Overview
What red and near-infrared light therapy actually does
Also known as low-level light therapy, it uses low-energy LEDs to influence cell function. Specific wavelengths enhance the working of mitochondria — the organelles that convert nutrients into energy molecules. Improving cellular respiration improves the functioning of the whole cell. Our devices emit red at 660nm and near-infrared at 850nm, the two wavelengths supported by the largest body of published research.
