Is red light therapy approved by the FDA?
Yes, red light therapy is FDA approved for certain treatments.
What is the difference between red light and white light?
White light contains all the colors of the rainbow, just like sunlight. Red light contains a narrow band of a specific wavelength, but red light is also found naturally in white.
What is the difference between LED light and laser?
Both laser LED light is light of a specific wavelength. The difference is that with lasers, all light quanta are in phase with each other, so-called coherent light. This makes the technology effective but problematic due to heat generation and...
Does the light therapy panel emit heat?
Red light therapy is a form of photobiomodulation, and is usually referred to as non-heat producing. However, the longer wavelengths in the form of NIR will produce a certain heat development if the effect is sufficient, and it is this...
What is the difference between red light and near infrared light?
The difference is the wavelengths which are 620-750 nm for red light 750-850 nm for near infrared light (NIR). We can also see red light, while infrared light cannot be perceived by the eyes. The red light does not penetrate...
How does red light therapy compare to regular sunlight?
"Red light therapy provides an optimal amount of light of the right wavelength and, unlike sunlight, it does not damage the skin as red light therapy does not provide UV light. In the best case, the sun can produce the...
What does photobiomodulation mean?
Photobiomodulation is about creating a positive impact on biological systems with light.
You can do separate red light treatments for near infrared light and red light. However, it is more time efficient to use both at the same time. In addition, two different wavelengths of these types seem to have a biphasic...
Can children use red light therapy?
Yes, as far as research has shown, there are no differences between children and adults when using red light therapy.
