Total optical power measured across the whole shell comes to 600 mW. You wear it for 25 minutes every other day, on non-consecutive days, and the shell weighs 1.03 lb, so it sits on your head with nothing held in your hands once the timer is running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA handheld controller with a timer display runs the session and connects to the helmet on a cable. The helmet takes a universal power adapter rated for AC 100-240V in and DC 5V out at 50\/60Hz, so it works on the socket you already have. Nothing in the box runs without a cable, and the rechargeable battery pack that lets you move around during a session is bought on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe emitters face the top of the scalp and the crown, and that is the area this shell is built around; the two larger helmets in the range stretch the same shape further forward and further down the sides. The box holds the device, the universal power adapter, the controller with its timer display, a user manual and a quick start guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe device carries a 2 year warranty from iRESTORE. Returns on the hair devices close 12 months from the date of purchase, the return authorization is requested between 365 and 400 days from purchase, and a 25 percent service fee applies to the refund. The iRESTORE Essential holds FDA 510(k) clearance K213094. It is a Class II device, product code OAP, under 21 CFR 890.5500. The helmet is a Class 3R laser product with each laser diode running at under 5 mW, and the cautions that come with it are worth reading before the first session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"overview__image\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/9341\/0393\/files\/01_Essential_White_Angle_Main_1500x1500_53bc3f8b-a162-4e56-9347-8c5dbb0c35a7.webp?v=1789526510\" alt=\"iRESTORE Essential laser helmet in white, seen from a front angle\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-banner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-card\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"spec-card__label\"\u003eDiodes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"spec-card__value\"\u003e120\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"spec-card__sub\"\u003e51 laser diodes and 69 LEDs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-card\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"spec-card__label\"\u003eWavelength\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"spec-card__value\"\u003e655 nm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"spec-card__sub\"\u003eOne wavelength on every emitter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-card\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"spec-card__label\"\u003eTotal output\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"spec-card__value\"\u003e600 mW\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"spec-card__sub\"\u003eClass 3R, each laser diode under 5 mW\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-card\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"spec-card__label\"\u003eSession\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"spec-card__value\"\u003e25 minutes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"spec-card__sub\"\u003eRepeated every other day\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"value-bar\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"value-bar__item\"\u003eWorn on the head at 1.03 lb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"value-bar__item\"\u003eController with a timer display on a cable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"value-bar__item\"\u003eBattery pack sold separately\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"value-bar__item\"\u003e2 year warranty on the helmet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection class=\"section--dark\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"section__eyebrow\"\u003eThe hardware\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"section__title\"\u003eSix Hundred Milliwatts Across One Hundred and Twenty Diodes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"section__lead\"\u003eTwo kinds of emitter share one shell and one wavelength here, and the count, the split and the output figure are the three numbers that separate this helmet from the two above it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tech__grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tech-card tech-card--accent\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tech-card__icon\"\u003e01\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"tech-card__title\"\u003eFifty-One Lasers Beside Sixty-Nine LEDs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tech-card__text\"\u003eThe shell holds 120 emitters in total: 51 laser diodes and 69 LEDs, mounted on the inner face so they point in at the head while the helmet is worn.
