How Does Red Light Therapy Work?

Red light therapy works by stimulating mitochondria within cells to produce energy. Red and near-infrared light is absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase, boosting cellular activity and promoting various health benefits.

4.Why Do the Near-Infrared LEDs Seem Dim?

Near-infrared light has a longer wavelength and is invisible to the human eye. While you may not see the light, the device is operating normally and delivering beneficial energy.

Are there any contraindications for red light therapy?

Red light therapy is generally very safe, but there are some precautions to take. To get the best results and avoid potential risks, please follow these guidelines: Treatment frequency: 4-10 times per week, with each session lasting no more than 15-20 minutes (for panels/flexible devices). Allow at least 6 hours between treatments on the same area. Safe distance: Maintain a distance of 15-50 cm from the light source when using panels, and 25-50 cm when using flexible devices. Eye protection: Always wear the provided safety goggles when using the device. Special populations: Pregnant or breastfeeding women and children should consult a healthcare provider before use. Detailed information: For a more detailed discussion on contraindications and precautions, please refer to our article: "Contraindications of Red Light Therapy."

Can pregnant or breastfeeding women use red light therapy?

While red light therapy may benefit both mother and baby, it is recommended to consult a healthcare provider before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to limited clinical research in these areas.

Can children use red light therapy?

Yes, children can use red light therapy, but it is recommended to shorten treatment times (5-15 minutes) and maintain a greater distance (25-50 cm). Consult a healthcare provider before starting treatment and ensure adult supervision during use.

Do I need to wear eye protection when using the lights?

Yes, it is recommended to wear the provided safety goggles to protect your eyes, especially from direct exposure to the light.

What is the difference between red light and near-infrared light?

Red light: Primarily absorbed by the skin, promoting collagen production and improving skin conditions. Near-infrared light: Penetrates deeper, aiding in muscle recovery, cell renewal, and joint pain relief.

Can light penetrate clothing?

Near-infrared light can penetrate clothing to some extent, but red light has limited penetration. Therefore, it is recommended to expose bare skin to the light when using the device.

Red Light Therapy device: 10 Wavelengths Explained for Targeted Benefits

GeryloveTherapy Updated on Mar 28, 2025

Red light therapy (RLT) uses specific wavelengths to interact with cells, creating unique health benefits. Unlike single-wavelength devices, advanced systems like Gerylove’s 10-wavelength lamp deliver precise, multi-layered care. Below, we break down the science and benefits of each wavelength.

💡 Visible Light Spectrum (400-700nm)

✅ 470nm Blue Light
Targets surface layers to combat acne-causing bacteria (63.8% inhibition rate proven in studies) and balance oil production.

✅ 630nm Red Light
Boosts collagen synthesis (28% increase clinically verified), reduces fine lines, and evens skin tone.

✅ 660nm Red Light
Reaches the dermis layer, accelerating wound healing (40% faster in trials) and calming surface inflammation.

💡 Near-Infrared Spectrum (700-1100nm)

✅ 750nm
Activates mitochondrial ATP production (150% boost) and stimulates hair follicle activity.

✅ 810nm
Penetrates up to 4cm (verified in clinical tests), improves cerebral oxygenation, and relieves deep muscle pain.

✅ 830nm
Enhances bone repair (35% faster healing in animal studies) and speeds recovery from sports injuries.

✅ 850nm
Targets deep nerve endings, reducing chronic pain (57% pain reduction after 4 weeks of use).

✅ 870nm
Reaches joint synovium, improving mobility in rheumatoid stiffness (42% flexibility gain in 6 weeks).

✅ 940nm
Boosts microcirculation (18% higher blood oxygen levels) and flushes metabolic waste.

✅ 1060nm
Penetrates 7cm into muscles—the top choice for professional athletes’ recovery.
