (£299.99) has been generating substantial review coverage through June 2026, with the under-eye variant offering a lower-commitment entry into the brand's ecosystem.
Why it matters
Therabody entering the mid-tier LED space with a sub-£350 mask signals category maturation. When a brand built on sports recovery science prices a 504-diode, dual-wavelength mask at this level, it puts pressure on incumbents to justify their premiums. For consumers, it means the gap between "budget" and "premium" LED masks continues to narrow — good news if you're researching your first device, and a reason to pay close attention to spec sheets rather than brand names alone.
