Paid partnership with @thepoopqueen
@thepoopqueen's red light therapy setup

The two red light therapy devices I use, and what I use each one for.

@thepoopqueen at home with the ProWave

I've been using CuraYou since 2024. I used these on myself and my kids with great results. I have recommended them to many of my clients and feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Here's an honest breakdown of both, so you can work out which one makes sense for you.

  • Medical-grade devices, not consumer gadgets
  • Built on published photobiomodulation research
  • Real humans on support, I've tested this myself

What I like is that they have a 60-day guarantee, so should this not give you the results you're hoping for, they will refund you.

Why I use these, and how they fit into my day.

Two devices, two different jobs

Which one is right for you?

They're not competing products. I use them for completely different things.

Cura ProWave Deep Healing Pad
The one for joints & muscles

Cura ProWave Deep Healing Pad™

"This is my catch-all. Sore shoulder, stiff back, that general achy feeling after a long day. I wrap it, press start, and carry on with whatever I'm doing. It's soothing, and it comes with me when I travel."

A flexible wrap that delivers red and near-infrared light to whichever area needs it. It moulds to a knee, shoulder, hip, wrist, back or foot. Twenty minutes, hands-free, wherever you happen to be sitting.

Best for
  • Everyday aches and stiffness
  • Travel
  • General comfort and recovery
  • Whole-household use

Cura LaserFlex Ultra
The one for gut health and back pain

Cura LaserFlex Ultra™

"This is the one I get asked about most, for obvious reasons. It's the device I use when I want something focused on my midsection. It's hands-free and uses low-level lasers for deeper penetration"

Combines low-level lasers with LED. Lasers reach deeper through tissue than LEDs alone, and the hands-free design covers a broad area of the abdomen or lower back rather than a single small point.

Best for
  • Targeted abdominal and lower-back use
  • Deeper tissue areas
  • Anyone wanting laser and LED in one device

Why CuraYou and not one of the others

Three things I checked before I recommended anything.

01

Medical grade, and the numbers are published.

Irradiance decides how deep the light goes. A lot of consumer devices sit at 100-130 mW/cm². CuraYou devices put out 200 mW/cm².

02

Laser coverage that's usable.

Some devices use low-level lasers, but most are built as wands or pens covering a very small spot at a time. The LaserFlex uses a hands-free panel design, so you get laser and LED across a meaningful area without needing to hold anything in place for twenty minutes.

03

Support answered by people.

This is the unglamorous one and it's the reason I stayed. Good customer support is crucial for any health device.

Not just me

What to expect

This isn't an overnight thing.

Red light therapy supports your body's own repair processes, which take time. Anything promising instant results is masking something, not fixing it.

Week 1–2

Getting started

Build the habit. Twenty minutes, consistently. Some people notice a warming, soothing sensation from the first session.

Week 3–4

Settling in

This is where most people say it starts feeling worth it.

Month 2–3

Compounding

Consistency is the whole trick. The benefit builds with regular use.

Ongoing

Part of the routine

Most people stop thinking of it as a treatment and start treating it like brushing their teeth.
