Kineon

Kineon takes a different approach to red light therapy than brands that sell panels or full-body systems. Its main product, the MOVE+, is a small wearable device designed to sit directly around areas like the knees, elbows, shoulders, ankles, hips, and other joints or muscles.

The MOVE+ uses three separate light modules held against the body with an adjustable strap. This makes it much more targeted than standing in front of a red light panel, but it also means the treatment area is considerably smaller.

The MOVE+ combines 660nm red light with 808nm near-infrared laser light.

Each of the three modules contains eight 660nm LEDs and ten 808nm Class 1 laser diodes. Across the entire device, that works out to 24 red LEDs and 30 near-infrared laser diodes.

The combination of LEDs and laser diodes is one of the main things separating Kineon from a standard red light wrap. Instead of covering a large area with LEDs, the MOVE+ is designed to deliver light directly around a smaller treatment area.

Kineon recommends sessions of around 5 to 15 minutes, depending on where and why the device is being used.

The MOVE+ has a regular listed value of $699, although Kineon frequently sells it below that price. At the time of this review, the standard MOVE+ is listed for $499.

Certified refurbished units are also available for around $349 when in stock. These are previously returned devices that Kineon says have been inspected, reassembled, and tested before being resold.

It’s relatively expensive considering how small the treatment area is. Someone primarily interested in treating large areas of the body may get more coverage from a traditional red light panel at a similar price.

The appeal of Kineon is really the opposite: it’s designed for someone who wants a wearable device that can concentrate treatment around a particular joint or muscle.

The MOVE+ includes three light modules, an adjustable strap, charging case, USB-C charging cable, travel case, user manual, and quick-start guide.

The modular design gives users some flexibility in how the lights are positioned. The three modules can be arranged around the treatment area rather than having all of the light coming from one direction.

It’s also rechargeable and small enough to travel with, which makes it considerably easier to use away from home than a panel.

Most customer feedback around the MOVE+ centers on knees, shoulders, elbows, hips, ankles, and exercise-related recovery.

People report using it for general joint discomfort, stiffness, soreness after exercise, and areas that tend to become irritated from activities like running, lifting, skiing, pickleball, and other sports.

Some users report noticing less stiffness or discomfort with regular use, while others say it has helped them stay active or recover more comfortably between workouts. There are also users who report little or no noticeable improvement.

Those experiences shouldn’t be taken as proof that the MOVE+ will treat a particular injury or medical condition. Results with photobiomodulation vary, and customer reviews are individual experiences rather than clinical evidence.

Kineon offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, but there is an important condition attached to it.

The company asks customers to actually use the MOVE+ consistently before requesting a refund. Its current product page says users should use the device every day for approximately 5 to 15 minutes for at least three to four weeks. If there is still no improvement, customers can contact Kineon for a refund or additional guidance.

That makes the policy different from a simple 30-day return window where someone can try the product a handful of times and decide they don’t want it.

Anyone purchasing specifically because of the guarantee should read the current return terms before ordering and keep records of their use during the trial period.

Warranty information is less straightforward than it should be.

Kineon clearly advertises a one-year warranty on its certified refurbished MOVE+, but warranty information for a brand-new unit isn’t presented as clearly on the current main product page.

Considering that the MOVE+ contains three electronic modules, batteries, laser diodes, LEDs, a charging system, and straps, clearer warranty information would be helpful before spending several hundred dollars.

There are positive reports of Kineon replacing components for customers, including cases where support helped owners with modules and straps. There are also reports of customers experiencing hardware or connectivity problems, so warranty and replacement-part availability are worth confirming before purchasing.

Kineon ships internationally.

The company states that U.S. orders generally take around 2 to 5 days, while international orders can take approximately 8 to 14 days depending on location. Actual delivery times can vary.

Shipping experiences are mixed. Some customers report receiving their orders without problems, while others have mentioned processing or delivery delays.

There are recent examples of customers saying support kept them updated when warehouse delays occurred, but there are also complaints from customers who had difficulty getting an update on an order.

Feedback on the MOVE+ itself is mostly positive.

Kineon’s own website currently shows a 4.7 out of 5 rating across more than 1,400 reviews, with 94% of reviewers saying they would recommend the product. Independent feedback on Trustpilot also contains a large number of positive experiences.

A recurring theme is that results aren’t necessarily immediate. Some users report noticing a difference fairly quickly, while others say it took several weeks of consistent use.

There are also people who simply didn’t notice enough improvement to justify keeping the device. One recent customer updated an initially negative review after returning the MOVE+, saying the product hadn’t helped their situation but praising Kineon’s staff for how the return was handled.

Independent discussions are similarly mixed but generally positive. Some owners report meaningful improvements in knee, elbow, shoulder, or other joint discomfort after regular use. Others question whether the relatively small treatment area justifies the price.

Customer support receives quite a bit of positive feedback.

Recent Trustpilot reviews frequently mention representatives responding quickly, helping with treatment questions, replacing faulty modules or straps, and continuing to follow up until an issue was resolved. There are even reports of Kineon helping customers with equipment that was already outside its warranty period.

The experience isn’t universal. Some customers report slow responses, difficulty reaching the company, or frustration while waiting for shipping and order updates.

Overall, however, customer support appears to be one of the more consistently praised parts of the company.

Kineon makes the most sense for someone specifically looking for targeted red and near-infrared light therapy around joints and smaller areas of the body.

The MOVE+ is compact, rechargeable, wearable, and combines 660nm LEDs with 808nm laser diodes rather than relying entirely on LEDs. Its three-module design also allows the light sources to be positioned around a joint instead of treating it from only one direction.

The tradeoff is coverage. At around $499, the MOVE+ costs as much as some much larger red light devices while treating a relatively small area at a time. It isn’t intended to replace a full-body panel.

Customer feedback is generally positive, particularly around joint discomfort, recovery, portability, and customer support, although results vary and there are some reports of hardware and shipping issues.

For someone mainly interested in full-body red light therapy, a panel will likely make more sense. For someone whose priority is being able to strap a rechargeable device directly around a knee, elbow, shoulder, or another problem area, Kineon’s targeted design is what makes the MOVE+ different.
