Therasage TheraGlow Mask2Go+ Red Light Therapy Face Mask Review: Is the Upgrade Actually Better?
Hey there! Welcome to my review of the Therasage TheraGlow Mask2Go+. When Therasage released the Mask2Go+, I expected improvements over the predecessor, the Mask2Go. Instead, I had mixed feelings. The new version cuts the light therapy modes from 8 down to 4, blue, yellow, red, and near infrared. It still emits at 8 wavelengths, but somehow you get fewer options. And there’s no carry bag included anymore either.
So what makes this a “plus” model? One feature, the non contact ergonomic fit. The mask floats above your skin instead of pressing against it. Better airflow, less irritation, and your makeup or sweat stays on your face instead of transferring to the silicone. For people who hated the sticky feeling of traditional masks, this is a genuine game-changer.
I had clients test both versions side by side, some preferred the simplicity of fewer modes, while others missed the green and purple options immediately. The comfort difference was obvious, but whether it’s worth the trade-offs became the real debate.

Red Light Therapy Technology 
RED LIGHT TECH OVERVIEW
The LED technology in the TheraGlow Mask2Go+ matches its predecessor but doesn’t quite feel like a true upgrade. This mask uses 54 quad-chip LEDs that fire off 4 wavelengths simultaneously and generate red, blue, yellow, and near-infrared light. The 3 intensity settings give you extra control that most masks don’t offer. The tech specs look seriously impressive on paper, but here’s the thing: the original Mask2Go, which this version was supposed to improve upon, actually felt a bit better overall in my experience.
Understanding Red Light technology & specs
4 WAVE LENGTHS
Each wavelength reaches specific skin layers and tackles different issues. The TheraGlow Mask2Go+ fires off 4 wavelengths across the full light spectrum. Your skin adapts when you stick to just one wavelength, which makes treatments less effective over time. This variety keeps your results steady and consistent.
- Red Light (630/660/663 nm): This wavelength increases collagen in your skin and improves texture and elasticity.
- Blue Light (415 nm): Blue light targets acne and calms irritated skin.
- Yellow Light (590 nm): Eases redness and boosts lymphatic flow.
- Near Infrared Light (830/850/880 nm): Those wavelengths enhances skin conditioning, increases circulation, and accelerates renewal.
QUAD-CHIP LEDS
The quad-chip LEDs in the Therasage TheraGlow Mask2Go+ deliver 4 wavelengths at once, mixing them to produce different light colors. This mask uses 54 of these advanced LEDs for full facial coverage. No other face mask currently offers LED technology this sophisticated or this many wavelength combinations.
LIGHT DIMMER
The mask gives you 3 intensity levels to choose from. Starting with the lowest setting makes sense when you begin using it, even though stronger intensities work better. Your skin might react differently than someone else’s, so working your way up gradually helps you discover what feels right. You can find the perfect level for your needs without pushing too hard too fast.
FREQUENCY: CONTINUOUS
The TheraGlow Mask2Go+ only offers continuous mode for your sessions. The light stays on steadily throughout your entire treatment without stopping. Years of scientific research back this approach as effective and safe. Your skin receives consistent light exposure without any breaks or changes in intensity. You can’t switch to other treatment modes though, which limits your options.
Functions 
The Therasage TheraGlow Mask2Go+ gives you plenty of control over your sessions. You can pick which light type you want and set your own timer for session length. The mask lets you adjust intensity across 3 different levels, so you can start low and work your way up as your skin adapts. The only missing feature is pulsed light mode, but that’s not a dealbreaker. Most people get excellent results with continuous mode anyway, so the absence of pulsing doesn’t hurt the overall value.

Accessories
The Therasage TheraGlow Mask2Go+ comes with adjustable straps that let you customize the fit so the mask sits comfortably on your face during your sessions. The straps give you flexibility to get it just right. Eye protection isn’t needed on this mask since it’s designed to float above your skin without making direct contact, which keeps your eyes safe naturally. The carry pouch is missing unfortunately, which would have been nice for storage and travel purposes.
Warranty
You get 30 days to send the mask back if the results don’t satisfy you. Other brands stretch this trial window to 60 or even 90 days, which gives you more breathing room to evaluate the product properly. A month works but feels rushed compared to what competitors offer. The warranty covers you for 1 year, which sits right at the industry standard for this type of product. Nothing special there, just the baseline protection most brands provide.
Final Rating
FINAL RATING
THERASAGE THERAGLOW MASK2GO+
Best Fit
After testing this mask, I have to say the original Mask2Go was probably a better option. The TheraGlow Mask2Go+ cuts you down from 8 therapy modes to just 4, and it costs a bit more while also dropping the carry bag. The floating fit is comfortable, no question about it, but it doesn’t fully make up for losing those features.
That said, if comfort is your top priority, this mask wins hands down. The non-contact design gives it the best fit of any mask I’ve tested. No stickiness, no sweat transfer, no irritation from prolonged wear. It’s the only mask that truly floats above your skin, which sets it apart from everything else on the market. For clients who couldn’t tolerate traditional masks pressing on their face, this became their only real option.
Is the Mask2Go+ the Best Red Light Therapy Face Mask For You?
This is your ideal face mask if:
- ✅ You want quad-chip LEDs. They are top-tier technology for red light therapy, and this mask features them.
- ✅ You want maximum comfort. This mask hovers above your face instead of pressing against it, which makes wearing it incredibly comfortable during your sessions.
- ✅ You are ok with a 1-year warranty: This is the bare minimum, but most of the time it’s good enough.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a face mask better than a panel?
Masks cost a lot less than panels, so they’re easier on your budget if facial skincare is your goal. They’re lightweight and portable—use them while relaxing, working, or on the go. Because they fit your face specifically, all the light hits right where it needs to instead of spreading across a wider area. Panels work well for full-body use, but when face care is what matters most, a mask is the smarter option.

Will Red Light Therapy benefit my skin?
Red light therapy works at the cellular level to support healing and rejuvenation. The red and near-infrared wavelengths boost your cells’ energy, which increases collagen, reduces inflammation, and improves circulation to your skin. Science backs these benefits for better skin health, tone, and texture overall. I’ve put together a detailed guide that cuts through marketing claims to show you what’s proven versus what’s just hype.
Is Red Light Therapy FDA-approved?
The FDA started clearing red light devices in 2002 for minor aches in muscles and joints, arthritis relief, muscle spasms, and better circulation. More approvals came later: 2003 for muscle relaxation and stiffness, 2009 for carpal tunnel, 2010 for hair loss, 2013 for knee arthritis pain, and from 2018 onward for wrinkle reduction, wound healing, and recovery after cosmetic procedures.
When can I expect to notice changes?
This depends on your specific skin concerns and how consistently you use it. Some people see less redness and puffiness within a few weeks. More noticeable improvements—like smoother fine lines, better skin tone, and improved texture—usually appear after 8 to 12 weeks of regular sessions. Daily use speeds things up. Staying consistent is the most important factor for seeing real skin improvements with red light therapy.
How often should I use it and for how long?
Sessions typically run ten minutes or less. Aim for at least 3–5 times per week. Daily use is fine, but don’t go over twice a day—morning and evening at most.
Is Red Light Therapy safe to use?
It’s very safe when used correctly. Unlike UV light, it won’t harm your DNA or burn your skin—it uses gentle, safe wavelengths. Side effects are uncommon, possibly just mild warmth or slight redness from sitting too close or using it too long. Quality devices pass EMF safety tests and meet standards, so they’re safe for home or professional settings.
Take extra care if you have:
- Light Sensitivity: Talk to a doctor if you’re sensitive to light or take medications that increase sensitivity.
- Active Skin Cancer: Avoid using red light on cancerous areas without getting professional advice.
- Epilepsy or Seizure Disorders: Bright lights might cause issues; check with your doctor beforehand.
- Eye Problems or Recent Eye Surgery: Don’t look straight at the LEDs and wear protective eyewear when recommended.
Will it damage my tattoos?
Red light therapy won’t harm your tattoos—there’s no fading. Unlike UV rays, it’s safe for the ink and might even help your skin before and after getting tattooed. It lowers redness, speeds healing, and improves skin condition, so you can use it freely without worrying about your tattoo colors.
Can I wear makeup during sessions?
You can, but it’s not the best idea. Red and near-infrared light works better on clean, bare skin. Also, your makeup will rub off onto the mask and make it messy, which means you’ll need to clean it more frequently. Using it on a freshly washed face delivers better results and keeps your mask cleaner.
