Wha does this do? Is it tanning? Isn’t this dangerous?
@@jenxsj3902it's not tanning and it is safe.
@@Toniitony haha, fair enough. Accents are funny things aren't they?! Fortunately the YT captions picked it up as 'panel'.
Hi Alex, I love your content. I have had a JOOVV since they first came out and still use it to this day. I wish to upgrade to a 4 panel Biomax 900 and stand. I went to your link but cant see any discount associated with it. Am I correct to read that there is a discount by going through via your link?
Thanks Alex 😊
Thank you for making these videos. Super helpful
Glad you like them!
Great comprehensive video. Thanks 🙏🏻
Glad it was helpful!
You convinced me. I ordered the MITO Pro 300
Enjoy!
Well I ordered the biomax 300 and wanted to thank you for all you do. I was one of those people who got pulled in to buy a $9000 perfectio X red light therapy hand unit by Zero Gravity. There is no real firm data on its effectiveness. However, I have to say that I was scheduled to have hand surgery on a trigger finger and decided to use my unit on my hand and surprise. I don't have a trigger finger any longer.
Ah awesome stuff!
Thank you for all the time you take with your reviews. I’ve been watching every single one. I ended up buying 2 platinum biomax 900 based on all your data.
Glad you like them! Enjoy the Biomax panels. They are my go to products :)
How did it work out for you?
Very informative video! I'm so happy I found you. Thank you!
Glad you're here!
Hey Alex. You have a great conversational quality to your presentation and your indepth testing and information is top notch. I recommend your channel to anyone who is interested in red light therapy. Keep up the good work.
Wow thank you, hearing this made me smile :) I failed English studies at high school - and now I make a living writing blogs and doing presentations on youtube!
I second the compliments! Thank you Alex! 💪🤩
So glad I found this channel; any suggestions for panels that could work for when you’re lying down?
Hey, The Biomax panels combined with this stand - th-cam.com/video/3-dRsyFbRbY/w-d-xo.html
And I'm glad you found me :) Welcome!
I really appreciate your knowledgeable reviews. I was wondering if you'll be reviewing the hooga Ultra360?
Hi Alex! Great review. Thank you so much.. Regarding Mito full body coverage you could pair MitoPRO 750+ and MitoPRO 1500+ and it will give you a nice full body coverage (depending on your height)
Yes you can! Though you will have some 'dead zone' issues as seen here - th-cam.com/video/g0uZ-prIvPc/w-d-xo.html
My god, such a detailed review! So very useful, thank you Alex!
Thanks :) I do try :)
Alex I purchased the MitoRed 1500 thanks to you and your videos. I had a Joov which stopped working under 3 years. Very pleased with my purchase and it’s much more powerful than Joov. Thanks for all you do!
What differences have u noticed from using the MitoRed? I also have the joovv panel hanging on my door.
No problem. Did Joovv help out with the broken panel?
Are you happy with your MitoRed? 2 of my 4 Joov panels went out and it’s probably not worth the price of shipping and the repair cost to replace them.
What does it do? I am lost.
I just purchased 8th generation 900 biomax really excited
Great, consider joining my facebook group to share your journey. facebook.com/groups/lighttherapyinsiders
Big Help...Thank you.
Wow, that's excellent. This kind of product that is good for the body should be vigorously promoted
:)
Yes that is what the medical industry fears. They don’t want ppl to know because it takes away from their cash cow. Red light therapy not only helps your skin. It heals.
BOOOOOOOOOOMMM! Great stuff Alexxxx
:)
I too am from Canada. Purchased one MitoPro 1500 and on top of the shipping was hit with $218 duty. But I was expecting it as Canada Customs can smell a nickel a mile away.
Lol they're good at their jobs thats for sure!
Any benefits ? How often do u use it?
Great info, thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for all this amazing information. I have fallen into the rabbithole of all your videos this week. I have narrowed my final 2 to: MitoPro+ or the RedRush 840 Pulse. It seems they are pretty comparable. I am just looking for that extra nudge in the right direction. Which one would you chose if you had to chose? Thank you in advance.
MItoRed mito Pro :)
Thank you very much. My husband and I are grandparents and are interested in the panels for ultimate healing and low EMF output.
Hey, check this out - th-cam.com/video/FFCrl11AIbY/w-d-xo.html
My tip for discerning which company is trustworthy and has good customer service: check if they disclose real address on their website. If they hide it from clients, it's for a good reason! How can you chase them if they don't return your emails or calls?
If you are in UK, on top of delivery fee, you will be charged extra 20% duty tax on your delivery as you are privately importing goods from abroad.
Hey yes great recommendation!
Invaluable insights Thank you!
You are welcome!
Great information! Any suggestions on the best set up for including this in a massage therapy session? I was torn between a belt vs a panel. My concern with the panel is that I typically have the client covered, so there won’t be much skin exposure for there light to be a benefit. Thanks!
Skin needs to be exposed: th-cam.com/video/jAiG0mlpy98/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vpEbRYiewUlLV6gZ
Pretty clear that you like the biomaxx 900 that was the one that I was shopping for, so I’m glad about that ! How many would you recommend for full body coverage with a horizontal stand? Thank you.

Hi Alex! I’m new to all of your videos but I find them to seem very credible. As I watch your buyer’s guide info, I’m completely overwhelmed with choices. Is there any chance you can recommend the best quality option for me for a small (mini?) panel to simply work on anti-aging and maybe targeting areas, but under $300.? I realize that’s very low end, but that is around where I wish to start before I delve further into this technology.
That’s a good budget to start. Check out the videos below or consider joining my facebook group for other members suggestions. facebook.com/groups/lighttherapyinsiders

Love the video. I want to get a biomax 900. But was wondering if them or other companies have good sales for Black Friday or cyber Monday. Then it could be worth the wait if there is a nice discount. Would be a interesting video the best time of year to buy a panel or when’s the best discounts on panels.
I was wondering the same. Would love to know which brands if any have been known to do discounts during Black Friday or cyber Monday. There are only 2 brands I’m interested in so would love to know so I could just buy now if they typically don’t do discounts. The 2 brands I’m interested in is Mito Red or Platinum LED.
Biomax is having $100.00 off until July 31st. You are putting off improving your health! I love my bio max! I am sleeping much better and it has helped with a brain injury from car accident
Hey, there's no standard here - some years some companies have massive discounts, other years they do nothing. I'd say though there will be some discounts going around come Black Friday.
Otherwise jump in my FB group - facebook.com/groups/lighttherapyinsiders - as often I get given exclusive discounts and I share them in there.
Great video, Alex! Have you tested the Mitolight brand? I have bought the smaller panels with MitoRed and love them, I now live in Europe, and this new brand, MitoLight popped up; they are not the same brand. Do you know if one is better than the other?
Looking forward to your insights.
Thanks again Alex!
Hey! I haven't no, but I am going to be reviewing one pretty soon. Their products look good on paper. There are a couple of companies based in the EU (CytoLED, LuminousRed etc) I have a reviewed a few of these and actually have a video coming out comparing all the European options :)
@@AlexFergusdotcomthat would be great! Very interested in the EU (continental) options as well. Because as good as the USA options are when you have to add shipping+taxes, perhaps better get a larger panel with similiar specs from an EU based company 🤷🏻♀️
Which would you recommend to treat post Herpetic neuralgia pain in the face? If it till work for the body as well it would be great. Thank you!
Oh I'm not to sure about this one. Why don't you leave a post in our FB group and my team will help out - facebook.com/groups/lighttherapyinsiders
Great video! Do you recommend any of the mobile ones that come in the shape of belts or wraps ? Or must it be a panel ? I travel a lot and looking for something to help with my joint pain.
I did a review one the Mito Red belt. Consider joining my facebook group, lots of people in that group are using them : th-cam.com/video/wHAvcwG7RLQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ELAVzM602ItOmey4
Thank you for your informative reviews! My husband needs a home red light therapy device to combat trismus, damaged accessory and hypoglossal nerves (which, among other things, causes intense tongue pain and fasciculations of tongue and neck), fibrosis, and an internal ulcer (which hasn't healed in the 4 years since treatment ended) in the area of his left tonsil. All of this damage stems from radiation treatment for tonsil cancer. We are debating among the Red Reactive R1, BioMax 300 or 450, and MitoAdapt Min or Mid. Which would you recommend? Does the 940nm wavelength offered by the Red Reactive offer any additional benefits?
Hey. Oh wow that sounds horrible.
Sorry I'm not familiar with this condition.
Here is what I would recommend:
1. Have a look at this research database - aferg.co/lllt-studies - and do a search for the condition
2. Make a post in our FB group - facebook.com/groups/lighttherapyinsiders as there may be others who have experience with this.
3. Check out our guides on the LTI site - www.lighttherapyinsiders.com/tag/science/
940nm isn't very common/popular. I wouldn't be bothered if the device I purchased didn't have 940nm.
Hi Alex, thanks for the vaulable content! I'm ready to get my first red light panel and am interested in the new Mito Light (Europe) Expert 4.0 panel. Can you please take a look and let me know if you would recommend this one for a beginner? Thanks and cheers from Sweden!
Hey, yes it looks good. I have just updated my shopping tool with the specs of the MitoHacker panel. And I will be reviewing their smaller panel soon as well products.lighttherapyinsiders.com/
They are also running a 10% off special until the 28th of Nov with code ALEXBF - otherwise code ALEX will save you 5%
What do you recommend for a boot up to covering my calf? I have nerve damage in that area.
halogen lamp with 1000w cost 15$ emit all wavelengths (like the sun) why no use that?
I heal my exzema with an cheap infrared heater (also all wavelengths)
So what is the advantage of LED against filament bulbs and filament infrared heaters?
As I know (might be wrong tho) LED is not heating, so you can bring them super close to seven to penetrate better. Bulb lamps can heat, so they are more used in red saunas. But again, I might be wrong on that
Hi Alex. I am interested in purchasing the Infraredi Mini but I 15:19 am conflicted between the Flex and the Pro. The Pro does not have the 810 wavelength but has a remote. Am mainly interested in skin improvement and arthritis. Would appreciate your advice. Thanks..Diane 16:02
Hi alex, started my curiosity about red light therapy. been watching ur vids and let me tell u, all of your vids were really very informative. I know based on your studies platinum led is so far number one. I have two questions: 1. how important is irradiance that its must be 100w/cm2 ? 2nd have u had a review for mychondria led?
Thanks.
Thank you :)
Irradiance - it's important to a point, but more is not always better.
Mychrondia - yes I have heard of them, but am yet to review them. Soon i Hope!
Hi Alex. I am interested in purchasing the Infraredi Mini bit am conflicted between the Flex and the Pro. The Pro does not have the 810 wavelength but has a remote. Am mainly interested in skin improvement and arthritis. Would appreciate your advice 15:11 . Thanks..Diane
Great informative videos! I'm in Australia and bang for buck i'm thinking of going with the Infraredi Pro Max with 4 panels. I have a private remedial therapy clinic which i was also thinking of letting my clients have use of the lights (for a fee). What is this company like for customer service? Also, how do you/I test for the NIR if it's working or not, if we can't see it? Do you know of any online courses that i can do so i can at least have a certificate in recommending general use of these panels to my clients?
hey! Sorry for not responding sooner.
Infraredi are run by a good team. They are based in QLD, Australia as well so that will help.
Test for NIR - typically you can see a slight red glow in the chips. Or you can turn the red off and just run NIR and if you feel a little bit of warmth after a 10min session you will know it's working.
Online courses - I do! And there are some coming up in Aussie and NZ later this year. I'll be going to one of them myself. You can see them here - www.thorlaser.com/courses/index-AU.php

We have just about overdosed on RLT videos trying to determine which one to buy. Your buyer's guide is great but again, so many choices. I think we have narrowed it down to MitoPro 1500. We are 58 years old so we are looking for some improvement in eye sight in addition to some inflammation reduction for joints as well as overall improvement in skin and energy. Is this a great choice for those uses, especially for eye sight?
I think that is a great choice.
Thank you for introducing me to this. I want to try it for my dry skin. I am curious if a 2000w LED grow light for plants with red, blue and IR light would be a good lamp for this? bloomspect 2000w led grow light. I can switch from red to blue or both on this lamp. Thanks again.
I'm not familiar with that brand sorry. Check this out though - th-cam.com/video/OtYnuSQAZAY/w-d-xo.html
Hello
A lot of information for a newcomer now I have used red light therapy. I used it for neuropathy. I use it for my back. I use it for shoulder pain and I do have red light facial massages. The one thing that no one ever talks about is when you use it on your face, it makes the hair grow quicker if you got a woman who’s tendency to have That mix of culture you can get a mustache and you can get hairs on your chin and I think that’s funny. No one‘s ever talked about that and I also have red light to make my hair grow on my head so those are the things that’s the knowledge I have and I’ve used it for skin care and paint but I want to get a larger model and of course, like everybody else budget wise Energy wise that’s what I wanna know how it uses energy and maybe something that I can use for multiple uses my handheld red light survive for years but the rectangle panel that I had I had to throw out because as much as I tried to get it to work it just went out on me, so I’m looking for something that will last over a year my hand held devices. I’ve had some of them for five years or more And that surprises me but I generally take care of my things but I think it’s the manufacturer as well quality items that they make so with that being said I need suggestions I’m on the east coast of the US I’m a 73-year-old senior who looks like she’s in her late 40s early 50s I’m not kidding about that. The red light does help infuse energy and has given me a lot of help, but now that this one’s blown out I want to get a nice decent moderately price and I’m not talking about in the high hundreds. I’m talking about something I can afford if there’s a code if there’s a sale if they resell items that are sent back I’m a candidate for that as long as the warranty works, thank you for your informative information. There’s a lot of information and I’ve saved a lot of it from TH-cam and the interviews that I’ve seen I’ve known about red light for decades because it was used for therapy. And I got my own handheld therapy lights and it was three different modes, light, medium or high.
So with that being said, if there’s anyway you can give me some information because I have an infrared therapy envelope it’s not a blanket it’s something you climb into and they only give about 20 or 30% of infrared so it’s it’s basically very light level so I’m looking for something that I can use on my feet that I can use on my shoulder and to tell you the truth I don’t have back problems because I’ve done fascia work and now with my wonderful panel that blew that blew out on me. I need to get a new one but I want something with more legitimacy of knowledge behind it. Mine cost it was on sale for $99 and it was 159 and it was a wraparound rectangle, but not very long and it had blue had two speeds not just one or what they call speed
Thank you very much for being very informative being knowledgeable and I will thank you ahead of time for your answer to me. My emails should be on my account and you can look that up. I’m scared to give it online because I’ve had hackers come after me so tell me what to do and how to do it or how to contact you if I have to repeat this. Have a lovely lovely morning day afternoon evening or whenever you get to read this , enjoy 2024 and be blessed and let’s be thankful for everything we have
Hi there.
Yeah it is clear that RLT helps with hair growth - th-cam.com/video/guku2JeieVo/w-d-xo.html
You could check out the Pod product - that may be good - th-cam.com/video/d4rhHOJR4FM/w-d-xo.html
Or a smaller tabletop panel with a stand may be a better option - th-cam.com/video/KD8bFNnSaKM/w-d-xo.html
I'm trying to decide between the Mito Red therapy full body mat and the Platinum LED Biomax 900. For the same coverage, I feel like I may have to add another Biomax later, but if it's effective for me, I'd rather get the best product. Any advice? Thanks! Great videos!
I like the panels but what you have to decide is what will work best for you. Do you want to lie down everyday, clean it (from sweat). Do you travel ab it , then it might be a good option
Hi I find your information really helpful. I live in London UK. I am thinking about the Rojo 3600. Do you think this is the best one ?
The Rojo 3600 looks amazing!
My review of the Rojo Refine panels will be out soon, in the mean time check out my mini review on FB - facebook.com/groups/lighttherapyinsiders/posts/2629274057230796/
Also, have a look at this video - th-cam.com/video/C4oYsTcaJoE/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for all the information. I am knee bone on bone . I need knee replacement. Is there anything that could avoid surgery?
RLT may help with the pain and inflammation. But it would only be a bandaid type solution. Check out BPC-157 as well
Thank you so much for the thorough and friendly explanation. I would like to get a panel that i would use while I sit in my meditation and that would cover maximum area of my body as I do so. So probably it would be two or more panels connected. I’d like something that is as minimal in its design as possible. I don’t like the large metal frames if possible. So I’d like something that looks esthetically pleasing to look when not in use and also low on sound and no emf harm. Which of the products would you recommend? Thank you for this option to ask.
Hey, maybe check out the large panels by Rojo (Rojo 3600) or Block Blue Light (Mega XL)
Hey Alex! Great video! Curious to know if your buying recommendation would change as it relates to a commercial setting? I have 8 Platinum BioMax900's (4 on each side of the body) in my boutique fitness studio (which replaced the constantly malfunctioning Joovv panels purchased several years back) and a member recently asked me if the TheraLight 360 was substantially better than our Platinums and I didn't know what to say. The criteria in this video is awesome when thinking about a home light purchase, but curious to know your view on my 8 Platinum BioMax 900's which cost me ~$10,000 USD versus a commercial bed like TheraLight 360 or Novathor which run many multiples higher in cost. Any feedback would be appreciated!
@alex, just following up. Would love to hear what you think. I also dove a little deeper and it seems the BioMax panels are actually superior in one of the most important factors--Irridiance. TheraLight touts 120 nW/cm2 while a BioMax600 is capable of 185 at 6 inches and 160 at 12 inches. I'm struggling to understand what makes the highest cost beds 10x the price when it doesn't seem like they are even as good as the Platinums.
Hey! In all honesty I have never used a bed - so i can't really comment on them, nor have I used a Theralight.
However - I dont' see any reason why a BioMax panel wouldn't be suitable for a commercial setup. The beds just offer an all in one package and can be used when laying down. Which may be an advantage for some people.
If you spent $10k on a Biomax setup, I wouldn't go out and change everything.
Also - Mito Red Light have just launched a commercial arm to their business, you can see that here - prorlt.com/
Have you heard of the company Fringe? They claim low emf and wavelengths are: 660nm (Red):850nm (Near- infrared)
64 LEDs
192W
They have a special going on right now for about $320
SAME question :)
I havenn't sorry.
Hi Alex
Have you done any research on Kala red light?
They have an option to set the frequency.
Thoughts?
Thanks.
Hey, I've only tested this product - th-cam.com/video/7hlCchKD9qE/w-d-xo.html - but they are sending me a version of their new Elite panel - so I will review that soon :)
Hi Alex. Would you know if PlatinumTherapyLights also ships in UAE? Thank you!
Hey yes I just checked on their site and it provides UAE as a shipping option : )
Any recommendations for blue and red light therapy panels? Ideally that can be run at same time to reduce treatment time
Yeah - two options - The BioMax panel (with a few blue LEDS) or the LightPath LED panels (which have a lot of blue LEDs).
Alex, I have decided to go red light therapy, but am so surprised at how confused I am. Currently, I am considering two products, but wondering if that is overkill. I want to purchase the Mito-Pro 300 for it's portability as I have an elbow injury from a fall I had about 6 months ago, but he healing process is odd and it is not back to normal yet. But at the same time I think I should purchase the Bio Max 900 as I need help with the overall look of my skin and a few muscle aches. My skin is 70 years old although my activity and appearance is younger, the skin doesn't lie. Then I think is the Bio Max 600 enough? Also I am thinking is Alex going to review a better unit and post something else that I should buy after he completes the new trials? Also the shipping for the Bio Max to Japan is over $200 US and they won't ship to the cheaper APO AP addresses (considered US Addresses).... Please give me advice...the unit would be used by me, and, of course, my face has signs of aging as well, so please advise me as I am going around in circles. Thanks.
Hi Alex, many thx for your great review. I am from Hong Kong and would like to know if there are panels that can run on 220/240 voltage, and if there are, is there any discount ongoing for them. Thanks
Hey! Yes all of them will work on 220/240 - I am in NZ and we are the same :)
The PlatinumLED BioMax sent me an email today that they are having 100.00 off until midnight July 31st
Yeah i saw that! A great deal, especially for the smaller panels :)
Hi, great vid, just bought a Helios 2 from amazon uk, not yet delivered. is it any good, i thank you in advance for your time and advice
I'm not to sure about that product sorry :(
HI. I wonder what do you think if Gleam Therapy? Planning to buy that but would love your opinion on that. This one is voted best by Forbes. Thank you for your opinion.
Hey, I have never heard of it sorry. I'll check it out.
Have you evaluated any equipment that can be used on individual areas such as shoulders, knees, wrists, ankles etc!?
Yes! This is for knees - th-cam.com/video/0hzyu1dNtf0/w-d-xo.html

Hi Alex Fergus, I would appreciate your expert advice on purchasing a high quality full body RLT or Multi panel for my Mum with Altzeimer's and mobility issues (joint/muscle pains). Looking for a RLT panel with the highest 810nm along with the highest medical/FDA class 2 wavelengths that promote bone/muscle/skin rejuvenation/healing. Watched alot of your reviews and still stumped on which to purchase. Panel size required atleast 180cm in height and 45cm wide. Located in Australia, budget of AUD$6k including a horizontal stand. Can increase budget for the right RLT panel.
Hey. For Alzheimers - check out Vielight - www.alexfergus.com/blog/does-vielight-work-vielight-science
Also - check out my interview with Dr Randy Beck (due out this week).
For joint pain - ok yes something with 810nm would be good.
You could check out Infraredi, or Block Blue Light (my review is out in a few days). They are both based in Australia and discount code ALEX will work with them.
Actually - consider the Rojo 3000 - they are also in Aussie. Two of them would be perfect. It might be slightly over your $6k budget - but I think discount code ALEX will save 5% or maybe more and bring it down into your price range. I have reviewed the 3000 here - th-cam.com/video/1slJcRMbeiI/w-d-xo.html
@@AlexFergusdotcom Really appreciate your response Alex, unfortunately Mum gets anxious with anything related to touching her head, which rules out the Vielight, therefore I'm hoping a RLT panel will benefit. Need to get the best RLT solution that will help her. Will consider your recommendations but as Black Friday is around the corner, I'll wait until then before purchase, fingers crossed one of your upcoming reviews will inform of any new panels that would be more beneficial. ps Hope your visit to Perth (my hometown) helped your son. Best Baz
Ok so what’s the difference between LEDs and lasers? 😬 I want a product for my body! I already have a celluma face panel, which I love. But I think there are better body products out there.
What are your thoughts the Magelin red light bag? I am wanting full body coverage. With the panels do you do one session on the front and then turn to get the backside? Do you use pulse or constant lights? I am looking to spend around $1600 what do you recommend? If I had panels I would need a stand so it can be used over a bed. Thanks!😀
Hey, I haven't used that - but check this out - th-cam.com/video/d4rhHOJR4FM/w-d-xo.html and also check this out - th-cam.com/video/I44ZFvo4pcg/w-d-xo.html and this as well - th-cam.com/video/6US32hF6msY/w-d-xo.html
Do you have any experience with Vital Red Light? I'm comparing their Vital Pro (given their current holiday sale) with the MitoPro+ 300 and it looks like the Vital Pro has more lights (72 vs 60 bulbs). Curious if you had any thoughts or if it's safer to go with the MitoPro
No sorry I don't :(
Great video. Just out of curiosity, do you really need the protective eyewear. I noticed many products come with the protective eyewear but most people doing reviews don’t wear them in the videos. Are they really not needed? Or is there a threshold on the amount of use before you need to worry about hurting your eyes?
Great question. We're going to an article on this soon. It will be up at www.lighttherapyinsiders.com/
I went to the link for the answer. I didn't find it. Is it up yet?
Do you cover the cheap options on amazon? like 30-60 bucks.
I haven't looked at amazong products (yet, stay tuned!) I have done this alibaba review though - th-cam.com/video/zJOHngd7PUI/w-d-xo.html
I am from Canada. I just ordered 2 panels from Mito Red, and on top of paying $68 for shipping I was hit with $280 duty fees that I was informed of after I bought it. So with the exchange rate this has ended up being sooo expensive. But I went with the Mito Red for good customer service, and I trust the company.
How do you like the mito? I am considering the 1500 or a couple of Biomax...not sure which would be best. I don't need fancy remote controls.
Hey yeah the fee's suck. I'm going to release a tool soon that will help resolve this.
@inspector - check this out - th-cam.com/video/5fRQDFVotqY/w-d-xo.html
Oh wow i forgot about customs fees.. they really get you there!! I live in canada too and ihave been looking to purchase one of these red light therapy panels so thank u fof the heads up!
@@AlexFergusdotcomReally curious about this. I am looking at the infraredi flex max as they have free shipping and that. I really fancy the Biomax900, but with the shipping and customs adding up to another $5-600 for 1 panel, its just too much.
Hi Alex Have you reviewed Block Blue Light out of Australia?
Thanks Ivan
Yes - th-cam.com/video/45JKiBqSPfo/w-d-xo.html
Does it have to be a panel? I've seen pad like blankets. Are any of those good?
Hey I'll be doing a video on this very soon! Be sure to stay tuned :)
I clicked on the link for the oncology tumor growth that brought me to the study and it wasn't in favor of the red light therapy at all. It actually read that it increased tumor growth. I've listened to a few of your videos and you are experienced in what you are doing yet. I cannot find either in your words or a topic in an article or video that could bring me to the conclusion that I could use. One of these RLT for shrinking a breast tumor. Would you be specifically helpful for me with that question I propose. Thank you
Hey Coachshere, thanks a lot for your comment! Can you tell me where you see that link? I don't seen an oncology link in the video description, nor in Alex's pinned comment. Generally, though, because of conflicting evidence (although recent evidence has been more positive), we don't recommend using red light therapy in the case of cancer, especially if you're not certain whether the cancer has metastasized or might do so. And, we recommend covering any cancerous area up, and only treating after the physician has OKed red light therapy. I'm very sorry about the situation, and the breast tumor!

Can you offer any suggestions on distance or time, anything at all for my situation? I had full neck fusion snd want to heal my neck as it fuses - distance and time, is there such a thing as too much time? I started using it on my incision about week 2 snd its looking grest so fsr !!!!♡ hooga pro 300
I really wish I could, but it's such a confusing topic a lot of it comes down to guess work and experimentation.
And yes there is too much - you can over do it.
If you have the 300 pro - do 10mins at around 6 inches 4-5x a week on each body area you want to treat. Start with that and see how you go.
Hi Alex I’m looking at the Hooga hg300 or the gembared groove. They seem pretty similar. What are your thoughts and recommendations? I’m looking for a panel to help low back pain. Sleep and skin anti-aging. TIA!
Hey, I haven't tested the Groove. I have a few reviews on Hooga products and they are good. The Gembared panels are not as powerful as the Hooga.

I am looking for red light for beauty purposes, specifically my face, neck and chest. I was going to get the biomax tabletop. Is it worth it to put some extra money into it and get the bigger one? Will it still effectively treat my face?
Hi, Justine!
I’m looking into RLT for the same purposes, and honestly, if it’s in your budget and you plan to continue RLT long term (I definitely would!), I feel it would be worth it to invest in a full-body unit.
My rationale is that the beautifying/rejeuvenating effects of RLT can be quite dramatic, so I want to avoid having specific areas that look more youthful and radiant that are in stark contrast to the more aged-looking areas that haven’t received regular treatment.
Not to mention, the additional benefits of RLT are amazing, so why not get those results from head to toe?
Good luck on your search, and here’s to great results and overall better health!
I'm looking at the Nebula brand devices on Amazon. Good price for me here in the UK but cannot find any reviews on YT. I looks pretty decent but I'm hesitant to take the plunge as it will be my first panel and I'm on a budget
Hey sorry I have no idea about this rband.
Does the one that come with NIR make you feel as hot as sunlight?
No. there is only a small amount of heat being emitted/felt.
Have you reviewed Koze at all? Have used a 4 panel set up for a year now and am curious if I'm using the right gear..
Not yet sorry :(
I bought Joovv before I knew anything about red light therapy. Huge mistake. After I found Alex. I bought Mitored light panels.
Hey, yeah the Joovv panels are quite overpriced and lacking in a few areas. A shame really - their first gen panels were really good at the time.
Hi - I cannot find any reviews on LightStim. I was looking at their ProPanel, it is crazy expensive, but a practitioner I trust advised that they are the best...in part because of the close proximity can get to the panel. Thoughts? Are there other comparable articulated panels on stands that would work for face, or other areas of the body treated when lying down (scars across thorax, knee, ankle etc.?
Hey, sorry I have no experience with LightStim.
You could check out the Biomax 300 and partner it up with their moveable arm stand - th-cam.com/video/BtQh317OFZs/w-d-xo.html
Hi Alex - appreciate your great info. Are you familiar with the Streamlet Red Light Therapy Device for Face, Body, Dual Chip Clinical 60 LED Combo 660nm 850nm (300W)? Also, in the ads on Amazon for this it shows people using it without goggles. Do I need to wear goggles when using this? I have eye strain and read maybe red light would be beneficial, but obviously do not want to damage my eyes if it is not safe. What are your thoughts? I did buy this last month. Thank you!
No I'm not sorry. I try and use goggles when facing the panel. We will have some content on eye health & RLT due out soon.
What’s the best led or lowest we Shiism aim for if on a budget? Is 80 leds too low?
80 is fine. I mean you could even get a small handheld bulb with 12 LEDs and still get a good result (Check out the Hooga Health options for this).
Tthanks Alex
No worries :)
Hi Alex. I am interested in purchasing the Infraredi Mini but I 15:19 am conflicted between the Flex and the Pro. The Pro does not have the 810 wavelength but has a remote. Am mainly interested in skin improvement and arthritis. Would appreciate your advice 15:11 . Thanks..Diane
What did you decide on?
Hey Alex what would be the best red light machine for arthritis I have a Lotta arthritis in my body
Hey, I'm sorry to hear about this. Firstly - jump into this group - facebook.com/groups/lighttherapyinsiders/ - as there are a few people who suffer from Arthritis in there. Otherwise you really just need something with both red and NIR light (660 and 850nm) at a good power level - this covers most panels today. Then you need something that is easy to use and easy to hit the problematic spots. You may actually find a smaller handheld device that you can move around is better suited to a large panel for instance. I will have a video coming out in a few days that will help you with this decision making process so stay tuned for that :)
I currently have two of the first version of the Mito Mega (300 LEDs each) and one of the same style Mito min (60 LED unit) in my setup. Would you say that it would be worth the cost ($2600) to upgrade all of those panels to the newer MitoPro units?
There is nothing wrong with those original panels. I had amazing results with my first gen RLT panels many years ago.
If you have the money and want to upgrade, then sure, go for it. But don't feel like you have to.
Hi Alex, i noticed on your blog that you are going to do a feature on dental health, will that be published any time soon?
I've tried the Primal Life Organics light, which you insert into the mouth, but that just gives me a jaw ache after a minute or so...
Also, i've been looking at the McLaren Photonic Torch, which looks like a good fit for improving dental health in a convenient & comfortable way... Do you have any experience with this device..?
Hey, I haven't got around to that but we will cover it on our new site (launching very soon!)
I haven't heard of those other devices, I'm going to check them out. Sorry I don't have more insight in regards to dental treatment. I can say though that I have noticed massive dental health improvements just by using my panel. Check this out - th-cam.com/video/M6HrEJALT18/w-d-xo.html
I have the older model Primal Life red/blue led light dental device. It’s lightweight as it just has the dongles that plug into your phone for power. Call and ask if they can send you one of those instead?
Hey I’m about to get the biomax 600. Curious, can you turn off the blue wavelength and just use the red? Or maybe choose which wavelengths individually, mix and match , like maybe I only want to use 630 and 810 one day, and different combinations another day?
Yes you can turn off the blue LEDs. You can change the output of the Red and or the NIR wavelengths, but not individual wavelengths. Check this out - th-cam.com/video/uzNKnfrWG2Q/w-d-xo.html
Any recommendation in the red light sauna blankets?
Yup - this - th-cam.com/video/d4rhHOJR4FM/w-d-xo.html
Hi Alex, whats your opinion on buying a used red light?
Good q - I have never really thought about this. It should be fine though, check this out - th-cam.com/video/vJeIinw4nXw/w-d-xo.html
Have you reviewed the Kala lights?
There is this - th-cam.com/video/7hlCchKD9qE/w-d-xo.html
and I have the Kala elite review coming out soon.
What do you think of the Beauty Angel standing booth?
Here we go - th-cam.com/video/EXTY9vA70gw/w-d-xo.html
Thx. Do the sleeping bag/blanket types work for whole body. Seems like a hassle and expensive to spin around and buy 4 lights to go tall and wide?
Many people like the blanket device. Here's my review:th-cam.com/video/d4rhHOJR4FM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=E4jMGpy2xZt2cSBS
I’ve been looking at the Kala Elite, can’t justify the 3200 for the elite duo, but that would be a lot better for full body. Was going to get a good full size red light mat, but they don’t look as durable to me as a solid panel.
Got a review coming in May
Hi Alex The hooga and mitoPro models both have 630nm, 660nm, 830nm, 850nm. is this what you mean by 4 wavelengths? Thx
Correct yes :)
Hey Alex, great video. I have a question about the wavelength. The base wavelengths are 660nm and 850nm. If I have a panel that includes additional wavelengths such as 630nm, 660nm, 670nm, 810nm, 830nm, and 850nm, does this mean that there are fewer LEDs emitting 660nm and 850nm? My understanding is that each LED can only emit one wavelength. Panels with more wavelengths have almost the same number of LEDs at the same size. Therefore, more wavelengths actually mean less energy dedicated to 660nm and 850nm. So, I gain more benefits overall, but not as pronounced benefits as those specifically from 660nm and 850nm for the same period of use. Am I correct?
Hey. Yes that is correct :)
THOUGH - there are now panels that have dual, triple or quad chip LED lenses - so one 'LED' actually does have more than one wavelength. Mito Red Light offer panels like this (check out my review of the Mito Adapt - th-cam.com/video/8CV645EOsdg/w-d-xo.html )
BUT - just because you get more wavelengths, it doesn't mean you get more light energy. In fact - the most powerful panel on the market is a single chip BioMax panel.
I hope this helps :)
@@AlexFergusdotcom
I understand, thanks for the response
Everybody is talking about panels, but I want to use the red light therapy for gut health issues. I have seen red light therapy belts for sale that can wrap around the abdomen. Do you know anything about these products? Or do you know a way to use a flat panel for gut health? The only way I can think of is to use a small panel and hold it against the left side and then the right side of the abdomen.
My secondary use would be for skin improvements on the face.
You could do that with a table top panel but generally 6 to 12 inches away from a panel will still allow penetration. I have reviewed one belt here: th-cam.com/video/wHAvcwG7RLQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=agHZmLntsyKkCjMW
I bought a table top Mito red light panel for my face. I love it, but I do wish I also had a red light face mask for ease of use, but I don’t think the face mask ones (e.g. Dr. Dennis Gross $500 mask) are as efficacious as the standing panels. Do you know of any red light face masks that are actually worth the money?
I mean it depends on your situation - some people prefer the convenience of having a mask - so they can move around and not be stuck in front of a panel. I do like the Jovs 4D mask - but it is pricey. th-cam.com/video/883kYrq2leI/w-d-xo.html
Do you think Bon Charge (formerly Blu Blox) offer good red light devices?
There are much better options. Chcek out my reviews for more.
