I used this only a handful of times for an injury. It retails for $179 and is made by LED Technologies. All of their products are FDA cleared and this device has the same wavelengths that are used in most studies showing the multiple benefits of red light therapy.
The Most Flexible Light Therapy Device
The dpl® Flex Pad is an FDA-cleared, OTC Class II medical device for pain relief. This flexible system can be used anywhere on the body. Unlike a heating pad, infrared light therapy works below the skin’s surface reaching deep into tissues, stimulating cells, and increasing circulation to target pain at the source. Experience how 60 medical-grade infrared and red lights can safely stimulate blood circulation, relax muscles, accelerate healing, and relieve pain. Feel better in just 20 minutes, right in your own home!
Features and benefits of the dpl® Flex Pad include:
Soft neoprene material allows for flexibility of application to a variety of body parts
Deeper penetration than alternative options like heating pads offer, resulting in deep-tissue cell stimulation that targets pain at the source
Adjustable straps to fit around the shoulder, lower back, legs, and nearly any other place on the body
Two types of LED lights for surface-level and deep-tissue treatment
Natural, prescription-free relief from inflammation, swelling, stiffness, soreness, muscle spasms, joint aches, arthritis pain and stiffness, and more
Increased blood circulation so cells can recover and reproduce faster
Cordless operation with a rechargeable battery that allows free mobility (full charge typically yields two to three 20-minute treatments)
FDA-Cleared LEDs
The dpl® Flex Pad includes two types of LED lights — red and infrared. These LEDs are the same FDA-cleared lights professional physical therapists use in the office. Red light operates close to the skin’s surface to energize cells, while infrared light penetrates further for deep-tissue relief from pain and soreness. Both red and infrared LEDs are UV-free and safe to use.
Be aware that infrared light is invisible to the human eye. It may look like some of the lights are not working, but if you can see the red lights working, the infrared lights are also on.
