Red Light Product Recommendations
My Product Recommendations:
(Last updated November 2024)
When it comes to red light therapy, choosing the right device is crucial to achieving your goals. I often get asked why I don’t list panels among my top recommendations even though I have one. The reason is simple: while panels provide ambient light, much of it gets reflected or refracted, resulting in energy loss. Most of the available research highlights the benefits of targeted light therapy for the most effective results. It’s important to keep this in mind when following some of the bigger vloggers.
The best device for you depends on your specific needs:
Postpartum Recovery, Pain, and Wound Healing: For these needs, skin contact is essential for speedier results and deeper penetration. Look for a pad/wrap/belt for fertility use too.
Targeted Health Benefits: A red light torch is ideal for focusing on specific areas that need healing such as small cuts, bruises, dental pain. A quality pad will support reproductive health but clinical evidence for LEDs is still lacking in the fertility realm. I like to think of home use wraps as a supplement to support your fertility.
Overall Health and Wellness: A panel is fine for general benefits, offering a broader range of coverage including exercise recovery.
Intimate Care: A vaginal wand can provide targeted light therapy for intimate areas. For the best outcomes, also consult with a women’s health physiotherapist.
Skin Care: A good mask will do the trick, providing targeted light to increase collagen, reduce blemishes and acne and rejuvenate your skin.
Selecting the right red light therapy device ensures you get the most out of your investment, tailored to your unique goals and needs.
My Experiences with Red Light Products
Over the last year, I've experimented with numerous Photobiomodulation devices. Unfortunately, some of these products stopped working after just a few uses, leading me on a quest to find truly reliable and effective solutions. Now, I only recommend PBM products that I personally use and have experienced positive results with. Additionally, it's crucial to me that these products come from companies with responsive customer care and fair returns policies. Combined with additional training and certification, this education has not only deepened my understanding but ensures that I bring well-informed information to my audience. I am an affiliate for these companies, but please know that I only promote products that I genuinely trust and stand by. My commitment is to recommend only the best, ensuring that you can explore PBM therapies with confidence and support.
As part of my approach I include personalised treatment plans on how to use your device optimally based on your unique circumstances and goals if you use my affiliate link. (Please note I cannot provide treatment plans to devices I’m unfamiliar with).

Novaa Light Pad
This pad includes 450 LEDs that emit red and near infrared light at 660nm and 850nm wavelengths with an irradiance (when against the skin) of 150 mW / cm².
With as high as 200mW/cm2 of irradiance, the Novaa lightpad ensures optimal light penetration and absorption, maximizing the therapy's effectiveness. Sized at approximately 16" x 8", it covers a significant area, perfect for targeting various parts of your body.
HOOGA TORCH (approx $140)
The Torch is Hooga’s most targeted and precision red light therapy device. Use with my photopuncture recipes coming soon. It features two rechargeable 2,500mAh lithium ion batteries with included charging cable so you can take your red light therapy with you on the go! Add the probe for targeting canker sores and cold sores in and around the mouth, as well as treating inside your nose and/or ear. The torch delivers over 120mW/cm2 of high-powered red, near-infrared, and blue light. I’m also a big fan of the Diesel LightPath torch - it’s the Rolls Royce of red light torches but also more expensive ($294).
FEMININE HEALTH WAND (approx $179)
Revolutionary Vaginal Rejuvenation Wand with 650 nm Red & 477 Blue LEDs to provide women with a noninvasive, painless alternative to vaginal health, tissue regeneration, and overall wellness through innovative light therapy and sonic vibration from the comfort of home.
This revolutionary design has 31 therapeutic LED lights, 3 of which are located on the tip of the wand. This allows you the freedom to insert the device based on your comfort level and still experience maximum benefits. Optional Sonic Vibration feature for enhanced blood flow and added benefits (international shipping available).
