Frequently asked questions

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 can 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 use 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 term 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 responds biologically.

In short

IR A describes the heating effect

Wavelengths in nm describe light precision

That is why heat lamps are designated by IR A, while red light therapy is described using exact wavelengths.

Red light therapy can support:

• Recovery after exercise and a supple feeling in the muscles
• A more supple feeling in the joints
• A more even, firmer-looking skin and less visible fine lines
• Relaxation and a fixed evening ritual
• Blood flow in the skin

Results vary from person to person. You can find the research for each application on our scientific research page.

Red Light Therapy uses red and near-infrared light to stimulate a biological effect in tissue. Heat is not the goal here, nor is it a measure of results.

Infrared heat therapy, on the other hand, is specifically focused on heating. You quickly feel warmth, 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 acts as a light stimulus rather than a heat stimulus. Additional 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 works more deeply.

630 nm red light

Works superficially to moderately deep within the skin layers. Often used for skin quality, calming redness, and general skin goals.

650 nm red light

Lies close to 630 nm and works on the skin and connective tissue. Supports the skin barrier.

660 nm deep red

The most studied wavelength for skin repair and circulation. 630, 650, and 660 nm are often combined.

670 nm deep red

Penetrates slightly deeper than 660 nm. Supports cellular energy and circulation in the skin.

810 nm near-infrared

Penetrates significantly deeper than red light. Often used for muscles, recovery, and comfort when experiencing stiffness.

830 nm near-infrared

Similar to 810 nm and likewise aimed at deeper tissue. Used for muscles and joints.

850 nm near-infrared

A widely used NIR wavelength with good depth of penetration. Broadly applicable for muscle recovery and circulation.

1060 nm deep infrared

Penetrates the deepest, but lies closer to the range where water absorbs light. This means a sensation of warmth develops more quickly. Used as a supplement to 810 to 850 nm.

All eight can be switched on and off individually or combined to create your own program. The measurements for each wavelength are listed on the certificates page.

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 interacts biologically with the body. Specific wavelengths are essential for red light therapy, while IR-A is too general to provide therapeutic precision.

Our advice is one session per body area per day, lasting 10 to 15 minutes. For personalized treatment advice, you can contact us at hello@liromaredlight.com.

A session lasts 10 to 15 minutes per body area, once a day. A session may last a maximum of twenty minutes per body 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. At thirty centimeters the light is more intense on a smaller area, at fifty centimeters it covers a larger area.

No, the PrimeFORCE panels do not get hot. You may sweat or experience a feeling of warmth during the treatment, but you will not feel heat on your skin, and the LEDs do not get hot.

It is recommended to always wear protective goggles 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 should be performed on bare skin. Remove all clothing from the area you want to treat.

All Liroma red light lamps are LED lamps. LED lamps use approximately ninety percent less energy than incandescent bulbs, have a longer lifespan, do not flicker, and provide full brightness immediately. LED lamps scatter less light, 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.

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 114 high-quality LED lights with a total of 342 chips. Each block emits three types of light: red 630 nm, blue 420 nm, and near-infrared 850 nm. You can use them separately or combine them. With the controller, you can choose from three energy levels and different treatment times. Through phototherapy, the light penetrates the skin and supports processes involving collagen and elastin, among others.

The LED mask may support skin rejuvenation because near-infrared light can stimulate collagen production. This may contribute to firmer, smoother skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

It may also help improve skin texture by stimulating blood circulation. It can also contribute to a calmer complexion with less visible redness.

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 is also highly convenient to use, as 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. Therefore, the mask is designed for skin-related goals rather than deep muscle or joint applications.

The recommended frequency of use is three to five times per week.

The LED mask uses the following wavelengths:

Red light 630 nm

Blue light 420 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 420 nm is widely used in skincare for blemishes.

Near-infrared light 850 nm penetrates deeper into the skin layers and may support circulation, inflammation reduction, and skin repair.

A session usually lasts ten to twenty minutes. Gradually build up the treatment and carefully monitor how the skin responds.

No, the LED mask does not get hot. You may start to sweat slightly, or the device may feel a little warmer, but you will not feel any heat on your skin.

No, you don't need to wear protective goggles 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, the continuous mode is generally recommended. Most skincare treatments are performed in practice with continuous LED exposure, and masks are relatively gentle.

The pulsed 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 reduce the stimulation.

Yes, the LED mask is wireless. A power bank is connected to the mask. The power bank does not need to be plugged in while in 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.

For medical questions, you should always contact your general practitioner or medical specialist. If in doubt, you can also contact Liroma at hello@liromaredlight.com.

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 relax muscles, improve circulation, and relieve stiffness and pain.

Infrared therapy can support pain relief, such as for muscle pain, joint pain, and back pain.

The heat can cause blood vessels to dilate, improving circulation and supporting the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the tissue.

The heat can also help relax muscles and reduce stress, contributing to an overall sense of well-being.

The infrared heat lamp contains a 300-watt infrared heater. This lamp operates within the IR-A spectrum and is designed for targeted heating applications.

The recommended frequency of use is three to six times per week.

Liroma’s infrared heat lamps have a wavelength between 1100 and 1400 nm.

The infrared heater has a lifespan of approximately 3,000 hours.

The recommended session duration is twelve minutes. A session may range from five to twenty minutes.

You may use the lamp on one body part a maximum of once per day. You may use the lamp several 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 fifty and one hundred centimeters. Sixty to eighty centimeters is optimal. Never use less than fifty centimeters.

Yes, infrared heat lamps emit heat. It is important to start slowly, not to begin at full power right away, and to let the body get used to the heat. A starting distance of eighty centimeters on setting four is recommended.

Wearing protective glasses is not necessary. Set up the lamp while standing beside it so you do not look directly into the light. Close your eyes during treatment when the lamp is aimed at the face. If you would still like to use protective glasses, you can contact us at hello@liromaredlight.com for a quote.

The treatment should be performed on bare skin. Remove all clothing from the area you want to treat.

For medical questions, you should always contact your general practitioner or medical specialist. If in doubt, you can also contact Liroma at hello@liromaredlight.com.

Yes, the infrared heat lamp comes with a remote control. No battery is included with the remote control. The required battery type is a CR2032.

The infrared heating back wrap is a portable therapeutic device that uses infrared heat therapy. The wrap is designed to apply targeted heat to specific parts of the body, such as the lower back, knees, shoulders, or abdomen. The heat may help promote muscle relaxation, comfort, and relief from stiffness.

The infrared heating back belt uses far-infrared radiation combined with graphene heating. This technology ensures an even distribution of heat across the treatment area. The back belt can generate heat up to a maximum temperature of 75 degrees. Infrared radiation is not visible to the naked eye.

Far-infrared primarily focuses on muscle relaxation and general well-being. Graphene heating provides a stable and even distribution of heat.

The infrared heat back belt works through heat. The heat supports muscle relaxation, promotes circulation, and can provide immediate relief from tension and pain. This differs from red light therapy, which is based on light stimulation rather than heat.

The recommended frequency of use is three to six times per week.

The infrared heat back wrap uses far-infrared radiation with a range of approximately 3,000 nm to 1 mm. These wavelengths are invisible and are primarily intended to promote muscle relaxation and comfort.

The recommended usage time is thirty minutes per session. Never use the back strap for longer than sixty minutes per treatment.

Yes, you may move, sit, or lie down while using the back brace. Please note that the infrared heating back brace is not wireless and that you are limited by the cable length of approximately 170 cm.

Yes, the infrared heating back belt radiates heat.

No, the infrared heated back belt is not wireless.

Yes, the infrared heat back belt comes with a remote control or dashboard that allows you to adjust the heat and settings.

Use only a soft, dry cloth to clean the outside of the back strap. Never use harsh cleaning agents, and never immerse the device in water or other liquids. The back strap cannot be sterilized with liquids or in an autoclave.

Store the back strap in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and extreme heat.

No, always switch off the back band when you are not using it. Let the device cool down completely and unplug it.
