Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS RED LIGHT THERAPY?

Red light therapy is the therapeutic application of natural wavelengths of red and near infrared light which give your cells the boost they need in order to thrive. This leads to enhanced ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) production, a reduction in oxidative stress, faster muscle recovery, less inflammation, increased collagen production, and a whole list of other benefits from natural light absorption.

HOW DOES LED LIGHT THERAPY WORK?

LED light therapy works by exposing your bare skin to clinically proven wavelengths of red and infrared light which are shown to provide overwhelmingly positive benefits in hundreds of clinical trials. This combination of near infrared and red light is shown to be the perfect pair that your cells need in order to create more energy + more!

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RED AND NEAR INFRARED LIGHTS?

Red and near infrared light are both in the natural light spectrum and shown to provide their own unique benefits. The main difference is that red light at 660nm is more easily absorbed by the skin, improving skin health, collagen production + more. While near infrared light at 850nm penetrates into deeper tissue, helping with muscle recovery, joint pain, cognitive health + more.

WHY DO SOME OF THE LIGHTS LOOK LIKE THEY'RE OFF?

Near infrared light, in contrast to red light, at 850nm is invisible to the human eye. Therefore, they are not as bright as the 660nm LEDs, you can however see a faint glow. Rest assured that if your red LED lights which are set at 660nm are on and working, your near infrared LEDs at 850nm are working as well because they are wired through the same circuitry.
