What is Lumaflex and Red Light Therapy?

Lumaflex is a company that manufactures portable, flexible, FDA-cleared red light therapy devices. We offer ultralight, flexible wraps that can be used at home, work, or while traveling, making red light therapy more accessible than traditional bulky equipment.

Red Light Therapy (RLT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular healing. The therapy works by penetrating the skin to increase blood flow, boost energy production (ATP) in cells, and trigger natural healing processes. This helps reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and accelerate tissue repair.

What products do you offer?

We offer FDA-cleared portable red light therapy devices based on NASA-inspired technology. Our main products include the Lumaflex Body Pro (our core device) and the more affordable Lumaflex Essential(priced at $399), which is designed for speedy 10-minute treatments.

Our devices are unique because they're wearable, flexible, and durable. They're built with 45 dual-chip LEDs ensuring exceptional luminous efficiency and powerful light output. Our red light therapy devices feature built-in timers and are sweatproof, making them perfect for athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

All our devices use both red light (630nm) and near-infrared light (850nm) wavelengths to simultaneously treat surface concerns like wrinkles and deeper issues like chronic pain and stiffness.

What is the difference between The Essential and The Body Pro?

Price
The Lumaflex Essential is more affordable at $399, while the Body Pro is priced at $689.


Design & Features
Both devices are flexible, wearable, and FDA-cleared, but they have different specifications. The Essential is the world's First FDA-cleared portable and flexible red light therapy wrap with a lightweight design focused on daily, on-the-go use.
The Body Pro is sweat-proof, has an extra spare replaceable battery and comes with a Bluetooth connected app for specific customized setting control (like higher light frequency) that offers comprehensive treatment and is intended for more intensive use.


Treatment Time
The Lumaflex Essential is specifically designed for speedy 10-minute treatments, making it ideal for quick sessions. The Body Pro may be intended for longer, more intensive therapy sessions.


Target Users
The Essential is ideal for those wanting targeted therapy without having to hold the device, perfect for everyday users with specific pain points. The Body Pro is more suited for serious athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and those requiring more comprehensive recovery solutions.


Both models use red and near-infrared light technology to accelerate recovery and optimize health, but the Body Pro are positioned as the premium option with enhanced features for those who need more extensive therapy.

Does it help relieve pain?

Yes, Lumaflex devices are specifically designed to help relieve pain through red light therapy.

Both the Lumaflex Essential and Body Pro models are FDA-cleared for pain relief. The devices are designed to reduce inflammation, ease muscle and joint pain, and accelerate recovery through red and near-infrared light therapy.

Clinical studies show that Lumaflex's red light therapy technology can help with various types of pain including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic pain, inflammation, tendinitis, carpal tunnel, fibromyalgia, and more.

The technology works by stimulating blood flow and energy production (ATP) in the cells of the targeted area. This reduces pain and inflammation while triggering the body's natural healing processes to help damaged tissues repair themselves.

Our products provide "instant pain relief" with "proven results within 6 weeks time" when used regularly. They're particularly effective for back and joint discomfort, muscle soreness, and recovery from injuries.

What is the shipping ETA?

For US customers, we process all orders within one business day. After processing, standard shipping delivers your Lumaflex device within 6-14 business days.

For optimal results, we recommend using your Lumaflex device consistently, ideally 10-20 times per week for 10-20 minutes each day. Short daily treatments are more effective than longer sessions done less frequently.
