Why it's needed

Your skin bounces back
most red light.

As much as 40% of red and near-infrared light can rebound from dry, unprepared skin before it reaches the cells it is meant to energize.

Activation Gel is a water-based conductor that boosts surface hydration, smooths the skin's optical barrier, and lets more photons pass through — helping the same session work harder.

01

Smooth on a light, even coat.

Use a pea-to-dime sized amount on clean, dry skin over the area you will treat. It feels cool and sinks in within seconds.

Pea–dime amount~10 seconds
02

Set your device and start.

Place your Kovaria red light therapy device right over the gel-prepped zone, then complete the session as your device directs.

03

Rinse or wipe, then you're done.

Once finished, remove any residue with a soft cloth or warm water. Skin should feel calm and hydrated — not tacky.

Why Kovaria

The first gel made for red light therapy.

01

Optically clear, non-greasy.

Most lotions scatter light. We selected carbomer + hydroxyethylcellulose because they remain transparent under 660–850 nm.

02

Created by our R&D team.

Developed alongside our TheraWrap™ device. Tested on each Kovaria panel for safety, residue, and absorption uplift.

03

Made for daily skin use.

No menthol, no capsaicin, no fragrance — only hydrators and barrier support. Safe for face, neck, and joints.

04

Supported for 90 days.

If your sessions don’t feel better, we’ll refund you in full. No questions, no hassle, no return required.

Help

Your questions, clarified.

You can, and the device will still function. However, dry skin can reflect up to 40% of incoming red and near-infrared light. A water-based conductor such as Activation Gel helps more photons reach the cells they’re intended to energize, so the same session performs noticeably more work.

No. It’s made to remain optically clear and wipe away easily from glass, silicone, and acrylic. We checked it across every Kovaria panel and wrap — simply clean the device with a soft cloth after each session as you normally would.

Yes. It contains no menthol, capsaicin, fragrance, paraben, or sulfate. The dermatologist-tested formula is centered on niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and Centella Asiatica — ingredients selected for barrier support, not an active “tingle.”

No — it’s a prep gel for your session, not a daily skincare step. Apply it before red light therapy, then wipe or rinse afterward. Your regular serums and moisturizers should go on after, when freshly treated skin absorbs them especially well.

Yes. The formula is optimized for the 660–850 nm therapeutic window, which is standard for consumer red light therapy. It works with most trusted panels, wraps, and handheld devices.

Roughly one month with daily use. A pea-to-dime sized amount covers a treatment area — only a small amount is needed per session, and a 100 ml tube easily supports one person through a full month of single-area treatments.

If you don’t feel your sessions improving within the first 90 days, contact kovariatherapy@gmail.com and we’ll refund you completely. You won’t need to send the tube back.
