Light at specific red and near-infrared wavelengths is clinically proven to trigger a physiological healing response in the body.
Since the Nobel Prize-winning work of Niels Finsen in 1903, the effects of Red Light Therapy have been well documented in thousands of peer-reviewed studies, including extensive NASA research (see references at bottom of page).
Red light therapy works by stimulating your body's natural self-healing process.
The FlexBEAM offers a targeted application of red and infrared light, which works directly where it's needed and also generates vital systemic effects for the whole body.
Red Light triggers the mitochondria to produce more Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), and Nitric Oxide (NO), all crucially involved in the body's healing process.
Asked Questions
Is the FlexBeam safe?
The FlexBEAM is safe to use in most situations but there are instances when you need to be careful. Consult your healthcare practitioner prior to use if you: are pregnant, are currently undergoing chemo/radiotherapy with active cancerous tumors, have thrombo-embolism or bleeding, have any acute systemic infections, have a heart condition.
Does the FlexBeam feel hot to the skin? Does it hurt?
Some users report a gentle warm feeling on their skin when using the FlexBeam. Using the FlexBeam does not hurt and will not burn your skin.
How can red/infrared light therapy help me?
RLT has been documented to help with reducing inflammation and delayed-onset muscle soreness, boosting muscle performance and reducing recovery time, relieving pain, improving circulation, increasing your body’s natural ability to heal itself, and much more. Because it works at the cellular level, RLT helps your cells do whatever they need to be doing. For more information, please see the list of research papers we made over at .
Why is the FlexBeam better than an old school red/infrared wall panel?
RLT has been around for a while in the form of wall panels. These require you to stand in front of them at a particular distance for particular effects. FlexBeam conforms to the body to reach places that a wall panel can not. Is is placed on the skin and delivers a standardized dose of red and infrared light every time you use it. It can be worn using velcro straps, allowing you to go about your day while you take advantage of RLT.

How is the FlexBeam different from an infrared sauna?

The FlexBeam emits red and near-infrared light at wavelengths of 625nm-635nm and 810nm-850nm respectively. In contrast, infrared saunas typically use far-infrared light at longer wavelengths (above 3000nm) so their effect comes from the heat output rather than the light output.
