Celluma vs Omnilux (2026)
Medical review: Articles on Red Light Therapy Top 10 are reviewed for scientific accuracy by our medical expert team. This page is wellness information, not a diagnosis or a treatment plan. LED and laser sessions may help skin-appearance and general wellness routines. They are not presented here as a treatment for disease.
Celluma (made by Biophotas, California) and Omnilux (the home arm of Omnilux Medical) are the two clinic-heritage names most often compared for home LED face devices. The like-for-like pair is the Celluma MYSTIQUE LED Mask ($995; 465 nm blue, 640 nm red, 880 nm near infrared; face and scalp at once) against the Omnilux Contour Face ($395; 633 nm red and 830 nm near infrared; 132 LEDs in a flexible silicone mask). Celluma also sells the flat flexible Celluma FACE and HOME panels at $795.
Winner summary
Overall winner: Celluma
Celluma prices come from celluma.com/products.json and Omnilux prices from omniluxled.com/products.json on 21 October 2026. This page does not invent a code for either brand. Both are worn face devices, so neither publishes a six-inch spectrometer reading, and none is invented here.

Trustpilot at write time
Public reviews are a ranking criterion on this page. Scores come from independent Trustpilot listings pulled 21 October 2026. Manufacturer on-site star widgets are a different dataset and are not mixed in.
Celluma
4.1 / 5
Thin is the honest word. Thirty reviews is a small sample, so this is a cautious win.
Omnilux
2.2 / 5
A real sample with a low score. It is reported as listed, without speculating about causes.

Wavelengths and LED density
Celluma MYSTIQUE uses three bands: 465 nm blue, 640 nm red, and 880 nm near infrared, the same recipe as the Celluma PRO panel. Celluma states that doses and wavelengths depend on the selected treatment, and it does not publish an LED count or per-band share for the mask.
Omnilux Contour Face uses two bands, 633 nm red and 830 nm near infrared, and publishes an even split: 66 red and 66 near-infrared LEDs, 132 total, in dual-chip packages. Dual-chip is a design fact, not a defect. Omnilux has no blue channel, so it is not positioned for blemish-prone programs the way a blue-capable mask is.
Edge: Celluma for a three-band recipe with blue. Omnilux for a published, even two-band split.
Power and Irradiance: Measured by Independent Third Parties
Neither brand publishes a third-party spectrometer reading for these masks, peak or average. Both are worn on or near the skin, so a six-inch panel figure is not their format. There is no spectrometer column to fill, and none is estimated here.
Brand-stated, kept separate: Omnilux states about 30 mW/cm² for Contour Face, calculated from its clinical data, with no instrument named. Celluma does not headline an irradiance figure. A low contact dose is a deliberate design choice, not a weakness, and the two cannot be ranked on power from published data.
Edge: No power winner. Neither publishes spectrometer data.
Modes, fit, and power
Celluma MYSTIQUE has five settings: wrinkles, acne, hair growth, wrinkles plus hair growth, and acne plus hair growth. The combined settings treat the face and scalp in one 30-minute session. It is cordless on a 7,000 mAh battery that lasts 3 to 15 cycles depending on program, and charges in about 2.5 hours.
Omnilux Contour Face runs one program from a small controller with straps. It is the simpler device, and the flexible silicone sits closer to facial contours.
Edge: Celluma on modes, scalp coverage, and battery. Omnilux on simplicity and a flexible fit.
FDA wording
Celluma lists MYSTIQUE as FDA-cleared for acne, aging skin, and hair restoration. openFDA lists five Biophotas 510(k)s: K131113 (Celluma, 2014), K152280 (Celluma3, 2016), K171323 (Celluma3, 2017), K211038 (Celluma RESTORE, 2021), and K232977 (Celluma CONTOUR, 2023). A search for a 510(k) titled MYSTIQUE returned no match on 21 October 2026, so ask Celluma for the K-number that covers the mask specifically.
Omnilux markets Contour as FDA-cleared. openFDA lists Omnilux-branded 510(k)s including K072459 (Omnilux New-U, 2008), K081307 (Omnilux Clear-U, 2009), and K210948 (Omnilux CLEAR, 2021). We could not match one titled Contour Face by name. The same advice applies.
Edge: Both brands have genuine 510(k) histories. Neither mask matched a K-number by product name in our search.
Returns and warranty
Celluma gives 30 days from purchase to request a return authorisation. Unused devices with damaged packaging carry a 10% restocking fee, and a broken seal on an unused device 20% (celluma.com returns page). The warranty term was not captured at write time, so it is not stated.
Omnilux accepts returns of unopened product within 30 days of delivery and lists a 2-year warranty.
Edge: Omnilux on a published warranty. Neither offers a free trial on a used mask.
Live prices, 21 October 2026
Celluma MYSTIQUE $995; Celluma FACE $795; Celluma HOME $795 (celluma.com/products.json).
Omnilux Contour Face $395; Omnilux Men $395; Omnilux Clear $395; Contour Neck and Décolleté $395 (omniluxled.com/products.json).
The $600 gap buys a blue channel, five settings including scalp, and a larger battery. It does not buy published spectrometer data from either brand. For a seven-band panel with six-inch spectrometer peaks, each brand is scored against the RLT Home Total Spectrum line in Celluma vs RLT Home and Omnilux vs RLT Home.
The verdict: winner and runner up
🏆 Winner
Celluma, for most mask buyers
For most buyers choosing between these two masks, Celluma MYSTIQUE is the stronger device: three bands including blue, five settings including combined face and scalp, cordless battery power, a brand with five openFDA 510(k)s, and the better Trustpilot score (4.1, on a thin 30 reviews). It costs $995.
🥈 Runner up
Omnilux, for the lower-cost flexible red and NIR mask
For buyers who want a simpler, lighter flexible red and near-infrared mask at $395, with a published 132-LED split and a 2-year warranty, Omnilux Contour Face is the better fit. Its Trustpilot score is low (2.2 from 231).

Conclusion
Celluma and Omnilux are both clinic-heritage LED brands, but these masks are built for different buyers. Celluma MYSTIQUE wins on wavelength range, modes, scalp coverage, cordless runtime, and Trustpilot score. Omnilux Contour Face wins on price, a published LED split, and a stated 2-year warranty. The data favors Celluma for most mask buyers, with Omnilux the runner-up for a lower-cost flexible red and NIR mask.
