The verdict
Celluma PRO PLUS is a 24-inch flexible panel with 353 LEDs and four 30-minute programs. It suits you if you want one battery-powered panel for the face and body and you're sure you'll keep it. The catch: a device used for 10 minutes or more can't be returned, and FDA lists the clearances under the Celluma3 and CONTOUR names.
The trade-off
A used device can't be returned, and FDA lists no clearance under the PRO PLUS name.

A GOOD FIT FOR
You want one battery-powered panel with four programs, including a body-contouring mode.
- You want a large flexible panel that covers the face from hairline to chin and also wraps a thigh or back
- You want Wrinkles, Acne, Aches and Pains, and Contour programs on one battery-powered device
- You want FDA summaries that publish dose figures (mW/cm² and J/cm²) for the programs behind the device
- You're sure you'll keep it, since a used device can't be returned
THINK TWICE IF
- You want a trial period that allows use, since 10 minutes of on-time counts as used
- You want a cheaper entry, since the 3-mode PRO is $200 less and Celluma's smaller HOME and FACE panels are $795
- You want a hair-growth mode, which Celluma says only RESTORE, NOVA, ELITE and CONTOUR PLUS have
- You're pregnant or breastfeeding and would use it over the breast or stomach, per Celluma's contraindications
- You have epilepsy or a history of seizures, or you take photosensitizing drugs, per Celluma's contraindications
- You'd use it over a known tumor or metastasis, which Celluma says not to do
What still needs checking
- 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
How long does Celluma take?
Each Celluma session lasts 30 minutes, and Celluma’s manual suggests 3 sessions a week for 4 weeks in each mode6.
FDA’s summaries for the Celluma3 and CONTOUR list the same 30-minute treatment91113. The Celluma3 wrinkle filing lists 3 treatments a week for 4 weeks11. Celluma’s page says to use it up to 30 minutes a day1.
Charging takes about 2.5 hours with the unit off, and a full charge runs at least three sessions6. A device used for 10 minutes or more in total can’t be returned5.
The practical details.
| Exact variant | large single flexible panel with 4 modes, battery-powered, device only |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| 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. |
| Materials | Polyurethane foam encloses the LEDs and a shape-taking frame, with a Lexan shield over the light panel, per Celluma's manual. |
Before you buy
InstallationNone
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.
WarrantyTwo years from delivery, covering shipping damage…
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.
Returns30 days from purchase to ask for a return authorization…
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.
More about this assessment
Celluma PRO PLUS is a 24 by 10 inch flexible LED panel with 353 LEDs at 465 nm blue, 640 nm red and 880 nm near infrared. Celluma's US store lists it first and calls it the best-selling Celluma. It costs $1,995 and adds a body-contouring mode to the 3-mode PRO, which is $1,795. Celluma says it's FDA cleared for acne, aging skin, pain and body contouring, but FDA lists the clearances under the names Celluma3 and CONTOUR. A session is 30 minutes, usually 3 times a week for 4 weeks. A full charge runs at least three sessions. A device used for 10 minutes or more can't be returned.
Strengths on paper
- Four programs on one panel: Wrinkles, Acne, Aches and Pains, and Contour
- FDA summaries publish dose figures, such as 6.5 mW/cm² and 11.7 J/cm² for the wrinkle program
- The manual publishes maximum output by color at the source
- Two-year warranty that covers defective batteries and pays shipping both ways on a covered claim
- A fixed 30-minute session with a countdown timer and start and pause
- The battery runs at least 3 sessions per charge, and the panel can run while plugged in
- Celluma publishes weight, battery capacity, charge time and operating limits
Limitations
- The clearances rest on the Celluma3 and CONTOUR filings and Celluma's statements, not on the PRO or PRO PLUS name
- Output is a few mW/cm², so each session needs 30 minutes to reach the 11.7 J/cm² the FDA wrinkle summary lists
- A used device can't be returned, and 10 minutes of on-time counts as used
- Battery life figures differ: at least 3 sessions in the manual, 3 to 4 on the page and up to 15 in the tech specs
- Celluma's only English manual is the EU version, and it lists indications the FDA clearances don't, such as low back pain and fibromyalgia
- Celluma's pages disagree on when you can buy the third warranty year
- The clinical study in the Celluma3 filing covered periorbital wrinkles in 42 people, and the summary describes no control group
- The CONTOUR clearance rests on non-clinical testing, since no clinical data was included
Running costs.
PLAN YOUR OWNERSHIP COSTS
What will it cost to own?
Change the assumptions to fit your use. Leave an unknown cost blank. Add water, subscriptions, cleaning, shipping and taxes if they apply. Use average operating power, not the maximum rating.
3-year known subtotal
$1,995.00Incomplete: energy use. This is not the full ownership cost.
Energy component: Unknown
Purchase + installation + years × (annual consumables + annual other) + watts/1000 × hours/day × 365 × years × $/kWh. Annualized allowances, not an exact replacement schedule. Excludes taxes, shipping, finance and resale unless entered.Replacement parts & cost assumptions
No scheduled consumable is listed. That doesn’t mean zero maintenance or repair costs.
- Purchase is the $1,995 list price on Oct 23, 2026. Tax is extra, and ground shipping is free over $1,000.
- Installation is $0. The panel is battery-powered and needs no stand. A single facial rest is $19.95 and isn't counted.
- Nothing needs replacing on a schedule, and there's no subscription. The extra warranty year is $89 and isn't counted.
- Hours per day is 0.21, which assumes the manual's 30-minute session 3 times a week.
- Celluma doesn't publish operating power. The 36 W adapter rating is a ceiling, not a measured draw, and at that ceiling the schedule uses at most about 2.8 kWh a year.
- The battery isn't described as user-replaceable, and Celluma doesn't publish a replacement price. The manual gives an expected service life of 3 years, and the warranty doesn't cover normal battery degradation.
Evidence & sources.
Does red light therapy work? Our evidence review grades the research as Mixed. That grade is about the claim, not about this product.
- Regulator recordFDA cleared Celluma3 (K152280, decision March 2, 2016). The clearance covers topical heating to relieve minor muscle and joint pain. Its blue light is cleared for mild to moderate inflammatory acne, and its red and infrared light for periorbital wrinkles.89 The summary lists 30-minute treatments 3 times a week for 4 weeks. For the wrinkle indication it describes a clinical study. Of 50 people recruited, 42 finished, ages 30 to 75. Three investigators judged their photos, and no adverse events were reported. The summary describes no control group. FDA cleared it as substantially equivalent to earlier devices.
- Regulator recordFDA cleared Celluma3 again (K171323, decision September 1, 2017) for full-face wrinkles using 640 nm red and 880 nm near-infrared light.1011 The summary lists 6.5 mW/cm² and 11.7 J/cm² per session, a 1,800-second treatment 3 times a week for 4 weeks, and a 15 x 8 in treatment area.
- Regulator recordFDA cleared Celluma CONTOUR (K232977, decision November 21, 2023) for reducing the circumference of hips, waist and thighs. The same filing repeats the heat and pain indication and the full-face wrinkle indication.1213 The summary says the filing adds a red-only Contour mode through a software change. It lists 4.2 mW/cm² at 640 nm and 0.7 mW/cm² at 880 nm over 30 minutes and says no clinical performance data was included.
- Regulator recordFDA's database lists six clearances for Biophotas, which makes Celluma. None names the PRO, PRO PLUS or Series 2. The names are Celluma3 (K152280, K171323), Celluma (K131113), Lifelight (K122237), RESTORE (K211038) and CONTOUR (K232977).14 Celluma says PRO PLUS is FDA cleared but gives no 510(k) numbers, so we can't match it to a filing. Celluma's FAQ says its devices share the same light energy per square centimeter.
- Manufacturer claimCelluma's US store lists PRO PLUS first on its best-sellers page and calls it the new number 1 best-selling Celluma. It lists the 3-mode PRO at $1,795, the smaller HOME and FACE panels at $795.13 The PRO is the same panel without Contour mode.
- Manufacturer claimCelluma lists acne, aging, contour and pain as the FDA-cleared modes of the PRO PLUS. It says the PRO and PRO PLUS are essentially the same device, differing in the number of programs.17 The page names no 510(k) numbers. Celluma's FAQ says the Contour program runs at the highest dose of red and near-infrared light, with blue turned off, and that it shouldn't be used on the face.
- Published studyA 2018 systematic review of 31 randomized trials of LEDs in dermatology gave acne vulgaris, herpes simplex and zoster, and acute wound healing a grade B recommendation. Other skin conditions got grade C or D.17 The review names limitations in some studies: small samples (under 20 people), no blinding, no sham control and varied treatment settings. It isn't a test of Celluma.
