LED light therapy has quickly become one of the most in-demand treatments in aesthetic clinics. From anti-aging facials to acne management, it’s versatile, non-invasive, and backed by clinical research.
For professionals, however, one of the most common questions when investing in LED technology is: Should I choose a professional LED face mask or an LED panel?
While both formats use the same science, their effectiveness, treatment flexibility, and return on investment (ROI) differ significantly. We explores the pros and cons of LED masks vs panels to help clinics make the best choice.
Professional LED Face Masks
What They Are: Devices that fit over the face, delivering LED wavelengths directly to the skin like our Lumiderma or Illumination Mask.
Pros
-
Compact and portable
-
Cost-effective entry point for clinics
-
Targeted for facial treatments
Cons
-
Limited coverage (face only although our devices have neck attachments as well)
-
May feel restrictive to clients
- Longer treatment times (usually 20 minutes)
Professional LED Panels
What They Are: Larger devices (like the Neo Elegance Lumineo) that deliver LED light across the face, neck, and other areas of the body.
Pros
-
Wider treatment coverage
-
Higher power output for clinical results
-
Multiple wavelengths (suitable for acne, rosacea, anti-aging, and post-treatment healing)
- Comfortable Client Experience – Clients relax under the panel rather than wearing a restrictive mask.
-
More versatile for integrating with facials, peels, and microneedling
Cons
-
Larger investment compared to masks
-
Some larger devices require dedicated treatment space (though the Lumineo folds away for easy storage)
ROI: Which Offers Better Returns for Clinics?
While face masks have a lower upfront cost, LED panels deliver a far stronger ROI for professional settings:
-
Treatment Pricing:
-
LED Mask session: £25–£35 (limited scope)
-
LED Panel session: £35–£45 (premium, full coverage)
-
-
Treatment Versatility:
-
Masks: Standalone facials only.
-
Panels: Standalone, add-on to premium facials, post-treatment healing packages, can be used straight after injectables, used for body treatments
-
-
Profitability:
-
Most clinics recoup the cost of a panel in 1-3 months through frequent bookings.
-
Which Should a Clinic Choose?
For most professional environments, LED panels offer the best value and versatility. While masks are useful for express treatments or smaller clinics, panels provide:
-
Faster client results
-
Higher revenue potential
-
More treatment flexibility
