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

2 devices in the database · updated October 2026

Valo is a red light therapy panel brand based in USA (Columbia, SC). It positions itself as physician-founded, 'clinic-level'. Below is every Valo panel in our database, each figure labeled with how it was measured, plus what the brand does and does not disclose.

Honesty check: Claims 'FDA Cleared Class II' with no K-number; page has internal spec inconsistencies. 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.
