Red Light & Light Therapy
Most of your day happens indoors, out of the sun. Red and near infrared light lead the way here, bringing some of that missing input back in whatever form fits your routine, supporting skin, recovery, and daily energy.

Frequently asked questions
What is red light therapy?
Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of red and near infrared light, delivered by LED panels or wearable devices, to support the body's normal cellular processes. Most people use it at home in short sessions a few times per week. It is a general wellness practice, not a medical treatment.
What is the difference between panels, masks, and wearables?
Panels cover larger areas like the back or legs and suit a fixed spot in your routine. Masks focus on the face. Belts, wraps, and helmets are built for one area and for portability. The right format is decided by the area you want to cover and the minutes you will realistically spend, and if you want one device that serves the whole body, a panel is usually the place to start.
What irradiance do I need?
There is no single right number, because dose is irradiance multiplied by time. A panel measured above 60 mW/cm2 at six inches needs short sessions, while a gentle wearable under 20 mW/cm2 runs longer. Check irradiance at a stated distance rather than LED count, and every device here publishes its wavelengths and output because those two numbers decide what a session delivers.
What is the difference between red and near infrared light?
Red light around 630 to 660 nm is absorbed near the surface and is used mainly for skin. Near infrared around 810 to 850 nm penetrates deeper and is used for muscle and joint work. Most quality devices emit both, and many let you run either one on its own.
How often do people use it?
Most devices here are designed for sessions of 10 to 20 minutes, several times a week. Consistency matters more than session length, and every product page lists suggested times under How to Use.
Are these devices FDA cleared?
Some are FDA cleared through a 510(k) submission for that specific device, and others are manufactured in FDA registered facilities, which is a different status. Each product page states which one applies to that device.
Can I use HSA or FSA funds?
Often, yes. Eligibility is decided per order by an independent licensed provider based on your health needs, then documented in a Letter of Medical Necessity through Truemed at checkout. See our HSA and FSA page for how it works.
How do I choose the right device?
Start with the area you care about most and how much time you want to give it. Our Journal guide to red light explains how to read the specs and how to work out dose, or take the Build Your Stack quiz for a recommendation matched to you in about two minutes.
