Red Light Therapy (RLT) is delivered at 660 nm and is visible to the human eye. Red light is readily absorbed by surface tissues and cells. This treatment supports skin, muscle tissue, and other physical tissue healing.

 

Sunlight is critical for the performance of our bodies, but we don’t get enough of it. In fact, the average American spends about 90% (or more) of life indoors! A lack of sunlight disrupts the body’s natural balance, leading to fatigue, decreased mental acuity, weaker muscles, and reduced immunity. Red light therapy delivers the benefits that naturally come from sunlight.

 

Red light produces a biochemical effect in cells that strengthens the mitochondria. The mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell — it’s where the cell’s energy is created in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). By increasing the function of the mitochondria using RLT, a cell can make more ATP. With more energy, cells can function more efficiently, rejuvenate themselves, and repair damage.

 

Near Infrared Light (NIR) is delivered at 850 nm and is invisible to the human eye. NIR penetrates into deeper tissues, leading to enhanced recovery and inflammation support within the body.

 

Like RLT, NIR helps to improve cellular energy (ATP) production. 850 nm is considered the most effective wavelength for traveling into the body’s core to prompt deep tissue healing.
