If you searched for an "AURA LED mask", you've probably noticed the word gets used by more than one brand. This page is about the RIVATA AURA: two FDA-cleared, cordless LED light therapy masks, the AURA Lite and the AURA 4D. Here's what they are, how they work, what they cost, and how to pick between them.
What the AURA mask is
AURA is RIVATA's line of at-home LED light therapy masks. You wear it on clean skin, choose a mode with one button, and it runs a timed session of red, blue, amber and near-infrared light, then switches itself off. There's no app, no cord and nothing to hold. Both masks are FDA-cleared for the treatment of wrinkles and acne on the face, and both come with free US shipping and a 90-day money-back guarantee.
There are two models, built for two different buyers:
- AURA Lite: a flexible silicone mask, 272 LEDs, 4 wavelengths, 200g. The easy everyday mask.
- AURA 4D: a contoured shell, 400 LEDs, 7 wavelengths including Triple NIR, with cooling pads. The flagship.
How it works
LED light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light, not heat and not UV. Each color reaches a different depth in the skin and does a different job:
- Blue 460nm works at the surface, where acne-causing bacteria live. It's the light behind the Anti-Acne mode.
- Red 630nm reaches the upper dermis and targets wrinkles. It's the core of the Anti-Aging mode.
- Amber 605nm powers the Glow mode for a brighter, more even look.*
- Near-infrared 850nm is invisible and goes deeper, into the layer where skin's structure is built. Both masks use it.
- AURA 4D only: Red 660nm, a deeper red that works with 630nm on firmness and fine lines*, plus Deep NIR at 940nm and 1064nm, which reach further down still.*
Results build with repetition, not intensity: 3 to 5 sessions a week, judged honestly around the 8 to 12 week mark. The full wavelength breakdown is on The Science page, and the week-by-week picture is in how long red light therapy takes to work.
The four modes
Both masks use the same four modes, cycled with a single button:
- Anti-Acne (blue): for breakouts.
- Glow (amber): for a brighter, more even look.*
- Anti-Aging (red): for wrinkles and fine lines.
- Full Rejuvenation (red and blue together): the all-round session.
Near-infrared runs alongside every mode. On the AURA 4D that means all three NIR wavelengths, 850nm, 940nm and 1064nm, every session (Triple NIR). More on why that matters in 850nm vs 940nm.

What the AURA mask costs
The AURA Lite is $129.99 and the AURA 4D is $249.99. That's one price per model, whichever color you pick, with free US shipping. A mask is a one-time cost for something you'll use three to five times a week, where in-office LED facials are paid per session. The 90-day money-back guarantee means you can judge results on your own skin before the cost is final.
Prices shown are current as of October 2026. For today's pricing, check the AURA 4D and AURA Lite product pages.
How to use it
Cleanse and dry your face (serums and oils block light, so apply them after). Put the mask on, press the button to pick a mode, and let the session run: the mask turns itself off at the end. Keep your eyes closed during the session; the AURA Lite comes with two light-blocking eye shields. Most people anchor it to the evening wind-down. Daily use is safe, but 3 to 5 sessions a week is the sweet spot; see can you use an LED mask every day.
Which AURA is right for you
Choose the AURA Lite if you're new to LED therapy, your main goals are breakouts, glow and early lines, or you want the lightest mask you'll actually wear every week.
Choose the AURA 4D if firmness and deeper lines are the priority, you want every wavelength RIVATA makes, and you like the idea of a contoured fit with cooling pads. It's sold out right now; joining the waitlist gets you a private launch-day offer.
