Face to Face: Comparing UFO vs UFO 2
Two otherworldly beauty-tech devices go head to head.
Did you know that UFO stands for “Ur Future Obsession”? That is to say that all of FOREO’s UFO devices will change the way you mask forever. Both UFO and UFO 2 (and their mini counterparts) use out-of-this-world technology to deliver more efficient facial treatments faster than ever before. But what makes UFO 2 stand out? Let’s go through the key differences between the new device and its predecessor.
Full Spectrum LED Light Therapy
The OG UFO device offered something truly life-changing. It incorporated LED Light Technology into masking – that way you got the best of beauty-tech and skincare all in one. UFO comes with red, green and blue LED lights. How did we improve on this technology?
We incorporated full spectrum LED Light Therapy. That means five additional light wavelengths with their unique benefits – calming, relieving, soothing, revitalizing, etc. The best part is that this innovative technology helps treat your skin as well as it boosts absorption of active mask ingredients. This ensures you get the most out of each treatment.
The More (benefits), The Merrier
Both devices come with built-in heating and cooling. The UFO 2 comes with ultra-fast heating – really making sure that mask ingredients are infused into the deepest layers of the skin. It also works with ALL the UFO activated smart masks – incorporating the optimal temperature, pulsation intensity & LED wavelength for maximum effect.
In addition, The FOREO For You App is here to provide the ultimate user-friendly experience. Use the app to unlock the full potential of UFO 2, control and adjust the intensity of settings and create customized power mask treatment routines. You can even order masks via the app or use the “Find My UFO 2” feature if you ever misplace your beloved device. Mask smarter and reap all the benefits!

We want to hear it from you. Which one is your fave? Have you tried smart masking before? Share your thoughts with us in the comments!
Vale is at her happiest when strangers on the internet don’t know stuff about her.
I wonder if the UFO can be controlled and adjusted the intensity of settings ie heat level like UFO2.
Hi Yuki! The UFO has a manual setting that you can turn the heating and cooling settings off or on whilst also adjusting the LED lights 🙂 This can give you a more personalized treatment.
Oh that’s wonderful. Thank you for your reply. 🙂
Does all the ufos need to scan the masks prior starting,
So basically if you dont have your mask the product does not work ????
The UFO does store information on the mask and you can use it via the manual mode. Please check our website on the UFO to download the manual to help you with this.
Hello FOREO Team,
which masks are not compatible with UFO?
Are there any specific UFO2- compatible masks?
Hi Mika, The good news is all masks are compatible to the UFO and UFO 2. Please keep checking on our website foreo.com and sign up to news letters to hear of latest devices and products as we are always looking, inventing and producing new skin care products.
Is the mini 2 not as powerful as UFO 2?
Hi Reet! The main difference between the UFO and the UFO Mini is that the latter does not have cryo-therapy. Some of the masks that are available on our website require this cryo-therapy in order to provide the best possible results.
Would i be able to use my regular sheet mask with the UFO?
Hi Anh, We have never tested out the UFO devices on other sheet masks so we can not guarantee how their ingredients would react or how the sheet mask would hold so we would recommend only using the UFO masks as intended. Hope that helps 🙂
Can UFO2 target pigmentation area better?
Thank you
Hi Lisa, Great question! The LED lights on the UFO and UFO 2 range will help benefit the areas of pigmentation and you can use your device in manual mode to emit the LED light that you require so personalising your treatment further. I hope this helps 🙂
Each led light is for what?
Hi Dan, Each LED has skin helping properties to ensure healthy glowing skin.
