Wavelengths and density
HigherDOSE uses two bands, 630 nm red and 830 nm near infrared, from 66 dual-core LEDs (132 diodes). It publishes the LED count.
Celluma MYSTIQUE uses 465 nm blue, 640 nm red, and 880 nm near infrared, with the band mix set by the selected program. It does not publish an LED count, so density cannot be ranked. The real question is whether you want blue light in the mix.
Edge: Split. HigherDOSE on disclosure. Celluma for 465 nm blue.
Power and Irradiance: Measured by Independent Third Parties
Neither brand publishes a third-party spectrometer reading, peak or average, for these masks. Both are worn on the face, so a six-inch figure is not their format, and none is estimated here.
Brand claim, kept separate: HigherDOSE states 26 mW/cm² at 630 nm and 24 at 830 nm, 50 total, without naming the method. Celluma does not headline a number. Neither is ranked.
Edge: No power winner. Neither publishes spectrometer data.
Modes, fit, and power
Celluma MYSTIQUE has five settings, including two combined face plus scalp settings, in 30-minute sessions, and runs cordless on a 7,000 mAh battery.
The HigherDOSE mask offers 10 and 20 minute sessions for the face.
Edge: Celluma on modes, scalp coverage, and battery.
FDA wording
HigherDOSE: openFDA lists K241933, HIGHERDOSE Red and Infrared Light Mask (MK66-L), Shenzhen Kaiyan Medical Equipment, decided 27 Sep 2024. That matches the Red Light Face Mask by name.
Celluma: openFDA lists Biophotas 510(k)s from K131113 (Celluma, 2014) to K232977 (Celluma CONTOUR, 2023). A search for one titled MYSTIQUE returned no match on 28 October 2026, so ask Celluma which K-number covers the mask.
Edge: HigherDOSE on a product-matched 510(k). Celluma on a deeper clearance history.
Live prices, 28 October 2026
HigherDOSE Red Light Face Mask $349, or $418 with the Light-Activated Glow Serum (higherdose.com/products.json).
Celluma MYSTIQUE LED Mask $995 (celluma.com/products.json). HigherDOSE is $646 less. Each mask is also priced against Omnilux in HigherDOSE vs Omnilux and Celluma vs Omnilux.
