Q: WHAT IS RED LIGHT THERAPY
A: Red light therapy (RLT), also called phototherapy, is a therapy that
uses low wavelength red light to treat the at the surface and below the
surface of the skin. Red light is absorbed by the body's cells, particularly the
mitochondria, which use the red light to make energy, which stimulates cell
regeneration and repair.
Red light therapy is a highly-effective non-invasive, chemical-free therapy
that can be used to safely and painlessly heal and rejuvenate many parts
of the body.
Q: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RED LIGHT AND NEAR-
INFRARED LIGHT THERAPY?
A: Both red and near-infrared light are wavelengths on the electromagnetic
spectrum. Red light wavelengths, 600–700 nm (nanometers), are absorbed
by the skin at a high rate. Near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths, 760–1400 nm
(nanometers), are higher on the electromagnetic spectrum and not visible to
the human eye. The human body easily absorbs near-infrared waves up, to
1.5 inches into muscle, fat, and joints.
The InfraGlow's red light therapy mode (Mode 1) uses 660nm red light which
is a wavelength that is easily absorbable by the skin, making it especially
effective for improving blood circulation and the overall appearance of skin.
The InfraGlow's near-infrared (NIR) therapy mode (Mode 2) uses 850nm
light, which is a wavelength that penetrates deeply into tissue, organs, and
joints to decrease inflammation, relieve pain, and repair cells.
The InfraGlow's red + near-infrared therapy mode (Mode 3) uses 660nm and
850nm wavelengths of light at the same time. It treats the surface of the
skin and below the skin simultaneously.
Q: WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF RED LIGHT AND NEAR-INFRARED
(NIR) LIGHT THERAPY
A: The benefits of red light therapy and near-infrared (NIR) therapy are very
similar, though red light therapy treats cells at the surface of the skin and
near-infrared therapy treats cells up to 1.5 inches below the surface of the
skin (your muscles, fat, joints, organs, etc.). Benefits of red light and near-
infrared (NIR) therapy:
• Improve skin appearance, including sun damage, scars (including acne
scars), burns, cellulite, fine lines and wrinkles,
• Stimulate collagen and elastin production and cell regeneration, thus
improving blood circulation to the skin and the overall appearance of the
skin, including reduced cellulite.
• Energize the lymphatic system, aiding in detoxification.
• Lose inches off the waist, hips, or other treated area.
• Decrease pain, inflammation and stiffness in joints, muscles, and
connective tissues.
• Reduce symptoms of chronic pain disorders such as tendinitis, arthritis,
rheumatoid arthritis, and fibromyalgia.
• Boost immune system.
• Reduce symptoms of eczema and psoriasis, such as redness, itching,
flaking, and swelling.
• Improve sleep quality.
• Reduce hormonal imbalances.
• Improve mental clarity and focus.
• Reduce cortisol and increases serotonin, reducing stress and depression.
• Promote faster recovery post-workout.
Q: WHY DO SOME OF THE LEDS SEEM DIM?
A: The nine near-infrared (850nm) LEDs may appear dim or appear not to
be working because near-infrared light wavelengths are not visible to the
human eye.
