The Best Red Light Therapy Devices for Plump, Rejuvenated Lips

You might be familiar with Dr. Dennis Gross’s LED face mask, but they also make this lip-specific version, which ELLE named one of the best skin treatments of 2025. “I won’t lie, I was drawn to this product because of how cool it looks,” notes Tasha Nicole Smith, ELLE’s beauty assistant. “I’m a sucker for a sleek design. But the slick rose gold exterior is just the icing on the cake for this tool. Just like red light masks for the skin, this palm-sized tool that targets the lips helps to combat fine lines and wrinkles. It’s really easy to use and comes with an automatic timer that will turn the device off after the treatment time is up. After using it on and off for a few months I can definitely say I’ve noticed my lips look smoother even when I’m not wearing a gloss or lip balm!”

Treatment time: 3 minutes

Best for: Plumping, color enhancement, fading fine lines

Another targeted lip mask is the favorite of dermatologist Dr. Karan Lal. “It’s easy to use and doesn’t require a lot of time for application,” Dr. Lal notes of the device. With a three-minute treatment time and visible results in just eight weeks, it’s no wonder this device boasts several rave reviews. CurrentBody is also the brand responsible for a slew of LED beauty tools, and you can purchase the lip mask in a bundle with their LED eye mask or a targeted treatment serum.

Best for: Plumping, even lip color, treating fine lines

If you want to treat your whole face, not just your lips, the Therabody TheraFace Mask covers the lips as well, unlike most other LED face masks. The mask has three different light modes–red light, blue light, and infrared–along with vibration therapy to stimulate your muscles and add stress relief. A reviewer notes, “I’ve had it for a few days but noticed improvements after the first default 9 min treatment: The skin is much tighter, the pores have been reduced DRAMATICALLY (my pores are normally huge), skin feels smoother and less inflamed.” For the lips, you’ll receive all those wonderful treatments as well, which can lead to increased fullness, more even tone, and fewer fine lines.

Treatment time: 9-15 minutes

Best for: Plumping, reducing fine lines, calming acne, muscle stimulation, sagging skin

If you want to reap the benefits of red light therapy but are averse to spending hundreds of dollars on a tool, this is a great option. Red light therapy increases blood flow to the lips, which gives the appearance of a more plumped pout, while simultaneously reducing fine lines. One reviewer writes, “I have a red light mask for my face, but it doesn’t cover the lip area. That’s why I purchased this. I am already seeing results (plumping, softer vertical lines, and pinker lips) after only 2 weeks. Very easy to use–only 3 minutes at a time, so I can always squeeze it in while getting ready in the bathroom. And the charge lasts a LONG time–I haven’t recharged it yet.”

Best for: Plumping, reducing fine lines, color enhancement

If you sometimes notice sores around or on your lips, this red light therapy device was especially just for that. The targeted tool makes it easy to direct the treatment to specific areas, which help soothe and reduce sores. One reviewer notes, “Before I got the Luminance Red I’d get a cold sore outbreak around every 2-3 months depending on stress, and the summer months actually were worst for me. Nothing has had as big of an impact as I wanted or helped to prevent breakouts. To sum it up, it’s been over 11 months now since I had an outbreak, whoowhooo!”

Treatment time: As often as needed

Best for: Mouth and lip sores
