Questions Before You Commit

RECON is a three-pillar recovery system, not a single device. Each pillar targets a different layer of recovery:

Activate / Circulate: compression, percussion, and vibration tools built for recovery after hard training.

RECON Renew: PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) mats with far-infrared heat, built for relaxation and evening wind-down sessions.

Restore Red Light: calibrated red and near infrared wavelengths from a dedicated panel, built for a daily light routine.

You can start with any single pillar and build from there. The system is designed to stack: one routine, one order.

No. The majority of RECON users aren't professional athletes. They're people who train consistently, refuse to feel broken the next day, and want their body to keep up with their life. Parents who mountain bike on weekends. Adults who CrossFit at 5 AM before work. Weekend warriors who don't want Monday to feel like punishment.

If you're physically active and you've ever thought "I shouldn't feel this beat up", you're exactly who this is for.

Start with what matches your biggest bottleneck:

Legs feel heavy after hard training weeks? Start with Activate / Circulate, the RECON Pro Compression Boots ($575) are wireless, portable, and run 15, 30 or 45 minute sessions after training.

Want a real wind-down at night? Start with RECON Renew, the PEMF mat ($995) with the 3 Hz Wind-Down preset is built for evening wind-down sessions.

Want a daily red light routine? Start with Restore Red Light, the Restore Core panel ($699) covers the key coverage area for most people.

Compression, PEMF and red light, from one brand, designed to run together.

RECON built all three pillars to work as a connected system: one routine, one order, one set of settings. After training, run compression, then PEMF, then red light. Before training, flip it.

Beyond the system approach: RECON Pro Boots are fully wireless with no external hoses or pumps. The Restore Red Light panels deliver 8 calibrated wavelengths.

Here's the short version: a Restore panel puts out red and near infrared light at 8 calibrated wavelengths. You stand about 6 inches away for 10 to 20 minutes on a preset.

In practical terms: a consistent routine built for recovery. You don't need to understand the biology to use it. You just need to stand in front of it consistently.

For the detail-oriented: the Restore Red Light panels deliver 8 calibrated wavelengths, 4 red (630, 650, 660, 670nm) and 4 near-infrared (810, 830, 850, 1060nm), each chosen for a different depth. More on this in the technical specs section at the bottom of this page.

Fair question. Here's how to think about it: you're not buying a gadget you'll use for two weeks. You're building recovery infrastructure that you'll use every day for years.

You don't need to buy the whole system on day one. Most people start with a single pillar:

$150 - RECON Pulse Massage Gun. The lowest barrier to entry. Targeted percussion therapy you'll use daily.

$575 - RECON Pro Compression Boots. Wireless, portable, ready after every training session. This is where most people start.

$399 - Restore One panel. Entry-level red light for targeted coverage areas. Start small, upgrade later if you want more coverage.

You own it. Use it on your schedule, in your space.

Start with the pillar that matches your biggest problem. Add from there when you're ready. The system is modular by design.

Depends on what you're targeting:

Restore One ($399): Targeted use. Face, knee, shoulder, or a specific area. 72 dual-chip LEDs. Good entry point if you want to start small.

Restore Core ($699): The sweet spot for most people. Covers torso or full back. 144 dual-chip LEDs. Best balance of coverage and price.

Restore Edge ($1,399): Half-body coverage. 288 dual-chip LEDs. For athletes who want to work larger muscle groups in a single session.

Restore Apex ($2,395): Near full-body coverage. 576 dual-chip LEDs. For the person who is all-in on light therapy as a daily protocol.

All panels share the same 8-wavelength system, touchscreen controls, Bluetooth app connectivity, and individual wavelength dimming/pulsing. The difference is coverage area, not quality.

Correct. The RECON Pro Compression Boots have dual independent compressors built directly into the boots. No external pump. No hoses. No control box sitting across the room.

They run 4-zone sequential compression from feet to upper thighs at 30 to 240 mmHg, with 5 cycle modes. Battery lasts approximately 2.5 hours per charge. They weigh about 5 lbs total for the pair.

Medium fits 5'4" to 5'11". Large fits 5'11" to 6'5". Both come with a travel case.

Sessions are shorter than you think:

Compression boots: 15 to 30 minutes. Most people do this post-training or in the evening while watching something.

RECON Renew PEMF: 20 to 30 minutes. The mat has a built-in 30-minute session timer. Many people use the 3 Hz Wind-Down preset in the evening.

Restore Red Light: 10 to 20 minutes depending on the preset. Stand or sit in front of the panel. Skin exposure. That's it.

Daily use is the target, but this isn't all-or-nothing. 4 to 5 sessions per week with any single pillar is a solid routine. Consistency beats perfection.

Yes. With one important rule. Use the Sleep preset, which activates only the red wavelengths (630 to 670nm) and disables all near-infrared wavelengths (810nm and above).

Red only, no near-infrared, so it fits a low-key evening routine.

The Sleep preset is built into every Restore Red Light panel. It handles this automatically. Use it within your wind-down routine and you're good.

Both deliver PEMF (1 to 30 Hz adjustable) plus far-infrared heat therapy with amethyst and tourmaline crystals.

The Renew+ Photon Mat ($1,349) adds 144 red LEDs at 660nm built into the mat surface, plus jade and clay crystals, negative ion generation (3,500+), and 8 PEMF coils instead of 6.

The Renew PEMF Mat ($995) is the foundational product: PEMF, far-infrared, 6 coils. It's also the only mat eligible for commercial/facility use, because the Photon layer requires direct skin contact (covers block the light output).

If you're buying for home use and want the fullest protocol from a single mat: Renew+. If you want the core PEMF + infrared experience or plan to use it in a shared environment: Renew.

6 inches from the panel surface is the standard session distance. That's the distance for our manufacturer-reported irradiance specs (165 to 219 mW/cm² depending on the panel). Closer delivers more intensity to surface tissue. Further back covers more area at lower intensity.

For full-intensity sessions: 6 inches. For broader skin-level coverage: 12 to 18 inches. The built-in presets account for standard distance and session length, start there, then dial in based on how you respond.

Depends on the pillar:

Compression boots: Immediate. Most people say their legs feel lighter after the first session.

PEMF: Many people feel more relaxed during the first session, especially on the 3 Hz Wind-Down preset. Give it 1 to 2 weeks of consistent use to settle into the routine.

Red light: Red light is a consistency play. Give it 2 to 4 weeks of regular sessions.

The common pattern: boots hit fast, PEMF builds within a week or two, red light compounds over weeks. All three benefit from consistency.

Yes. In fact, sequencing them is how the system is designed to work.

After training: Activate / Circulate first (compression), RECON Renew second (PEMF on the 8 Hz Unwind preset), Restore Red Light third. Before training, flip it: red light, then PEMF on 10 Hz Everyday, then optional light compression (about 10 min at 50 to 80 mmHg), 1 to 2 min of percussion and your normal warm-up.

Full stack takes 45 to 80 minutes depending on session lengths. You don't have to use all three every day, but when you do stack them, this is the order to run.

All three pillars are designed for daily use at their recommended session lengths.

Compression: 15 to 30 minutes per session. No daily limit, but 1 to 2 sessions per day is standard.

PEMF: 20 to 30 minute sessions. The mat's built-in timer runs 30-minute cycles. Standard use is 1 session per day.

Red light: Follow the preset durations (10 to 20 minutes depending on the scene). More is not better. Stay within the preset ranges.

If you have a specific medical condition, are pregnant, or have an implanted medical device (such as a pacemaker), consult your healthcare provider before use.

Every Restore Red Light panel, from the Restore One to the Restore Titan, delivers the same 8-wavelength dual-chip system:

Red wavelengths: 630nm, 650nm, 660nm, 670nm
Near-infrared wavelengths: 810nm, 830nm, 850nm, 1060nm

The dual-chip LED configuration pairs one red and one NIR wavelength per chip: 630+810, 650+830, 660+850, 670+1060. Every coverage zone gets red and near-infrared at the same time.

Why eight: Restore panels run 8 wavelengths across red and near-infrared, including 670nm and 1060nm, two wavelengths most panels skip.

Each wavelength is independently dimmable (1 to 100%) and independently pulsable (1 to 10,000 Hz) via the touchscreen or the Bluetooth app. You can run red-only, NIR-only, or any custom combination.

Manufacturer-reported at 6 inches from the panel surface with all wavelengths at 100%:

Restore One: 201 mW/cm² (72 dual-chip LEDs / 144 total emitters)
Restore Core: 186 mW/cm² (144 dual-chip / 288 total)
Restore Edge: 168 mW/cm² (288 dual-chip / 576 total)
Restore Apex: 219 mW/cm² (576 dual-chip / 1,152 total)
Restore Titan: 165 mW/cm² (864 dual-chip / 1,728 total)

All panels use a 30° beam angle lens for focused light delivery. At 6 inches and the standard 15 to 20 minute session length, you're delivering approximately 5.6 to 12.9 J/cm² per coverage zone.

All panels are MDL, TGA, CE, and RoHS certified.

It depends on what you're optimizing for. Higher Gauss (field intensity) is not inherently better, it's a different application.

RECON Renew runs low intensity (1 to 3 Gauss) with precise frequency control. It's built for comfortable sessions you can run every day, including an evening wind-down.

The dial runs 1 to 30 Hz in 1 Hz steps, with four presets:

3 Hz Wind-Down: evening sessions, heat at 35 to 40°C
8 Hz Unwind: after training
10 Hz Everyday: before training and daily use
23 Hz Pre-Training: saved for peak days

Use the presets for convenience or set the frequency by hand. At 3 Gauss the session feels gentle, so it's easy to stay consistent.

The order isn't arbitrary. Here's how the after-training routine runs:

Step 1: Activate / Circulate (Mechanical): Compression leads. Sequential pneumatic compression runs from feet to thighs in zones. 15 to 30 minutes, legs up.

Step 2, RECON Renew (Electromagnetic): PEMF second, on the 8 Hz Unwind preset with far-infrared heat. 20 to 30 minutes of downtime.

Step 3: Restore Red Light (Photonic): Red light finishes the stack. 10 to 20 minutes at 6 inches on a preset.

Any pillar works on its own. Before training, flip the order: red light, then PEMF on 10 Hz Everyday, then optional light compression (about 10 min at 50 to 80 mmHg), 1 to 2 min of percussion and your normal warm-up.
