The Revian Red is an LED cap rather than a laser cap: 119 LEDs at 620 and 660 nm and no laser diodes, with an output Revian gives as 1.67 mW/cm2, or 1.0 J/cm2 over its 10-minute session, a figure no independent tester has checked. Its clearance is direct, since 510(k) K173729, filed in 2018 under Revian's former name, PhotonMD, names the REVIAN RED. Every session is started and logged through the Revian app, and app-store reviewers name that dependence, slow pairing and a battery lasting one to three sessions as their main complaints. Reddit owners split, with three of nine reporting less shedding, two of them also using minoxidil, and four reporting no visible change after a year or more of daily use. The warranty is 3 years, and the money-back guarantee pays in full only to a buyer who logs at least 80 percent of sessions over 180 days and asks in the seventh month. It is $1,995 on revian.com and $1,595 at Bosley, and Amazon US no longer lists it.
