Wearable‑tech firm Ultrahuman expands beyond its smart rings with the Photon, a handheld red‑light therapy device now open for pre‑order. Priced at $249, the unit undercuts typical market prices by more than half. It houses twelve LEDs that emit two wavelengths—660nm for skin benefits and 850nm for deeper tissue recovery. The compact unit fits comfortably in one hand, making daily use convenient.

Each LED projects both wavelengths simultaneously, letting users target skin tone, collagen production, or muscle soreness. The Photon pairs with Ultrahuman’s Ring Pro or Ring Air, pulling sleep data into the app to suggest session length and timing. Recommendations adapt as the ring records biometric trends, refining dosage over time. Users choose protocols—Recovery, Skin, Sleep or General Wellness—that rotate across body regions.

Weighing about 600 g, the Photon runs on a built‑in battery capable of six ten‑minute sessions before a USB‑C recharge. Ultrahuman is seeking FCC, CE, UKCA and RoHS certification, and anyone who already owns a Ring receives the Photon Protocols PowerPlug app add‑on for free. Pre‑orders ship next month, delivering a budget‑friendly entry point to clinically backed light therapy.
