How does Red Light Therapy work?

1. How is red light absorbed by the skin

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

2. How does red light activate mitochondria?

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.

3. How does red light increase ATP production?

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.

4. What are the health benefits?

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

5. What are wavelengths?

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.

6. Are there any side effects?

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.

7. What is the recommended duration of a session?

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.

8. How often should I use the lamps to see results?

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.

9. What distance should I keep from the lamp?

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.

10. How do I maintain a light panel?

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: The safe, science-backed, holistic solution that delivers life-changing benefits

Significant benefits you can feel, manifested by restoring your cellular health.

Skin

Increases collagen and accelerates healing

Red light therapy increases collagen, reduces inflammation and accelerates healing, improving skin texture and tone. It also improves blood flow and can help with UV damage and acne. This non-invasive treatment promotes overall skin health .

Rheumatic Pain

Reduce chronic discomfort

Photobiomodulation has shown remarkable effectiveness in relieving rheumatic pain . By penetrating deep into tissue, it reduces inflammation and promotes cell repair, making it easier to manage chronic pain.

Sleep & Stress

Improve sleep quality and reduce stress

Red light therapy improves sleep and reduces stress by regulating melatonin production, improving cellular energy, reducing inflammation, promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety, improving overall well-being.

Blood circulation

Improves blood circulation

Photobiomodulation improves blood circulation through vasodilation, increases cellular energy production and has anti-inflammatory effects, which together promote healthier blood flow and tissue repair.

Healing & Muscle Recovery

Speed up recovery

Red light therapy can promote muscle recovery by improving ATP production and blood circulation, which supports tissue repair and reduces inflammation in muscles.

Nerve Pain & Neuropathy

Relieves nerve pain

Photobiomodulation may be effective for nerve pain by improving blood flow, increasing ATP production in cells, and having anti-inflammatory effects. It may also modulate nerve activity and have neuroprotective properties, reducing pain and promoting recovery.
