The most powerful red light therapy device of its kind
Looking for an effective way to relieve pain, recover faster, boost your energy levels and optimize your health? FlexBeam is a wearable red light therapy device that stimulates your cells to produce more energy. Targeted red and near-infrared light penetrates deep tissue, accelerates recovery and promotes natural healing, unlocking your body’s full potential.
Power Matters
To truly get results from near-infrared light, you want a dose powerful enough to penetrate deeper and stimulate more cells.
Many red light therapy products have insufficient power output to fully harness the theoretical benefits of this technology, with most devices on the market delivering less than 1W.
FlexBeam has a total optical power output of 5.5W.
FlexBeam has up to 16x more power output than other portable devices on the market.
It packs the same total output power as a midsized panel.
Each FlexBeam pod has more total power output than our leading competitors.
Many competing devices produce more red light power than near-infrared light. FlexBeam is engineered to deliver a more potent output in the infrared spectrum.
FlexBeam delivers 36x more power in near-infrared output than our leading competitors.
Red light therapy
How does red light therapy work?
You might have heard of red light therapy. These days, it’s a fairly common term in the cosmetics world. But there’s much more to light therapy than meets the eye.
As humans, we’ve evolved under the sun’s full spectrum of light, and are affected both by visible light (which we see as colors, such as red light) and invisible wavelengths (such as infrared and ultraviolet).
Scientific research has discovered that light at specific red and near-infrared wavelengths stimulates the body’s natural healing process. When treatments use light at these wavelengths we refer to it simply as infrared light therapy.
And when this powerful light is targeted, it becomes much more effective.

Why FlexBeam can boost your energy and gut health The gut microbiome is very sensitive to near-infrared light, so you can keep it strong and energized with a daily dose of light. A healthy gut microbiome is essential for your:
Near-infrared therapy promotes good gut bacteria, eliminates the bad, and keeps the opportunistic ones at bay. | |
Treat the root cause of your pain instead of a symptom Speed up healing Light therapy boosts blood flow by stimulating the release of NO (Nitric Oxide) into the blood vessels. Blood vessel walls react to NO by relaxing and diluting, leaving more room for blood to flow. Once a healthy blood flow is established it drains the excess fluids and swelling, relieving pressure and reducing pain. Decrease inflammation faster Inflammation happens when our body spots potential tissue damage. Our body responds by producing inflammasomes (immune system receptors that induce inflammation). But what triggers this? That would be ROS (reactive oxygen species) produced by the mitochondria. Since near-infrared light has been proven to energize the mitochondria, it impacts anti-inflammation, and relieves pain. Promote pain-soothing hormones Near infrared light therapy mimics the natural effects of sunshine. This means that it regulates serotonin levels and stimulates the release of beta-endorphin. While endorphin will block a number of opioid receptors, serotonin is known to help greatly in regulating pain. | |
Better sleep = a better you Because we’ve evolved under the sun, we’re predisposed to wake with the red sunlight rising in the morning and sleep after the sun sets. Our bodies were designed to be receptive to red light at these two critical times of the day. One of the key effects infrared light therapy has on your body is regulating melatonin production. You can help your body produce melatonin by using a red light therapy device. FlexBeam produces light in the spectrum that mimics dawn and dusk. In a way, it works to reset your circadian rhythm – this will naturally put you to sleep at the proper time in the evening. Using FlexBeam in the evening before bedtime is the most common and effective application to improve deep sleep. Infrared light therapy does more than balance out your circadian rhythm – it also improves brain function by regenerating neural networks and the nervous system. | |
Women’s health and infrared light therapy Usually, when companies talk about red and near infrared light and women’s health, the conversation turns to rejuvenating effects. And while infrared light therapy can certainly be used for cosmetic applications, there’s so much more that it can do. Some of the conditions that infrared light therapy can address include:

The research behind FlexBeam FlexBeam was created by a partnership between scientists and doctors, who based the design on years of research and case studies. Dr. Zulia Frost is one of the co-founders of Recharge Health, and the heart of the company. Trained as an MD, she suffered a brutal car accident that set her on a path to discover other modalities of healing. She has since become a pioneer in light therapy and neurostimulation and has treated over 10,000 patients. Based on her studies and clinical research, Dr. Frost has also designed a variety of protocols in which FlexBeam can be used to treat a plethora of ailments. She often makes appearances to help spread her insights on the benefits of infrared light therapy – also working to highlight the more than 15,000 peer-reviewed studies available on the healing power of light therapy. FlexBeam is the most powerful infrared therapy device of its kind on the market. Try FlexBeam for yourself and learn how the power of red and near-infrared light can help you. | |
Safe to use for the whole family FlexBeam is non-pharmaceutical, non invasive, and has no known side-effects. Which is why FlexBeam is safe to use for everyone – including on children and pets. We typically recommend shortening program times to 3-5 minutes in these instances, vs the usual 10 minutes sessions. We recommend exercising caution when using FlexBeam over tattooed skin, metal medical implants, and certain areas of the body, such as the heart and head.

- Can Red Light Therapy boost my mood?
Yes, red light therapy can help improve your mood, especially if you are feeling down due to physiological resaons.
One of the reasons you feel down can be low levels of serotonin, leptin, and ghrelin. This is rarely the only reason for feeling blue, but it is an important factor.
These hormones are partly produced in your gut and red light therapy can boost their levels. You can learn more here: Personal Recharge: Do You Take Your Bad Mood Seriously?
