Mask –

It is widely used in aesthetic clinics, especially in facial procedures that target skin imperfections. As to how often and how long will the procedures be, it depends on the skin condition and overall assessment of the skin doctor.
Wand –
This is one of the most versatile and handy forms of red light device. Just like the typical wand, it can be easily held in one hand while moving or directing it towards the target areas of the body.

The delivery of red light is more efficient that other devices that emit red light for the reason that the panel can be mounted easily on the desired place such as on the wall or place on the table. It comes in various sizes making it flexible to use in various industries, with the small ones used on the face and the bigger sizes are used on larger areas of the body.
Bed –
This is the biggest of all red light therapy as it is similar to that of a tanning bed. It is perfect to use in cases where a large area of the body needs to be exposed to red light. You can lie down comfortable while the red light session is ongoing.
