Red vs Near Infrared Light Explained

Red light therapy uses different wavelengths that affect the body in different ways.

Red Light (Visible)

• 630–660nm
• Targets skin + surface tissue

Used for:

• Skin health
• Collagen production
• Anti-aging

Near-Infrared (Invisible)

• 810–880nm
• Penetrates deeper into tissue

Used for:

• Muscle recovery
• Joint pain
• Inflammation

Simple Way to Think About It

• Red = surface (skin)
• Near-infrared = deep (muscle/joint)

Bottom Line

Most high-quality panels combine both for full-body benefits.
