Red light therapy panels
Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, uses red and near-infrared LED light at specific wavelengths. This light is applied to the body and may support cellular processes in the exposed area, including processes related to cellular energy metabolism in the mitochondria.
The number of wavelengths varies by lamp and model. Some models operate with two wavelengths, while others use multiple wavelengths, such as seven. In addition to wavelengths, light intensity is also important. This is expressed in mW per cm2.

Infrared heat lamps are designed to generate heat. The designation IR A refers to a broad heat category and primarily describes how deeply the heat penetrates the body and how intensely it is experienced. It is a functional classification for thermal comfort and thermal applications.
Red light therapy works differently. It is not primarily about heat, but about specific light waves that have an effect at the cellular level. These wavelengths are expressed precisely in nanometers (nm), because small differences determine how the light is absorbed by the body and how it biologically responds.
In short
IR A describes the thermal effect
Wavelengths in nm describe light precision
That is why heat lamps are designated by IR A, while red light therapy is defined by exact wavelengths.
Red light therapy may help with:
- Relief of muscle and joint pain
- Relief of chronic skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis, eczema, and rosacea
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improved exercise performance
- Increased ATP energy production
- Improved blood circulation
- Improved sleep quality
- Stress reduction
- Faster recovery after exertion
- Promotion of blood circulation
- Reduction of inflammation
- Support for wound healing
- Stimulation of collagen production
- Injury prevention
- Reduction of scars
- Support during healing processes
- Reduction of rheumatic complaints such as fibromyalgia and arthritis
- Stimulation of hair growth
Red light therapy uses red and near-infrared light to stimulate a biological effect in the tissue. Heat is neither the goal nor a measure of results.
Infrared heat therapy, on the other hand, is specifically focused on warming. You quickly feel heat, which primarily produces a thermal effect, such as relaxation and a warm sensation. This is a different mechanism of action from photobiomodulation.
For depth effects, it is important that the radiation works as a light stimulus rather than a heat stimulus. Extra heat causes it to become too hot more quickly, meaning you have to treat for a shorter time or from a greater distance. Heat may feel intense, but that does not mean the light is working deeper.
480 nm blue light
This light works mainly at the surface. It is often used for blemishes and acne-related skin problems because it may help inhibit bacteria. Note that blue light may cause irritation or a pigmentation response more quickly in some people and is less suitable in the evening due to its effect on alertness.
630 nm red light
This wavelength works superficially to moderately deep in the skin layers. It is often used to support skin quality, calm redness, and achieve general skin goals.
660 nm red light
This is a classic red-light wavelength. It supports skin recovery and blood circulation in the skin and is widely used for cosmetic applications. 630 and 660 nm are often combined.
810 nm near-infrared
This wavelength penetrates deeper than red light. It is often used for muscles, recovery, and comfort in cases of stiffness and pain.
830 nm near-infrared
Similar to 810 nm, this wavelength is also aimed at deeper tissue. It is used to support recovery, muscles, and joints.
850 nm near-infrared
A widely used NIR wavelength with good depth of penetration. It has broad applications for muscle recovery, blood circulation, and comfort in cases of stiffness.
940 nm near-infrared
940 nm is a near-infrared wavelength with deep penetration. This wavelength is often used to support blood circulation and comfort in the muscles and joints. Because 940 nm is closer to the water-absorption range than 810 to 850 nm, a sensation of warmth may occur more quickly. Therefore, this wavelength is usually used as a supplement.
1060 nm near-infrared
This wavelength can penetrate even deeper but is closer to a range where water absorption increases. As a result, a sensation of warmth may occur more quickly. It is usually used as a supplement to 810 to 850 nm.
IR-A is a broad heat category that describes how infrared feels and how deeply the heat penetrates. Wavelengths, expressed in nanometers (nm), indicate exactly what type of light is used and how it biologically interacts with the body. Specific wavelengths are essential for red light therapy, whereas IR-A is too general to provide therapeutic precision.
For most applications, using it three to five times a week is sufficient. For personalized treatment advice, you can contact us at hello@liromaredlight.com.
A session typically lasts four to ten minutes per treatment area. A session may last a maximum of twenty minutes per treatment area.
You may use the lamp on one body part no more than once a day. You may use the lamp multiple times a day if you treat different body parts. For example, the face in the morning and the legs in the evening.
The recommended distance is between thirty and fifty centimeters. For deeper action and a shorter treatment time, thirty centimeters is used. For a longer treatment time or a lower dose, fifty centimeters is suitable. Do not exceed seventy centimeters.
No, the PrimeFORCE panels do not get warm. You may sweat or experience a sensation of warmth during the treatment, but you will not feel heat on your skin, and the LEDs do not get warm.
It is recommended to always wear protective eyewear during red light therapy. Set up the device while standing beside the panel so you do not look directly into the light. For models with a remote control, you can set up the panel in advance.
The treatment must be carried out on bare skin. Remove all clothing from the area you wish to treat.
All Liroma red light lamps are LED lamps. LED lamps are approximately ninety percent more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs, have a longer lifespan, do not flicker, and provide full brightness instantly. LED lamps have less light dispersion, allowing for greater depth effects. Thanks to their compact size, multiple wavelengths can be combined in a single panel.
All PrimeFORCE red light therapy panels come with a remote control. The ARMOR 400 does not have a remote control.
LED face mask
Liroma's red light therapy face mask is a portable device for home use. The mask is made of medical-grade silicone, making it flexible and easy to fold and take with you. Thanks to the adjustable buckle, the mask fits different face shapes.
The mask contains 234 high-quality LED lights. Each block contains four lights that emit four types of light: red 630 nm, blue 460 nm, green 525 nm, and near-infrared 850 nm. With the controller, you can choose from three power levels and different treatment times. Through phototherapy, the light penetrates the skin and supports processes such as collagen and elastin production.
The LED mask may support skin rejuvenation because near-infrared light can stimulate collagen production. This may contribute to firmer, smoother skin and help reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
It may also help improve skin texture by stimulating blood circulation. Anti-inflammatory effects may provide support for acne, redness, and other skin imperfections.
The mask may also contribute to better skin hydration and improved absorption of skincare products because the skin temporarily becomes more permeable.
The LED face mask uses multiple light therapies, making it more versatile than infrared lamps. It also offers a great deal of convenience because your hands remain free during treatment.
The mask is intended exclusively for the face and neck, and its light intensity is lower than that of PrimeFORCE red light panels. As a result, the mask is designed for skincare goals rather than deep muscle or joint applications.
The recommended frequency of use is three to five times a week.
The LED mask uses the following wavelengths:
Red light 630 nm
Blue light 460 nm
Green light 525 nm
Near-Infrared light 850 nm
Red light 630 nm is known to support collagen processes and skin rejuvenation. It may help reduce fine lines and improve skin elasticity and complexion.
Blue light 460 nm has antibacterial properties and is often used for acne and acne-related inflammation because it can inhibit bacteria on the skin’s surface.
Green light 525 nm may help reduce redness and pigmentation and has a soothing effect on the skin.
Near-infrared light 850 nm penetrates deeper into the skin layers and may support circulation, inflammation reduction, and skin repair.
A session typically lasts ten to twenty minutes. Gradually build up the treatment and pay close attention to how the skin responds.
No, the LED mask does not get hot. You may sweat slightly or notice that the device feels a little warmer, but you will not feel any heat on your skin.
No, you don't need to wear protective glasses while using the LED mask.
It is possible to apply a thin hydrogel face mask or a thin layer of product for extra hydration or protection. This is not necessary, and the general advice is not to do so.
For an LED mask, it is generally recommended to use continuous mode. Most skincare treatments are carried out in practice with continuous LED illumination, and masks are relatively gentle.
The pulse function can be used if the skin quickly becomes red or reacts sensitively, if the mask feels warm, or in cases of sensitivity to pigmentation or melasma, to limit the stimulus.
Yes, the LED mask is wireless. A power bank is connected to the mask. The power bank does not need to be plugged into a power source during use.
Charging the mask takes approximately four to five hours. Make sure the mask is fully charged before using it for the first time.
Yes, the LED mask comes with a remote control. Refer to the manual for proper operation.

It is recommended to gradually increase the intensity. For example, start with five minutes and gradually increase the duration. For sensitive skin, it is recommended to start at L1.
The F function stands for the pulse function. F0 stands for continuous light, F1 for slowly pulsing light, and F2 for rapidly pulsing light.
Generally, we recommend using the SHIELD back strap in continuous mode, because most practical applications use continuous LED illumination. The pulse function can be used if the skin quickly becomes red or reacts sensitively, or if you want to limit the stimulus.
For medical questions about using the SHIELD back support, always contact your general practitioner or medical specialist. If in doubt, you can also contact Liroma at hello@liromaredlight.com.
infrared heat lamps
Infrared therapy uses infrared radiation emitted by lamps to heat the body in a targeted way. The radiation penetrates the skin and is converted into heat. This may help promote muscle relaxation, improve circulation, and relieve stiffness and pain.
Infrared therapy may help relieve pain, such as muscle pain, joint pain, and back pain.
The heat may dilate the blood vessels, improving blood circulation and supporting the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the tissue.
In addition, infrared therapy may stimulate sweating, which may contribute to the body's detoxification.
The heat may also help relax the muscles and reduce stress, contributing to an overall sense of well-being.
Infrared heat lamps are designed to generate heat. The designation IR A refers to a broad heat category and primarily describes how deeply the heat penetrates the body and how intensely it is experienced. It is a functional classification for thermal comfort and thermal applications.
Red light therapy works differently. It is not primarily about heat, but about specific light wavelengths that have an effect at the cellular level. These wavelengths are expressed precisely in nanometers (nm), because small differences determine how the light is absorbed by the body and how it responds biologically.
