The Science of Red Light Therapy
Discover how clinically proven wavelengths of red and near infrared light can transform your skin, accelerate recovery, and boost your overall wellness.
What is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy (also called photobiomodulation or low-level light therapy) uses specific wavelengths of red and near infrared light to stimulate natural processes in your body at the cellular level.
When these wavelengths are absorbed by your cells, they enhance mitochondrial function - the powerhouse of your cells - leading to increased ATP (energy) production. This triggers a cascade of beneficial effects including improved healing, reduced inflammation, and enhanced tissue repair.
Unlike UV light from the sun, red and near infrared light are completely safe and do not cause skin damage. In fact, they promote skin health and have been extensively studied in thousands of clinical trials for a wide range of therapeutic applications.

Clinically Proven Wavelengths
Our devices use 660nm red and 850nm near infrared - the two wavelengths most consistently shown in peer-reviewed research to deliver therapeutic benefits. Each wavelength serves a specific purpose:
Red Light
Penetration: Surface to 8-10mm
- ✓Collagen production & skin rejuvenation
- ✓Wound healing & scar reduction
- ✓Acne treatment & skin clarity
- ✓Hair follicle stimulation
- ✓Surface inflammation reduction
Near Infrared
Penetration: Deep tissue (up to 50mm)
- ✓Deep muscle recovery
- ✓Joint pain & arthritis relief
- ✓Bone health & healing
- ✓Nerve regeneration
- ✓Systemic inflammation reduction
How Red Light Therapy Can Help
Skin Rejuvenation
Stimulate collagen production, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture, and fade scars. Red light therapy penetrates the skin to promote natural healing and regeneration.
Muscle Recovery
Speed up recovery after workouts, reduce muscle soreness and fatigue. Athletes and fitness enthusiasts use red light therapy to enhance performance and reduce downtime.
Joint & Pain Relief
Reduce inflammation and joint discomfort. Red light therapy increases blood flow and releases endorphins, providing natural relief for arthritis, stiffness, and chronic pain.
Cellular Energy
Boost mitochondrial function and ATP production. Red light therapy stimulates your cells to function more efficiently, rejuvenate themselves, and repair damage.
Hair Growth
Stimulate hair follicles and promote thicker, healthier hair growth. Clinical studies show red light therapy can help with thinning hair and improve scalp health.
Immune Support
Support your body's natural healing processes. Red light therapy has been shown to reduce oxidative stress and support overall immune function.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does red light therapy work?
Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light (typically 660nm red and 850nm near infrared) to penetrate skin and tissue. These wavelengths are absorbed by mitochondria in your cells, stimulating ATP production and enhancing cellular function. This leads to improved healing, reduced inflammation, and enhanced tissue repair.
Is red light therapy safe?
Yes, red light therapy is considered very safe when used as directed. Unlike UV light, red and near infrared light do not cause skin damage or increase cancer risk. Our devices are FDA Registered and feature zero flicker, ultra-low EMF technology. The light is non-invasive and does not generate harmful heat.
How long until I see results?
Many users report feeling benefits like reduced muscle soreness within the first few sessions. Visible skin improvements typically appear after 4-8 weeks of consistent use. For best results, we recommend daily 10-20 minute sessions. Chronic conditions may take longer to show improvement.
How often should I use red light therapy?
For most users, daily sessions of 10-20 minutes work best. You can use red light therapy once or twice daily. Consistency is key - regular use produces better results than occasional intensive sessions. There's no maximum limit, but more isn't necessarily better.
What distance should I be from the panel?
For general wellness and skin treatments, position yourself 6-12 inches from the panel. For deeper tissue penetration (muscles, joints), you can be slightly further away (12-18 inches). Our panels deliver optimal irradiance at these distances for effective treatment.
Do I need eye protection?
Red and near infrared light are generally safe for eyes, as they don't emit harmful UV rays. However, the brightness can be intense during facial treatments. We include protective goggles with our panels for comfort, especially if you're light-sensitive or using the panel up close.
