LED face masks that harness the anti-aging superpowers of red light therapy have been a staple in the at-home beauty landscape for several years now, but when it comes to devices designed to target the mouth and lips, CurrentBody’s LED Lip Perfector is the first of its kind. The LED-powered ‘mouthpiece’ is equipped with 56 amber, red, deep red, and infrared bulbs, which work in unison to soften fine lines around the mouth region whilst plumping up deflated lips by stimulating collagen production and jump-starting cell rejuvenation.
The anti-aging lip-plumping device is equipped with a comfortable silicone piece held in place with your mouth (yes, kind of like a pacifier or mouth guard). While it feels a bit awkward at first, each treatment session is only three minutes long. All you have to do is place the device in your mouth, turn it on, and after three minutes, it’ll automatically turn off. Apply lip balm post-treatment, and you’re good to go—no pain, stinging, or irritation.

According to CurrentBody, users can expect visible results in just four to eight weeks with daily use, though I noticed my marionette lines were noticeably softened in just ten days. And while the device works its magic over time, what I love about the LED Lip Perfector is that it also gives your pout an instant pick-me-up. After using it the first time, I noticed that my lip color appeared rosier for the remainder of the night—a tone similar to the blushy hue I was naturally endowed with when I was a kid. The instant gratification benefits make sense as the device increases circulation, drawing blood flow to the lips, instantly improving tone, and making the lips appear fuller and flushed.

I’ve been using the LED Lip Perfector on and off for about a year now (note to self: consistency is key!), and I’ve noticed that, in addition to the aforementioned improvement in my marionette lines, some of the so-called “smoker lines” in the mouth area have started to fade, and my lip color is noticeably—and permanently—more pigmented.

It appears that I’m not the only one who’s impressed by this handheld (mouth-held?) LED device, either. The relatively new launch has already amassed tons of glowing reviews. “One of the first things I noticed and still do after [three] weeks is the change in lip color. My lips have a baby-pink hue to them,” one reviewer wrote.
It should go without saying that no topical treatment or at-home beauty gadget will yield the same results as dermal injectables like filler and neurotoxins (*sigh*), but if you’re looking for a needle-free alternative or an affordable way to extend the lifespan of injectables, CurrentBody’s LED Lip Perfector is an excellent choice.
