What frequency is red light therapy?

The range of frequency used in typical red light therapy devices is from 650 nm (a deep red, penetrates the skin and acts on mitochondria) to 850 nm (near-infrared, penetrates deeper into tissue).

What is Nir in red light therapy?

Well, this is actually because red light therapy devices generally emit light at two different wavelengths: red and near-infrared (NIR). While red light is part of the visible spectrum of light, NIR is invisible to the naked eye.

How many red light therapy sessions do you need to see results?

To see results, make sure you’re using your device the minimum recommended 3-5 times per week. Sessions should generally be between 10-20 minutes long. While the more frequent the sessions the better (every day is ideal), increasing the length of individual sessions has not been shown to increase efficacy.

How does red LED light therapy work?

With red light therapy, you expose your skin to a lamp, device, or laser with a red light. A part of your cells called mitochondria, sometimes called the “power generators” of your cells, soak it up and make more energy. Some experts think this helps cells repair themselves and become healthier.

What is NIR therapy?

Near infrared (NIR) skin tightening is a non-surgical, non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment. It uses infrared light energy to penetrate the tissue under the skin’s surface, leaving the top layer of skin unaffected.

What does NIR do?

NIR spectroscopy is a method that makes use of the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum (from about 700 to 2500 nanometers). By measuring light scattered off of and through a sample, NIR reflectance spectra can be used to quickly determine a material’s properties without altering the sample.

Does red have high frequency?

This diagram shows the relative wavelengths of blue light and red light waves. Blue light has shorter waves, with wavelengths between about 450 and 495 nanometers. Red light has longer waves, with wavelengths around 620 to 750 nm. Blue light has a higher frequency and carries more energy than red light.

What are the main LED wavelengths?

The color of the emitted light depends on the semiconductor material and composition, with LEDs generally classified into three wavelengths: ultraviolet, visible, and infrared. The wavelength range of commercially available LEDs with single-element output power of at least 5 mW is 275 to 950 nm.
