Red Light Therapy Pads & Wraps

Red light therapy pads and wraps put red and near infrared LEDs right against one area of the body, such as the lower back, a knee, or a shoulder, instead of lighting you from across the room. They are flexible, portable, and the most affordable way into red light at home.

Pads, Wraps, and Face-and-Body Devices

Flexible pads

The Lumara Pad wraps around a joint or muscle and runs three wavelengths at every LED position: 635nm red, 830nm near infrared, and 940nm. It comes in four sizes, from 11 x 11 inches up to 12 x 30 inches, so you can match it to the area you want to cover.

Strap-on wraps

The iReliev FullGlow back wrap straps around the lower back or waist and combines red and near infrared light. It is the lowest-cost entry into the FullGlow range and suits buyers focused on one specific area.

Face and body in one device

The VersaDome Pro works as a dome that sits above the face for even coverage, then converts into a flexible pad for the back, abdomen, or legs. It has 1,998 LEDs, split between 660nm red and 850nm near infrared.

Pads vs Panels

Because a pad sits on or near the skin, it delivers light to a small area without the distance a panel needs, and you can sit, read, or relax during a session. A panel covers more of the body at once but takes wall or floor space. Many people start with a pad for one area, then add a panel if they want broader coverage.

Using a Pad or Wrap Safely

Follow the session time in the manual, keep the device clean and dry, and do not use it over broken skin. Research on red and near infrared light is ongoing, and claims vary in how well they are supported; see our research and studies page. These devices are not a treatment for any medical condition. Check with a clinician first if you are pregnant, photosensitive, or take light-sensitizing medication.

Frequently Asked Questions About Red Light Pads and Wraps

Do red light pads need to touch the skin?

Pads and wraps are designed to rest on or very close to the area you are covering. Follow your device's guidance on placement and whether to use it over clothing.

What size red light pad do I need?

Choose a size that covers the area you plan to use it on most. Smaller pads suit a knee or elbow; longer pads suit the back or thigh.

Can I use a red light wrap while sitting or lying down?

Yes. Pads and wraps are made for use while seated or lying down, which is one of their main advantages over a standing panel.
