See the wavelengths that heal you

Two clinically-proven wavelengths. One device. Tap to see how each penetrates your body.

660nmRed Light

Visible red light penetrating skin up to 8-10mm. Targets surface cells for skin rejuvenation, collagen production, wound healing, and complexion improvement.

8-10mm
850nmNear-Infrared

Invisible to the eye but penetrates deep — up to 50mm into muscle, joints, and bone. Targets inflammation, pain relief, and deep tissue repair.

The Problem

Modern life is making you sick.
And it starts with light.

We spend 93% of our time indoors — cut off from the therapeutic wavelengths our bodies evolved to need.

93%

Of your life is spent indoors

Under artificial light with zero therapeutic benefit. Your cells are energy-deprived.

Chronic pain, inflammation, poor sleep — many downstream effects of cellular energy deficiency.

Blue light suppresses melatonin by 85%. Red light has zero impact on melatonin.

Your body doesn't need another supplement.
It needs the light it was designed to absorb.

The Science

How red light therapy works

Three mechanisms, backed by 50,000+ peer-reviewed studies.

⚡

Supercharges Mitochondria

Red and near-infrared wavelengths are absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase — boosting ATP production by up to 54%.

🔄

Reduces Inflammation

Increased ATP triggers reduced oxidative stress, lower inflammatory markers, and accelerated tissue repair.

✨

Stimulates Collagen & Repair

Enhanced cellular energy means your body produces collagen, heals wounds, and regenerates skin — faster.

FAQ

Common questions

Is red light therapy safe?+
Yes. Non-invasive, painless, zero side effects. FDA-cleared, used in hospitals worldwide, backed by 50,000+ peer-reviewed studies. No UV rays, no heat damage, no downtime.
This sounds too good to be true. Is it a scam?+
We get it. Red light therapy has been studied for 50+ years, originally developed by NASA for wound healing in space. It works at the cellular level (mitochondria absorb specific wavelengths and produce more energy). Valo devices are FDA-cleared, third-party tested, and backed by a practicing physician. We also offer a 60-day money-back guarantee — if it doesn't work for you, send it back for a full refund.
How long until I see results?+
Most users notice improved energy and sleep within 1-2 weeks. Pain relief typically starts within 7-14 days. Skin improvements (collagen, fine lines, tone) become visible in 4-8 weeks of consistent daily use.
What if it doesn't work for me?+
We offer a 60-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. Try it for two full months. If you're not seeing results, return it for a full refund. Free return shipping included. Zero risk.
Do I need to wear eye protection?+
We include medical-grade protective eyewear free with every device. While red and near-infrared light isn't harmful like UV, we recommend wearing the goggles during sessions, especially for face treatments. Most competitors charge $15-30 extra for goggles or don't offer them at all.
Can I finance this? What payment options do you offer?+
Yes! We offer 0% APR financing through Affirm — pay as low as $33/month for the Beam with no credit impact to check. We also accept Shop Pay Installments, all major credit cards, PayPal, and HSA/FSA through Flex. Plus, military and first responders get 15% off through GovX.
How is Valo different from $50 Amazon panels?+
Night and day. Amazon panels typically use 30-60 cheap LEDs at ~30-50 mW/cm², single wavelength, no FDA clearance, no EMF testing, and 30-day warranties. The Valo Beam has 200 medical-grade LEDs at 213.7 mW/cm², triple wavelength (630 + 660 + 850nm), zero EMF emissions (independently verified), FDA clearance, 3-year warranty, and a clinical director on staff. You're comparing a toy to a medical device.
How do I use it?+
Simple: hang it on your door with the included mount, stand 6-12 inches away, and run a 10-15 minute session. Morning sessions boost energy, evening sessions improve sleep and recovery. No setup, no consumables, no learning curve. Plug in and go.
Can I use HSA/FSA to pay?+
Yes! All Valo devices are FDA-cleared medical devices, making them HSA/FSA eligible. Select Flex at checkout to pay with your health savings account. It's pre-tax dollars for your wellness.
What's your return and warranty policy?+
60-day money-back guarantee with free return shipping. No questions asked. Plus a 3-year manufacturer's warranty covering any defects. We also have 24/7 US-based support if you ever need help. Zero risk, maximum confidence.
