Red light therapy is a form of light treatment that uses visible red light and invisible near-infrared light with specific wavelengths. These types of light penetrate different depths of the skin and are absorbed by the cells' "energy engines," the mitochondria. The light can thereby support the cells' natural functions, which many experience can contribute to improved skin quality, more energy, faster recovery, and a general sense of well-being. The treatment is painless, natural, and free from UV radiation.

When red and near-infrared light is absorbed by the mitochondria – the powerhouses of the cells – it can help support the production of ATP, which is the energy the body uses in all its processes. When the cells function more efficiently, the body can feel more energetic, refreshed, and balanced. The light also affects local blood circulation, which in turn can support nutrient supply and oxygenation in the treated area.

No, although both use infrared light, they work in different ways. Infrared saunas primarily use long-wave infrared light (FIR) to heat the body and induce sweating. Red light therapy uses short-wave near-infrared light (NIR) as well as visible red light to affect cell functions without noticeably heating the body. It is more about providing the cells with light energy than raising the body temperature.

Red light therapy is well documented in science, especially in areas such as skin function, energy metabolism, and recovery. The technique has long been used in medicine, sports, and skincare. It is therefore not a quick health trend, but a method backed by solid research – which has now become available for home use thanks to new technological solutions.

Many use red light therapy as part of their beauty routine specifically to support the skin's firmness and radiance. The light can help the skin feel firmer and more even over time by promoting the skin's natural renewal process.

Some people find that regular use of red light therapy helps the skin feel cleaner and more balanced. It can help soothe the skin and support its natural function, making it a valued complement for oily or unbalanced skin.

Absolutely! Many describe how the skin has gained a new radiance after a few weeks of use. Red light therapy can support the skin's microcirculation, which gives a healthier and more even appearance.

Yes, it is a perfect tool to provide the skin with extra support during the cold months. The light can help the skin feel less tight and more hydrated – a natural addition to your winter skincare.

Many athletes and exercisers use red light therapy to recover faster after training. The light can help the body feel softer and more energetic, making it easier to get going again the next day.

Yes, some experience increased energy and better focus after regular use. This is probably because the light supports the mitochondria, which produce the energy our cells need.

There is research showing that light at certain wavelengths can support the body's own systems. Many use red light therapy as part of their health-promoting routine – year-round.

Absolutely! It is an effective and simple tool for those who want to optimize their recovery, mobility, and sense of balance in the body.

A red light therapy session should last between 10 and 20 minutes. The exact time depends on the effect and coverage area of ​​the product, as well as the specific treatment goal. High-performance devices with wider coverage may require shorter sessions, while smaller devices or treatment of specific problem areas may need longer. Adjust the treatment time according to your needs and the product's specifications for the best results.

If you have something you want to treat, such as pain or skin problems, the effect of red light therapy is usually quite obvious. In order to really measure the results of the light therapy, you can take pictures of the skin problems at least once a week during the treatment period, and then compare the different occasions. Pain can also be measured by estimating how severe it is from 1-10, where 10 is the worst and 1 is no pain. Make notes before and after each treatment session so that you get black and white. Memory often fails when it comes to pain sensations in particular. If you use the red light panel for performance enhancement, it is also interesting to keep a record of the results, but of course it can be difficult to distinguish the effect from the lights and other factors that influence, such as diet, rest and training intensity. Otherwise, most people who use the lamp tend to feel a sense of well-being that is obvious, but difficult to put measurement values ​​on.

The optimal distance from the red light therapy lamp is approximately 10-15 centimeters. The further away you sit, the lower the effect. The lamp's effect is greatest where the light directly hits the body. If you sit further away, you cover a wider area but with a lower intensity. If you sit closer, you treat a smaller area but with greater effect. Therefore, adjust the size and distance of the lamp according to your specific treatment needs for best results.

Red light therapy can be used at any time of the day. Discriminating against blue light, red light therapy does not make you alert and can therefore be used with advantage in the evening. It seems to help with sleep problems and some people successfully divide the use of the lamp into one treatment in the morning "to get started" and one in the evening to increase melatonin and fall asleep more easily.
