When buying a red light therapy stand, many options can be overwhelming. With years of experience testing, using, and reviewing red light therapy products, I've developed a deep understanding of practical applications and user needs.
In this guide, I'll discuss various stand options to help you find the best fit for your setup, requirements, and budget. I'll also share some low-cost alternatives that might make those expensive $600-$700 stands seem unnecessary.
Understanding Your Needs
Before diving into specific products, you need to determine your use case. Are you using a small tabletop device just for facial treatments? Do you run a clinic with multiple clients each day? Do you need a setup for standing treatments, or do you prefer to use your panels while lying down? Answering these questions will help you choose the right stand for your needs.
Why PlatinumLED Stands?
I've chosen to focus on the PlatinumLED stand lineup for two reasons.
First, this company offers the most extensive mounting options among red light therapy brands. Second, I am very familiar with their products—I've used most of these stands and have several in my setup.
Breakdown Of Red Light Therapy Stands
BioMax Tabletop Stand
This compact stand is designed for smaller tabletop panels, typically those with 60 to 100 LEDs. It's an excellent choice for targeted treatments like facial or knee therapy.
Priced at around $100, it's a well-built, high-quality stand that complements PlatinumLED panels aesthetically. The stand allows for easy pivoting and positioning, making it convenient to use on a table or floor. However, it's not suitable for larger panels.
BioMax Mobile Rack Stand
The BioMax Mobile Rack Stand is a solid choice for a vertical setup. It's ideal for home users or commercial settings where wall mounting isn't an option.
This stand can accommodate up to three panels wide and two panels high, providing full-body coverage. Thanks to its wheels, it's an excellent option for those who want a mobile setup with easy storage. At $329, it's also a good value.
This stand is perfect if you move your panel setup between rooms or want to adjust your therapy position without committing to a permanent installation. However, a key limitation is that it doesn't support horizontal treatments for lying down. If you need a stand for both standing and lying-down treatments, consider a horizontal stand instead.
BioMax Non-Motorized Horizontal Stand
Designed for users who prefer to lie down during treatments, this stand can hold one or two panels above the body. It's adjustable in height but requires two people to make those adjustments. Priced at $329, it offers a solid horizontal treatment solution.
This stand is handy for those who suffer from back pain or muscle recovery issues, as lying down during treatment can be more comfortable than standing. The major drawback is the manual height adjustment. This can be cumbersome if you frequently switch between users or different height settings. However, if you're setting up a permanent home therapy station, it's a reliable and sturdy option.
BioMax Motorized Horizontal Stand
For those who want an even better horizontal treatment experience, the BioMax Motorized Stand is the way to go. This stand supports up to four panels and allows for extensive coverage. It's motorized, meaning you can adjust the height with a remote control—a significant advantage over the non-motorized version.
Though it's more expensive at $769, the convenience of easy height adjustments and enhanced coverage makes it a worthwhile investment. It's ideal for those who want a professional-grade setup at home or in a clinic. It also rotates into a vertical position for storage, making it a versatile choice for those with limited space.
Mobile Floor Stand
A budget-friendly alternative at $139, the Mobile Floor Stand is a compact, wheeled stand designed for a single panel. This is great for small spaces, as it can be rolled away when unused. However, it only accommodates one panel, limiting its effectiveness for full-body treatments.
This stand works well if you only need red light therapy on a specific area—such as a knee, shoulder, or face. However, you may constantly reposition the panel for more extensive treatment areas, which can be inconvenient. You could skip this stand and save money if you don’t mind leaning your panel against a wall.
BioMax Wall Mount Bracket
The BioMax Wall Mount Bracket is an excellent choice for a fixed setup. I use this system, with four BioMax 900 panels mounted outside my sauna. Each bracket costs just $74, making it one of the most affordable options.
Wall-mounted setups provide a clean, space-saving solution but lack mobility. Once installed, moving them requires drilling new holes. If you have a dedicated therapy area and don’t plan on repositioning your panels often, this is an unbeatable option regarding stability and efficiency. Make sure your wall is sturdy enough to support the panels, as mounting on weak drywall could be problematic.
BioMax Desk Mount Arm Stand
This clamp-on arm stand, designed for smaller tabletop panels like the BioMax 450 or 300, provides exceptional flexibility. You can position your panel above your head, behind your back, or at various angles. At $149, it adds versatility to smaller setups.
The most significant advantage of this stand is its ability to provide hands-free treatment at multiple angles. This arm mount is a fantastic option to direct light at different body parts without constantly adjusting a static stand. While more expensive than the basic tabletop stand, its ability to pivot and fold away makes it an appealing option for targeted treatments.
Making the Right Choice
Ultimately, the best stand for you depends on your specific needs, available space, and budget.
If mobility and flexibility are your priorities, the mobile rack or floor stands are great choices. The wall mount bracket is ideal for a permanent, space-saving setup. The motorized stand is worth the extra investment for those who want the best horizontal treatment experience.
