Face, neck and chest routines at home. It mixes red and near-infrared light (630 to 850nm) from high-output 5W LEDs, with a stable back stand so it sits on a desk, dressing table, sofa arm or the floor.
Is the PINK panel only for the face?
It is designed with the face in mind, but you can use it on any small area such as hands, shoulders or knees.
How far away should I be from the panel?
For most sessions, 15 to 30cm (6 to 12 inches) works well. Sit a little closer for deeper muscle sessions and a little further back for face and skin routines.
How often should I use it?
Regular use matters more than long sessions. Most people use their panel 3 to 5 times a week, spending around 10 minutes on each area.
What is the difference between red and near-infrared light?
Red light (630 to 660nm) is visible and is mainly absorbed in the skin. Near-infrared (810 to 850nm and above) is invisible and travels deeper into muscle and tissue. Combining them covers both.
Do I need bare skin and eye protection?
Bare skin is best, because clothing blocks most of the light. Don't stare into the LEDs: close your eyes or wear light-blocking goggles, especially for face sessions.
Will red light tan or burn my skin?
No. Red and near-infrared light contain no UV, so they don't tan. You may feel gentle warmth, but a session should never feel hot or painful.
What are the delivery, returns and warranty terms?
Panels usually arrive within 3 to 9 working days. UK delivery is free on orders over £25 and we ship worldwide. Every bodybud panel comes with a 2-year warranty plus 2 years' parts support.

A studio-style glow routine at home
Full-face & full-body red light, not just a small mask
Five wavelengths of red and near-infrared light (630–850nm), sized for real life. The PINK panel sits on a desk, dressing table or bedside, so a 10-minute session fits around emails, skincare or winding down.
Switch it on, sit back and carry on with your day. No mounting, no setup, no space to clear.
The easiest way to start red light therapy at home, at a price that makes sense.
Bring it close for a focused face and skin routine, or sit back to cover your neck, shoulders and chest. Many people pair a session with their morning skincare or evening wind-down.
A few short sessions a week is all it takes to make it a habit, and the compact size means it never has to be put away.
The built-in stand means it goes wherever you are: the desk in the day, the bedside at night, the floor after a workout. Easy to move, easy to place, easy to switch on, so it actually gets used.

Expert Perspectives on Red and Near-Infrared Light
Red light therapy is not just about shining light at the body and hoping for the best. The wavelength, the dose and the way the body responds all matter. Research in this field continues to show why photobiomodulation is gaining attention for tissue support, collagen activity and broader therapeutic use when applied properly.
Dr Praveen Arany
Researcher in wound healing and tissue regeneration
Research into longer red wavelengths has helped highlight how light may support mitochondrial function. That is one of the key reasons red and near-infrared light continue to attract attention in well-being and performance conversations, particularly where energy production and cellular function are part of the discussion.
Prof Glen Jeffery
Professor, UCL Institute of Ophthalmology / neuroscience researcher
Near-infrared light has drawn growing interest in brain and well-being research because of its relationship with circulation, oxygen delivery and cellular activity. That growing body of work is part of why red and near-infrared light are increasingly discussed beyond skincare alone, and more broadly within performance, recovery and mental well-being conversations.
Dr Paolo Cassano
Harvard-affiliated psychiatrist and photobiomodulation researcher
Mitochondria have specific sensitivities to long wavelength light influencing their performance: longer wavelengths spanning 650 to 900nm improve mitochondrial performance to increase energy production

Why Red and Near-Infrared Light Have Become Part of Modern Wellness Routines
Red and near-infrared light are widely studied for how they interact with the body at a cellular level. In simple terms, these wavelengths are used to support energy production inside cells, which is why red light therapy is often explored for skin support, recovery, circulation and general well-being. Learn how it works, what the key wavelengths do, and how to use it more effectively in your routine.

Product FAQs
Frequently asked questions about this product
WHAT IS THE DESK PANEL BEST FOR?
The Desk Panel is best for convenient, targeted red light therapy sessions while working, reading or relaxing. It is a compact option designed to fit easily into a desk, home or smaller-space setup.
How long should I use the panel for?
Most users begin with around 5 to 10 minutes per area, depending on how they are using the panel.
How far away should I sit or stand from the panel?
For more intensive use on muscles and deeper areas, many users position themselves closer. For more surface-level use, such as facial or skin-focused sessions, a little more distance is often preferred. A practical home-use range is roughly 3–12 inches depending on your setup and comfort.
How often should I use it?
Most people do best with regular weekly use rather than very occasional sessions. A common rhythm is several times per week, depending on your goals and routine.
Do I need to put the light directly on bare skin?
For best results, the light should hit the target area as directly as possible. Light, breathable clothing may allow some penetration, but direct exposure is generally the better option.
Do I need eye protection?
You do not need to stare directly into the LEDs. Protective goggles are included for comfort and peace of mind, and many users either wear them, close their eyes, or angle their face away during sessions.
Is red light therapy painful or unsafe?
Used properly, red and near-infrared light therapy is generally considered a non-invasive and comfortable wellness modality. It should not feel painful, and it is very different from UV tanning exposure.
Will this tan my skin?
No. Red light and near-infrared light do not work like UV tanning light, so the panel will not tan your skin.
How do returns work?
Let us know within 14 days of delivery if you’d like to return your panel, then you have a further 16 days to send it back, complete and in its original packaging. Return postage applies. See our Returns Policy for full terms.
What are your shipping and warranty terms?
Shipping: In stock in the UK and dispatched fast. Free UK delivery in 1–2 working days. We’ll keep you updated with an estimated delivery date.
Warranty: All devices come with a 2-Year Warranty + 2 Years’ Parts Support: free repair or replacement for manufacturing defects and faults under normal use in years 1–2, then in years 3–4 we help diagnose the fault and supply internal parts at cost.

I bought the full body panel with a stand, which is highly recommended as it can be moved with ease whenever you want to use it. The item came securely packaged and I was able to use it within 5 mins of opening. I use both red and NIR at the same time for 10 mins on the front and then the back and I have noticed an immediate differences in the quality of my sleep in the first instance. Long term consistent use will determine overall benefits. Good customer service and would certainly recommend purchasing from bodybud if you are in the market for a red light panel.

Item was ordered ,as it stated it was in stock ,delivery then was the slowest I’ve ever experienced with previous lights from other sellers far faster ….no tracking was provided whatsoever ,so it was a miracle I was actually at home to receive it …..the delivery address was wrong so it was lucky the driver rang me ! …………I rang the company a couple of times ,no response ,I used instant chat which was useless …..all in all my take on it is …..it’s a drop shipping company that I would not use or recommend to anyone at all .

Reply from bodybudThanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you raising these concerns.
For clarity, the red light therapy unit you ordered is supplied with a stated delivery timeframe of 5–10 working days. Your order was placed on the evening of 9 December and was delivered on 22 December, which falls within the advertised timeframe and prior to Christmas. Please also note that deliveries during December can be less predictable due to increased seasonal demand, which can occasionally affect courier scheduling.
While we primarily try to ship from our UK storage facilities, though on this occasion and due to high demand, the item was dispatched via an alternative delivery network to ensure it arrived before the holiday period. We’d also like to clarify that we are a UK-based business and do not operate as a dropship company. That said, we acknowledge that the communication on this occasion did not meet the standard we aim to provide, and we’re sorry for that. If a courier encounters a delivery issue, our usual process is to contact the customer directly to arrange a suitable solution.
If you have any further queries, please do get in touch.

Customer service excellent! My order was slightly delayed and I was kept informed throughout.
I got lamp with a stand. Lamp great. The stand is slightly cumbersome but glad I got it rathe than use other hanging options.
Using lamp is really easy. Stand constructed quite eaaily. Good instructions for both!
However I don't think I realised how often you need to use the lamp. I thought it would be 4 or 5 times a week not every day, so I will struggle with that. It's a good discipline though as its now a bit of 'me time'.
I don't expect to see immediate results in my skin tone/condition but I already feel less achy after exercise. I'm also sleeping loads better!

Helen G.Verified buyer
Reply from bodybudThank you for your kind words and detailed feedback — we’re really pleased to hear you had a smooth experience and are already noticing benefits like better sleep and reduced aches! Just to clarify, while daily use can accelerate results, using the lamp 3–5 times a week is still highly effective, especially when maintained consistently.
★★★★★★★★★★
Excellent, really happy with it. I was a bit worried picking a device online. The irradiance was what swung it for me and the other reviews and they were right. My Mum uses it well for her hip and muscle aches and pains; the improvement in her mood (lifetime of depression and anxiety) is a wonderful plus. I’ve used a few salon devices and I know from the brightness of the red light and the warmth from the NIR that this is at least as strong if not better. Considering the cost of a course in clinics, this is well worth it for daily use, and the convenience. I hope to buy one for myself too!

Have used the panel daily for weeks now and am really happy with the purchase. It is probably the best packaged item I have ever received, so I was unsurprised to find a pristine panel inside. The panel is a good size and the build quality seems pretty good, too.
