Red and near-infrared radiation are essential for all biological life and can be obtained by exposing the body to sunlight. Although UVB radiation, which can also be obtained through sunlight, is essential for humans to produce Vitamin D, too much can cause burning of the skin.

Contrary to UVB radiation, red and near-infrared radiation protect the body from damaging radiation and bolster energy production inside every cell they interact with.

Red and near-infrared light are similar in wavelength, impart their benefits similarly, and the primary difference between the two is that near-infrared radiation penetrates deeper into body tissues than red light.

Red and infrared light therapy works by delivering wavelengths of light to the skin and deeper tissues, which your body then absorbs at the cellular level. The key to how it benefits the body lies in how cells respond to light:

1. Boosts Cellular Energy: When the light hits your cells, especially the mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cells), it boosts the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the main energy source for cells. This extra energy helps cells perform their functions better and repair damage faster.

2. Reduces Inflammation: By stimulating cellular energy and blood flow, the therapy helps reduce inflammation, which can lead to pain relief and faster healing.

3. Promotes Collagen Production: Red light stimulates skin cells to produce more collagen, a protein that keeps the skin firm and youthful. This helps reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scars.

4. Penetrates Deep into Muscles and Joints: Infrared light penetrates deeper than red light, reaching muscles, joints, and even bones. This deep penetration promotes healing of damaged tissues, reduces pain, and improves mobility.

RED VS. NEAR-INFRARED LIGHT

The physiological effects of red and near-infrared light in the body occur in similar ways. For therapeutic applications, the primary difference between the two is that near-infrared light penetrates more deeply into the body than red light, meaning its healing energy can access and benefit cells that red light

While red light is often used for superficial applications like skin treatments, for example acne, near-infrared light can be used for both the skin and to reach tissues residing deeper within the body.

The wavelengths of red and near-infrared light shown to be the most therapeutic in scientific research are as follows:

Red light therapeutic range: 620-700nm

Near-Infrared light therapeutic range: 700-1000nm.

Many light therapy devices today emit multiple wavelengths of either red or infrared light and some even combine both red and infrared wavelengths into a single device.

For certain skin conditions, some evidence suggests red light might be more beneficial than near-infrared light. For all practical purposes, near-infrared light or a combination of red and near-infrared light is probably ideal.

Using a light therapy device that has both red and near infrared LEDs so to receive the best of both worlds; a 50/50 application of visible red and invisible near-infrared light.

Here are the top 20 benefits of using red light and infrared light therapy:

• Enhanced Skin Health: Red light therapy stimulates collagen production, reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and signs of aging.
• Improved Wound Healing: It accelerates tissue repair and wound healing by enhancing cellular regeneration.
• Reduced Inflammation-Both red and infrared light reduce inflammation, helping conditions like arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.
• Muscle Recovery-Promotes faster muscle recovery after exercise or injury by improving circulation and reducing muscle soreness.
• Pain Relief - Infrared light therapy alleviates chronic pain, including joint, back, and muscle pain, through deep tissue penetration.
• Improved Circulation - It enhances blood flow, leading to better oxygenation and nutrient delivery to tissues.
• Reduced Joint Stiffness- Helps to increase joint flexibility, reducing stiffness and promoting mobility in conditions like osteoarthritis.
• Boosted Immune System-Stimulates white blood cell activity, improving the body's ability to fight off infections and diseases.
• Enhanced Cognitive Function: Red light therapy may help improve memory, focus, and brain function by enhancing mitochondrial activity in brain cells.
• Improved Sleep Quality-It regulates circadian rhythms, promoting deeper, more restful sleep.
• Increased Energy Levels- Infrared light stimulates ATP production in cells, boosting overall energy and vitality.
• Enhanced Hair Growth-Helps with hair restoration and combats hair thinning by stimulating hair follicles.
• Cellular Repair and Regeneration-Red and infrared light promote cellular repair by enhancing mitochondrial function and energy production.
• Improved Skin Tone and Texture- It can reduce hyperpigmentation, sunspots, and scars, leading to smoother, more even skin tone.
• Reduced Acne-The anti-inflammatory and skin-healing properties help reduce acne and promote clearer skin.
• Faster Post-Surgery Recovery-Reduces post-operative pain and inflammation, speeding up recovery after surgery.
• Support for Weight Loss- May help reduce fat cells by improving metabolism and cellular energy production.
• Improved Athletic Performance- Enhances muscle endurance, strength, and recovery time for athletes by reducing oxidative stress.
• Reduction in Cellulite-Infrared light therapy helps to break down fat cells, reducing the appearance of cellulite.
• Mood and Mental Health Support-It can help combat depression, anxiety, and seasonal affective disorder (SAD) by promoting the release of serotonin and regulating mood.
• Red and infrared light therapies are non-invasive, painless, and suitable for a variety of health and wellness applications.
