Red Light: Uses wavelengths between 630nm to 700nm, which fall within the visible red spectrum. Red light wavelengths typically penetrate the skin up to a depth of about 5-10 millimetres, making them effective for treating superficial tissues.
Near-Infrared (NIR): Uses wavelengths between 700nm to 1100nm, which are beyond the visible red spectrum. NIR light can penetrate deeper into the body, reaching depths of up to several centimetres. This makes it effective for treating deeper tissues such as muscles.
Using both red light and NIR light together can provide a comprehensive approach, benefiting both superficial and deeper tissues. This combination enhances the versatility of the therapy, allowing for a wide range of applications from skin health and rejuvenation to deeper tissue support.
