Red & Infrared Light Therapy, Explained
Red light therapy is a non-invasive wellness practice that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light, measured in nanometers (nm). Each wavelength penetrates the body at different depths, which is why red and infrared light are often used together in at-home beauty and wellness routines.
Deep red light, commonly in the 630–660nm range, is designed to reach the surface layers of the skin and is widely used to support the appearance of smoother-looking skin, improved tone, and a healthy glow.
Near-infrared light, typically in the 810–850nm range, penetrates deeper beneath the skin and is often incorporated into routines focused on muscle comfort, joint support, relaxation, and post-workout recovery.
Far-infrared light, around 940nm, is invisible to the eye and reaches even deeper levels of the body. It is commonly associated with whole-body wellness practices and is often used to support circulation, relaxation, and overall recovery.
At-home red and infrared light therapy devices are designed to be easy to use and integrate seamlessly into modern self-care routines. Results can vary, as every body is unique, and consistency plays an important role in individual experiences. Those with specific health concerns or conditions may wish to consult with a healthcare professional before use.
