What Size Red Light Therapy Panel Do You Need?
One of the most common questions we get from customers across Canada is: “What size red light therapy panel do I actually need?”
It’s a fair question — and the answer depends on your goals, the areas you want to treat, and how much time you want to spend per session.
In this guide, we’ll break down the three main panel sizes so you can confidently choose the right device for your needs.
