Recharge receives Funding for The FlexBeam, a Multi-Purpose Healing device Powered by Infrared Light

There has been an alarming rise in health disorders around the world. While many drugs have been developed for people struggling with pain, inflammation, poor circulation, stress and fatigue; we still need a safer option.

It is with this need in mind that Recharge launched their first product, the FlexBeam, in May 2020. The FlexBeam is a multi-purpose, personalized healing device that uses red and near-infrared light which is clinically proven to stimulate a body’s self-healing. Prior to launching their Indiegogo campaign on October 20th, 2020, Recharge was funded through a consortium of angel investors, OEM contracts, and pre-sales.

The idea for the FlexBeam came to electronics engineer and inventor Arjen Helder while he was trying to find a solution for his wife’s back problems. Although LED light therapy has been in development for quite some time, personalized and home light therapy is a more recent trend. Thanks to this invention, people no longer have to visit a spa or a professional’s office to enjoy the benefits of any type of light therapy.

Helder came across the promises of personalized red light therapy (RLT) in hundreds of peer-reviewed studies including NASA research. Inspired by this data, Helder designed his own red light device to try. The results were so exciting that he partnered with a friend and entrepreneur – Christian Barmen – to launch Recharge. Their aim was to develop a new state of art health technology which can help people with wound healing and tissue repair, hair growth, carpal tunnel syndrome, healing of slow-healing wounds, and the reduction of psoriasis lesions.

Some people have doubts about light therapy because ultraviolet light rays can damage the DNA of skin cells. Although this may be true of UV light, infrared light is actually perfectly safe and only affects the skin on a cellular level. RLT, also known as photobiomodulation therapy, is beneficial because organisms exposed to light can be changed or modulated. Once emitted light makes contact with the molecules, it essentially “charges” them and makes them more energized.

While red light therapy is not a brand-new discovery, it’s only in the last few years that the appropriate research has been done to prove that it is harmless and actually has positive benefits.

The FlexBeam is the first of its kind because it is designed to apply targeted treatment to specific parts of the human body. With its ultimate flexibility, efficiency, and usability, it brings the benefits of RLT to anyone anywhere and anytime. While this may be the first product that Recharge is launching to the public, they are committed to offering continued comprehensive benefits to the human body. The FlexBeam is an embodiment of the passion the Recharge team has for improving the overall health of people around the world.

Recharge drew from decades of extensive scientific testing to create, develop, and bring the FlexBeam to life. Recharge’s team of 24 members spans over 14 countries and is filled with “lots of brain cells and doctorates” as Barmen has stated. With combined expertise from many different fields, this team has managed to secure FDA approval, ensure compliance with various regulatory bodies and open up markets around the world while also wooing investors.

Along with creating the product, Recharge also has an on-site clinic run by co-founder Dr. Zulia Frost, a renowned clinician. Dr. Frost conducted free clinical testing on the FlexBeam for months before it was launched to the public. The test subjects came together to create many positive testimonials about the product.

Recharge hopes to eventually have a FlexBeam in every household worldwide. Given that the company has already produced and shipped over 500 units, they are slowly turning that dream into a reality. From early tech adopters to biohackers, fitness and wellness enthusiasts, and people interested in health optimization, anyone can benefit from the FlexBeam. In addition to the device’s ability to target any body part, its slick design will get any technological expert excited.

There are currently many red light therapy devices out there. We already had cosmetic devices and red light therapy wraps. Now we have the FlexBeam, a portable right light therapy device which can be used by anyone, anytime and anywhere. Ultimately, the FlexBeam will help you relieve, repair, and recover – with more flexibility than ever before.

When you decide to purchase the FlexBeam, you will get the device, a charger unit, 3 sets of body bands, a hard-shell travel case, and a personal guidebook.
