| Coverage area | Hale FACE mask for face; RLPRO panels for body areas | Flexible face mask; 190L x 98W x 207H mm published dimensions | CurrentBody is a facial device, not a body panel. |
| LED count | Hale FACE: 236 LEDs; RLPRO 1000: 720 LEDs | 110 red, 110 near-infrared, 16 deep near-infrared LEDs | CurrentBody's published count totals 236 LEDs, matching Hale FACE count but with different wavelengths. |
| Certifications (Health Canada, FDA) | RLPRO 1200/2000: Health Canada Class II MDL #111226; FDA-listed (FDA-registered mfr, reg #3015287734) | FDA Cleared badge; UKCA registered in specifications | Hale's Health Canada licence applies to RLPRO 1200/2000, not Hale FACE. |
| Warranty | RLPRO panels: 3 years | Two-year warranty on CurrentBody Canada page snippets and user-guide language | Different product classes; confirm regional warranty at checkout. |
| Price | Hale FACE: $549 CAD; RLPRO 1000: $3,900 CAD | CurrentBody Canada page showed Series 2 product price data from $639.99 CAD | CurrentBody is costlier than Hale FACE on checked Canadian Series 2 page data; bundles can change displayed price. |

Wavelength and Irradiance Comparison
Hale vs CurrentBody is one of the more direct face-device comparisons because both Hale FACE and CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask Series 2 are mask-style products. CurrentBody publishes a three-wavelength setup: 633 nm red, 830 nm near-infrared, and 1072 nm deep near-infrared. It also publishes a detailed LED count: 110 red, 110 near-infrared, and 16 deep near-infrared LEDs. That totals 236 LEDs.
Hale FACE also uses 236 LEDs, but the published wavelength set is different: 460, 665, 850, and 1064 nm. That gives Hale FACE a blue-light component for acne-oriented routines plus red and near-infrared coverage. CurrentBody's Series 2 has no blue wavelength in the sourced red-light mask specification; it focuses on red, near-infrared, and deep near-infrared anti-aging coverage.
For body or clinic use, Hale RLPRO is the relevant step up. RLPRO panels publish eight wavelengths: 630, 650, 660, 670, 810, 830, 850, and 1060 nm. CurrentBody's mask is not intended to compete with a full-body panel. It is designed for the face. If the buyer wants facial skin support, compare Hale FACE and CurrentBody. If the buyer wants muscle recovery, joint areas, or clinic coverage, compare CurrentBody against a panel only to explain why a face mask is not the same category.
CurrentBody deserves credit for publishing power density: 30 mW/cm2. Hale FACE publishes supplier-documented irradiance of 35 mW/cm2 at 6 inches. Those mask figures should be compared only when the measurement distance, surface, and test method match. RLPRO panel output remains a separate product-class measurement and should not be used to inflate the FACE comparison.
Huang et al.'s 2009 review on PBM dose response is relevant because the face-mask category often markets outcomes without giving buyers enough dose context [PMID:20011653]. CurrentBody does publish more dose-relevant data than most masks, but buyers should still follow the product's treatment time and avoid assuming that higher panel irradiance is always better for facial skin.
Certifications and Regulatory Status
CurrentBody's page prominently displays FDA Cleared messaging and lists UKCA registered in the specifications. That is meaningful for a facial LED mask buyer. It indicates the product is positioned with a regulatory and compliance story, not just influencer skincare copy.
Hale's strongest regulatory differentiator is Health Canada Class II Medical Device Licence #111226 for RLPRO 1200 and RLPRO 2000. That matters for Canadian panel buyers, clinics, and professional environments. It should not be overstated for Hale FACE: the verified facts support published FACE wavelengths and LED count, not Health Canada Class II status.
The regulatory conclusion depends on use case. For a face-mask-only buyer, CurrentBody has a strong FDA-cleared facial mask position. For a Canadian clinic or full-body panel buyer, Hale's Health Canada licensed RLPRO 1200/2000 status is the more relevant credential.
Pricing, Warranty, and Price-per-mW
Hale FACE is $549 CAD. The checked CurrentBody Canada Series 2 page exposed product price data from $639.99 CAD, with higher-priced variants and bundles also possible. Because CurrentBody runs bundles and regional pricing, the exact checkout price may vary. On the checked Canadian Series 2 page data, Hale FACE is the lower listed facial-device price.
CurrentBody publishes a two-year warranty in Canadian page snippets and user-guide language. Hale FACE carries a 1-year warranty, while Hale RLPRO panels carry a 3-year warranty. For buyers comparing face masks, confirm the warranty term in the regional checkout and support pages before purchase.
CurrentBody publishes 30 mW/cm2 power density. Supplier documentation lists Hale FACE at 35 mW/cm2 at 6 inches. Those figures should not be treated as directly comparable unless the measurement distance, surface, and test method match.
Build Quality and Support
CurrentBody's flexible silicone mask is built for consumer skincare convenience. It includes facial coverage, a controller, and a short treatment routine. The Series 2 specification is unusually complete for a beauty mask: wavelengths, LED count, dimensions, certification entry, and power density are all published.
Hale FACE competes more directly with CurrentBody at the face-mask level, while RLPRO is a separate larger investment. Hale's broader ecosystem may appeal to buyers who want one brand for facial and body treatment. CurrentBody may be a better fit for someone who only wants a polished facial mask and does not care about body panels.
Evidence Limits and Buyer Questions
CurrentBody publishes more useful mask specifications than most facial competitors, but the comparison still has limits. CurrentBody publishes 30 mW/cm2; Hale FACE publishes 35 mW/cm2 at 6 inches. The numerical difference alone does not prove a higher delivered facial dose unless both brands use the same measurement surface, distance, and test method.
Buyers should ask CurrentBody how its 30 mW/cm2 was measured and compare that methodology with Hale FACE's 6-inch figure. They should also ask whether all wavelengths run simultaneously and whether 1072 nm output is included in the stated power density. Those details affect any dose calculation and can change how a 10-minute facial routine should be interpreted.
The practical comparison is still useful. CurrentBody is a strong facial mask with published power density and a refined consumer product experience. Hale FACE is less expensive on checked CAD pricing and includes a different wavelength mix, including blue. Hale RLPRO is a separate body-panel choice. Buyers should decide which of those three jobs they are actually hiring the device to do.
Use Case Recommendation
Choose CurrentBody if your priority is a well-known facial LED mask with published 633, 830, and 1072 nm wavelengths, 236 LEDs, 30 mW/cm2 power density, and FDA-cleared positioning. It is a strong facial skincare device and the comparison should acknowledge that.
Choose Hale FACE if you want a lower checked CAD price, a different four-wavelength facial mix including blue light, and the same published 236-LED count. Choose Hale RLPRO if you are buying for body coverage, practitioner use, or Health Canada Class II licensed panel deployment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Hale or CurrentBody better for facial anti-aging?
CurrentBody has a strong facial anti-aging spec sheet, including 633, 830, and 1072 nm plus published power density. Hale FACE may be better if you also want a blue-light mode and a lower checked CAD entry price.
Do Hale FACE and CurrentBody have the same LED count?
Based on the checked specs, yes: Hale FACE has 236 LEDs, and CurrentBody publishes 110 red, 110 near-infrared, and 16 deep near-infrared LEDs, totaling 236.
Does CurrentBody ship to Canada?
Yes, CurrentBody has a Canadian product page at currentbody.ca. Buyers should still confirm final shipping, taxes, warranty handling, and return rules at checkout.
What FDA wording does CurrentBody publish?
The checked page uses FDA Cleared messaging. Buyers should use the wording the manufacturer publishes when comparing device claims.
Is Hale better for body recovery?
Yes. CurrentBody's product is a face mask. Hale RLPRO panels are the appropriate Hale products for large-area body treatment and recovery workflows.
