Let’s get nerdy…
I have had several clients ask about red light. I love the benefits. If you have had a skin tightening treatment, you have probably experienced with me.
It is also available in our sauna!
Here is what I tell my clients, it does not have to be hundreds of dollars to enjoy. As long as the wavelength is correct.
What are the wavelengths, here is where we get nerdy…
Red light therapy using 660 nm (red) and 850 nm (near-infrared) wavelengths is one of the most studied and effective combinations for skin health, recovery, and cellular performance. Here’s a breakdown of the benefits of each wavelength and how they work together:
⸻
🔴 660 nm (Red Light) – Surface & Skin Benefits
Penetration depth: ~8–10 mm (primarily affects skin and superficial tissues)
Key benefits:
• Skin rejuvenation: Boosts collagen and elastin production, improving firmness and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
• Improved skin tone and texture: Enhances circulation and cellular turnover, helping with dullness and uneven pigmentation.
• Wound healing: Accelerates tissue repair and recovery from cuts, acne, or surgical procedures.
• Anti-inflammatory effects: Reduces redness, swelling, and irritation in conditions like acne, rosacea, and eczema.
• Hair growth support: Stimulates hair follicles in some types of hair thinning.
⸻
🔆 850 nm (Near-Infrared Light) – Deep Tissue Benefits
Penetration depth: Up to ~50 mm (reaches muscles, joints, and even bone)
Key benefits:
• Muscle recovery and performance: Enhances mitochondrial function and ATP production, improving endurance and reducing soreness.
• Joint and pain relief: Reduces inflammation and stiffness in deeper tissues—helpful for arthritis, tendinitis, and general musculoskeletal pain.
• Accelerated healing: Supports regeneration in muscles, ligaments, and nerves after injury.
• Cognitive and neurological support: May improve blood flow and oxygenation to the brain, linked to better mood, focus, and neuroprotection.
• Improved circulation: Increases nitric oxide production, leading to better blood flow and nutrient delivery.
⸻
⚡️ Synergistic Benefits of Combining 660 nm + 850 nm
When used together (as in many dual-spectrum red light panels):
• Comprehensive tissue coverage — both surface-level and deep-tissue benefits.
• Enhanced collagen and muscle repair — ideal for face, body contouring, and post-treatment recovery (like after sculpting or facials).
• Optimized mitochondrial activation — improves cellular energy (ATP) across multiple tissue types.
• Reduced inflammation + improved healing — beneficial for recovery after spa treatments, LED facials, or body sculpting.
I will put a link (affiliated) in the comments of one that is under $100 and can be used for any part of the body.
