The red therapy light is a commonly used physical therapy equipment that uses the thermal effect and biological effects of infrared rays for treatment and health care. Infrared ray is a kind of electromagnetic wave without visible light, whose wavelength is between visible light and microwave.

How to choose the wavelengths of red therapy light to help you more? Here are some analyses and suggestions for your reference.


480nm (blue light)

(1) Antibacterial effect: Blue light of specific wavelengths inhibits certain skin bacteria (such as acne-causing bacteria).

(2) Adjust the biological clock: It can affect the body's circadian rhythm, and appropriate exposure to blue light can help adjust sleep patterns.


630nm (red light)

(1) Cell regeneration: 630nm red light wavelength can stimulate to production of collagen and help the repair and regenerate of skin cells.

(2) Reduce inflammation: It helps reduce skin inflammation and promote wound healing.


660nm (red light)

(1) Deep tissue repair: It can penetrate deeper into the skin to help accelerate muscle recovery and reduce pain and inflammation.

(2) Enhance immune function: Studies have shown that 630nm red light wavelength can enhance cell function and improve immunity.


810nm (near-infrared red light)

(1) Deep tissue penetration: 810nm red light wavelength can penetrate deeper into body tissues and effectively promote the recovery of deep muscles and bones.

(2) Nerve repair: It helps in the repair of nervous tissue and may be beneficial to brain health.


830nm (near-infrared red light)

(1) Increase cell energy: 830nm red light wavelength helps increase cells’ ATP (energy) production, thereby promoting cell repair and regeneration.

(2) Reduce pain and inflammation: This red light wavelength can be used to treat chronic pain and certain types of arthritis.


850nm (near-infrared red light)

(1) Tissue penetration and healing: Similar to 810nm and 830nm red light wavelength, the 850nm red light wavelength can also penetrate deeply into tissues in the body, helping to reduce pain and accelerate recovery.

(2) Enhance vision: Some studies show that 850nm red light wavelength can help improve night vision.


1060nm (near-infrared red light)

(1) Fat reduction: This 1060nm red light wavelength is used for non-invasive fat reduction treatment, which can help reduce the fat layer in the body.

(2) Deep tissue recovery: It can penetrate deep into the subcutaneous tissue to relieve pain and discomfort in deep tissue.

These red light wavelengths are usually used through specific light therapy equipment, such as LED red light therapy, laser therapy, etc. Before using these devices for treatment, it is best to consult with a medical professional to ensure the safety and appropriateness of treatment.
