Which Lumara Red Light Therapy Device Should You Choose?
Choose the Lumara VISO Mask if your main interest is facial red light therapy and you want something hands-free. It uses 470 micro-LEDs and 660nm red light, with treatment sessions ranging from 5 to 20 minutes.
Choose a Lumara Pad when you want the device to sit directly against a targeted area such as the back, shoulder, knee, abdomen, or feet. The pads combine 635nm red light with 830nm and 940nm infrared wavelengths and come in several sizes.
Choose an Illuminate Panel when you want broader coverage or plan to use the same device on both the face and body. The Illuminate V2 uses 1,800 LEDs and is designed to deliver a large treatment area in a five-minute session.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Lumara device is best for me?
The VISO Mask is made specifically for the face. A Lumara Pad is better for targeted areas of the body, while an Illuminate Panel makes the most sense when you want to cover larger areas or use one device for both face and body treatments.
Why does the Lumara VISO have so many LEDs?
The VISO uses 470 closely spaced micro-LEDs to distribute red light across the full face, including areas that may receive less coverage from masks with fewer or more widely spaced bulbs.
Does the Lumara VISO use near-infrared light?
No. The VISO uses 660nm red light. Lumara’s body pads use a combination of red and infrared wavelengths, so the available wavelengths depend on the device.
How long are Lumara red light therapy sessions?
The VISO offers sessions from 5 to 20 minutes. The Illuminate V2 is designed around a five-minute treatment, while Lumara recommends longer sessions for its flexible body pads. Always follow the directions for the exact device you are using.
Is the Lumara VISO FDA cleared?
Yes. Lumara states that the VISO is FDA registered and FDA 510(k) cleared as a Class II medical device.
