Red light therapy is a skin/body treatment therapy that uses Light-Emitting Diode (LED) to send concentrated red light wavelengths into the cells through the skin.

In addition, whenever the body cells are treated using the Red Light Therapy, many repairment effects can occur, inducing health benefits like increased collagen production that makes the skin look younger, improved skin tone, and reduction in inflammation/ redness of the skin.

The depth of penetration of the light into the skin intensifies as the light wavelength increases. The red light is absorbed by the skin receptors and then used to create a bio-effect. The level of light penetration is a determining factor.

This doesn't mean that any red-colored light bulb can do a therapeutic job on your skin. The significant effects and benefits depend primarily on the level of energy of red light concentrated therein. This is emphasized should you intend to perform the red-light therapy from home.

Ensuring that light of a certain "wavelength and intensity" is important. Every wavelength is proven to provide a certain set of benefits.

With modern technology and our world-class red light therapy devices, such red or infrared light capable of achieving the desired benefit can be availed from home.

The LED red-light therapy devices are now part of the latest skincare trend rather applied at homes than seeing the dermatologist.

The red-light therapy from home, can, with the push of a button, cure fine lines and wrinkles, signs of aging, acne, hair loss, sore muscles, skin redness, help with weight loss, improve vision, treat eye conditions, treat anxiety and depression, all with the effectiveness of this intense red-light emission.

Infrared Light:

While it's easy, it is erroneous to think red-light is synonymous with infrared light, it is noteworthy to know that light across the visible spectrum are blue, yellow, amber, and red light. Light beyond the visible spectrum is infrared. Infrared light comes after red light; it is of a longer wavelength and invisible to the naked human eye.

Red light wavelengths vary from 600 to 750 nanometers and Infrared light varies from 750 to 880 nanometers. Our state of the art devices are specifically designed to emit these wavelengths.

630nm wavelength (red light) is known to be beneficial for conditions of the skin - in particular lines, wrinkles, signs of ageing, psoriasis, superficial skin cancers and acne. This wavelength also helps hair growth according to various recent studies.

The 660nm wavelength (red light) is known to help with: reduction in training fatigue & inflammation, bone health, swelling reduction following an injury and even quicker wound healing and nerve pain treatment.

The 810nm wavelength (Near-infrared Light) helps with recovery and fast healing, brain function, depression & anxiety and hair re-growth.

The 830nm Wavelength (Near-infrared Light) helps with fighting infections, reduction in swelling, bruising and is particularly useful for athletes in assisting with rapid recovery.

The 850nm wavelength (Near-infrared Light) helps with muscle pain, muscle gain and enhanced muscle repair after workouts. The 850nm wavelength is also known to enhance the benefits of all the above-mentioned wavelengths.

Regarding their respective benefits, infrared light penetrates deeper into the skin, which is often used in combination with the red light.

However, infrared's deeper penetration into the skin doesn't necessarily imply that it's better than red light. They're just different wavelengths producing different bio-effects.

They work perfectly together, which is why RLT Home devices are specially designed to provide all beneficial red and infrared wavelengths at the same time, helping in enhanced and quicker results.

What you seek to achieve determines which light therapy you choose: to reduce the signs of ageing, go for red light or combination with infrared. Or are you more interested in muscle recovery?

How it has become easy and affordable to self-help with RLT at home because of modern-day RLT home devices.

In popular culture, notable celebrities like Jessica Alba have hopped on the trend and added to its widespread popularity, appeal, and public acceptance, as is the case with most home-friendly, high-tech beauty creations.
