One Device, All 8 Stations

Lightweight enough (0.6 lbs) to move from your lower back after Sandbag Lunges to your calves after a weighted run, without switching devices between zones.

how it works

The Science Behind Novaalab Devices
Most people feel a meaningful shift around week 3 or 4 of consistent use, not after one session. Here's what's actually happening at the cellular level.
Step 1
Powerhouses of The Cell
Within our cells, we have small structures called mitochondria. Much like the photosynthesis process in plants, these structures soak up light and convert its energy into cellular fuel.
Step 2
Energize Your Cells
This increased energy allows your cells to work more efficiently, promoting faster healing and recovery from injuries, surgeries, and intense physical activity.
Step 3
Feel the Benefits
And by targeting mitochondria and stimulating collagen production, our devices help your body reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and repair damage.

Why Novaalab and not a cheaper device on Amazon?

Cheap panels give you a red glow. Novaa gives you clinical-grade treatment. Our Light Pad packs 450 medical-grade LEDs at 150 mW/cm² —that's 3–5x the power output of typical Amazon devices.

We use the NovaaWave® dual-wavelength technology (660nm + 850nm) to treat both surface tissue and deep muscle, and our patented designs like TotalKnee360® and TotalFoot360® provide full coverage instead of one-sided panels.

Why should I choose Novaalab over other brands?

Proven Quality and Customer Trust: With over 150,000 satisfied customers in the US and 1,000+ five-star reviews, Novaalab is a name you can rely on.

Premium Quality Standards and Warranty: Designed to the highest standards, our devices include a 1-year warranty with the option to extend for an additional 2 years*.

60-Day Risk-Free Trial: Try our products for 60 days with confidence. Experience the benefits firsthand, knowing you can return them hassle-free if you're not satisfied.

Is Novaa Red Light Therapy safe and are there any side effects?

Yes, Novaa Red Light Therapy is safe to use at home. Our devices are designed with the highest standards of safety, using medical-grade materials that are durable and non-toxic. Red light therapy is non-invasive and supported by over 3,000 clinical studies validating its safety and effectiveness.

While there are no known long-term negative side effects, here are a few considerations to ensure safe and effective use:

  • Skin Sensitivity: Some users may experience mild redness or irritation, especially with overuse or if they have sensitive skin. To avoid this, follow the recommended session times and instructions.
  • Skin Dryness or Tightness: If your skin feels dry after a session, applying moisturizer can help.
  • Temporary Symptoms: Occasionally, users may notice slight redness or mild discomfort as part of the natural healing process.

Safety Tips:

  • Use the device as directed, limiting sessions to 10–20 minutes per area, 3–5 times a week.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure or placing the device too close to the skin to prevent overheating.
  • If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, taking photosensitizing medications, or have a history of skin cancer, consult a healthcare provider before starting therapy.

At Novaalab, we prioritize your safety and satisfaction. If you have any concerns or need guidance, our team is here to help!
