| Key specifications | - Panel and LEDs: 353 LEDs plus 4 green indicator lights on a 24 x 10 in flexible panel with a 16 x 8 in treatment area
- Wavelengths: Blue 465 nm, red 640 nm and near infrared 880 nm, blended by mode. Contour uses red and near infrared only
- Modes: Four: Wrinkles, Acne, Aches and Pains, and Contour. Celluma says the 3-mode PRO is essentially the same device without Contour, which is for the body and not the face
- Output: The manual lists maximum output at the source: 7.65 mW/cm² blue, 9.36 red and 1.4 near infrared. FDA summaries give 6.5 mW/cm² for the wrinkle program, and 4.2 red with 0.7 near infrared for Contour
- Session: 30 minutes, fixed, with a countdown timer. The manual advises 3 sessions a week for 4 weeks in the Wrinkles, Acne, Aches and Pains and Contour modes. Celluma's page says to use it up to 30 minutes a day
- Battery and power: 7.4 V, 7,000 mAh (50.4 Wh) lithium-ion, about 2.5 hours to charge, and it can run while plugged in. Celluma gives different battery life figures: at least 3 sessions in the manual, 3 to 4 on the page and up to 15 in the tech specs
- FDA status: Celluma says PRO PLUS is FDA cleared for body contouring, aging skin, pain and acne. FDA lists clearances under Celluma3 (K152280, K171323) and CONTOUR (K232977), and none under the PRO PLUS name
- Eye safety: Goggles come in the box and are optional per Celluma. The manual says people sensitive to bright light should wear them and that nobody should look directly at the panel. It lists IEC 62471 risk group 1
- Safety limits: The manual says the panel doesn't get warmer than 42 °C and has an IP21 rating, so it isn't waterproof. Don't use it in a bathroom, lie on it or put it under blankets or clothing
- Controls: A controller with on/standby, mode, start and pulse buttons, a charge light and a countdown. Celluma says it has a treatment timer and start and pause. Pulse is normally on at the start of a session
- In the box: PRO PLUS panel with controller, protective eye goggles, power supply with global adapters and a user manual
| - LEDs: 100 LEDs. LightLab counted 48 red, 50 infrared and 2 blue
- Wavelengths: 480, 630, 660, 810, 830, 850 and 1060 nm in the product description. The comparison table says "7 Wave" but lists only six, leaving out 850 nm
- Irradiance (lab average, 350–1700 nm): 71.79 mW/cm² at 6 in, 56.25 at 12 in, 43.89 at 18 in and 35.30 at 24 in. At 12 in, red (600–700 nm) averaged 24.61 and near infrared (780–1700 nm) 30.50
- Power: 180 W and 1.6 A at 110 V on the comparison table. LightLab measured 174.8 W at 120 V
- Size and weight: 18.90 x 8.66 x 2.76 in, 11 lb. Maximum heat rating 130°F (55°C)
- In the box and mounting: Panel, eye protection, door hook, hanging bracket, power and patch cables, cable assembly with snap links, six screws, a wrench and a remote. Tabletop stand $119 and wall bracket $79, sold separately
- Use guidance: 10 to 20 minutes per area, up to 2 to 3 areas a day, 3 to 5 times a week. The product page says 8 to 14 in for deep tissue and 16 to 24 in for the face. The FAQ says 10 to 15 minutes at 6 to 12 in for deep tissue
- EMF and flicker: PlatinumLED lists 0.0 µT at 4 in. Its EMF article describes an in-house test with an unnamed detector. It makes no flicker claim

| Exact variant | large single flexible panel with 4 modes, battery-powered, device only | targeted panel, with door hook and hanging bracket; no stand |
|---|
| Dimensions | The panel is 24 x 10 in with a 16 x 8 in treatment area (718.5 cm²), and it weighs 1.5 lb, per Celluma's product page. | 18.90 x 8.66 x 2.76 in and 11 lb, per PlatinumLED's comparison table. |
|---|
| Installation | None. The panel runs on an internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery, or plugged in through its USB-C power supply (13 V, 2.76 A, 36 W). A full charge takes about 2.5 hours with the unit off. Celluma's manual says to wake the battery from ship mode on first use and to charge it fully before the first session. The panel bends to the body and needs no stand. A single facial rest is sold separately for holding it in an S shape over the face. | The box includes a door hook, a hanging bracket, a cable assembly and snap links, so you can hang it over a door. The tabletop stand costs $119, fits only the 300 and 450, and is sold separately. A wall mount bracket is $79 and a mobile floor stand is $139. Stand sales are final. PlatinumLED lists a 1.6 A draw at 110 V and says its lights adapt to any household voltage, with a cord for your country. |
|---|
| Materials | Polyurethane foam encloses the LEDs and a shape-taking frame, with a Lexan shield over the light panel, per Celluma's manual. | LightLab's report describes a formed steel housing, an aluminum circuit board plate and two fans above the LEDs. Each LED has a clear conical plastic optic. |
|---|
| Warranty | Two years from delivery, covering shipping damage, manufacturing defects and defective batteries. Celluma pays shipping both ways to an authorized repair location on a covered claim. A third year costs $89 as a 1-year extended warranty for a single panel, and Celluma's pages disagree on whether you must buy it at purchase or within a year. Accidental damage, moisture, cosmetic damage and normal battery degradation aren't covered, and unauthorized repair or modification voids the warranty. | Three years. PlatinumLED's warranty page says it runs from the delivery date in one place and from the purchase date in another. The refund policy says purchase. It covers a light that isn't working properly. PlatinumLED decides case by case whether to send parts, troubleshoot by phone or email, or replace the unit with a new or refurbished one. Claims need photo or video evidence. Drops, misuse, opening the panel and damage from mis-inserted stand screws aren't covered. Only the original buyer from PlatinumLED or an authorized reseller is covered. Neither page says who pays shipping on a claim. |
|---|
| Returns | 30 days from purchase to ask for a return authorization, but only an unused device qualifies. Celluma's software tracks use, and 10 minutes or more of cumulative on-time counts as used, with no refund. An unused device in damaged packaging loses 10% to a restocking fee, and a broken or tampered seal costs 20%. You call or email Celluma for authorization first. The policy doesn't say who pays return shipping. | 60 days from delivery, for the panel only. It must reach PlatinumLED's returns center by day 60, in its original packaging with all accessories. Elective returns carry a 20% restocking fee, which is $131.80 at list price. The fee applies even though the store description calls this a "60-Day Trial". You pay return shipping, and original shipping isn't refunded. Stands and accessories such as remotes are final sale. You have to email support for a return authorization first. PlatinumLED gives no refund timeline for US returns beyond saying it refunds after it receives and inspects the panel. |

| Unresolved questions | - Which 510(k) covers the Series 2 PRO and PRO PLUS hardware, since FDA lists the filings under Celluma3 and CONTOUR
- Operating power draw, since 36 W is only the adapter's rating
- Whether the battery can be replaced and what it costs
- Who pays return shipping on an authorized return
- Whether a US-labeled manual differs from the EU manual
- Flicker and EMF levels beyond the manual's compatibility tables
- Irradiance at a stated distance, since the manual gives output at the source only
| - Who pays shipping on a warranty claim
- US shipping cost, since the store says free and the shipping page gives no price
- Fan noise
- Whether the light flickers
- Measured peak wavelengths, since the lab report gives band totals only
- Whether Intertek's directory lists the BIOMAX 300 under the IEC 60601 standards PlatinumLED cites
- Whether the warranty starts at purchase or delivery, since PlatinumLED's pages say both
