Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before choosing your InfraHeal device.
Choosing a device
Which InfraHeal device is right for me?
It depends on how much of your body you want to cover and how you prefer to use it:
- Red light therapy panels stand upright and light the front or back of your body. Best for full-body sessions while standing or seated. Shop panels
- The Red Light Mat lies flat, so you can relax lying down. View the Mat
- The Red Light Pod wraps around your front and back at the same time, like a sleeping bag. View the Pod
- Wearables such as the Flexi Pad and JointWrap target one area at a time, like a knee, shoulder or lower back. Shop mats & wearables

What's the difference between the Mat, the Pod and the panels?
Mat and Pod: Our custom-built Mat and Pod both emit 4 powerful wavelengths of red and near-infrared light in a patent-pending design. The Mat is single-sided and lies flat under or over you. The Pod is about twice the size and wraps around your front and back at once, and it also unfolds flat so two people can use it together.
Panels: stand upright in front of you and use 7–8 science-backed wavelengths, depending on the model. They suit people who prefer standing or seated sessions, or who want to target specific areas at different distances.
All three are included on the ARTG and designed for daily use at home. Compare all devices
Which red light therapy panel should I choose?
All InfraHeal panels use 7–8 science-backed wavelengths of red and near-infrared light. The main difference is size and coverage:
- Lite: compact, for targeted areas and smaller spaces.
- Pro and Max: upper-body to full-body coverage for everyday home use. The Max is our best-selling panel.
- ELITE and ULTRA: our largest panels, for the widest full-body coverage at home or in a clinic.
Every panel page has a comparison chart, or you can compare all panels here.
What makes InfraHeal different from cheaper red light devices sold online?
Many red light devices sold online have not been assessed by any regulator. InfraHeal devices are different:
- Included on the ARTG. Our Panels, Mat and Pod are included on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (panels: ARTG 452667; Mat and Pod: ARTG 433074), the register maintained by the TGA. They are also FDA listed in the United States.
- ISO 13485 certified manufacturing. Made by a manufacturer certified to ISO 13485, the international quality standard for medical devices.
- More wavelengths. Our Panels use 7–8 science-backed wavelengths and our Mat and Pod use 4, where many generic devices use only 1 or 2.
- Australian owned and operated. Designed by an Australian team, with lifetime customer support, a 60-day guarantee and a product and parts replacement warranty.
Is a home device worth it compared with clinic sessions?
Red light therapy works best with regular, consistent use, which is hard to keep up with clinic appointments. A home device can be used every day by the whole household, with no travel or booking, for years. You can try it at home for 60 days with our guarantee, and spread the cost with Afterpay or Zip.
Using your device
How do I use it, and how long does a session take?
Most sessions take about 10 minutes per area, once a day. Use it at the same time each day, morning or evening, so it becomes part of your routine.
- Panels: position the panel at the distance recommended in your manual, switch on, set the timer and relax standing or seated. Turn around to do your back.
- Mat and Pod: lay it on a bed, couch or the floor, plug it in, switch on and set the timer. With the Pod, close it around you to cover your front and back at once.
- Wearables: wrap the Flexi Pad, Flexi Wrap or JointWrap around the area and switch on.
Light works best on bare skin, so wear minimal clothing over the area you're using it on.
Is it hard to set up?
Not at all. Every device plugs into a power point and is ready to use within minutes. Panels can sit on a base stand (available as a set) or be positioned at your preferred height. The Mat and Pod come with complimentary 10-minute morning and evening video tutorials. If you need help, our team is a quick email away at info@infrahealau.com.
How far should I stand from the panel?
Your manual and product page list the recommended distance for your panel. As a general rule, closer gives a stronger session over a smaller area, and further away gives a gentler session over a larger area. Start at the recommended distance and adjust to what feels comfortable.
When will I notice a difference?
Everyone is different. Many people say they feel relaxed after their first few sessions. Changes to skin, recovery or wellbeing build up over time, so we recommend using your device consistently for at least 4–8 weeks to see how it works for you.
Does it get hot?
You'll feel a gentle warmth, mainly from the near-infrared light, but it won't heat up like a sauna. If it feels too warm, shorten the session or add a thin layer of fabric between you and the device.
Do I need eye protection?
The light is very bright, so we recommend wearing protective glasses, especially when using a panel at close range or on your face. A pair of InfraHeal protective glasses is included with every panel order.
Can more than one person use it?
Yes. Every device can be shared by the whole household, and the Pod unfolds flat so two people can use it at the same time.
Safety & science
Is red light therapy safe?
Red and near-infrared light do not emit any harmful ultraviolet (UV) light, so they don't tan or burn your skin like sunlight or a sunbed. Our Panels, Mat and Pod are included on the ARTG, FDA listed, and made under ISO 13485 certified quality standards, so you know what you're using has been through proper regulatory and quality processes.
Who should check with their doctor first?
Please speak with your doctor or healthcare professional before use if you're pregnant, take medication that increases sensitivity to light, have a medical condition, or are unsure whether red light therapy is right for you.
Do your devices emit EMF?
Our devices are designed and tested for ultra-low EMF output. The output would be equivalent to most of your daily household electronic devices. Read more about EMF and electronics.
How does red light therapy work?
Red and near-infrared light are absorbed by the mitochondria, the energy-producing parts of your cells. Red light is absorbed mainly in the skin's outer layers, while near-infrared light reaches deeper into muscle and tissue. This process is called photobiomodulation. Learn more about the science
Is red light therapy backed by research?
Yes. Photobiomodulation has been studied in thousands of published laboratory and human studies over several decades, in areas including skin, muscle recovery and general wellbeing. InfraHeal devices use wavelengths that feature in this published research, which is why our Panels combine 7–8 wavelengths and our custom-built Mat and Pod combine 4.
