iRestore Red Light Therapy Panels: Specs, Irradiance & Honest FDA Status

2 devices in the database · updated August 2026

iRestore is a red light therapy panel brand. It positions itself as best known for FDA-cleared hair-growth laser caps; also makes the Apex LED body panels and Illumina LED skincare masks. Below is every iRestore panel in our database, each figure labeled with how it was measured, plus what the brand does and does not disclose.

Honesty check: Homepage 'FDA-Cleared' refers to hair lasers; the Apex panels are 510(k)-exempt/registered, not cleared. No rectangular red light panel is FDA-cleared; the strongest real status for a panel is FDA-registered, which is a listing, not a clearance. See our FDA explainer.
