Note that this article is misleading and is basically just dishonest marketing. NONE of the devices it lists as FDA Approved are actually FDA Approved. One has no FDA status, the others are FDA Cleared which is a much lower level of approval and simply means that the device is not likely to be unsafe to use.

@altmed Thank you for correcting me - I went back to the site and realized you are correct! That's what I get for trying to multitask.
The real answer is that MOST "red light therapy" devices are neither tested nor approved as providing the spectrum advertised. As with many new/emerging/popular alternative therapies, it is kind of a "Wild West" for these devices right now. Using the second link I provided, you can look up specific products to see if they have been approved, and for what specific use.
