Product Information

Hand-Held Devices, Wands, and Pens — Hand-held devices are most appropriate for targeting very specific bodily locations. Red light usually radiates from a circular area around five to 15 centimeters in diameter. The most effective red light wavelengths for pain relief are 650, 660, 780, 810, 820, 830, 900, and 980 nm. Wound and Injury Healing However, absorption into certain kinds of tissue (most notably, the tissue where a lot of water is present) can interfere with light photons passing through, and result in shallower tissue penetration. The 810nm wavelength offers a unique array of neurological benefits, including the ability to project all the way into the brain.

All wavelengths of red LED light will provide benefits, but wavelengths from 630 to 680 nm demonstrate the most healing power. Infrared Light The shorter the wavelength and the lower on the spectrum, the less effective light is at penetrating your body to a significant cellular level to stimulate change and healing. The use of the 850nm wavelength can foster the speedy realignment of teeth for patients undergoing orthodontics. As valuable as these results are, it bears repeating that better results could be expected by combining wavelengths in the red and NIR spectrum. Let’s explore that now. What Is the Best Wavelength and Spectrum for Red Light Therapy?

Please note:

nm — color: near infrared, invi s ible to human eye ; Limited research available, but some studies suggest potential in tissue healing. wavelengths have been shown to help expedite wound healing, helping the tissue to granulate more rapidly. Improved recovery from stroke in certain patients Blue light is much lower on the spectrum of visible light than red light. Its wavelengths are only approximately 380 – 500nm.

There’s no question that light therapy in general creates positive biological effects; in fact, the body needs light to be healthy. Natural sunlight has been used for centuries as a healing modality, although today we know that certain wavelengths can be beneficial as well as harmful. Red light therapy draws upon your body’s natural cellular processes to activate change and help you become your healthiest, fittest, and most radiant self. What are the Different Lights in Red Light Therapy? Beyond 1,000 nm, the story changes. Infrared saunas often use wavelengths longer than 1,000 nm as part of infrared light therapy — although this is another area where caution is advised due to the possibility of thermal damage. But the wavelengths are only part of the picture. Light Power Output Helps Ensure Optimal Light Photon Absorption Red light exists in a spectrum of wavelengths. The best wavelength to use depends upon the condition being treated and your specific objective(s). Certain wavelengths and ranges of wavelengths are known to have specialized healing abilities. Before delving into which wavelengths are most appropriate for various purposes, it is necessary to understand what red light therapy is, how it works, and what it does to your body.

Multiwave PBM systems will mix different wavelengths of energy, with the objective of stimulating multiple healing signature at different depths to stimulate different cell types. Some studies suggest that pulsing light might be more effective than continuous light for certain treatments. Pulsing light can reduce heat generation and potentially increase cellular response to light therapy.

Improved recovery from traumatic brain injury: As confirmed by this pilot study in 2007, 810 nm NIR light therapy has been shown in animal models to be particularly effective in promoting recovery from traumatic brain injuries and reducing long-term neurological damage. Virtually any condition or disease can derive some level of benefit from red light therapy because your body’s natural healing capacity is maximized. Increased cellular energy drives your body to perform at its highest level. Which Wavelengths Are Most Commonly Used?

UV light (10 – 310 nm’s) may cause tanning of the skin and as well is expected to cause skin damage. PBM using high intensity LED’s in the visible and NIR spectrum typically have no UV light.Improved bone healing: A 2015 study found that red light at 660 nm was even more effective than the 830 nm wavelength in increasing ATP production in vitro and an initial acceleration of callus formation in the bone fracture healing process. Next, we studied the effect of the irradiation dose at 405 nm. Irradiation with 0.02 kW cm −2 was applied at different pulse frequencies (continuous wave (cw), 10, 5 and 1 Hz) and pulse lengths (cw, 500, 100, 50, 20, 10, 2 and 1 ms) resulting in total irradiation times of 2.4–120 s ( Fig. 3b and Supplementary Table 2). For pulsed irradiation the total acquisition time has been kept constant at 240 s. Our data show that pulsed and cw irradiation at 405 nm with 0.02 kW cm −2 corresponding to a total irradiation time of 60 seconds (1.2 kJ cm −2) is sufficient to kill virtually all irradiated U2OS cells ( Fig. 3b). On the other hand, U2OS cells stand a 10 3-times higher irradiation dose (1,410 kJ cm −2) at 640 nm undamaged (cw, 6 kW cm −2 for 240 s, Fig. 3a).
