How to Choose a Red Light Therapy Panel

How to Choose a Red Light Therapy Panel

 

You’ve done your research on red light therapy and decided to go with a BIOMAX series panel.

But, which one? 

In this article, we’ll help you choose the right BIOMAX red light therapy panel for your needs. 

We’ll discuss which panel is best for seeking spot treatment vs. full-body treatment and offer up the best option for red light therapy treatment inside a sauna. 

Each BIOMAX Series panel features the same R+| NIR+ spectrum to optimize treatment versatility. This includes two red, two near-infrared, one infrared, and traces of blue wavelengths for both topical applications like acne to deep-tissue conditions.

 

Red Light Therapy Coverage: More or Less?

Let’s go over some of the differences between the panels. The biggest difference between the BIOMAX Series offerings is size. 

While we would generally recommend one of our largest panels for optimal, full-body treatment, we also have smaller panels available for those on a tighter budget or are only seeking to treat specific parts of the body. 

Meanwhile, the SaunaMAX Pro was designed specifically for in-sauna use, specifically designed to withstand both the moisture and heat of that environment. 

 

BIOMAX 300

The BIOMAX 300 may be ideal for those only seeking spot treatment. As the smallest of the panels we offer, it features 160 mW/cm2 at 6”. This offers a more powerful light energy output than any other comparably sized panel of the same size.

You can use the convenient tabletop stand for hands-free comfort. 

 

BIOMAX 450

Increasing the treatment area, the BIOMAX 450 can be used for targeted treatments as well as hair regrowth, chronic low back or shoulder pain, diabetic foot neuropathy, and knee pain, especially for pain in both knees, since the panel is large enough that you can treat both knees simultaneously. This panel can treat the torso or the lower body at its maximum light output of 180 mW/cm2 at 6” from the device.

The BIOMAX 450 is best used while seated since it’s intended for spot treatments and relatively targeted areas such as the knees, scalp, or shoulders. You can use the convenient tabletop stand for hands-free comfort. 

 

BIOMAX 600

The next step up in size and power is the BIOMAX 600. This LED device is ideal for muscle recovery, weight loss, or for treating widespread skin conditions such as psoriasis. If you are targeting belly fat, this is a great choice since its coverage is 60” x 33” at 12” from the device. 

This light therapy panel features 190 mW/cm2 max power at 6” from the device. 

It is an excellent choice for athletes looking to speed up post-workout recovery times. It offers the ideal coverage for anyone doing targeted exercises.

 

BIOMAX 900

The largest panel in the BIOMAX lineup is the BIOMAX 900. At 202 mW/cm2 maximum light output at 6” from the device, this incredibly powerful panel is intended for full-body treatment. 

Use the BIOMAX 900 to treat widespread inflammation, nerve pain, and to speed up recovery in multiple muscle groups simultaneously. Use it with a vertical stand or for the ultimate in comfort, mount it on a horizontal stand so you can receive treatments while lying down.

We generally recommend full-body treatment as being optimal for mitochondrial stimulation that will have holistic benefits for the body. 

 

RLT for In-Sauna Treatment 

If you are wondering whether you can enhance a sauna experience with red light therapy, the answer is yes - with the SaunaMAX PRO

This large full-body red light therapy panel is the first and only ultra-high power red/NIR therapy light specifically designed to be used in a sauna, easily withstanding temperatures of up to 150 °F/ 65 °C. 

 

Multi-Light Setups

All BIOMAX panels are modular. They can be joined to other panels to increase coverage and light output. 

Multi-light setups are ideal for red light therapy enthusiasts with larger budgets. They may be optimal for gyms or clinics that offer red light therapy as a service. A number of professional sports teams have also integrated red light therapy into their training recovery regimen.

Red Light Therapy Budget: How Much To Spend?

Which is the best panel to choose, depending on your budget? 

The current price range for a panel ranges from $659 to $1,299. 

There are also no-interest financing options during purchase for as low as $60 per month. 

Our best-selling BIOMAX panel is the BIOMAX 600. 

At $1049, this device offers near full-body treatment at a lower price tag than the BIOMAX 900. 

If you’re looking strictly for targeted applications, then the BIOMAX 300 or BIOMAX 450 are also great choices.

If you’re on a shoestring budget and want to try out red light therapy, the BIOMAX 300 is a great starter, but financing options also make the more expensive panels very economical on a monthly basis.  

Another consideration for purchasing a panel is its convenience as well as its helping you avoid the need to pay for treatment at a clinic in perpetuity. 

FSA tax deductions can also be used to help fund the purchase of a red light therapy device as well. 

 

BIOMAX Series for Optimal Treatment 

The BIOMAX Series offers the most power, quality, versatility, and treatment options. 

From targeted applications to full-body coverage, these modular panels are a smart investment in your health and well-being!
