How to Choose the Right Red Light Therapy Device for Your Clinic or Gym

How to Choose the Right Red Light Therapy Device for Your Clinic or Gym

Red light therapy is becoming a core offering in many modern clinics, gyms, and recovery studios — and for good reason. It's evidence-based, non-invasive, and versatile enough to support pain relief, muscle recovery, skin health, and more.

But as the market grows, so do the device options. From handheld panels to full-body beds, choosing the right equipment for your business can feel overwhelming.

This guide will help you understand what matters most so you can invest in the right red light therapy device for your commercial space.

1. Define Your Use Case

Start by identifying how your clients or patients will use the device. Key considerations:

• High-traffic recovery clinics or performance gyms may require a full-body bed that can handle multiple sessions per day with minimal setup.

• Physiotherapy clinics or allied health settings may benefit more from mid-sized vertical panels that target specific pain points.

• Boutique wellness studios offering beauty and skin treatments may prefer compact, surface-mounted panels for flexibility and aesthetics.

2. Prioritise Power and Coverage

The effectiveness of red light therapy comes down to irradiance (power density) and treatment area.

• Irradiance should be at least 100 mW/cm² at the treatment distance to ensure optimal results.

• Look for even light distribution across a large surface area to reduce treatment times and cover more of the body.

At Redvella, our GlowPanel Pro and GlowPanel M2 Commercial series are engineered with high-output LED arrays to deliver clinical-grade results, even during short sessions.

3. Choose the Right Wavelengths

For commercial outcomes, you want devices that include both red and near-infrared wavelengths:

• Red light (633–660nm): Targets skin, circulation, collagen production

• Near-infrared (810–850–940nm): Penetrates deeper to reach muscles, joints, and tissues

All Redvella panels and beds use multi-wavelength output to maximise therapeutic coverage across all tissue layers.

4. Consider Space, Mounting and Mobility

Depending on your setup, you'll want to think about how the device integrates into your space:

• Vertical mobile panels are ideal for gyms or physiotherapy rooms where flexibility is key

• Wall-mounted units save space and suit clinics offering targeted treatments

• Full-body beds are best for dedicated recovery studios or commercial spaces with high patient volume

Redvella offers adjustable stand options and custom cutout solutions to suit all types of commercial environments.

5. Reliability, Warranty, and Support

Investing in commercial equipment means you need long-term performance and support. Look for:

• Commercial-grade construction and component quality

• At least a 3–5 year warranty

• Ongoing technical support and replacement part access

• Optional custom branding for a professional, white-labelled experience

Every Redvella commercial unit includes a 5-year warranty, dedicated support, and the option for custom-branded equipment on request.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the right red light therapy device for your clinic or gym is more than just comparing specs. It's about finding a solution that matches your treatment goals, workflow, and space — while delivering measurable results for your clients.

Whether you're just adding red light therapy to your services or expanding into full-body treatment zones, Redvella has a professional-grade solution to suit your needs.
