THE SCIENCE MADE SIMPLE

Understanding Red & Near-Infrared Light.

01 / THE LIGHT SPECTRUM

A closer look at the science of light.

Not all light is the same. Red and near-infrared light occupy different parts of the spectrum, with distinct optical properties. Understanding these wavelengths is the first step towards making an informed choice about your everyday light routine.

 FAQ 

What is red light therapy?

Red light therapy is a non-invasive approach that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light. Also known as photobiomodulation, it is being studied for its effects on cellular processes, skin health and physical recovery.

Research is ongoing, and results vary depending on the device, treatment settings and individual needs.

What's the difference between 660nm and 850nm?

Both wavelengths are commonly studied in red light therapy, but they have different properties.

660nm red light is visible and is generally associated with more superficial tissue exposure, including the skin.

850nm near-infrared light is largely invisible to the human eye and can penetrate further into tissue under suitable conditions.

The effects of either wavelength depend on the device, light intensity and how it is used.

Which NIR LIGHT product should I choose?

The right device depends on how and where you'd like to use red light.

  • Recovery Belt: A flexible, wearable option for targeted areas and convenient everyday use.
  • Red Light Mat: Designed for a more extensive, full-body wellness routine while resting or relaxing.
  • Red Light Panel: A versatile, hands-free option for use at home, with coverage depending on the panel size and positioning.

04. How often should I use my device?

Usage recommendations vary depending on the device, its light output and your individual circumstances.

Always follow the instructions provided with your NIR LIGHT product, including the recommended session duration, frequency and positioning.

Longer or more frequent sessions do not necessarily deliver better results.

Is red light therapy suitable for everyone?

Red and near-infrared light devices may be suitable for many adults when used correctly, but they are not appropriate for everyone.

Consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, have a medical condition affected by light exposure, take photosensitising medication or are undergoing medical treatment.

Follow all device safety instructions, including eye protection guidance, and discontinue use if you experience discomfort.
