iRestore Elite
Read the spec carefully: the 500 figure combines lasers and LEDs. Cheaper caps with fewer but all-laser diodes may deliver comparable therapeutic light.
iRestore Professional
Sits between the entry iRestore and the Elite. The 1410 mW output figure is among the highest published in the category.
