At Red Light Sage, our mission is to help you cut through the confusion around red light therapy and discover what actually works. Too often, wellness spaces are filled with hype, vague claims, and product promotions without real evidence. We’re here to change that.

  • 📚 Science-first — all claims are backed by research, not marketing
  • 🧭 Clarity — information written for everyday readers, not engineers
  • 🤝 Transparency — we disclose how our site is supported and how devices are chosen
  • 🛡️ Independence — no brand sponsorships or pay-for-placement rankings

Our goal is simple: to make red light therapy understandable, accessible, and safe for anyone looking to improve their wellness routine.

Independence & Disclosures 🔍

We believe trust is earned through independence. That’s why Red Light Sage does not accept payments from device makers for reviews or rankings. Our editorial team applies a consistent evaluation framework, and we disclose clearly when affiliate partnerships are present.

When we do link to products, purchases made through those links may earn us a commission — at no extra cost to you. This helps support the site and allows us to continue publishing free, research-driven content. But importantly, commissions never affect our recommendations.

Our Editorial Process 📝

Every article and guide at Red Light Sage goes through a structured editorial process to ensure accuracy, clarity, and relevance. We don’t publish quickly written content or rely on unverified claims. Instead, our process includes:

  • 🔍 Topic selection — based on real user questions and health relevance
  • 📚 Research & sourcing — drawing from PubMed, Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, and peer-reviewed journals
  • ✍️ Drafting & editing — clear, approachable language with expert oversight
  • Fact-checking — verifying all scientific claims against primary research
  • 🔄 Review & updates — refreshing content as new studies emerge

This approach ensures that what you read here is not only accurate but also useful for applying red light therapy in everyday life.

Our Evaluation Criteria ⚖️

When we review or compare red light therapy devices, we follow a transparent checklist. These criteria help us identify which products are worth your time and money — and which are not.

  • 🌈 Wavelengths — devices must include proven ranges (620–670 nm red, 810–850 nm near-infrared)
  • Irradiance at distance — measured at realistic use distances, not “on glass” marketing claims
  • 🛡️ Build quality & safety — cooling systems, certifications, stable power supply, low flicker
  • 🧘 Usability — timers, mounting options, noise levels, and overall ease of use
  • 📑 Evidence base — alignment with published clinical research
