The Flex MD is made by Dermalux and sold in the US only by CurrentBody, and it is the most expensive device in this range at $2,312.99. Its clearance is the cleanest here: two 510(k)s, K202028 and K212275, name the Dermalux Flex MD, although CurrentBody's page calls it FDA-approved, which no consumer LED device is. Light Therapy Insiders, which received it free and earns commission through a discount code, measured 29 mW/cm2 with all three wavelengths on and 3 mW/cm2 of near-infrared alone, at a distance it does not state; Dermalux specifies about 1 inch. The canopy measures 11 by 31 inches, about 340 square inches, and each wavelength can be run alone, which the CurrentBody masks cannot do. Reddit owners are the counterweight: one reports three units failing in two years, others report dead lights and controllers inside the warranty, and several say the results did not justify the price. It is corded, sessions run up to 30 minutes lying down in goggles, and the warranty is two years.
