Wavelengths and density
HigherDOSE uses 630 nm and 830 nm from 66 dual-core LEDs, and publishes that count.
JOVS assigns 660 nm around the eyes, 850 nm on the forehead, 940 nm on redness-prone areas, and 1064 nm around the mouth, per its product copy. It does not publish an emitter count or per-band share, so density cannot be ranked; JOVS wins on range only.
Edge: JOVS on range. HigherDOSE on disclosure.
Power and Irradiance: Measured by Independent Third Parties
Neither brand publishes a third-party spectrometer reading for these masks, and none is estimated here.
Brand claims, kept separate: HigherDOSE states 50 mW/cm² total without naming the method. JOVS markets the 4D mask as more powerful than LED masks without a mW/cm² figure. Neither is ranked.
Edge: No power winner.
FDA wording
HigherDOSE: openFDA lists K241933, HIGHERDOSE Red and Infrared Light Mask (MK66-L), Shenzhen Kaiyan Medical Equipment, decided 27 Sep 2024. That matches the Red Light Face Mask by name.
JOVS: openFDA lists K240360, Wrinkle Treatment Device (JM2), Shenzhen Qianyu Technology, decided 5 Apr 2024, which matches the 4D Laser Mask. JOVS copy says “FDA-approved”; the accurate term for a 510(k) is cleared.
Edge: Even. Both masks match a 510(k).
Live prices, 28 October 2026
