What makes a Celluma panel different
Most red light panels are rigid boards you stand in front of. Celluma panels are flexible: they bend to follow a face, a knee or a lower back, and you hold them close to the skin instead of at a distance. Celluma's instructions are to keep the panel within about an inch.
Every panel uses the same three wavelengths, 465 nm blue, 640 nm red and 880 nm near-infrared, in blends that vary by mode. Blue is used for acne; red and near-infrared for skin and pain.

Compact or large: what the size means
If you'll mostly treat your face, compact is enough. If you want to use it on your back or legs too, the large panel saves moving it around between sessions.
- Compact (472 cm2): eyebrows to chin on the face; an elbow, wrist or knee on the body. Lighter to hold, cheaper.
- Large (718 cm2): hairline to chin with no stand; wraps a whole knee, shoulder or section of the lower back. About 50% more area.
Multi-panel systems
For bigger areas, Celluma's CONTOUR, CONTOUR PLUS and ELITE run up to three large panels at once, and plug in rather than running on battery. See our CONTOUR review and ELITE review.
