FAQ / red light therapy
How does red light therapy work?
It is often said that red light therapy (RLT) is the healing wavelengths!
RLT illuminates the body with the same wavelengths as the sun, and has the same health benefits as the sun without the harmful UV light. How good does that sound? Let's tell you more.
RLT works by activating photoreceptors in the body's cells and this leads to a number of positive health effects.
What can I use red light therapy for?
âą Stimulation of collagen production, which can improve skin quality and function
âą Increased blood circulation in the skin
âą Suppression of inflammation
âą Improved wound healing
âą Reduce stretch marks
âą Combat wrinkles, lines and age-related changes in the skin
âą Treatment of psoriasis, rosacea and eczema
âą Reduce scar tissue
âą Improve hair regrowth on the head
âą Combat acne
âą Increased cognitive ability, improved physical performance, increased muscle mass, reduced body fat, pain relief, strengthening effects on sun-damaged skin, reduced depression, healing of bone fractures, low thyroid function, reduced inflammation, relief of autoimmune diseases, age-related vision loss
How does red light therapy affect my energy level?
Many users find that red light therapy can increase energy levels and contribute to alertness. A common description of the experience is that you âkick-start your dayâ with a session of light therapy, but as a rule, a treatment can provide an increased feeling of energy whenever it is given.
Does red light therapy increase my level of vitamin D in my body?
No, that requires UV light, which is found in sunlight. However, much research suggests that vitamin D is primarily a marker of sunlight exposure and that a large part of the health benefits associated with the vitamin are actually due to the red and near-infrared light found in red light therapy.
How does red light therapy compare to regular sunlight?
Red light therapy provides an optimal amount of light of the right wavelength and, unlike sunlight, it does not damage the skin as red light therapy does not produce UV light. In the best case, the sun can have the same effect as weak panels, but as a rule, the panels are much stronger, which also saves time. This is how much energy is absorbed by the skin: Light intensity in different contexts:
Irradiance (mW/cm2)
The bedroom 0.01
In direct sunlight 5-20
Red light therapy 20-5000
What is the difference between red light and near infrared light?
The difference is the wavelengths which are 620-750 nm for red light and 750-850 nm for near infrared light (NIR). We can also see red light while infrared light cannot be perceived by the eyes. Red light does not penetrate as deeply into your tissues, while NIR penetrates deeper and can actually reach central parts of the brain and internal organs.
Does the light therapy panel emit heat?
Red light therapy is a form of photobiomodulation and does not typically generate heat. However, the longer wavelengths, such as NIR, can produce some heat if the power is high enough. This may cause you to experience some heat generation during the treatment.
How does red light therapy affect my skin?
Red light therapy can stimulate collagen production while increasing blood circulation, which can improve the quality and function of the skin. Red light therapy also appears to have positive effects on wound healing, stretch marks and scarring. At the same time, it reduces any inflammation, which eliminates the risk of inflammatory skin conditions.
Can red light therapy be used as hair care?
Yes, treating the scalp with light therapy can reduce the symptoms of psoriasis. Because red light therapy stimulates the cells in the scalp, the treatment also increases hair growth.
Can red light therapy help with psoriasis?
Yes, treating the scalp with light therapy can reduce the symptoms of psoriasis. Because red light therapy stimulates the cells in the scalp, the treatment also increases hair growth.
