    star No more anti-inflammatories!

    My husband and I have been using the NovaaLab therapy pad for 3 months now for hip pain and foot pain with excellent results. My husband has a 35-year-old injury to his foot that he has had to take prescription anti-inflammatories for off and on over the years. The red light therapy has given him such good results that he no longer needs daily anti-inflammatories. We are so pleased with both of our outcomes that we are now considering purchasing the healing laser and the fase mask. I can‘t say enough good things about this product. Well done, NovaaLab.

    start 5 Stars

    I was skeptical about this really working, yet hopeful. My chronic low back pain and sciatica pain has been with me for 47 years with my 3rd pregnancy, at varying levels. I've done various treatments: chiropractor, acupuncture, sauna, massage, Epsom salt baths etc., but a month ago I did something while working in my garden that was causing extreme pain, making walking difficult and painful, which the chiro didn't help or anything else I tried. So, with a 60 day "trial" with a refund possible I decided to give this a try. Wow! After 3 uses my pain was 70% less and I was moving around almost normal, free of my typical ice pack or heat pack attached to my back! After a week of using I feel really good. I personally like the pulsing setting as it feels warm and soothing. I'm excited to see what happens after 3-4 weeks! Obviously, when your pain is for the most part gone, you feel good!!

    star Novaa Deep Healing Pad for Back Pain and Recovery

    I did a lot of research online about the benefits of red light therapy and decided to try the Novvalab Deep Healing Pad to help with recovery from a major back surgery in November 2021. Because of having this pad I was able to get off of all pain killers within 9 days of surgery! I used this pad every day to reduce pain and expedite recovery. It made it possible to get a good night's sleep and after almost 3 years, I continue to use it every night at bedtime to relax, reduce inflammation and fall asleep quickly. I also now use it for my shoulder joint pain from 40+ years of hairstyling! I do not travel anywhere without my red light pad!

Maximize Your Recovery with Red Light Therapy

Backed by science, trusted by athletes, created for you.

Reduce joint pain and inflammation

Enhance muscle regeneration

Improve mobility and performance

Shorten post-run recovery time

Why Novaalab Recovery

Trusted by Team USA Athletes

From first-time runners to Olympic hopefuls, Novaalab helps athletes recover smarter, push past limits, and chase their next PR—faster.

Reduce Joint Pain & Inflammation

Red light therapy penetrates deep into joint tissue to increase circulation and reduce oxidative stress. This helps calm inflammation, relieve pain, and support tissue repair — right where runners feel it most.

Improve Mobility & Performance

Infrared wavelengths help stimulate ATP production, fueling the body’s natural healing process. That means faster muscle repair and less downtime between runs or workouts.

Shorten Post-Run Recovery Time

By loosening tight tissue and promoting blood flow, red light therapy helps increase flexibility and reduce stiffness — so you move better, recover faster, and perform with more confidence.

Enhance muscle regeneration

Using Novaa Light Pad for just 20 minutes helps your body bounce back quicker by reducing soreness and fatigue at the source. It's recovery that keeps up with your training.

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!
