Where this page stands today: there are no Black Friday deals yet, so this page lists none. What it does have is the thing that makes a November discount checkable — the regular price of every major red light mask, recorded on 11 September 2026, straight from each brand’s own store. When the sales start, “30% off” only means something if somebody wrote down what it cost before. We wrote it down.
Why a deals page needs a baseline more than it needs deals
Every Black Friday roundup in this category has the same problem: it tells you a mask is discounted without telling you what it cost in October. Some brands in this market run a “sale” price all year — one of the masks in the table below has been listed at $399 against a $499 list price for months. A November banner taking another slice off that list price is not a discount; it is the same price with more urgency attached.
So the useful thing to publish in September is not a prediction. It is a record. Below is what each device actually cost on 11 September 2026, read from the brand’s own store rather than a marketplace listing, alongside the spec that decides whether the device is worth buying at any price.
Verified deals
Last checked: 11 September 2026 — no verified deals. Black Friday 2026 falls on 27 November. Red light mask discounts in this category typically appear in the week before and run through Cyber Monday, with some brands starting in mid-November. We will list a deal here only once we have loaded the discounted price on the brand’s own store ourselves, and we will show it next to the September baseline so you can see what actually changed. Until then this section stays empty on purpose.
If you would rather not check back, we will email you once when this page has verified deals on it. One email, no sequence.
The September 2026 baseline: what these masks actually cost
All figures read from each brand’s own store on 11 September 2026. We have deliberately left marketplace listings out of this table — they move weekly and often depend on an on-page coupon, which makes them useless as a baseline.
| Mask | Price, 11 Sep 2026 | Published irradiance | Returns | Worth a discount? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Solawave Wrinkle Retreat Pro | $399 (list $499) | 65 mW/cm² + 11.7 J/cm² per 3-min session | 60 days | Yes. The only brand publishing irradiance, a per-session dose and the session length that produces it — and the three are internally consistent. Note it already sits below its own list price. |
| HigherDOSE Red Light Face Mask | $349 | 50 mW/cm² total (26 red / 24 NIR) | 120 days | Yes. Publishes per-wavelength irradiance, and the longest return window in the category by a distance — which matters when the trials run 16 weeks. |
| BON CHARGE Red Light Face Mask | $349 | 40.8 mW/cm² | 30 days | Yes, with a caveat. Publishes irradiance. But it advertises “FDA Registered,” which is a database listing and not a clearance — see what those terms legally mean. |
| Omnilux Contour Face | $395 | ~30 mW/cm² | 30 days | Yes. Publishes irradiance, though it is the lowest figure of the four that do — at nearly the highest price of the four. |
| Shark CryoGlow | $379.99 | Not published | Not published | Can’t say. We could not read the brand’s product pages on the date checked, so we have no specs and no return terms. A discount on an unknown quantity is still an unknown quantity. |
| Qure Q-Rejuvalight Pro | $399 | Not published | 30 days | Only on the paperwork. The one brand in our survey publishing a K-number you can look up (K230042) — and it still does not publish irradiance. |
| Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro | $455 | Not published | 30 days | Weak case. No irradiance at $455. Its site navigation also uses the phrase “FDA-Approved,” which no LED face mask is. |
| CurrentBody LED Mask Series 3 | $569.99 | Not published | 30 days | Weak case. Markets 750 LEDs and a proprietary testing programme, publishes no irradiance. More diodes over the same face is not more light per square centimetre. |
| Therabody TheraFace Mask | $649.99 | Not published | 30 days | Weakest case in the table. The most expensive device here, and it publishes nothing you can calculate a dose from. |
Nine masks. Four publish an irradiance figure. None of the four state the distance it was measured at. The two most expensive publish nothing. The full survey, with sources, is in the mask buyer’s guide.
How to tell a real discount from a moved sticker
Four checks, in this order. They take about two minutes.
- Compare against the baseline above, not against the list price on the banner. “40% off $499” on a mask that has sat at $399 all autumn is a 0% discount with better typography.
- Check whether the spec is published at all. A discount on a device that will not tell you its irradiance does not solve the problem with that device — you still cannot work out what dose you are getting. The dose maths is here, and it needs a number the brand has to give you.
- Check the return window before the price. The randomised trials in this space run 16 weeks. A 30-day window cannot tell you whether a mask worked for you; a 120-day window can. On a considered purchase that difference is worth more than $50 off.
- Ask whether the discount changes the decision. If you would not buy a mask at $349 that publishes nothing, $249 does not make the specification appear. The only discounts that genuinely change a value proposition are the ones that bring a well-specified device into your budget.
Two things that are not discounts
- A bundle. Adding a serum you did not want to a mask you did is not a price cut.
- A gift card. Store credit is a discount on your next purchase, which is a different thing from a discount on this one.
And if you are looking at compression boots
Same principle, same method. Regular prices read from brand stores on 11 September 2026:
| System | Price, 11 Sep 2026 | Chambers / pressure |
|---|---|---|
| Hyperice Normatec 3 Legs | $899 | 5 zones · 40–110 mmHg |
| Hyperice Normatec Elite Legs | $1,099 | 5 zones · 40–110 mmHg |
| Hyperice Normatec 3 Lower Body | $1,149 | 5 legs / 2 hips |
| Therabody JetBoots Prime | $549.99 | 4 overlapping · 25–100 mmHg |
| Therabody JetBoots PRO Plus | from $999.99 (list $1,149.99) | 4 overlapping · 20–100 mmHg in 5 mmHg steps |
| Air Relax Classic AR-2.0 | $475 | 4 chambers · up to 200 mmHg |
| Air Relax Pro AR-4.0 | $935 | 6 chambers · up to 170 mmHg, 14 levels |
| Rapid Reboot CLASSIC Boots | $645 | Chambers not published · mmHg not published |
| Rapid Reboot REGEN Boots | $1,195 | Chambers not published · 0–200 mmHg |
| FIT KING FT-115A 5-Zone | $499.99 (reg. $699.99) | 5 zones · 50–150 mmHg, 11 levels |
| FIT KING FT-091A / FT-109A | $449.99 (reg. $599.99) | 4 chambers · 40–150 mmHg, 12 levels |
| FIT KING FT-082A | $319.99 (reg. $399.99) | 4 channels · mmHg not published |
The thing to understand before you chase a discount here. The protocols in the research run 20–30 minutes at around 80 mmHg, and four independent chambers per leg is the practical floor for a proper sequential wave. Several systems on this list clear both comfortably for under $500 at their regular price. A $400 saving on a $1,500 flagship buys you build quality, per-zone control and support — all real, none of them the mechanism. And what the mechanism reliably delivers, per two meta-analyses covering roughly 320 participants each, is a reduction in how sore you feel rather than a measurable change in recovery. Our full breakdown of what each price tier buys is in what compression boots cost.
Note also the three FIT KING rows. Each carries a permanent “regular price” above its everyday selling price. That is the pattern from the top of this page, in the wild — watch for a November banner discounting from the $699.99 rather than from the $499.99 it has actually been.
One email when there is something to report
No sequence, no daily deal blasts
We will email you once, when this page has verified deals on it — each one shown against its September baseline price.
We do not put affiliate links in emails to people who did not ask for offers.
How this page is maintained
- Every price carries the date it was read. If the date at the top of a section is old, treat the number as historical rather than current.
- We check the brand’s own store, not a marketplace. Marketplace prices move weekly and often hinge on a coupon, which makes them impossible to baseline against.
- Expired deals are struck through with the date they expired. We do not quietly delete them, because a record of what a “deal” actually was is more useful than a clean page.
- We will list nothing we have not loaded ourselves. No scraped feeds, no press-release discounts, no “expected” prices.
- If a brand’s regular price rises shortly before a sale, we will say so in the deal row, next to the discount.

FAQ
When is Black Friday 2026?
Friday 27 November 2026, with Cyber Monday on 30 November. Red light mask discounts in this category typically appear in the week beforehand, and some brands begin in mid-November.
Do red light therapy masks actually go on sale on Black Friday?
Discounts in this category are common, but so are inflated list prices. Several brands sit permanently below their own stated list price, so a percentage off that list price can amount to no reduction at all. That is why this page publishes a dated baseline rather than a prediction.
What counts as a good discount on a red light mask?
One that brings a device with published irradiance and a long return window into your budget. A large discount on a mask that publishes no specifications leaves you exactly where you started, unable to calculate the dose you are receiving.
Should I wait for Black Friday to buy a red light mask?
If you are shopping in October, waiting a few weeks costs you nothing but a few weeks. Just decide which device you want on the specs first, using the baseline table above, so that a banner is not what makes the decision for you.
Why does this page not list any deals yet?
Because on the date it was last checked there were none, and we do not publish discounts we have not loaded ourselves on the brand’s own store. The empty section is the honest state of the world in September, and it will fill up in November.
