Here are my concerns about all of the "red light" therapy systems on the market (or coming to the market).

1. The "good news" is that there is quite a bit of information substantiating the premise that the "red light" wavelengths have beneficial properties but the "bad news" is that allmost all of the data comes from studies with "narrow focus" lasers and not with "broad(er) focus" LED's.

2. While FDA may currently defer to ANSI and classify them as "cosmetic devices" currently, I'm not sure that they will with the "medical claims" that are being made (or implied) come to their attention.

Thus, we are doing some "due diligence" regarding these two points before moving forward with a purchase.
