What Are the Benefits of Red Light Therapy Panels?
Red light therapy panels deliver concentrated wavelengths of red and near-infrared light across a large surface area, making them one of the most versatile and effective options for at-home light therapy. Regular use of a red light therapy panel has been shown to support collagen production and skin rejuvenation, reduce muscle soreness and joint pain, accelerate post-workout recovery, reduce inflammation, and improve overall energy and wellbeing. Because panels cover a larger treatment area than handheld devices or masks, they are particularly well suited for customers looking for comprehensive, full body benefits from a single device.
What Is the Difference Between Desktop, Mid-Size, and Full-Size Panels?
The main difference between panel sizes is the coverage area they provide per session. Desktop panels are compact and ideal for targeting specific areas such as the face, neck, or a single joint. They are a great entry point for customers new to red light therapy or those with limited space. Mid-size panels offer a balance between coverage and convenience, treating larger areas such as the back, chest, or legs in a single session without taking up too much room. Full-size panels provide the most comprehensive coverage, allowing you to treat the entire body or multiple large areas in one session, making them the preferred choice for serious recovery, performance, and whole body wellness goals.
What Is 1060nm and Why Does It Matter?
1060nm is a deep near-infrared wavelength that penetrates further into the body than standard red light (630-660nm) or shorter near-infrared wavelengths (810-850nm). This deeper penetration allows the light to reach muscle, joint, and connective tissue more effectively, making it particularly beneficial for pain relief, deep tissue recovery, and advanced therapeutic applications. Not all panels feature 1060nm, and those that do represent the most clinically advanced end of our panel range. Our SS100 panel is our flagship 1060nm device and holds Class IIa medical grade registration in Australia.
What Is the Difference Between Red Light and Near-Infrared on a Panel?
Red light (630-660nm) and near-infrared (810-1060nm) work through the same cellular mechanism but target different depths of tissue. Red light is absorbed primarily by the skin's surface layers, making it most effective for skin rejuvenation, collagen stimulation, acne reduction, and improving overall skin tone and texture. Near-infrared operates at a longer wavelength that penetrates deeper into muscle, joint, and connective tissue, making it particularly effective for pain relief, inflammation reduction, and muscle recovery. Many of our panels combine both wavelengths so you can benefit from surface skin improvements and deeper tissue repair in a single session.
Which Panel Is Right for Me?
The right panel depends on your goals, available space, and budget. If you are primarily focused on facial skin rejuvenation or treating a specific area, a desktop panel is a practical and affordable starting point. If you want the flexibility to treat larger areas like your back, legs, or chest without committing to a full-size panel, a mid-size panel offers the best balance of coverage and convenience. If your goals include full body recovery, athletic performance, or comprehensive wellness, a full-size panel will deliver the most efficient results. For those seeking the highest level of therapeutic output, our Class IIa medical grade panels with 1060nm near-infrared represent the pinnacle of our panel range. Still unsure?

What Does Class IIa Medical Grade Mean for Panels?
Class IIa is a medical device classification granted by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia, the same regulatory body that oversees prescription medications and medical equipment. A Class IIa classification means the device has been assessed and registered as a therapeutic medical device, meeting strict standards for safety, quality, and clinical effectiveness. For red light therapy panels, this means the device uses clinically validated wavelengths with verified specifications, rather than unverified marketing claims. Not all panels in our range hold this classification, but those that do represent our most clinically advanced and rigorously tested options.

What is Your Returns Policy?
We offer a 60-day money-back guarantee on all Streamshop devices. If you are not completely satisfied, contact our team within 60 days of receiving your order and we will take care of it. Please read our full returns policy for more details.
Who Covers Return Shipping Costs?
If the item is faulty or damaged we cover the return shipping cost. If you are returning for change of mind, return shipping is at your expense.
How Long Does a Refund Take to Process?
Once your return is received and inspected, refunds are typically processed within 3 to 5 business days back to your original payment method.
What if my Device Arrives Damaged?
Start by identifying your primary goal and how you'll realistically use it. Facial masks are designed specifically for skin rejuvenation, anti-aging, and complexion improvements. Handheld devices work well for targeting localized pain points like shoulders, knees, or specific muscle groups. Wearable wraps treat joints and problem areas hands-free, so you can continue working or relaxing during treatment. Panels offer the most flexibility since you can treat multiple body areas in one session, face one day, back the next. For comprehensive wellness, athletic recovery, or treating large areas efficiently, full-body mats and beds provide complete coverage in shorter timeframes. Device power also matters: higher irradiance (>100mW/cm²) delivers therapeutic doses faster but typically costs more, while lower-powered devices work well if you have time for longer sessions. Think about your budget, available space, and whether convenience or maximum power is your priority.
What Warranty do Streamshop devices Come With?
All Streamshop devices come with a minimum 2-year warranty. Our SS-series red light therapy panels come with a 3-year warranty, reflecting the premium build quality and longevity of the product.
What Does the Warranty Cover?
The warranty covers manufacturing defects and faults that occur under normal use conditions. It does not cover physical damage, misuse, unauthorised modifications, or general wear from normal use.
How do I Make a Warranty Claim?
Contact our customer service team with your order details and a description of the fault. We will assess the claim and arrange a repair or replacement as quickly as possible.
What Happens After the Warranty Period?

Are There any Contraindications that I Should be Aware of?
Red light therapy is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, people with active or suspected cancer, those with photosensitive conditions, anyone taking medication that causes light sensitivity, and those with epilepsy or seizure history. This is a general guideline only and if you are unsure please consult your healthcare provider before use.
Is Red Light Therapy Safe?
Yes, red light therapy is non-invasive, painless, and considered safe for most people when used as directed. Our devices emit no EMF radiation, and red light therapy itself has been extensively studied and used in both clinical and home settings worldwide.
Do I Need to Wear Eye Protection?
We recommend avoiding direct eye exposure during use. Protective eyewear is included with devices that emit higher intensity light. Always follow the safety guidelines provided with your specific device.
Can I Use Red Light Therapy Every day?
Daily use is safe for most people and many of our customers use their devices daily as part of their wellness routine. Always follow the session length and frequency guidelines included with your device.
