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

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.
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.
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.
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.

- 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.
