How does Red Light Therapy work?

Red light and near-infrared light (NIR) penetrate deep into the skin and are absorbed by the cells. The light in the red and NIR spectrum can penetrate the skin to a depth of about 5 to 10 millimeters, allowing it to reach deeper tissues.

Once inside the cell, the light is absorbed by the mitochondria, the cell's power plants. Mitochondria contain a light-absorbing enzyme called cytochrome c oxidase, which plays a crucial role in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main energy source for cellular processes.

The absorption of light by cytochrome c oxidase stimulates the mitochondria to produce more ATP. ATP is essential for numerous cellular functions, such as repair, regeneration and normal cell function. With more available energy, cells can work more efficiently and recover from damage faster.

Red light therapy increases ATP production and improves cellular functions, leading to accelerated tissue repair and regeneration. This results in faster wound healing, less scarring and improvement in skin health. The anti-inflammatory effects relieve pain, reduce swelling and improve joint and muscle function. In addition, the therapy supports the immune system, promotes muscle recovery, helps with chronic pain and improves overall energy and vitality.

Our advanced panels combine four wavelengths for maximum effectiveness.

Red light wavelengths (630nm & 660nm) promote skin repair and stimulate collagen production, resulting in radiant skin and helping with skin conditions such as acne.

The NIR wavelengths (830 nm & 850 nm) penetrate deeper, provide pain relief, accelerate recovery and support chronic conditions such as back pain, muscle pain, fibromyalgia and rheumatism.

There are no known negative side effects, making it a safe option for a large number of users. Furthermore, our devices are easy to use and come with clear instructions for correct and safe application.

The recommended duration of a session is usually between 10 and 15 minutes at a distance of 50 cm.

At a longer distance you can sit behind the lamp for a little longer, about 15 - 20 minutes at 100 cm.

Although there are no strict rules, regular use is recommended. Start with 2 to 3 sessions per week to let your body get used to it. Listen to your body.

You can gradually adjust the number of sessions based on your comfort level. For best effect, a minimum of 4-6 times per week is recommended.

In general, it is recommended to keep a distance of 50-100 cm from the lamp . However, some products, such as LED face masks, can be used closer to the skin.

For products that require a different distance, this is clearly stated on the product page.

Maintaining a red light therapy panel is essential to ensure it continues to function optimally and has a long life. Here are some tips for proper maintenance:

• Clean regularly with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth (no aggressive cleaning agents)
• Avoid damp areas, such as bathrooms
• Regularly check the cables and plugs for wear.
• Allow the panel to cool after use.
• Follow the manufacturer's maintenance guidelines.

Red light penetrates less deeply and is aimed at skin improvement and healing, while infrared penetrates deeper to relax muscles, joints and tissues and relieve pain.
