Head to head

Harmony XL Pro vs Spectrum (2026)

The biggest practical difference is cost of entry: Harmony XL Pro's new pricing is $60k–$110k, while Spectrum's is $65k–$75k. Harmony XL Pro holds FDA 510(k) clearance for its marketed indication. Spectrum's manufacturer is establishment registered with the device listed — that is not FDA clearance or approval. Both are used for multi-app platform, so choose on consumable cost per treatment, cleared indications and how many treatments you can realistically book each month.
