Cloakla vs CurrentBody Skin LED Face Mask: 2026 Comparison
CurrentBody Skin LED Face Mask is one of the original at-home red light therapy masks and the device most often referenced in dermatology press. Cloakla is the newer-generation entrant — wider wavelength spectrum, lower price, plus a face + neck variant CurrentBody doesn't ship as a single SKU. Here's how they actually compare.
The 30-second answer
- Pick Cloakla K11 if you want more wavelengths (7 vs 2), a built-in neck panel option, and a significantly lower price.
- Pick CurrentBody Skin if you specifically want the device with the longest mainstream press track record.

Where Cloakla is ahead
5 more wavelengths
CurrentBody Skin uses 633 nm red + 830 nm near-infrared — the workhorse pair for anti-aging. Cloakla K11 adds 660 nm deep red, 850 nm deep NIR, 590 nm amber, 415 nm blue, and 520 nm green. If you have concerns beyond fine lines (acne, pigmentation, redness, melasma), CurrentBody Skin doesn't address them.
~60% lower price
K11 Face starts at $139.99 vs CurrentBody Skin at roughly $395 — for more LEDs and more wavelengths. K11 Face + Neck at $199.99 is roughly half the price of CurrentBody Skin's face-only device.
120-day return vs 30
LED results take 4–8 weeks to fully manifest. Cloakla's 120-day return window matches the timeline; 30 days does not.
Face + neck in one purchase
To treat both face and neck with CurrentBody, you need their face mask + their Neck & Dec device — two devices, two purchases, two chargers. Cloakla K11 Face + Neck ships as one product with one controller.
Where CurrentBody Skin has an edge
Mainstream press track record
CurrentBody Skin has been featured in Vogue, ELLE, Allure, and HARPER'S BAZAAR for several years. If brand recognition matters and you'd cite the device by name in conversation, CurrentBody has more household awareness in the LED mask category.
Broader dermatologist endorsement footprint
Because it launched earlier and at a higher price, it's the device some dermatology clinics demo and recommend. Cloakla is catching up in the medical channel but started later.
